This is really great. Wendover Productions made an excellent video about electrification of flights a while ago.

Now the real question is: will world governments allow this Chinese technology into their countries? Protectionism is a valid *public reason to deny it, but I wonder if denying Chinese tech under the guise of national security a last ditch attempt from big oil lobbyists?

Or is that too far fetched and I'm just way to cynical.

Valid *Public

Sorry, I think I chose the wrong word, I mean Public i.e., not conspiratorial.

I'd like to imagine the judge had to sit and watch the movie, then share his thoughts on the case. Its like a legal movie critic, but when he gives a 1 star review you go to jail lmao.

I know there's nuance, but still funny.

Microsoft in damage-control mode, says it will prioritize security over AI ( arstechnica.com )

Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority, President Brad Smith testified to Congress on Thursday, promising that security will be "more important even than the company’s work on artificial intelligence."...

Microsoft focused on security at this point is like a builder focusing on building strong foundations now that the house is built on top.

It's a little too late my dudes.

I think Windows 11 was supposed to be that clean break. They've reimplemented a lot of core functionality compared to XP & 7. If they're still getting breached then they obviously aren't serious about security.

Google often feels like a disorganized company with constantly shifting priorities, and a big reason behind that is the lack of top-down initiatives from the CEO. That means the real driving force behind most projects at Google are mid-level executives who show up with grand plans and then leave—either in disgrace or triumph—when those initial plans run their course.

Makes a lot of sense. There doesn't seem to be a unifying strategy behind anything google does. I also think theres a vicious circle going on here: google has a loyalty problem, which could be solved by long term thinking, usually done by loyal employees, but employees don't stick around long enough.

Oh that's interesting, I wasn't aware of this. Is it an unspoken policy? Or its an over reliance on "innovation first" pseudo-management?

Don't like your first statement, but agree with your second.

Image mode builds on the success of open source projects such as bootc

I always think its icky when companies advertise open source projects in their propriety closed source one.

RedHat source is accessible to registered red hat users. That is NOT open source. https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/furthering-evolution-centos-stream

I think a lot of memes are missing the main point of how it was caught, the exploit caused a spike in CPU usage for a network call. That made no sense to the guy Messiah who found/reported it. FOSS software's strength is the number of critical eyes looking over each line of code you put out!
