meow-floppy seems like small llms also can average write some exploitative code

More GPUs are being tested, and the official website claims 25 NVIDIA GPUs were tested, with only a few showing signs of vulnerability. However, two mitigations exist. Enabling IOMMU through the BIOS closes the primary attack path by restricting which memory regions the GPU can access on the host system. This technology handles the translation of device-visible virtual addresses to physical host memory addresses and can completely fence off sensitive memory from peripheral devices. Another option is activating Error Correcting Codes on the GPU, which NVIDIA exposes through a command-line setting. However, enabling it reduces the pool of usable GPU memory and adds processing overhead, resulting in a performance penalty. Interestingly, no GPU with GDDR6X and GDDR7 memory is vulnerable, as the exploit only works with GDDR6.

 

As of March, Linux-based operating systems were running Steam on 5.33% of all polled systems. This represents an impressive 3.10% increase over February's data, which showed a dip in Linux market share from January's 3.5%.

seems very weird that it jumped that much in two months, i would not trust it blindly for now

With a 24.48% share, the use of SteamOS grew by 0.65% last month alone

that's nice though, it's not only valve thingy growing

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency operates a network of 170 unofficial detention sites around the country, called “hold rooms,” according to agency data obtained via the Freedom of Information Act. Located in warehouses, strip malls, office parks, and ICE substations, the facilities are held to different standards than the agency’s official detention facilities. They are not permitted to contain beds, and are not required to contain toilets. Though agency policy limits the time a detainee can be kept in a hold room to 72 hours, federal data show thousands of violations of that rule, including many stays lasting weeks or months at a time.

 

This dynamic is reflected in a new a YouGov poll fielded by ReThink Media from February 2026 that shows 25% of Americans believe the patently false claim that Iran currently possesses nuclear weapons and 45% believe the also false, but slightly more subjective, claim that Iran has an active nuclear weapons program (“Iran does not have nuclear weapons but is working toward developing them,” as the poll question puts it). The annual threat assessment published in March 2025 by the US Director of National Intelligence clearly stated: “We continue to assess Iran is not building a nuclear weapon and that [Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei has not reauthorized the nuclear weapons program he suspended in 2003.” A finding affirmed it again just this week. Thus, only 5% of Americans agree with the consensus of the US intelligence community that Iran neither has nuclear weapons nor an active nuclear weapons program.

For me, the kinda unanswerable question is, should i bother to explain to some zog chud skeptical of entity the reasoning and wrongness of occupied theory, and have them go oh, that’s good then

why? people doing the correct thing for capital can believe whatever they want, they can believe they are building jesus, they can believe they are building rapture, they can think they are bringing democracy, it's precisely in those obfuscations lies the power of murican propaganda. same for porkies obscuring exploitation with 50 theories of markets, money etc, pick your theory any theory

some officials are dum-dums about capital own propaganda, they believe in it for some reason. oil execs and some business people are quite open about that real reason

functionally they stole oil from usa enemy until that enemy collapse, but with leftist aesthetics and then were inevitably betrayed. Now whether some autonomy and woman fighting for that project was worth it jordanification of syria and likely civil war in iran via air tunnel they now provide for entity? opinions differ on vision.

obviously on the tactical scale/the ground they were better than whatever the alternatives were at the time of appearance, and they didn't appear out of cia, but rather fighting isis and some pkk elements (thus leftist flair), but then again, western tourists have gone to fight for them, and they haven't gone to fight for hezbolah. Basically secular fighting force turned into useful idiots turned into malicious actors.

as somewhat ai curious person, in my experience, with at least small local llm (40-80b) they are absolutely shit at working with large texts, at best they can make a passable summary, contradictory information is ignored (if it's in two documents), document citations are pulled from the ass 1/3rd of the time (and the pulled info is equally dodgy, if it's pass/fail type on exactness), is copilot better than this?

wealth is power, if your wealth increases you buy more businesses, control more people, exert more power over politicians. in the most basic way, their pocket change can afford to hire like 10k mercenaries to do stuff, if you are multimillionaire you can afford like one dude (or more likely pay kidnapping insurance) and you have to think about it.

somewhat close (they basically measure shedding, although mainly about speed of drum importance (seems like both fixed fast rotation or very slow are better), but it doesn't seem there is dramatic increase over cycles (the first is the worst, evidently, see fig 5), but they don't do 100 cycles, you can search around in theirs citations for more info probably.
