Yeah, Linode still hasn't updated their mirror. Vultr has though.

Edit: Linode just updated its mirror.

Thanks. The relevant quote:

> We have done some preliminary assessment, there appears to be a flaw in the KGC script that was used on that specific day to create these ECC issuers. As for these ECC keys, our review of the KGC, assessment of the code and view of HSM keys so far indicate that a) a set of original ECC keys were created onboard as expected b) an approved deviation to our usual KGC to test a wrap/unwrap was introduced as these keys were meant for export for this instance c) a flaw in the code resulted in the second pair of keys being created onboard which were weaker d) these second pair of weaker keys were used by mistake to create the csr (because the key labels were similar) and signed by our root e) the CSR from these weaker keys were also sent over to Sectigo for cross signing (we verified the files sent over to Sectigo)

So you can know it's correct and fix mistakes?

Most large cities in the world have had thousands of public CCTV cameras for decades. Traffic enforcement cameras have been super normal for even longer.

It's just marketing. They want people to believe they're selling super intelligence that is powerful enough to destroy the world of it fell into the wrong hands. It's much more effective than saying that you have a slightly more effective slop generator which obviously has no actual intelligence.

They don't taste the same, they're much more expensive, and I worry what sort of negative health effects all the ingredients may have.

"Designed to influence…voting behaviour" is incredibly vague. A play with political undertones could absolutely fit that definition. I understand that's not what was intended by the law, but if someone was advertising plays with support for policies you didn't like, you likely would be calling that political.

More relevantly, a broad, vague policy means an EU regulator can prosecute Meta whenever they feel like it if Meta does not go overboard.

This actually is a result of Meta being forced to obey EU law. Not sure why the article didn't explain things at all, but Regulation (EU) 2024/900 greatly restricts political advertising with typical vagueness, so Meta is enforcing a broad ban to ensure they comply.

Yes, I was initially confused by the title and the content talking about two different things. I've edited my post with the correct numbers now. Even the household numbers are wrong, and the taxes and benefits numbers are very wrong.

Very hard to parse, not very helpful, and blatantly wrong. Cutting through the slop, the "bottom 50% of households" average income is said to be $22,907 without any expenses? The middle 20% making $60,298? That's...very obviously incorrect.

The median household income is $83,730: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEHOINUSA646N

The average for the bottom 50% of households is $30,000-something. Would take too much effort to figure out the exact figure for a comment, but still way higher what this site says, and I still feel like this is more effort than went into this misinformation site.

Its own linked source says that for 2022 the bottom quintile makes $26.2k before taxes and transfers and $44.8k after, while this site says $17.2k after. No wonder it's coming up with such wacky conclusions like saying a majority of America is going into debt while only buying the bare essentials and nothing else. If you use the correct income numbers, even the bottom quintile averages out to having $16k extra after essentials.

Not to mention the adversarial risk. Prompt injection, LLM-maximized advertising, and just common scams are going to take so much money if these catch on.

Yeah, sorry, I tried to imply that. Publicly available on a website is included in "otherwise legally view".

Running code through a deterministic formatter definitely helps a lot, but I've generally found LLMs' comments to add no-to-negative value. They just say what code does, typically very verbosely that just inflates files more while also just stating the most obvious aspects of the code and not adding any meaning behind it because they obviously don't know that. Not to the mention all the cases where they make mistakes and then you have code you don't intuitively understand and also have comments telling you it does something it doesn't.
