Meanwhile my Pixel 2 is still rocking after 7 years of daily use.
my pixel 2 is still rocking too, what an amazing device! (although it now I only use it for flappy bird..)
Highly disappointed that Google stopped updates a long time ago.

A lot of 1990s tech optimists thought that people with awful opinions were the unfortunate victims of a lack of access to books and education; and the strict gatekeeping of broadcast media by the powerful.
This new multi-media technology was going to give everyone on the planet access to a complete free university education, thousands of books, and would prevent the likes of Chinese state-run media suppressing knowledge about Tienanmen Square.
And after they receive this marvellous free education, all the communists and nazis and religious nutjobs will realise they were wrong and we were right. We won't need any censorship though, in our enlightenment-style marketplace of ideas, rational argument is all that's needed to send bad ideas packing, and the educated audience will have no trouble seeing through fallacies and trickery.
Also the greater education will mean everyone can get better jobs and make more money, and with this trade with China we're just ramping up they'll see our brilliant democratic system, and peacefully adopt it. The recently fallen Soviet Union is of course going to do the same, and it's going to go really well. We'll all live happily ever after.
This Bill Clinton chap has a federal budget surplus, now we're not spending all that money on the cold war, so we'll get that national debt paid off in no time too.
You may be able to figure out why this particular brand of optimism isn't so fashionable these days.
were you one of those believers at the start?

Length of time from end of WWI (the war to end all wars, remember) to start of WWII (the next war) was 20 years and 9 months. To quote the late Tom Lehrer, “we taught them a lesson in 1918 and they’ve hardly bothered us since then”.
Length of time from the end of WWII (ending with two ideological opponents, victors who saw the fruits of victory, a ramped up industrial base focused on armaments and a devastated landscape of Europe and Asia to fight on) to WWIII is 79 years, 10 months and counting. No one reading this site has experienced a World War (and if you did, I’d like to shake your hand). Whatever keeps that counter ticking over have been, and are, dollars well-spent.
A bit like keeping your hand raised to keep elephants away from your US house (well, it’s worked so far). But the alternative is just…unacceptable.
another perspective is that WW1 hasn't ended, and ww2 was actually WW1. Even now, if you look at the Ukrainian conflict from an economic perspective, it's a continuation of the same conflicts of ww1

Jupiter and Saturn moons always make inspiring hostnames. Right now, I have Callisto, Europa, and Ganymede. Ganymede has the most powerful setup. Yesterday, I decommissioned Io.

Last night I spent hours fighting o3.
I never made a Dockerfile in my life, so I thought it would be faster just getting o3 to point to the GitHub repo and let it figure out, rather than me reading the docs and building it myself.
I spent hours debugging the file it gave me... It kept on adding hallucinations for things that didn't exist, and removing/rewriting other parts, and other big mistakes like understanding the difference between python3 and python and the intricacies with that.
Finally I gave up and Googled some docs instead. Fixed my file in minutes and was able to jump into the container and debug the rest of the issues. AI is great, but it's not a tool to end all. You still need someone who is awake at the wheel.

> could give the attacker shell access.
How do these exploits work? Does it open an SSH port somewhere or does it show up as a browser-based terminal?
most likely "shell access" was confused with execution of "shellcode" which is a type of code, typically bytecode, that gets injected by the hacker and the server gets tricked into executing it. Once it's executed, it can do anything, leave new files, open ports, disable firewalls, change the admin password, etc
What are some examples of applications people are running that:
1. Require 20TB of bandwidth / month
2. That bandwidth can't be shielded by Cloudflare and others?
Is it like... real time video streaming? Gaming servers? I can't imagine a web app getting anywhere close to that.
I run a mid sized NFT art creation website that generates both images and GIF's (https://mintables.club) and with over 100000 users at peak, it only needed about 1.5TB of bandwidth.

That is my experience too. In my neighborhood, by 8pm, the streets are crawling with drunk salarymen (and women) stumbling out of izakayas on their way to a snack and/or karaoke -- 5 days per week. They clearly werent working overtime with how often I see them.
the nomikai is part of the work, where the social status is being reinforced (pouring drinks while deeply bowing to the boss, getting forced to drink, the speeches, the clapping, etc)
