Whatever you think it does it certainly doesn’t get rid of SMTP, IMAP, RFC822, Quoted Printable and half a dozen other encodings only used in email, MIME/Multipart, email addresses that require 8000 character regular expressions to get anywhere close to validating the full spec, the ability to send mails to anyone by anyone or anything else I was talking about.

My point was more that we could get rid of the major downsides of email, namely the underspecified legacy technologies and the ability for anyone to send you one, for the vast majority of current applications.

Plus security is one of those if everything goes right “what are we paying you for” and if something goes wrong “what are we paying you for” parts of the business.

I keep wondering lately if email isn’t borderline useless for a lot of people anyway when it comes to communication with actual people (specifically outside of a business context).

Aren’t many of the legitimate emails we receive today from systems where we already have an account and could be replaced by some sort of system of web hooks with service specific auth tokens? Potentially the messages there could be partially machine readable too (e.g. JSON) since most fall into similar categories (invoices, delivery announcements, password resets, calendar invites and/or reminders, bank account or other payment provider transactions or transaction logs for entire months, notifications about direct messages or other events received on some web application or game,…). This might also make it easier to process these automatically (e.g. let the user tell the system to automatically save all bank statements to a specific hard drive folder instead of manually logging in to download them each month after a reminder mail).

TIL Cloudflare allowed unencrypted traffic to its API endpoints up to March 2025.

Also possibly basement access or similar things that work with all the apartment keys.

That is mainly so they don’t all get close enough to the broth at the same time to spoil it.

Thermite is supposed to work too for extreme cases.

I wasn’t so much thinking about use in games as just use in other software on the system that keeps running while the game is in use. The game can coordinate its own resource usage but independent software has a harder time with that.

One thing that might also require more memory in the future is to do both at the same time (keep LLMs loaded while gaming).

Wouldn’t that detection of VMs severely limit which Linux servers it can infect considering how many servers run virtualized?

The Index’s initial report provides first-of-its-kind data and analysis based on millions of anonymized conversations on Claude.ai, revealing the clearest picture yet of how AI is being incorporated into real-world tasks across the modern economy.

I feel this is a bad way to determine impact since from an AI conversation transcript’s point of view “excellent result, let me present that to my boss and clients” and “total horseshit, let me use something other than an LLM for this task” look essentially exactly the same.

Strangely enough officials of other stake holders never do anything preventative in this area.

It might make sense to have an admin panel for account related functionality, basically do these cars still exist or have they not checked in for three years at all. Maybe an owner reset in case of auctions of vehicles by a bank or something similar. But it certainly makes no sense that someone could have access to the functionality of the car itself without at the very least locking out the current owner (via that owner reset) and thus being very noticeable.

Especially since that recent game equipped them with guns.

Punishing the lower level employees should only really be implemented once all the anti-whistleblower legislation and people in government have been purged though otherwise you just put the employees who are asked to do questionable things between a rock and a hard place with no way not to get punished.

So what you are saying is that unless the next CEO assassin uses vehicle data to figure out where his target is it won’t happen?

As people have been saying for years, the S in IoT stands for security.

It is not so much that TP-Link is great, it is more that American brands like Cisco keep getting caught putting deliberate security holes like hardcoded credentials into their products every other year or so and yet they seem to never consider banning those.
