Don’t underestimate Microsoft’s ability to write bloated software. Any sloppy developer really.

ChatGPT access to Apple Messages is dangerous and irresponsible

They are losing billions… of investor money.

This may include people investing in index funds, now that Musk’s Space/AI company is publicly listed. Maybe a piece of people’s pension fund as well, if NVIDIA’s wish comes true. https://fortune.com/2026/08/13/nvidia-wants-your-pension-fund-in-the-ai-trade/

The layman with money in index or pension fund probably don’t intend to invest in AI, but here we are.

TL;DR, they the removed diesel generators that disturbed and scared fishes away.

Using diesel generators in remote locations (or anywhere) is a bad idea. Replacing them with solar panels is common sense, and they finally got around to it.

That’s a good move, better late than never. That company didn’t have much foresight by installing and keeping generators for so long.

It might be possible to fool it.

More important, it’s normalizing use of facial recognition in everyday situations. This is a very invasive tech and prime for abuse by increasingly totalitarian governments.

I guess developers working on AWS are increasingly vibe coding.

Or maybe the invoices are accurate, and LLMs continue to increase memory and hosing cost for everyone.

I misread, sorry. Deleting comment.

I’ll avoid the window seat next time I have to fly.

@suriyan Are you a bot, or rely on automation to submit comments or posts?

If so, please honor Automation guidelines, including disclosure. https://legal.programming.dev/docs/automation-guidelines/

Scammers may not use this specific project yet, but do use tools like This with LLM integration. They absolutely will use an OSS tool if it’s good enough and cheap enough.

STIR/SHAKEN would help, but it would remain a game of cat and mouse. SPF/DKIM/… is widely deployed and enrorfced and yet spam email continue. There’s financial insentives to keep spamming one way or another.

LLMs enable spam call at a much larger scale with few to no human involved. They won’t quit nor blow the whistle on their shitty boss. LLMs are the least useful, most harmful kind of AI. It should be abandonned and/or regulated to death.

So that’s how spam bots are making tons of calls to sell their scams and harrass people.

I receive multiple calls everyday for the same scam despite being on a no-marketing list. The same AI agents are cycling through numbers to make themselves hard to block. Virturtally everyone I talk to got these calls, and increasingly avoid answering the phone.

It makes having a phone more annoying, less useful. Just like spam ruined emails.

[…] PuffPal, a platform that manages membership and age verification for cannabis retailers and clubs across Europe.

Get ready for many more leaks, as governments require identity and age verification everywhere online.

Many organisations, which cannot be trusted with this data, are going to be processing it.

That’d be ideal, and would affect adtech’s ability to track without consent. So that’s a good goal.

Requiring adtech to honor an automated signal would still be progress, hopefully reducing enshittification and making it easier to refuse tracking.

It would be an extra bit or 2 that could be included in fingerprint. IMHO it’s worth it if there’s regulation that makes it easier to go after companies that ignore those signals

Officials closed the reservoir indefinitely on June 5, 2026, after the declining water levels contributed to low oxygen levels—hypoxia—that killed virtually all of its fish.

Too late. Certainly, the dieout was predictible for water management experts and biologists. Did they not warn anyone? Or did officials not listen?

They’re requesting mostly wrong solutions for real problems.

Age verification doesn’t address social media’s problems, but does increase data collection and decrease privacy. Same for decrypting private messages.

A guardian account does seem reasonable.

They could also completely turn off user seach for minors, so they would have to add contacts by username or email, and couldn’t reach or be reached easily by online strangers.

Minors could circumvent this if there’s no age verification. But today’s age verification methods are neither privacy-friendly nor hard to circumvent. Until they are, it’s not worth requiring age verification.

Relying on a black box or stochastic AI would probably make this harder to certify and to get public acceptance.

My guess is that, if certified, this would have very niche uses. Basically would only be used where using sprinkler is not possible.

Debian trixie has a fix https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-31431

Ukraine’s defence ministry has fired a top commander after photos emerged of a group of emaciated soldiers who have been left on the frontline for months without proper food and water.

I’m sure that if Russian solders suffered similar problems, their government would totally held the commander accountable, and would absolutely not silence nor threaten their family.

And I guess engineers would be held responsible for the code produced by the AI agent’s they’re pressured to use.

So management can blame and fire more engineers when things go wrong.
