And these models are deployed in a large number of data centers, with thousands of employees and on millions of GPU:s. The GPUs are built abroad and shipped to the datacenter. Billions are likely spent by China and Russia to get their hands on these weights, one could argue that ripping off the band-aid now is the only way forward.

Oh, look! Another model that's supposedly amazing at Cybersecurity.

Too bad you won't be able to use it to secure your open-source projects. If you try it'll throw up a prompt telling you to use some initiative you can't use or afford while the provider collects the findings. What a racket.

Germany cleverly designed this particular variant of the 'free market' to ensure that access to cheap energy can't be used as a competitive advantage against their industries when they closed their nuclear plants. Having the same price in northern Sweden and Norway in winter as in central Europe is insane.

Now Sweden is stuck in a terrible situation where we're forced to quickly sell our excess energy to Google/Microsoft/Facebook before the EU will force the use of the bottleneck fees to build more cables to Germany.

Some of the states held presidential elections, not all, but the winners write history so it worked out fine in that case.

I still maintain the CD LPMud driver for Genesis MUD at https://github.com/cotillion/cd-gamedriver. There is not very much activity though since most critical issues have been fixed over the years and the game is very stable.

Infineon chips are used in some smart tachographs in EU. This is likely to get very messy.

Extract those keys and your drivers can ignore all annoying work-time rules and you can just patch the files if you are audited.

My experience is that customers don't really care that much about small amounts of downtime no matter what size you are, people mostly get that unexpected stuff happens as long as you don't get hacked or misplace their data. Customers might complain a bit but seldom leave because of a few hours downtime.

This seems to mostly hold true to developers also, GitHub manages to survive just fine after all.

They obviously had no separation at all between customers within the DC though. Which is worrying.

Ouch.

Apparently Firefox has "Https First" also but requires the pref dom.security.https_first to be set.

"HTTPS-Only Mode" is obviously best if you can do that.

I think those of us who have had to suffer through ClearQuest, Lotus notes etc have an entirely different scale on how bad things can be compared to those who appear to really really hate Jira today. I'm not a fan of Jira but atleast it loads, eventually.

This appears to be some Chinese source with the same info: https://cn-sec.com/archives/853339.html

Looking at Github and uses of SerializationUtils.deserialize this is going to be painful.
