For top left I'd like to humbly nominate SCO Unix.

Like anyone who's been paying the least bit of attention, I was wondering "wait, what's new here?"

In a letter sent Tuesday to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Raskin said the documents point to a broader risk to national security, writing: “These new disclosures suggest that Donald Trump stole documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, that the documents President Trump stole pertained to his business interests.”

This is more interesting than the headline, in my opinion. The claim that they "pertained to his business interests" is not exactly the same thing as selling them to the highest bidder. It suggests either that Trump's businesses are the subject of intense scrutiny by the fed or, more likely and more worrying, Trump is much deeper into brokering sensitive information than we expected (as in, it's one of his main sources of income).

See, this is why openai can never go public: if it has to open its books, the music stops.

Disney does not have the luxury of teasing its investors with billion dollar deals-- every quarter, they have to report where they're stacking their chips, and any cute shit will get them sued and investigated at a minimum. They probably expect their peers to meet them halfway on that.

Openai is not a serious company. When a major prospective partner like fucking Disney wants to open a billion dollar account, what possible excuses could a real company have for not figuring it out?

HOAs make a lot of sense when there's shared private infrastructure, like elevators. They make less sense when they dictate what color residents can paint their houses.

At least pushing it is free :)

I'll be honest, after we pivoted to Afghanistan from Iraq, I assumed I'd never see American boots in Iran. It is inspiring to know that someone has the hubris to go where no one before him dared.

I assume you mean radio frequencies, and the answer is basically none. A grounded fireproof safe is basically a perfect faraday cage.

EDIT: Ok, I actually have a pedantic answer for this. If you put a microphone on a device inside the safe, you can signal it from outside by sending it vibrations, and you could encode a message in binary and thus technically send it a "digital signal". If you wanted to be a little more analog you could use Morse code :)

Probably yeah. A fireproof safe will be airtight, so the system can only produce as much energy as whatever reagents you put inside.

Where is "nothing is real, but good luck making use of that information"?

Littrell noted the workers who participated in the study all came from highly educated backgrounds in HR, accounting, marketing and finance, had bachelor’s degrees and even PhDs, which shows the findings go beyond simply assessing the intelligence of the study participants.

Actually, I'm not convinced that we've managed to eliminate that hypothesis. The only group that gives me pause is accounting.

It also says "never", but yeah, it's a pretty bland statement when you put the context back in (literally and figuratively).

Holy hell, the fact that those slack messages and that chatbot history ended up in court is mind blowing. I guess we should be grateful that this time, the bad guy and his hamfisted "Project X" got put in the spotlight.
