Whenever I post about Ai solving math theorems, a bunch of people say it's just a million monkeys at a million typewriters producing the complete works of Shakespeare. But the problem is that if you had a million monkeys at a million typewriters, they literally couldn't produce the Works.

I’ve been in the security business since 1999 and the past month has been like nothing I’ve seen before in terms of 0day vulnerabilities. We were told this wouldn’t happen until mythos was made public 🙃

If you run a peertube instance and have not patched in the past 4 hours, you are way behind and likely have been compromised. The latest patch will help clean up the mess.

Trade was still largely conducted in goods in 1500s Sweden. If you sold commodities to the Crown, you were often paid in iron or butter. When Mad King Erik succeeded his father Gustavus, there were 488 metric tonnes of butter in the Crown storehouse in Stockholm.

Stopping the system fans to heat up the system to shift clock phase by a few femtoseconds is one of the less hinged ideas I’ve seen come out of CERN lol. (AFAIU this was an experiment for a software retrofit to hardware otherwise incapable of such adjustments)

This is part of the larger phenomenon of “savvy makes you stupid.” Yes, politicians have always spun, exaggerated, cherry picked. But constant fabrication utterly unmoored from reality? No, not really. Insisting Trump is nothing new is ignorance masquerading as worldliness.
