  1. #Nato 1.0 is dead. Long live Nato 2.0
    🧐"Starting w #JDVance's #antiEU tirade at last yr's #Munich conference, we hv had US air strikes on #Iran & 5 oth countries, te subjugation of #Venezuela, #American complicity in te #genocide in #Gaza, & above all, Trump's threats to invade #Greenland, which is part of #Denmark .. Curiously, Greenland was what tore it, & most Nato leaders now understand that #tRump's #America is at best an #unreliable ally & sometimes openly #hostile"

  2. NTP in practice. Mostly it works. Time to time it's like 8 hours off. Internet connection is working.

    I already debugged unreliable NTP once and replaced the unreliable "ntp" NTP daemon with much more reliable "chrony" NTP daemon. But still unreliable.

    "Old people don't like computers" - because computers are unreliable! Why would I use something that's unreliable? A tuning fork ground out of quartz, invented by Seiko, connected to a battery, semiconductor amplifier, 15-bit counter, few logic gates, stepper motor, cogwheels, hands and a clock face is much more reliable!

    We chose some because the president repeated them particularly often, some because they were about notably consequential topics, and some because they were especially egregious in their distance from reality":

  7. #ProjectNightfall: Everything we know about #UK's #ballistic #missiles program for #Ukraine

    It reflects move by the Western allies to move away from US equipment since #US has become very #unreliable #ally, & #Nightfall project is something UK also wants for its own forces

    If project unfolds as planned, it will provide boost to Ukraine’s deep strike abilities, along with its own #Sapsan missile

  8. The year is 2027. Email is #unreliable; little gets past #Gmail filters without a contract to receive your #email. #Governments don't stop it because (a) they have a contract, and (b) they don't understand how email works. Or worked.

    #Tech companies finally realize that #SS7 is #insecure. Phone calls and texts can't be #trusted. Machine-learning-generated ("AI") audio and video means video and voice calls are doubly cursed - too many #FAANG executives have had embarrassing public #failures, falling #victim to the corporate equivalent of the grandparent #scam.

    Few people use #TOTP, because the tech #companies don't promote it, they each call it something else and make it work differently, and they all want you to use their "app" rather than the standard 3-line script that can generate the correct code given a key and the current timestamp. The technically-minded try to educate their relatives and friends as part of the free-tech-support assumption, but no one cares.

    #Account #recovery now involves waiting at home to sign for an envelope delivered by the lowest-cost (and therefore bribe-able) courier to the #registered home address of the account. Millions each year lose their email, #photos, videos, "purchased" digital #content, password vaults, etc because they've moved since they set up the account, or they have a P.O. box and companies don't believe those #exist.

    The #internet is a vast digital #wasteland - wait, a saviour onstage: "Walled Garden-Net!".

    Burn it.

  13. 🚗💨 Welcome to the wild world of #UDP, where "unreliable" is just a fancy way of saying "convertible" because who doesn't want their #data packets feeling the breeze? 🌬️ Apparently, when it's raining data, you just slap on a roof and cross your fingers. 🤞 Because that's totally how reliability works, right? 😂

  20. Look, as we all know, he's going to keep doing this, he's a person of self-absorption & whim not of law or reliability. The best possible thing other countries can do right now is to find alternate trading partners for the same goods, so that they have a secure reliable supply that isn't at the whim of a madman/conman, and then drop the U.S. as a trading partner all together.

  21. Goldman Sachs: AI Is Overhyped, Wildly Expensive, and Unreliable

    Link
    📌Summary:
    Goldman Sachs, one of the largest investment banks in the world, published a research paper expressing doubts about the economic viability of generative AI. The paper notes that there is "little to show for" the huge spending on generative AI infrastructure and questions whether this spending will ever pay off in terms of AI benefits and returns. The paper suggests that AI optimism is driving large growth in stocks like Nvidia and other S&P 500 companies, but argues that the stock price gains are based on the assumption that generative AI will lead to higher productivity and efficiency. The paper also suggests that companies are acting like generative AI is going to change the world, but that the technology is currently deeply unreliable and may not change much of anything at all.

    🎯Key Points:
    - Goldman Sachs questions the economic viability of generative AI.
    - The bank notes that there is "little to show for" the huge spending on generative AI infrastructure and wonders whether it will ever pay off.
    - The paper is based on a series of interviews with Goldman Sachs economists and researchers, MIT professor Daron Acemoglu, and infrastructure experts.
    - Goldman Sachs argues that AI optimism is driving large growth in stocks like Nvidia and other S&P 500 companies.
    - The bank suggests that the stock price gains are based on the assumption that generative AI will lead to higher productivity and efficiency.
    - The paper argues that generative AI is currently deeply unreliable and may not change much of anything at all.
    - The bank expresses skepticism about both the cost of generative AI and its ultimate transformative potential.

  22. Stoltenberg would not discuss specifics, but said he hoped to have the new efforts approved in time for a July summit of #NATO ldrs in DC, where ofcls are expected to again debate when #Ukraine might be allowed to join the #military #alliance….

  23. “There is a need to give this a more robust & institutional framework to ensure #predictability & #commitment for the long haul,” Stoltenberg said. He added: “I strongly believe it’s important that #allies make decisions fast. And that includes, of course, the #UnitedStates.”

  24. Under a prop being discussed at the #military #alliance’s HQ, #NATO would oversee the #Ukraine #Defense Contact Grp, currently led by the #UnitedStates, that coordinates the donation & delivery of weapons to the battlefield.…

    “A stronger NATO role in coordinating & providing support is the way to end this #war in a way where Ukraine prevails,” SecGen Stoltenberg said on Wed.

#AI is like early #Wikipedia.
    
In the late 90s, Wikipedia for information was considered completely #unreliable, #unorthodox, and #unacceptable.
    
Now I find things in Wikipedia that are far beyond anything ever in #EncyclopediaBritannica. The #dataquality and #utility are high. I read it as a starting point, and then I read #sourcematerial when I need more detail.
    
What AI doesn’t provide YET is #references to its content. AI simply needs a good #editor.
