I guess if it were a choice between not citing prior work at all, or citing them even without reading the work, the latter would be preferable...

@Moderocky @SheriefFYI This feels like a form of plagiarism by itself 🤔

@SheriefFYI I only went to a local community college, and my papers were only published to the dustbin, but when I was citing things in them it was because I had the material I was referencing right in front of me...

The Supreme Court’s legitimacy depends on providing “Equal Justice Under Law,” as the courthouse says. When the Supreme Court rules one way when it hurts Democrats and another way when it helps Republicans, it’s not doing law — it’s doing raw power politics. Americans are rightly questioning why it deserves such power.

Supreme Court today: We'll allow Alabama Republicans to change the congressional map in the primary election even though absentee voting has literally already started Supreme Court last December: November's too late to strike down the GOP's map in TX's March primary election!!

@Fritschner It also says you can vote until the first Saturday after the election. But SCVA's ruling means that is now when the election ends. So by the same logic, the last election isn't over yet, because you can still vote!

@Fritschner I don't understand how it's even tenable. It says you can vote 45 days before an election. But SCVA says the election starts with early voting. By that logic, every future election has already started. Just a completely nonsensical ruling.

@VermithorBronze @aaronnarraph I think we'd probably be in a much better place if they always did so. Federalist papers are full of theory crafting the checks and balances to the benefit of the people. Instead we just have the institutions protecting themselves while the people suffer.

@Dontskylertalk I mean, the rulemaking clause seems pretty cut and dry, but I guess you can't put anything past this court.

Your air-gapped servers are covered by a faraday cage, you think you're safe from key exfiltration? You fool. Low-frequency magnetic fields pass right through Faraday cages. Researchers were able to extract data off an air-gapped shielded computer by spawning fake work loads

@zuhaitz_dev I'd still question LLM "clean room" implementations. Anthropic called their C compiler "clean room" but "somehow" it contained a partial duplicate of rustc's Apache-2.0 fxhash, which it "graciously" relicensed to CC0. And that was just the most glaringly obvious example.

The RF world is insane. Researchers recovered AES-128 keys from a Bluetooth chip by listening to its own antenna from 10 meters away. Crypto-engine switching noise couples into the RF chain, rides the 2.4 GHz carrier, and leaks out as radio.

@SanderSkjegstad @tomwarren (note: I'm not defending the >90ms time, moreso pointing out that 15ms is not instantaneous, and is what the lower bound would be for any third party app with zero resource usage prior to invocation)

@SanderSkjegstad @tomwarren It's presumably a new process that needs to be started, no? And if it wasn't, wouldn't we just be complaining about explorer.exe's bloat or wasted background resources, or that Windows doesn't allow replacing it, etc instead?
