• Despite sanctions, Russia adapts by engaging with strategic partners like China to circumvent restrictions.

• China has replaced Western nations as a major supplier of goods to Russia, with trade between the two reaching $240 billion in 2023. In 2021, the total trade between the two countries was approximately $147 billion.

• Specific exports from China to Russia include CNC machines, semiconductors, microelectronics, ball bearings, nitrocellulose, drones, and construction equipment.

• The Sino-Russian relationship has deepened, with both nations criticizing the U.S. and increasing their cooperation.

Bottom line: China don’t care. But we knew this already.

Iranian cyber actors’ use of brute force and other techniques to compromise organizations across multiple critical infrastructure sectors, including the healthcare and public health (HPH), government, information technology, engineering, and energy sectors.

It seems they’ve abstracted the term “critical infrastructure” to refer to the organizations that perform critical functions within society, not necessarily the networks running nuclear power plants.

But also, commercial entities don’t exactly have access to NSA encryptors… so your alternative is to disconnect everything. And that’s not feasible.

Does he mean she was on a mission in a different way than he was, with all of Fox’s dubious assertions inextricably tied to each of his questions?

This headline is terrible. I have nothing good to say about the police either.

Dunk your computer in water first, then the rice will have more effect.

Dead meet. Heh.

Perfect timing for my new year of cheap sirius radio. I honestly never signed up for a promo before because I knew how difficult canceling was.

Okay, which one is missing?

Summary: In 2022, Carolina Figueiredo discovered collisions involving three different subatomic particles produced identical outcomes, suggesting a hidden connection between seemingly unrelated particle theories. This finding supports the idea that space-time and quantum mechanics are approximations of deeper, abstract principles. Her advisor, Nima Arkani-Hamed, had previously discovered a geometric object called the “amplituhedron,” but Figueiredo’s discovery points to a new method, “surfaceology,” which simplifies particle interactions without relying on traditional Feynman diagrams.

The traditional way of understanding particle collisions uses Feynman diagrams to track all possible particle paths, which is mathematically intensive. Surfaceology offers a more efficient and direct way to arrive at the same predictions without needing to track these countless possibilities, allowing physicists to see the results of collisions more clearly and directly.

Surfaceology may eventually bypass the need for space-time as a fundamental concept in physics. This hints at a potential new understanding of quantum gravity and the origins of the universe, and echoes past revolutionary changes in physics.

SovCit requests support from US institutions after mistaken belief that labeling oneself as a SovCit is a get out of payment free card.

“Forcefield!”

I thought it was a slice of pie.

Lol, paypal now has an option to store your SSN and passport info. What a scam.

I don’t think it’s hilarious. I think he got his name in the news again, and here we are talking about him.

*sigh

Well, the Boeing accountability chief position was subcontracted out - on a pro-bono basis no less. So all-in-all, not a bad gig I think.

I’d like to get paid to golf.

But you did.

1. You quantified 150TB as a “fucktonne” of important data. I’m assuming metric fucktonne here.
2. You specified a lot in relation to a few tens of thousand (i.e. at least 30,000) times what you have on your PC
3. 1 fucktonne > a lot

150 TB / 30,000 = 5 GB

There is more involved in the formal proof, but I think that’s a good summary of the facts.

That seems like a top ten “nope” job to me. Props to anyone choosing to stay in such a position.

Seems like its got a few pre-programmed moves and is backed by an LLM which has the ability to both answer and trigger said moves.

Or a mechanism ripe for abuse of power.

You only have 5 GB on your PC? How do you survive?
