Dan Kaminsky once said I know how computers work.
@simonzerafa @dpk Depends on the variant of A14/M1. The M1 in the MacBook Air, early MacBook Pros, Mac mini, and iMac is 4p4e7g or 4p4e8g.
The A18/M4 in the MacBook Neo is 2p4e5g, but with much newer performance cores. It beats the base M1 in single-core, multi-core, and Metal performance. The M1 Pro beats it in everything but single-core performance.
@blogdiva These are the terms of use for individuals using Copilot. They presumably have a different ToS for corporate use, but I haven’t personally seen it.
@datarama @Sphinx_Pouet @noodlemaz Worth noting, though, that these are the Copilot *for individuals* terms of use. I haven’t been able to find a similar document governing Microsoft’s liability for using Copilot for work, and I’d love to get one.
@sigismundninja @GossiTheDog Oracle’s database product was good enough when it was introduced, and it got deeply entrenched in some really big companies (think on par with banks’ use of COBOL). They made a lot of money, which they used to expand, buying up other companies which make deeply entrenched stuff, like Sun with Solaris.
They make money mostly through literal extortion now. The companies which still depend on them are basically a captive market, so they have to pay whatever Oracle charges. The alternative is a total rewrite of core business systems which would cost several times as much as Oracle wants, and which would take years to get to a usable state (well beyond executives’ planning horizon).
@joonq @GossiTheDog There was a thread recently explaining it as a capital strike:

That's part of what makes a capital strike non-obvious, if you don't already know what it looks like. It's not just sitting on the money and refusing to spend it. Because that's the one thing you literally can't do with capital. If you leave those resources idle, especially labor, it just goes and does its own thing. You lose control over it. If you just fire everyone, they eventually start working for themselves. So, to conduct a capital strike, you have to direct the capital toward useless things. Or actually destructive things, if you can manage it. And thus, AI had "basically zero" effect on the GDP. Because it's economically worthless activity for the purpose of keeping all the resources occupied so they can't be put to any other use.
@reverseics Best when it happens at the same time as password “expiration” day. You “get to” find out which systems are no longer synchronizing passwords properly.
I’m up to six different versions of my non-admin password I have to track for different systems with broken sync.
@hyc @oxyhyxo The authorized_keys file for a user is stored in that user’s home directory by default, and the home directory isn’t decrypted and mounted until after the user successfully authenticates. I can see a few ways it could be made to work, but all would take non-trivial changes to how key-based SSH authentication currently works (e.g, moving user keys to /etc/ssh/userKeys/<username>/authorized_keys, and using agent forwarding to get the user’s private key to decrypt an escrowed ZFS key).
@gracie @Em0nM4stodon The point is that a lot of companies involved in transactions today sell information about the transactions they process to hundreds of companies unrelated to the transactions. This started as a way to slightly cut the fees charged to merchants so as to undercut competitors, but now it’s just a common business practice.
Full anonymity would be nice, but it’s possible to be better than the nightmare we have today without it.
