- The formatting strikes again!
- Where?

Backslash escapes formatting

Sure, in a world where the big boys have Death Stars.

You said so yourself, everyone has a ton of those.

Darrell is firing an ICBM at a place that is being hit with hypersonic hydrogen bombs all the time. Either he's hitting rubble, or a damn impressive defense that he's unlikely to break.

With how popular huge SUVs seem to be, that would be a very unpopular measure. Then you also have the car manufacturer lobbies squeezing your balls if you try to pass something like that.

I'd like a middle ground where these cars have much higher insurance premiums and are heavily taxed in proportion to their space usage.

Want to drive around in a car that weighs 3x my city car, then you need to pay 3x as more.

Well you might have to bite your neighbour if they challenge your claim.

You'd have to pick one up from a comrade that, uh, embraced pacifism? That's grim AF.

Could still be tomorrow, you never know...

I was gonna comment this.

I'm really glad you guys decided to stick around, and welcome to the club where everyone has zero clue about what to do but tries not to stress too much about it...

[–] ByteJunk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Exactly. If you go through 100 tickets and find 5 real vulnerabilities to patch, that sounds incredibly good...

Meh. When you're expecting to have to defend against an army battalion, how much of a thread is Darrell the flat-earther and his AR-15?

Because if Darrell is doing damage, you've been conquered and didn't even noticed.

Edit: in case you're not following the thread and feel an urge in your loins to come defend Darrell, do note that I'm not disparaging the issues a dimwit with AI can cause. I'm pointing out that other players will have even larger sticks than your friend Darrell.

Case in point, Darrell will not have Claude Fable. Others will.

If 5% of the reports are genuine security vulnerabilities that they wouldn't have found otherwise, that's looking like a big win to me, not sure how you see it differently.

Yeah, but an LLM's arms race isn't "doing the bare minimum in security", which is what the poster before was saying.

This is a genuine concern, where whoever has access to the best/most recent/most expensive models can unleash chaos - I'm talking state-sponsored attacks, mega-corp espionage, bored billionaires,...

 

Just saw the post about Helsinki opening several bridges for a similar purpose, so thought I'd share this here as well.

Porto Metro system didn't exist until around 20 years ago. Just last year, it carried more than 90 million people, and it's not stopping.

While traffic in Porto has actually gotten worse, as tourism and building rehabilitation have exploded, the investment in the metro continues.

This bridge is part of the new "Ruby line", and will provide another much needed way of crossing the Douro river, and will be exclusively used by pedestrians and cyclists, along with the metro.

This line is great because it will connect the other existing lines to a university campus and a large shopping center, while serving a fairly high density area where the residents mostly work in Porto, and have to commute daily.

 

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to control a "dumb" led light strip segment with an ESP-01S. This is fairly low current, the strip will pull 150mA-200mA max (depends on... artistic? needs).

I have two NPN transistors (2N2222), one to control the 12V supply to the white "channel" and the other the red+blue (don't need the green).

I had to pull-down the gates as I had some flickering, and it works perfectly if I manually connect the GPIOs after the ESP-01S boots.

The ESP will boot if I have the RX pin (GPIO03) pulled down on boot, but not if I pull down any of the others.

I'm not smart enough to come up with a way to have that extra pin I need to be high only during boot, while the gate it's attached to needs to be pulled down...

Any thought, other than getting something with more IO pins?
