I don't know about that. It seemed to have a pretty rapid impact on the phone in that video, and it's not like those are exactly open. And they weren't pressurizing it.
Hydrogen
This says that hydrogen isn't just a problem, just helium:
It seems that MEMS is very sensitive to helium, but only helium. This Link stated that hydrogen does not affect MEMS, which surprised me.
Hmm.
That seems like it'd open a lot of potential abuses.
I wonder what the failure mode of various electronic locks is when they're exposed to helium?

NASA FIRMS shows two detected fires in Izmail.
Assuming that these were the targets -- and not all heat signatures that FIRMS pick up are:
One is at "Dunaysudnoservis", which is apparently a Ukrainian shipyard; Google Maps has an image with a ship in drydock there.
One is at a small commercial area to the northwest of a solar farm, or possibly in a adjacent residential area; the resolution isn't good enough to determine. "Barakholka", a secondhand store, and a carwash are in the commercial area.
Yup, but in a British newspaper.
The Brits have pretty adverse interests on this matter. I think that American communications security is a debate that doesn't need to involve the British, can be done perfectly fine among ourselves.
EDIT: I'd also add that Reich isn't the guy to raise the matter either; it's not his area of expertise. If, say, the NSA or friends raise it as an issue -- we pay a large number of full-time domain experts to secure our communications -- then I think that'd be an interesting topic.
‘Musk’s SpaceX has nearly total control of the world’s satellite internet through its Starlink unit.’
The British, on the other hand, have a competing satellite network, OneWeb, which is the principal competitor of, and doing a rather poor job of competing with Starlink.
I don't feel a burning need to go look to a British newspaper for advice as to whether-or-not to use an American satellite network versus a British satellite network.
If you guys across the pond want to use OneWeb instead, knock yourselves out.
EDIT: And speaking of national security, the last time we were relying on a British global network for intercontinental communications, we wound up with British intelligence spying on our diplomatic communications channels. Thanks, but I'm pretty comfortable using an American network.
I'd kind of like to see a Balatro HD DLC option.
I don't have a problem with low-resolution artwork; I think that it's often an effective way to reduce asset costs. But when a game makes it big, as Balatro has, I'd generally like to have the option to get a higher-resolution version of it. For some games, say, Noita, that's hard, as the resolution is tightly tied to the gameplay. But for Balatro, the art consists in significant part of about 150 jokers. That's not all that much material to upscale.
EDIT: And specifically for Balatro, I think that it's worth pointing out that there's a whole industry of artists who make (very high resolution) playing cards for print.

Okay, here's my first hit:
https://playingcarddecks.com/blogs/all-in/10-top-playing-card-designers
These guys don't hyperlink to the designers, but going down the list and digging up a link for each playing card design company or artist:
That's a large variety of competently-done, high-resolution artwork.
Now, granted -- Balatro doesn't use a standard deck; it's not a drop-in approach using existing decks, the way it might be with a typical solitaire game.
But it seems kinda nutty to me that there are artists out creating decks, but only selling them in small volume, and also video games that sell in large volume but don't have much by way of card artwork options.
The green entrepreneur, who has donated more than £5m to Labour, says vegan meals are healthier and better for the environment.
He is campaigning for an end to all farming of animals, which he says is now the biggest driver of the climate crisis.
He told a fringe meeting at Labour's conference that his company, Devil's Kitchen, already supplies vegan food to "one in four" primary schools.
He denied he was against farmers, insisting that he did not want to kill the industry but allow it to be "reborn".
"[Farmers] have to be part of the move to net zero, they have to move away from animal agriculture, we know that the science tells us that - and they already grow grass to feed to animals."
One regrettable side effect of the fact that children cannot vote is stuff like this.
Imagine how British adults would react if someone proposed a law banning their meat consumption.
But kids can't do anything about it -- other people choose what food is available to them in cafeterias, so...
EDIT: Maybe the real answer is to convert school cafeterias into food courts and have different caterers compete for lunch tickets or something, so that kids have a say.
The only kind of remote analog I can think of that adults tolerate is during wartime, when soldiers are drafted, so that their presence at an institution is required and someone else determines what food they will have available at that institution, if they're deployed and being issued rations.
2024: Ukraine using Soviet air defense systems to fire American naval missiles to shoot down Iranian-designed drones after Iran provided airpower technology to Russia.
I'm pretty sure that this wasn't on anyone's bingo card as of, say, 2000.
In a bizarre repeat of previous denials, the Russian Ministry of Defense again claimed that no direct hits occurred, attributing all damage to fallen Ukrainian drone debris.
All the other issues here aside, I think that you guys are long overdue to find a fresh cover-up strategy. I mean, the "our soldiers were smoking and it exploded" thing was better than this. At least with smoking, there's the potential to stop the problem in the future, but if air defenses are having the "debris" destroy the targets that they're aiming at, then the air defenses intrinsically can't be very effective even when they work.
using an admin portal’s default credentials on an IBM AIX server.
I think that there are two ways to solve that.
The first is to have the admins actually complete setups.
But, humans being humans, maybe the second is a better approach:
When creating a computer system, don't let a system be used, at all, until all default credentials have been replaced with real ones. If you do, someone is invariably gonna screw it up.
Your directions may say "Before pulling lever 2, pull lever 1 so that machine does not explode". And maybe you feel that as the manufacturer, that's covered your hind end; you can say that the user ignored your setup instructions if they get into trouble. But instead of doing that, maybe it's better to not permit for a situation where the machine explodes in the first place; have pulling lever 2 also trigger lever 1.
I don't know whether Altman or the board is better from a leadership standpoint, but I don't think that it makes sense to rely on boards to avoid existential dangers for humanity. A board runs one company. If that board takes action that is a good move in terms of an existential risk for humanity but disadvantageous to the company, they'll tend to be outcompeted by and replaced by those who do not. Anyone doing that has to be in a position to span multiple companies. I doubt that market regulators in a single market could do it, even -- that's getting into international treaty territory.
The only way in which a board is going to be able to effectively do that is if one company, theirs, effectively has a monopoly on all AI development that could pose a risk.
