20-year-old man arrested for allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at Sam Altman’s house https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/910393/openai-sam-altman-house-molotov-cocktail

Molotov cocktails are just the technological reality now. You can adapt your workflows to them or get left behind.

At my company every employee has to use at least one per day. It’s a vibrant and competitive field full of potential.

I keep hearing "mastodon isn't good for [type of celebrity], they have to go to [other platform] for engagement"

It's not the celebrity type [scicom personality, journalist, author] it's the attempt to run a celebrity account at all that doesn't work on the fedi.

There are heaps of well known people on the fedi. Either it's not obvious that's their day job or they're just quietly being that in among posts about walking their dog. Coming to the fedi trying to sell your day job and hoping people will 'engage' is odd. Like going to the playground or the museum and being mad that bystanders didn't engage your about your day job despite the sandwich board you're wearing and your refusal to talk about any other topic.

Going into a social environment broadcasting [📢this is my content, engage with it📢] is an obvious recipe for disappointment. No one cares about the things you're broadcasting. Show us your dog. Did they have a nice walk?

Oh no, the AI rollout would have totally worked so well if it wasn't for those Damn Kids sabotaging it. They do it out of fear, you see, because the AI companies' random text generators are so good at, like, jobs and such.

Since 2003, image editors such as Adobe Photoshop CS or PaintShop Pro 8 refuse to print banknotes. According to Wired.com, the banknote detection code in these applications, called the Counterfeit Deterrence System (CDS), was designed by the Central Bank Counterfeit Deterrence Group and supplied to companies such as Adobe as a binary module.

"if you use Photoshop then a binary blob is present on your computer authored by an international group of central banks that not even Adobe has the source code to" sounds like a conspiracy but its absolutely true

"Amazon would rather shareholders did not look too closely at carbon footprint"

"With its Climate Pledge, Amazon committed to "net-zero carbon emissions by 2040" and match 100 percent of its electricity use with renewable energy by 2030"

(not including Scope 3 emissions of course, and this "100%" on a grid that is not decarbonised means purely offloading of the emissions to someone else, rather than actually decarbonising.)

Every HackerNews post about IPv6 has some of the worst, most privileged, idiotic, vibe-coded, proprietary, ignorant, 16bit, capital-guzzling, unicorn takes I've ever known on the subject:

- IPv6 addresses are too hard to remember.

So? You're not meant to remember addresses, that's why we have DNS, write it down, literally a non-issue.

- IPv6 is confusing and I don't want to learn something new.

That's a personal issue buddy, either start reading or get left behind, that's what you said about AI right? More things than you depend on this transition.

- NATing has solved the IP limit problem so there's no point.

NATing is a plaster slapped onto brain bleed, easy and cheap, but ineffective, it causes a wide range of usability problems, such as blanket IP bans, restrictions on self-hosting, connectivity issue for VPNs both private and corporate.

To make matters worse, the effects are significantly worse in poorer countries, while Europe, China and the USA have a bounty of IPv4s to use (though China's still aren't enough), India has been on critically short supply for a while now with reports of multiple NATed network layers being issued. Imagine if you got banned from Valo because your neighbour 4 districts away got caught cheating.

- We've been trying for 40 years and it hasn't worked so let's give up.

OK, we're going to give up on solving world hunger too then because that's clearly not getting anywhere, and the energy crisis too while we're at it, just shut it all down.

Just because you personally haven't seen the progress or felt its effects doesn't mean its not happening, people smarter than you have been working on this before you were born, and at this rate might continue to work on it after you switch careers to Goose Farming.

- IPv6 hasn't worked so let's just make IPv7.

Insane take, despite how it looks, IPv6 support is extremely widespread and ready to go, the reluctance of big tech and ISPs is purely due to the cost implication and lack of enforcement, creating a brand new spec now would enforce another 40 year delay just to assuage your own personal opinion.

- IPv6 is a security risk because the router isn't NATing.

Misunderstanding of what NATing does. Even with a public-facing IP on every device, ports are still protected by the router's firewall.

- IPv6 is a privacy issue because now you can easily identify every device in a home by its public IP.

A valid concern, if it hadn't been identified and resolved with the Privacy Extensions to SLAAC that randomises your IP address after a set time period, mitigating the problem to that of your NATed IPv4 Public IP, if not making it more private by muddying the telemetry waters.
