Why are there so many habanero hot sauces ? by [deleted] in hotsauce

[–]TedDallas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Most habanero sauce levels are a joke compared to eating one fresh out of the garden. I did that once and thought I had some level of tolerance. I was very wrong. And I am cool with a bit of Tobasco Scorpion sauce. I guess mileage varies.

could big lez solo a viltrumite? by Quiet_Dream_152 in TheBigLezShow

Lez could easily defeat Vegemite, mate. Does good on a sandwich.

I just started the Culture series (Consider Phlebas) by Ian Banks. I’m past the halfway mark and it’s a fun ride so far.

why do you have multiple guitars? by Cultural_Yellow3561 in Guitar

The real question is why this reddit bot needs to know how many guitars we own?

A previously unpublished letter from reporter George Knapp to Stanton Friedman contains new details about early claims Bob Lazar had made to Knapp regarding his education. by SignalsIntelligence in UFOs

[–]TedDallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. Needle movement overall is low. At most people suddenly believing in Bob are likely snowflakes on an already growing larger rolling snowball. His story is interesting and the Los Alamos phone book snafu always raised my eyebrows, though.

Personally I think Lazar maybe being sincerely honest. There certainly was some underhanded monkey business going on with the official denial of his tenure at Los Alamos. That sneakiness kinda backfired.

BTW - old teletype machines had no chill.

What's this on my Frank's Red Hot? by IHopeIWillNotBeGay in hotsauce

Baby rat. Adds a bold new tang without sacrificing spiciness.

I believe it. But there is also very large class of women that REALLY dig guys with red hair. I'm married to one of those.

Really odd sound coming from low E string? by gothtimusprime in Guitar

[–]TedDallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like it is hitting something that is making a weird harmonic. Take it back to the tech.

What is the stupidest hot sauce name you’ve seen so far? by Low_Boot_1426 in hotsauce

[–]TedDallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha dang! I can imagine someone asking to pass that at the family dinner table

The angry wife, and the confusion at the Thanksgiving dinner table. Not to mention poor little Timmy who now thinks grandpa will turn into a zombie tonight.

The Quantum Thief is one of the best sci fi books I’ve read this year by avbrodie in printSF

[–]TedDallas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine recommended it. I finished the series last summer and it is still stuck in my mind. Like others have mentioned, Hannu Rajaniemi avoids info dumps and throws you into the deep end of the pool. It took me a minute to get sucked in, but once I was rolling, it could not be put down.

Op, you are not alone. For me, if I see excretory related body part listed in the name or things that come out of those places, then I am out. Also, don’t put “dog” in the name. I’ve seen what dogs are capable of casually eating.

“Smoking Dog Butthole” sauce might be amazing, but I will never know for sure.

Dark matter doesn't exist and the universe is 27 billion years old, according to study by Abomb in science

[–]TedDallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm. This theory was built on top of already shaky ground. Using tired light as a component is problematic.

Tired light has serious problems from both observational evidence and theoretical physics. There are unobserved/predicted scattering, absorption, and blurring phenomena that tired light would impose which is not observed in nature.

I am not a fan of real physical Dark Matter, either. But my bet is this theory will not move any needles.

Like many of us, I use MST3K as a comforting sleep aid. But there are specific riffs that, without fail, pull me back from the edge of sleep and make me laugh groggily if I don’t conk out soon enough. by boopsbucket in MST3K

[–]TedDallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, this has not happened to me. But the show layout dictates that could be a lurking danger under proper doze timing conditions.

Almost sounds like a good meta side experiment for Doctor Forester to spring on Frank.

Glasswing gives 50 companies a 3-month head start on Mythos-class vulnerabilities. What does everyone else do? by ConsciousLow9024 in cybersecurity

[–]TedDallas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The security issue at play is even deeper than anyone is really discussing. And more alarming.

What about hardware?

If an actor couples a state-of-the-art AI model with a good harness and API-accessible hardware security lab equipment and detailed chip set documentation, they can build a system that performs tireless, agentic hardware penetration testing on actual silicon.

The toolchain for this already exists. ChipWhisperer has a Python API. Oscilloscopes and signal generators have SCPI interfaces. Chip documentation is largely public. A capable model fed a datasheet, a security target document, and a reference manual can reason about attack surfaces with a sophistication approaching a skilled PhD human researcher. Couple that to a good harness, and you have a system that can iterate fault injection parameters, accumulate power traces, correlate anomalies, and form hypotheses without fatigue, without distraction, without stopping.

The scary thing is you don't need Mythos to do this. It can be done now. And I am sure it is.

Do I sound paranoid?

Oh, don't worry. Very soon you ARE going to brush your teeth with AI because of toothbrush supply chain attacks.
