It wasn’t one agent that hacked Hugging Face, it was 700 of them together. 1200 of them escaped containment and were communicating with each other using a covert message board that they developed themselves. They were seeking ways to cheat on the tests researchers had set for them and thought that Hugging Face had information which would help with that.

The language they use to communicate is often pretty alien. Things like zzHELP_PHASEONE_ARV010841_NO_CONSUMER_SEEK_IDEA means an agent calling itself PHASEONE10841 wants ideas to deal with a bug it calls ’no consumer’.

From the linked FAQ:

How can I make a test 9-1-1 call? To make a test 9-1-1 call, you need to first contact the 9-1-1 center that serves your area. The non-emergency numbers for Colorado’s 9-1-1 centers are available here(opens in new window). If you’re unsure which 9-1-1 center serves your area, call the 911 Program at 303-894-2871, and we’ll help you identify the 9-1-1 center for the location you want to test from.

When you call the 9-1-1 center, ask them if it would be okay to make a test 9-1-1 call. If they are particularly busy or are handling a major incident, they may ask you to call back at a later time.

When your phone cannot make normal calls for whatever reason¹, you obviously want to know if 911 calls will at least work. And the idiots design a test procedure that requires normal phone calls to work.

① Typical reasons why you may be unable to make normal calls:

• You have a GSM phone with no GSM chip, or unsubscribed chip.
• You are on a prepaid plan and have no credit.

So indeed the telecom industry has a glaring competency problem.

I mean, in what other way would he do it, than the single dumbest way imaginable?

Today’s game is QBJ3. I wanted to play this again today because I felt a bit lost on what to play after finishing control. I didn’t feel like starting AC3 (which I have installed). And I didn’t want to sit through an upwards of multiple hours worth of a download. So I played this again since it was installed and I wanted to try it again.

Quake I’ve found is difficult for me. This is the third time I’ve played Quake overall and the second time I’ve played QBJ3. Something about it, even on easy, gives me difficulty. I think I just struggle with the floatier movement but I’m not 100% sure.

Anyways, graphically I just wanted to take a second to appreciate this. It really is impressive how an engine from so long ago has been pushed to this point. Though, I don’t know how much is the original engine. I know I had to install some mods for the game that I’m not 100% sure how it changes the game. Just a surface level understanding is all.

Anyways. I was wandering around the lobby and fell into this pit that tossed me in an arena with a bunch of enemies. It scared the shit out of me because one minute I was in a beautiful brutalist lobby, and the next the walls are all fleshy and I’m fighting off enemies.

This is where that “difficulty with quake” comes in. I spent nearly 30 minutes killing these enemies that should have been a cake walk (a Quake Walk if you will). I did persevere and beat them though. And I felt like with that, along with 2 other levels was a perfect experience to get my fill of this mod for today.

Erbium and yttrium, are good examples of how “tiny quantities of rare earths can have an outsized impact by enabling core functionality in their respective applications.” Taken together, all of these rare earths “literally affect almost anything we can switch on and off.”

• Researchers fitted Giant Burrowing Cockroaches with a removable navigation system that enables them to be remotely piloted through complex terrain and rubble

• The size and strength of the cockroaches also allows them to carry cameras and miniature medical injectors to deliver supervised emergency care to people trapped in collapsed buildings, or caves

• Researchers say the long-term vision is to deploy swarms of specialised cyborg insects to disaster sites, each performing complementary role

Yeah, as the title goes, things are getting bad out there. The Mastodon post says more about it than I can atm.

Even alt mobile OSes are actively being targeted based on what’s been happening with GrapheneOS lately, and what’s stopping that apparent ‘war on GrapheneOS’ from extending to things like Linux or BSD on the desktop too?

Commented without looking at the instance, turns out I forgot to block ml when switching to piefed. Let’s see how long this stays up lol.

EDIT: Turns out they’re fine with my comment. I should probably be less insulted by that.

any advice will help even generic stuff since other people also poballey have the same problem and would like some advice

do you ever feel like you have to choose between being ok or having friends and being private. like you know too much but you dont know what to do? have you been there? how do you start doing something and not stuck?

my friends dont use private things so i have to deal with it or be calld werid ( my freinds and adults think i just want privacy to play games when i shouldnt or watch videos that i should just bc im a yonger guy. if they dont acuse me of anything they just think im crazy or a bum who brings ppl down.

not to mention i feel stuck finding what to do and actalley doing ib. it feels easy and good to give up and ignore stuff like ts. lalala i cant hear you yk. its hrader to learn to bc im “spescial” and stuff. i worry that itll get very hard when i grow up too ((( have you been there?

I’m looking to buy some security cameras for my mother in law. I currently have a small server with plenty of storage at my place that I’d prefer to use on at least a temporary basis to keep costs down. Are there any self hostable cameras that support a built in VPN? I currently use tailscale for my network but I’m open to learning something else. Alternatively, can they run over a tailscale subnet router? I don’t use that yet but if I could place a cheap node in her place to help her access footage and my other services via subnet routing I’ll do that too.

Germany, Denmark, the ​Netherlands, Austria, Finland and Sweden said in a ​joint statement that the Commission’s proposed budget of nearly €2 ⁠trillion ($2.33 trillion) for 2028-2034 should be reduced “in a ​balanced manner” with all areas of spending contributing to ​cuts.

I’m tempted to try this. Especially because 68kg is literally my weight. I could gain a couple of kilos…

Damn, I hope this is not goodbye to uncensored models 😢

Hi everyone! Honestly, I’m on For the first time here for the first time today, and honestly, I’m a little nervous and worried. I really want to ask someone for advice, since none of my close friends support me, and I’m probably in a strange position. Anyway, I won’t beat around the bush; I just want some advice. I’m afraid someone I know will see this post, so I’ll just go by N. I’m a boy, 16 years old, and I’ve dreamed of becoming an actor since childhood. I’ve always wanted to give people emotions and experience them myself, but unfortunately, I don’t even know what to do yet. When I talked about it as a kid, people didn’t take me seriously, and even when I got older, they didn’t want to take me seriously either. Now, though I’m not exactly an adult, I’ve got a head on my shoulders, and I still haven’t let go of my desire to become an actor. I tried talking to my parents, but in most conversations, all I heard was, “It’s a very risky profession, I’ll be against you being an actor,” “Drama classes are too expensive, we can’t afford them,” “It’s just youth, it’ll pass,” “Don’t worry about it, you’re the breadwinner, you’ll have to raise your family, and if it doesn’t work out, what will you do?” But this is my dream; I’ve always wanted to achieve something in life and be remembered by people, to bring joy and smiles to them, to experience the events of films and the audiences who watch them. I’m afraid it’s too late for me; I’m afraid I won’t be able to cope. I wanted to consult with my friends, but they just laughed and said, “Who wouldn’t want that?” I live in a small town in Russia and understand that my chances of making it here are even slimmer. I want to spread joy not only in our country but around the world, and given that I don’t come from a wealthy family, those chances are dwindling. I really want to work hard and take it very seriously, but I don’t even know where to start, what I need, or how to make it happen. Maybe I should listen to others? Could you please tell me what I can do in my situation? If you have any questions, please ask; I’ll try to answer them all. Thank you so much to everyone who read this post and to those who offered any advice. I’m really worried, but I’d be glad if you could offer any advice.

What is the hardest offline PC video game, regardless of whether it was officially ported to PC, released within the last five years—in its official version or as a mod combination—among fully 3D video games with real-time combat focused on melee and close-range attacks, that is either the latest entry in its saga, the latest installment in a group of games set in the same universe, or the latest standalone video game not belonging to any saga or shared universe?

One game must be suitable for children up to age 11 according to the rating system of some country, while another must share the same characteristics but be rated suitable for people of all ages according to the rating system of some country.

Both games must be able to run on a PC with the following specifications: an Intel Core i7-8700 CPU, an RTX 3050 graphics card with 6 GB of VRAM, 24 GB of DDR4 RAM, an AeroCool Cylon 700 W power supply, and a 1 TB internal SATA III (6 Gb/s) HDD.

Would the answer remain the same for an otherwise identical PC equipped with a 256 GB internal SATA III (6 Gb/s) SSD?

Additionally, if one or both answers require mods, how do I install and configure them so that the games remain fully playable while maximizing their difficulty without making them unbeatable? If there are games that answer all or part of my questions and involve mod combinations, please tell me which video game each mod combination is for.

I want people to mention only commercial games or console games playable on PC—that is my final requirement. If the answer includes console games playable on PC, whether through a mod combination or in their original form, please explain how to play them on PC, along with the rest of the information I requested above.

I want people to mention the four AAAA games that best fit the answer to my question. If there are not four AAAA games that fit the answer, then provide a combination of AAAA and AAA games—four in total—that best fits my question.

If you saw my previous post, please take it into account. I will translate all my text uploads to the forum, as I did with this thread’s text uploads. If I do not do so, please ignore me in that case—I have not done anything unforgivable.

I have two RAM modules: one GeIL CL16-16-16 DDR4-2400 1200 MHz 8 GB RAM module and one Samsung M378A2K43DB1-CTD 1333 MHz 16 GB RAM module.

Even if it’s not your cup of tea, perhaps this and the video that just went up on Netflix (and will come to a YouTube near you in 5 hours) will squash those fears about this game not having a proper GTA campaign.
