I came across this recently ... hints of Tradewars from the good old days.

No. Not the demos in this article.

... and the default instructions guide you to install the Raspberry Pi Imager which will format and configure an SD card for your hardware.

The recommended OS during this process is .... "Raspberry Pi OS" i.e. Raspbian.

In this case? Social Network protocol scene but generally the open source world (and every other niche interest in existence) has it's own bouts with scene drama.

... because of the evidence all around us?

But really, nobody said "only" it's just that the gems are drowning alongside us in a sea of bullshit and the tide is still on the way up I'm afraid.

Never underestimate the siren song of scene drama.

I didn't know that they (the reverse ATMs) were being outlawed until i saw a Kitboga + AARP interview on youtube the other day.

Kitboga is a dang hero.

(I'd worry less about crypto though as it's pretty hard for grandma to reliably setup)

These scumbags send grandma to a Bitcoin ATM.

I estimated about 6 quid. We left £3300 behind because 3300 1-lb bags of sugar only costs £1800.

;) I like these easy breezy Late Friday threads!

Well that's what ... 300 or so pints?

Megagrams?? I like it.

well that's just £3300 then, yeah?

Only the rightists do and among them really only the loud redfaced ones.

Didn't Steve Bannon do a tour in Europe recently to dispense some of his strategy?

This smells like him, honestly.

Oh i've worked with plenty. Maybe they knew more than they let on but they were (and are) convinced that every little belch is a full on attack.

I know their day to day is just as mundane as the rest of ours it's their "Step 1" approach that i've seen to be entirely different. I assume it's probably a software bug, they assume it's an exploit.

It's because you (like me) aren't quite as paranoid as security people are. Personally I couldn't sleep at night if I was security people.

It's really a matter of context. Security people tend to only be involved when things are already nefarious where as boring old normal people like us see get to see the mundane everyday mistakes so not just the nefarious bits.

It claims to be backed by (and require) apple/containers(1) which "consumes and produces OCI-compatible container images" so if all that is true .... yes!

1) https://github.com/apple/container

Really it's the only way to win at gambling.

"... moving truth from the realm of objectivity to the realm of subjectivity."

Admittedly this is not typical HN faire but Ash talks about the impact of "the algorithm" and impact on the parlance of truth.

Plus she's very entertaining.

close, but not quite. I suppose in the way that originally set him off, yes.

It looks like they're using the Creative Commons BY-NC-SA 4.0 license so restricting commercial use which I think would run afoul of the purists definition of Freedom?

It's a cool printer, and I'd much rather have something like this!

Where I live (Durham, NC) Google Fi's MNO is T-Mobile so they're effectively the same.

Same, they must mean Google Voice. I've used Google Fi for gosh, 8-9+ years (honestly don't remember, but a good long while) and I've had ZERO problems with anything relating to using it as my cell provider.

i knew it was a little while after WWII (college history was long, long ago!) but didn't realize it was ... 1975-1977!!

This is the bit in the copyright offices' report that i'm trying to square:

The Office concludes that, given current generally available technology, prompts alone do not provide sufficient human control to make users of an AI system the authors of the output.

https://www.copyright.gov/ai/Copyright-and-Artificial-Intell...

Your AI slop is effectively public domain.

I haven't been able to square this belief (This is what i believe too.) with what I perceive as so, so many people making projects, putting them on github and slapping an MIT/GPL license on them.

If IP rights can't be applied to generated code then how are they able to apply a such a license to them?

I've asked this before and the response was along the lines of people thinking their multiple prompting amounted to human creative process and therefore it was covered but ... how? Any lawyers around that can ELI5 it for us? Maybe links to a lawyer somewhere who did?

it's not your bike that he stole.

I'm pretty sure the Optimization part is just ... not present at all.

This is how we get LLM summaries presenting something mentioned once by some nutjob in a reddit thread as bona fide FACT

The Uber guy? Yeah that was a painful watch.

Who knows. I'm sure it was pretty expensive. Was certainly more comfortable on that side of their legal desk though I'm sure.

I remember all this too. The time period that I was in this scene was AFTER 2010 though so who knows. As mentioned in response to the sibling "credible sources" bro, I was just a lowly support engineer so i had to trust that the CEO wasn't lying to us about all this.

Maybe he was ... they do that sometimes.

I looked around a little. the C&D from Netapp was in ~July 2010 and the partnership and product with Oracle in the Fall (Around the cease fire) and we continued with that (via the Oracle Partnership) through 2011-2015 when the company ran out of cash and laid us all off.
