Getting timeouts from dig, but the gTLD servers still show the delegation. So it's a problem with the usps.com auth zone servers.

I am starting to believe the theory that the IT industry (well, the Silicon Valley part) is just chasing the dragon to try and relive the glory days of the early Internet boom. So it's trying to will the next big thing into existence.

Blockchain wasn't it, crypto became a haven for scams so normal people avoided it. AI is just the latest tech to be artificially pumped to make it appear "Silicon Valley" still has the magic.

I think the term someone coined is "Doomtrolling" - the tendency to oversell AI as fundamentally upending IT, security, the economy, social order, etc. Both sides (pro and anti AI) do it.

It likely isn't: https://arxiv.org/abs/2512.10100

Feels like the days when SQL injection was seen all the time. We learned mixing instructions and data is a bad idea and a constant game of whack-a-mole. Now a new generation gets to learn this lesson.

Having a light truck really comes in handy, this might fill that need. Range wouldn't be an issue most of the time. Just depends on how big the market is with these groups:

Young people: affordable, useful for moving (dorm, apartments, etc.), outdoor activities.

Wealthier w/ land: cheap enough to be a 3rd (4th?) vehicle useful when running to Home Depot or Ikea to get stuff.

Fear or ignorance? I've had similar discussions back in the day and there were two themes in all the arguments:

1. Major cloud providers are professionals (implying you somehow aren't). They do this so well people pay them, so they must be better at it than anyone else on earth.

2. Perceived ease of use: management has been using Gmail/MS Office for so long they naturally assume there is no alternative. Why switch from something that works? Plus when something goes wrong they have a full team fixing it instead of the local IT guys (back to argument 1).

Because it's an EO, which is not a law. EOs can only direct how the executive branch functions. Sometimes it could include calls for regulation if there are pre-existing regulatory powers.

This looks aimed at influencers at first. The only feature touted is more data about viewers and followers.

If it were a non-horrible version of social media, maybe. I get the feeling it will be just the same with more data to target your herd (sorry, "followers").

Or lean into the "science" part of CS. There is a lot to examine about how complex systems actually operate. Like what does "typical" network traffic look like? Is there even such a thing that can be broken down into categories like "enterprise", "home", etc.? It's been hard to create a tool to mimic or create synthetic traffic loads for testing.

Of those that do have SPF RRs (most), curious to see if any have "~all" set, which basically negates every policy part that comes before it. Or how large the number of approved senders would be.

Probably endgame plus getting "too big to fail" and getting gov't bailouts if things don't work out. It's part of the lobbying theme that LLMs are the next great power struggle.

In some ways this feels like the first few years of the USSR. Productivity was measured by input usage, not output. So you had factories that made furniture and light fixtures where the items got heavier every year just so they could report that their factories used more steel and wood than last year.

AI is also bad at identifying things that don't exist, but should.

The first time someone fell for a phishing email that was LLM generated we had proof of AI telling convincing lies.

Zero tolerance can lead to a new type of bullying: state sponsored. I remember a younger colleague who talked about her school experience, this was just at the start of zero tolerance because there was a belief that bullying caused school gun violence. Bullies quickly found out it was easy to just report "weird" kids as potential shooters and let the school torment them with investigations.

Maybe less "Brave New World" and more "Dune". This feels like trying to create mentats.

That has been the assumption in most of these cases. The agency must already have a list of people they want, so a short window keeps the risk of someone else jumping to the front of the queue.

The trouble with IPv6 pitch was that there are a lot of additional features beyond "more address space". However, other solutions and workarounds were developed so that those features failed to become a selling point. You could get that with current IPv4 + other protocols.

There is enough deployment now that pushing an alternative will face the installed base. There is a lot of IPv6 deployment out there that isn't always visible and that will stick around for a while even if IPv8 gains traction.

Two possibilities:

1. Fear that a major vulnerability is found in a commonly used software package that puts multiple major banks and e-commerce sites at risk

2. Fear that major vulnerabilities are found in multiple, widely used software packages that lead to market downturn as IT company stocks crash.

Probably others as well. Sounds more like a brief on worst-case scenarios that may happen and how they would effect the US banking sector. This is an important mid-year election this year too, so any big economic shock would be bad for the GOP.

I've used it. It's the mail user agent for those with large inboxes that also have bad memory. The search features are very powerful. Or you can set up rules as complex as you want to tag/sort/move mail.

Like any war, the weapons that appear the most effective are desired by every other country. The are seen as "battle tested" and at least have some track record of working.

Likewise the combatants. When this war is over there will be a cadre of skilled drone operators suddenly free. In some cases, these individuals will turn mercenary and hire themselves out to other militaries around the world.

Not really. There was a huge interest in biomedical research in 2021. Now that interest has been taken over by AI and defense technology.

The Netherlands punches above its weight in cybersecurity expertise. They are likely helping others in Europe including Ukraine. This seems like an obvious response from Russia to try and get inside their operations.

I don't know either. I do wonder if AI is just and excuse since saying "we have to let people go because the economy is bad and our costs are up." spooks investors while "We adopted magic AI and don't need people anymore" sounds like these companies are being proactive so investors don't dump their stocks.

It seems the question has been answered in the headline.

Because there are some things you don't want to put in writing or a recorded web meeting.

Not currently, but I notice that when there is a site breach I get notified about, I get an uptick of new spam/fraud texts/calls shortly after for a few weeks. Could be that it's just your turn for the spam.

The panic is hitting the Mid-Atlantic hard. People who were around for the major snowstorms 10 and 16 years ago (when some people were snowed in for days) are rushing to stock up. Store shelves are looking more like March 2020 COVID days.

I doubt that the .net TLD pulled the registration on purpose. WHOIS claims it was registered yesterday. Unless the TLD had some sort of hickup and reverted back to a version before it was registered. Or something on the registrar end that made it a parked domain instead of live.

Or someone got the registration pulled for some reason. Check your registrar portal.

Given the lack of mention of any benefits prior to this, it sure sounds like "you'll get lots of exposure!"

Well, they are also "partnering" with some private sector companies. I guess the idea is that candidates will put in their 2 years, then take their contact list and join federal sales arm of one of the private companies.
