Even the briefest of searches on this Magika tool reveals that it's primary use case is for detecting malicious files that might have content contrary to its filename.

This Lunduke "Journal" feed is full of terrible takes.

That's not the story people want to hear. Sub editors know they have to write headlines that will get attention. Old fashioned click bait really.

I don't think the designers of vs code have gotten their heads around the concept of "permanently"

Probably should cap it at $3m (indexed) full stop. People with balances above that level don't need help saving for their retirement.

Why do centre-left politicians post on X? Under both these tweets there are nothing but hate filled negative replies from MAGAs and (probably) bots. Why try to push positive messages into that environment?

Absolutely, and thats the basis to attack it. And the hearsay ... "a friend of Elon's friend says the hospital is getting ripped off" I mean who takes that seriously?

Not a great example - that post is a commentary on corruption rather than the street cost of bread. It can be simultaneously true that a health authority enters into a corrupt agreement and that the local cost of bread is <$1

Am I correct in thinking that the AI has to read all that before it even starts on my input?

I do hope they do a better job of explaining and justifying their compromises though. Eg. on gambling ads, I am yet to hear an explanation for their timidity that satisfies me.

I think they are going to cement themselves in the centre. Albo has said he wants Labor to be the natural party of govt, which up until now has unfortunately been the Coalition.

That is for sure going to leave some people feeling let down on many issues.

Democracy requires pragmatic comprimise.

Google age ID proposal may not suit Australia’s under-16 social media ban, expert says Proposed system of storing passports or drivers licences in Google Wallet app likely to benefit adults, but usefulness in identifying teenagers without ID documents unclear

β€œThe bill aims to protect children under 16, but Google Wallet is primarily an adult-oriented service that most children don’t have access to”

Surely it is the adults that have to prove that they are old enough, not the children that have to prove they are not?

In space, Venus flanks Earth on the left, with a hellfire greenhouse effect. Mars on the right, which long ago had running water. Today, it's bone dry. Something bad happened on each planet.

Seems like the wrong time to limit the Nation’s capacity to conduct climate research.

They have also spent the last decade alienating and driving out their moderates.

Insinctive psy-ops. He tells you black is white and bullies you until you agree.

I call it instinctive because like most bullies, it is not a thought out strategy, it is instinctive behaivour.

Is the U.S. Becoming an Autocracy? Other countries have watched their democracies slip away gradually, without tanks in the streets. That may be where we’re headedβ€”or where we already are.

These services are going to implode under the weight of their own greed soon anyway.

Used to be I could subscribe to maybe 2 and see most of what I wanted to. Now it feels like every half good show has it's own streaming network.

I swear they are pushing people back towards piracy.

The rule with git is either:

1. Overload an existing command that already does 100 things. git rebase --entangle maybe

2. Take a name from another cvs tool that does something completely different and use that. git resolve maybe?

He's trying the old "african gangs" trick that he tried at the last state election. Didn't work then and I doubt it will work now.
