Isn't this what things like CIBA is supposed to address? You still need to do some work, and one could argue that the issue isn't really new, just that we're too lazy. Agentic systems just shifts the focus of where the problem is to where it should be: The role had too wide permissions for the task at hand.

I agree that realism is a much abused word, and I think this is an example of it.

The first part of your sentence is realism: it is not surprising that Russia chooses to treat Western help as taking part in the war. That does not make it true. Advising, supplying and sharing intelligence is not the same as fighting.

The second part is not realism. Realism explains what states do. It does not say who is right, or who has the right to complain. "Don't have a leg to stand on" is a moral judgment, with the word realism put on it.

This is exactly how Russia wants the word to be used. Right after the full invasion started, the Russian foreign ministry shared a Mearsheimer article that blamed the West for the war. The goal is to make Russia's actions look like a natural reaction to the West, so that objecting to them looks naive.

Maybe you don't mean it that way, but going from "unsurprising" to "don't have a leg to stand on" does the same thing.

If Article 5 is invoked NATO responds, and if not, the countries supporting Ukraine already are, with sanctions and military aid that keep increasing over time. Russia wants to know our limits so they can push right up to them, and we shouldn't give them that.

Not at all.

You said 27 days of planned outage is crazy uptime in the world of electricity production. Hydro routinely beats that by an order of magnitude.

The whole doctrine itself is built on the idea that you as an attacker don’t get to decide where the line is. The principle of ambiguity. Russia desperate wants to know where the line is, because they know very well that when they cross it it won’t end.

This is a fundamental principle of NATO as a defensive alliance, have always been and will continue to be.

Now you have voices, coming mostly from outside, that are trying to make this out to be a bad thing and to show some kind og weakness in the alliance, when it is one of the core tenants of the alliance itself.

That’s simply not true and a gross misreprestation of the policy, which is still in place.

And it not dropped to cater to Ukraine, as it specifically has a carve-out for legal defensive war, which the Russian war of aggression towards Ukraine is.

It deliberately is that way, and I’d argue that most people in NATO countries know and understand this. You are taught this in school. It is what they call the Principle of Ambiguity.

Also, giving up the control of when to declare war or not would be something no country would willingly give up.

Lately there’s been this push with talking points like yourself, and I’m not trying imply something about you specifically, but it is interesting with the timing and the goal of undermining NATO as a defensive military alliance.

Your average hydroelectric power station measure yearly downtime due to maintenance in hours.

I'm also a little bummed that they seem to have dropped the Pro Display XDR. I wanted a 32" display as the main display, and then use my existing two Studio Display vertically as secondary on each side.

I guess we're going to see how the support for DP Alt-Mode will be, as I'm not sure how much bandwidth that can provide, so 120Hz might be out of the question. But for now that has been a simple way to get around the lack of multiple display inputs, you just needed a separate KVM switch for it.

One thing that made Tahoe even worse is that Apple changed what they considered an update or upgrade, so for Tahoe it was suddenly considered as a update and not an upgrade, in all management solutions.

This force-upgraded a lot of Macs at work and we lost days of effective work across many engineers. The machines was practically useless for weeks.

They clearly don't care about power users anymore, and haven't for quite some time. It's so sad.

You should be careful about speaking in absolute terms when talking about copyright.

There is nothing that prevents multiple people from owning copyright to identical works. This is also why copyright infringement is such a mess to litigate.

I'd also be interested in knowing why you think code generated by LLMs can't be copyrighted. That's quite a statement.

There's also the problem with copyright law and different jurisdictions.

It would surprise me if it was, because of features like certificate transparency logs.

When this information is useful you've either got fundamental security related issues that needs to be addressed long before this, or you're dealing with threat actors with significant capabilities. In the latter case you've probably already taking this into account when you're creating your stuff, or you have the capability and technical understanding to know how to properly roll out your own PKI.

The overlap of people that suggest that you either run your own PKI or just distribute a wildcard certificate and have the technical understanding on how to do this in a secure way is minuscule. The rest of those people are probably better off using something like Lets Encrypt.
