Al Blue: When Al Capone becomes a cop.

Damn.

I suppose the obvious question of why Amazon doesn’t have an intuitive way of rate limiting those can be answered by the huge bills people rack up.

Never used AWS but would it help to bake a daemon into your default OS image that shuts it down after 24 hours? That way you need to manually disable it for the ones you want to keep.

Why have two different forces when violence works the same way on both your own citizens and foreigners? taps head

We speak Mandarin at home and microwave in Mandarin is 微波 “way bo” (literally means “micro wave”). To “microwave” as a verb usually gets shortened to the first character in colloquial speak. We 微 “way” our leftovers.

微波 means microwave as in that particular frequency range on the electromagnetic spectrum. When referring to the kitchen appliance as a noun, we specifically say 微波炉 “way bo lu” which means “microwave stove.”

Additional fun fact: If you think it sounds like Weibo the website, you’re right. It has almost the same pronounciation but has a tonal difference on the second character. Weibo means “micro blog,” same first character but the second character is 博 which is a loan word for blog.

Wouldn’t that also mean that when the file gets overwritten, i.e the next time the system hibernates, you can potentially run a data recovery program on the C filesystem to leak its previous contents since modern filesystems don’t necessarily immediately overwrite the underlying data anymore, but usually just change the regions on the drive the file points to? So you could have ghost memory dumps hiding out in your free space just waiting for malware to access. You can definitely recover data from the free space of a Bitlocker volume because the encryption is transparent to the filesystem.

This is also why I don’t like swap files and always disable them (or use an OS like Fedora that doesn’t have them by default), because it kind of defeats the point of only storing some data in RAM for security.

I could just be ignorant of how memory files in storage are managed though.

Also doesn’t hibernate write your RAM contents to your disk? That sounds like a great way to leak your passwords and encryption keys in plaintext. Also you need to always reserve the same amount of space on disk as your RAM and can’t use that space for anything else on the off chance you might want to hibernate.

Right wing conspiracy theorists: “YOU’LL SEE! IT’S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THE CHINESE COMMUNIST JEWISH MUSLIM SATANISTS ACTIVATE THEIR SPACE LASERS TO TURN THE EARTH INTO A SPHERE AND USE VACCINES TO RAISE CTHULHU FROM THE DEAD AND SNAP THE INFINITY GAUNTLET AND”

Left wing conspiracy theorists: “Ah shit we got proven right again.”

Don’t forget “internet activist” that just screams that the people getting bombed are being rude about it.

Zionist is a subset of Nazi

Apologies, I should have made it more clear that I was talking in general and not directed at you or this post specifically.

Judging people on the kind of food they like is literally the dumbest shit ever. You’re not the one eating it so why do you care?

My new baseless theory: We know that AI is trained on tons of novels and fictional stories. Is it possible that because all novels have significant conflicts and drama, and stories where some person just boringly does his boring job forever aren’t exactly bestsellers, the AI is maybe trying to inject drama even when it makes no sense, since it’s been conditioned that way through the training data? So it’s seeing these inconsequential issues and since every novel it’s ever “read” turns them into massive conflicts, it’s trying to follow suit?

In the same way your fridge needs a web browser.

Though the point of this is probably not that it will be a viable product, but managing a vending machine is one of those seemingly easy and straightforward tasks that make good starting applications to test the AI with. Basically, if it can’t even handle something as simple as a vending machine, it definitely can’t be trusted with anything more complex.

“You call yourself a beverage machine?!”

“I call myself Bev.”

Which might be understandable if they were lowly conscripted soldiers, but the ones that got into NATO were high ranking officers and other leaders in the Nazi party, many of whom architected the Holocaust.

It takes years and a ton of personal effort and commitmemt to climb the ranks of any military or party. Even if you did get conscripted, why did you keep going?

“Help I’m being forced to use my own cruelty and demonic propensity for making people suffer to organize a genocide after I spent years proving that I was the right person for the job! My only hope is if a peaceful, civilized, Western military alliance hires me once this ordeal that I’m in no way enjoying or benefiting from is over!”
