Well it’s running on cassette tapes. Computer systems as envisioned in the past really overestimated how easy it would be to implement some stuff, yet greatly underestimated how powerful the computers of today would be.

You realise that it is a statistical impossibility that there were absolutely no mistakes?

But now both SO and Google are shit…

That really cleared things up…

Goddamn I need to steal this

Oh yeah I’m not trying to accuse you of anything, don’t worry. Just throwing out some info a lot of people aren’t aware of to contribute to the conversation.

Bad assumption on my part. Anyway yeah. Just an FYI since you were recommending it as a security practice. I have actually contacted European companies and had them remove geoblocks in the past by pointing out they were (probably unknowingly) breaking the law.

Btw I’m not sure if you’re aware, but this behaviour (blocking based on geographic ip) is literally illegal in the EU. I’m aware it’s not applicable to you since you’re in the states, just an FYI.

As this is an NA based publication, “overseas” would likely be Europe, Africa, Asia, Oceania.

Unless they’re intending that their audience is only from the Americas, then no, overseas is based entirely on where their individual readers are.

Anyway, I feel like you may have misunderstood me a little. I’m not annoyed from a security perspective, I just found that to be superbly bad writing.

You do understand that ‘overseas’ means ‘anywhere not in my country’, correct? Not a few specific countries, but literally 90+% of the world, with the exact makeup of that 90% depending on where the company is.

Good news regarding your ‘vibe check detection’. Like so many other people, it’s no better than random guessing. Refer to the other comment with evidence these are images from real people.

Right? I configured my mobile keyboard to access them AFTER all the LLM stuff — prior to that I had never really paid attention to the fact it was different from hyphens.

Cybersecurity companies find resproxies challenging to tackle because the network traffic looks like it’s coming from an ordinary household, rather than a malicious hacker located overseas, as they might expect.

Ah, yes. Overseas, that wretched hive of scum and villainy, home of all malicious hackers and utterly devoid of any ordinary households.

The antivax idiots risked the lives of everybody around them, can’t say I have that much sympathy for them.

How many more abandoned tabs did they accumulate in those 4 months?

Let’s be honest, most sources online are not 100% accurate. Even before LLMs, find any random article about something you’re an expert in, and there was a good chance you’d spot some inaccuracies. Most of the time, those inaccuracies aren’t a big deal, and when they are, you should be consulting an expert for those.

For me personally, I would rate AI accuracy at about 75%. And for some of my use cases, that’s a pretty decent starting point. Things with no consequences, like trying to quickly find the relevant console command for the game I’m playing. I can get instant feedback on whether it gave me correct info, and if not then I hit Google.

I would never trust AI, at least in its current state, to tell me the truth for anything of consequence.

Yeah China’s VERY good at reverse engineering stuff and playing catch up. Haven’t really seen them take a clear lead in developing new technology in any field though.

Less mad, more statement of fact

Kinda assumed that. Who really thinks Linux usage DOUBLED worldwide in a month?

No low ball

Ironic considering what I’m getting
