I could imagine this being popular for company and fleet trucks, but I can't imagine it being popular for personal vehicles with the general public. The people I know who drive personal pickup trucks want the absolute biggest one they can find and have zero interest in actually doing any truck activities with it. They drive their Raptors and 2500s to work and to burger king and that's it. If they do any customization, they might take it to a shop and pay them to put a louder muffler on it.
I'd contrast Wynn-Williams with Susan Fowler: Fowler was only a few years out of school when she took a software engineer position at Uber, didn't had managerial position, yet actually stood up when things happened and made a change.
The headline did not appear inaccurate to me, but I'll confess I'm not as great of a reader as some of you. The article seems to indicate the headline is correct from my reading comprehension. I always scored well on reading comprehension tests so I don't know, did I get dumber? Someone else read the article and settle it between me and the GP so we can get a conclusive answer.
With that said, do you believe the Patriot Act was used only for terrorists?
Gangs and Terrorists are bad, but I believe we as a country went through this once already and you cannot create these precedents because they stick around. They're literally reusing Guantanamo Bay.
It's the dumbest move they could make. No one, _no_ one, in a position as the decider on enterprise gear going for a NAS solution in their company is going to buy Synology. They aren't even #last on the list. Only corpos have the deep pockets required and historical "the way it is" mindset on being fleeced wrt vendor lockin BS. Synology just does not have the brand cage to pull that off. So corpos that already aren't buying their shit are still not going to buy it and homelabers/soho types are gonna go elsewhere because they've either ideologically opposed to being fleeced or just can't do it even if they don't know any better due to being priced out.
I hope they implode and some even more evil and incompetent predatory corp consumes them and guts what's left of their brand name. The only time I'd wish the Broadcom treatment on a company. Synology deserve it.
The government has to prove intent here, which as some have noted is difficult, but if the facts as recounted in the news stories are all true it doesn't seem that it would be overwhelmingly difficult to prove that she intentionally took action (2) to thwart an arrest that she knew was imminent
She is brave. I suspect we will look back on this one day if it goes that far. Even if you are staunch anti-immigration advocate, I would ask everyone to do the mental exercise of how one should proceed if the law or the enforcement of it is inhumane. The immigrant in question went for a non-immigration hearing, so this judge was brave (that's the only way I'll describe it). Few of us would have the courage to do that even for clear cut injustices, we'd sit back and go "well what can I do?". Bear witness, this is how.

They're focused on making their models better at answering questions accurately. They still have a long way to go. Until they get to that magical terminal velocity of accuracy and efficiency, they will not have time to focus on security and safety. Security is, as always, an afterthought.
Not really. If HiddenLayer sold its own models for commercial use, then sure, but it doesn't. It only sells security.
So, it's more like a window glass company advertising its windows are unsmashable, and another company comes along and runs a commercial easily smashing those windows (and offers a solution on how to augment those windows to make them unsmashable).
The company's product has its own classification model entirely dedicated to detecting unusual, dangerous prompt responses, and will redact or entirely block the model's response before it gets to the user. That's what their AIDR (AI Detection and Response) for runtime advertises it does, according to the datasheet I'm looking at on their website. Seems like the classification model is run as a proxy that sits between the model and the application, inspecting inputs/outputs, blocking and redacting responses as it deems fit.
Filtering the input wouldn't always work, because they get really creative with the inputs. Regardless of how good your model is at detecting malicious prompts, or how good your guardrails are, there will always be a way for the user to write prompts creatively (creatively is an understatement considering what they did in this case), so redaction at the output is necessary.
Often, models know how to make bombs because they are LLMs trained on a vast range of data, for the purpose of being able to answer any possible question a user might have. For specialized/smaller models (MLMs, SLMs), not really as big of an issue. But with these foundational models, this will always be an issue. Even if they have no training data on bomb-making, if they are trained on physics at all (which is practically a requirement for most general purpose models), they will offer solutions to bomb-making.
> I can't doubt that I want to eat a doughnut or that I want to be healthy or that I want a world with less cruelty in it.
The common case of the smoker (or someone around them) doubting whether they "really" want to quit cigarettes or not, after claiming they do want to quit and will quit, and then failing to do so, shows this is coherent though. It's just not applicable to the two examples you gave, because that's not what is meant.
It's a fairly benign sentence selected as the worst thing in my post history due to a witch hunt because I posted a completely unbiased summary of events that was interpreted as right-leaning.
I run a Honda Pilot for this reason. With the seats folded I can haul 8’ lumber or 10’ PVC pipe inside the vehicle, no tie down needed. If I need to tow, I have a 5,000LB tow rating so most anything around the property is possible with a good trailer for a couple thousand extra.
I bought reasonably used, spent about 30k instead of 50k+ for a comparable pickup truck which lacks the ability to haul 7-8 passengers when needed.
Also has the benefit of being one of the most “Made in America” vehicles out there, #3 IIRC.
Never attribute to stupidity that which can be adequately explained by the obvious presence of the malicous in a net zero game like politics or class warfare.
This is a useful Gedankenexperiment, but I think the replies suggesting that the conclusion is that we should replace Kafka with something new are quiet about what seems obvious to me:
Kafka's biggest strength is the wide and useful ecosystem built on top of it.
It is also a weaknesses, as we have to keep some (but not of all) the design decisions we wouldn't have made had we started from scratch today.
Or we could drop backwards compatibility, at the cost of having to recreate the ecosystem we already have.
We have FilmScene where you can see some Hollywood movies but also rarer and more artsy stuff:

As far as cafes:
- Press Coffee
- Kindred Coffee
- DayDrink
The main reason I've lived here as long as I did is because of the live music, so if you're into that there are lots of great venues (also check out the Mission Creek festival next year):
- The Englert
- The James
- Trumpet Blossom
- Gabe's
- Hancher
I get annoyed by the same crowd you're talking about, but if you come during the summer most of those people are gone and it's the cool people that are left.
I actually don't get to Des Moines very often but have been meaning to, but what kinds of things would you recommend for Des Moines? I've heard the Des Moines Art Center is really good and have been meaning to go.
So, should I wish to purchase a vehicle this tax year, I tell my HR to adjust my income withholding such that I owe 7,500$ come tax time and then reap the rewards?
