>what do you recommend them to do?

Shut down the affected services until they can install the patch. This issue is widespread enough that users will understand. Many government etc sites are affected too.

Making the main staircase more fire-resistant is great but I'm not fully convinced by the arguments for removing external ones instead of having both.

If the main stairs do turn out to be impassable for some reason despite the new measures, I'd much rather have the option to risk taking an external fire escape even if it might be rusty or blocked by clutter.

>The dead reckoning a phone does over its accelerometers absolutely yields a position

Accelerometers yes, gyroscopes no. The video covers accelerometers later but hasn't introduced them yet, and the "your phone knows its position" line has a visual of an IC labelled "MEMS gryoscope".

"Your phone knows its position in space"

Mistakes happen, but in a video about gyroscopes it's hard to forgive mistaking position and orientation. That's the kind of thing that warrants a delete and re-upload.

I'm against the use of AI for creative work, but

>[X] is not something an LLM will ever be very competent at

I'm no longer convinced that this is a particularly safe bet for any value of X. LLMs have absolutely been demonstrated as capable of doing things that they're theoretically the wrong type of model for, like generating images by writing SVGs or simulating brush strokes.

Interesting. Do you have any evaluations to support the claims that this improves performance?

Are you using Firefox on ios? It’s a long-running bug with that browser that affects most pages with multiple videos and drives me mad.

Thanks, I was familiar with encryption but not with bitlocker.

So this only affects a particular mode of bitlocker in which the drive is automatically decrypted on boot without the user providing any secret. Meaning the key is basically stored in plaintext on-device, albeit in a convoluted way.

To me it seems intuitive that such a mode isn't secure. It's a bit like protecting your door with an unpickable unbreakable lock, but then putting the key in a lockbox on the wall with a flimsy padlock that can be raked or cut off in seconds.

It seems roughly equivalent to not encrypting the drive at all so it doesn't seem surprising that there's a way to bypass it.

If I was releasing a laptop with Linux support as a key selling point, and the battery life was bad on Ubuntu 24.04 but good on the pre-release 26.04, then I'd advertise the good figures and write "tested on Ubuntu 26.04 beta, requires Linux 7.0 or later" in the footnotes.

I definitely /wouldn't/ rely on just Windows figures for a machine that's otherwise advertised as "Linux first". If the battery life was the same on both, I'd prominently mention that.

At its current distance, best case RTT would be about 420ms

Similarly, "X that actually works"

Looks much closer to Haiku than Sonnet.

Maybe "Qwen3.5 122B offers Haiku 4.5 performance on local computers" would be a more realistic and defensible claim.
