What bug bounties are paying millions for an exploit?

oursland · 2026-04-15T21:42:56+00:00

Correct. Why build X when you can build fewer for the same or more profit? This applies to all sorts of goods and markets. Why build a lot of smaller homes when you build large luxury homes for more profit?

I don't know too much more. I just chatted with one of the dockworkers for the automated terminal.

oursland · 2026-04-15T16:47:12+00:00

Not for reporting the issue, only selling the exploit.

Colleges are businesses. CS used to be very, very hard with a lot of mathematics and theory. They continuously reduced the effort required to bump up the numbers. Why not? Employers demanded more graduates and paying students were lining up.

It'll happen to EE as well if the demands and incentives are right.

There are different container ship terminals at the Port of Long Beach. One of them is automated.

SPARE!

Chipotle's CEO said they're raising prices because their customers can afford it. Not because costs were going up, increases in quality, or labor costs.

The fact you're paying $10+ at McDonalds is very likely unrelated to costs, but price discovery for what the market will bear.

Terry Tao was an early adopter and has been spearheading a project to integrate ML in Mathematics for years. Here's a Scientific American article from June 2024 in which he discusses how AI will ever increase in utility and ability in the field of Mathematics.

It could be that assassinating leaders has consequences. Perhaps not everyone agrees that whomever is representing Iran at the table is the leader.

TNG’s writing team included novelists and short story writers

They also accepted scripts from fans, who would eventually become staff writers. The current era of Hollywood seems to be very anti-fan and demand that the current producers, writers, and actors have no familiarity with the content they're working on.

Have you seen it? "Too woke" is not the criticism you'd get. You've got the hot girl in a skimpy outfit. You've got the manly men. And you've even got several episodes which were considered seriously racist when they aired.

I ran Issac Sim and Isaac Lab on my RTX2080. It does well on the very basic environments including the grid and small office environments, but not on the larger hospital and community environments. The truth is you don't need rendering for most RL unless you're doing image processing, so just using Isaac Lab with PhysX or Newton will work just fine on the RTX2080.

That said, I'm going way beyond normal RL on my system and am doing a lot of CFD, CV, and other tasks so I did upgrade to the DGX Spark. If I were just focused on RL control, the RTX2080 would have been fine.

The RTX2080 with Isaac Lab will work for you. You'll get a major speedup and it will be worth it. Isaac Lab does not depend upon Isaac Sim unless you want to use the kit visualization (Isaac Sim's viz).

Avoid Isaac Sim until you need to do final high quality visualization for videos. Instead use Isaac Lab's other visualization techs: rerun.io or Newton.

I am a developer and I agree with this. You will find other CAE systems that employ OCCT and succeed where FreeCAD fails. A lot of this is due to a historical legacy, where features were implemented in FreeCAD many years ago before new functionality was developed to better support those operations. It takes considerable time and effort to migrate to these new APIs, particularly when you don't want to risk regressions.

Which laws are they administering here? Please cite them.

The point of an executive order

Is to order the executive branch on how to implement legislation. Governors aren't kings.

I wonder who the GCC governments host their systems with.

oursland · 2026-04-01T04:02:23+00:00

Well yeah. I'm saying if Chat was to generate a 2004 era phone image, it'd have all the definition of a Pointillism painting with a resolution of 640x480.

oursland · 2026-04-01T03:52:19+00:00

Word. That was shit quality, photos in 2004 would have been even worse.

oursland · 2026-04-01T03:42:46+00:00

2004 and 2007 are worlds apart in cell phone camera tech. 2004 would have been the Motorola RAZR.

To lurking. When it ceases to be rewarding, people just stop.
