Pentagon taps former DOGE employee to lead its AI efforts amid Anthropic fallout This appointment unfolds amid significant tensions surrounding the Pentagon's AI strategy

Oh no

The Pentagon named Gavin Kliger, a computer scientist who has amplified white supremacists and misogynists online, as its new Chief Data Officer, placing him at the heart of the Department’s ambitious artificial intelligence initiatives.

Famously the SS all had their blood type tattooed on them and plenty of creative lies were invented to explain it away or actions taken cover it up post-war.

Came across this a little while ago, first sign I've seen of pointing a finger actually at Iran, though no indication of what kind of activity.

It could be done but email is just such a bad choice for it that it's really not worth doing while alternatives exist.

Yeah, even within that email is pretty uniquely bad. It's because it's *so* asynchronous, right? The RTT on a message/response is very open ended. Any kind of sophisticated KEM handshake needs multiple messages back and forth before there's even a secure channel established.

You can sort of, you basically need to use it as a medium for some kind of overlay network. They all see it arrive in plaintext first then encrypt it, it's private by policy not design.
I say we all just accept email isn't end to end and move on. The belief it can be does more harm than good.

Emails from non-Proton Mail users to Proton Mail users The email is encrypted in transit using TLS. It is then unencrypted and re-encrypted (by us)

the infamous "SSL Added and removed here! :¬)" NSA slide.

End-to-end encrypted email has been freely available since the 90s with the advent of PGP (yes, PGP sucks, etc).
Proton kind of does PGP for you between other proton accounts.
The rest of it is kinda meh.

The UK is at minimum complicit in war crimes

holy fuckin shit lmao

DHS-IA-NDB-2026-07335 States the following IPs are associated with Iranian APT activity, Late Feb, Early March 2026 93[.]118[.]166[.]139 93[.]118[.]166[.]141 93[.]118[.]166[.]142 93[.]118[.]166[.]143 93[.]118[.]166[.]144 93[.]118[.]166[.]145

second page, just a bunch of notices. no useful information.

Dunno how relevant or factual this is (I.E. if it's even a real DHS bulletin).
IPs are registered to Telecommunication Company of Tehran so nothing really surprising there.
But maybe an indication of *some* kind of Iran cyber activities.

email headers for email from Robert Glennen to Pam Bondi and others at DOJ as well as others.

Letter from Robert E Glennen, Esmeralda County (Nevada) District Attorney.

Reported Charges (for Gregory Lawrence Wolff) include "Children-Enticing Over the Internet".

Imagine this is your county's DA.
Condolences to the people of Esmeralda County, Nevada...

Please do not use email for secure comms.
It's the one of the heaviest bits of tech debt we still lug around. It's barely fit for it's original purpose never mind modern communications.

This is going to get so much worse before it gets better.
And again, nobody is talking about North Korea
You gotta develop nuclear capabilities.
Khamenei shouldn't have issued a fatwa on nuclear weapons.

I knew I had seen a similar thing somewhere before

This is an uncomfortable truth that nobody has really wanted to talk about for decades.

Non-US persons do not have any form of legal protection from US surveillance.
Even if you're a customer of a US company, your data only gets protections in the case of criminal charges. There is a carve out for national security.
EU data in US companies stores is a free for all for surveillance.

In this context, probably worse still.

death cult.

We need another 9/11 so that we can all see the benefits and partner in a war with our regional ally and good friend, Saudi Arabia.

again all of these issues around moderation across federated instances are well known problems.

Bluesky should be aware of these if they had bothered doing any case studies around the Trust & Safety dynamics of ActivityPub projects…

why are they duplicating effort & replicating mistakes?

Fedora is kind of a UAT test bed for things that will eventually be incorporated into Government Approved Linux, yeah. (e.g. NSA, Navy, DoD, DoE, Boeing, NIST, etc. all customers listed in the recent Red Hat breach).

Truth Social post from President Only content is a picture of the NYPost letters section. Showing a letter from Marc Kasowitz for Manhattan extolling the virtues of Trump's attacks on Iran and his foreign policy in general.

Wikipedia entry for Marc Elliot Kasowitz, detailing that he was retained to represent Trump personally in 2017. Marc Elliot Kasowitz (/ˈkæzəwɪts/; born June 28, 1952) is an American trial lawyer and partner of the New York–based law firm Kasowitz, which he co-founded in 1993. He has represented companies such as TPG, Douglas Elliman Realty, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Pilgrim's Pride, Fairfax Financial Holdings, Liggett, MBIA, Woodstock 50, and Hoechst Celanese.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] He was a personal outside attorney for U.S. President Donald Trump.[8][9] On May 24, 2017, Kasowitz was retained to represent Trump personally in connection with investigations into the role of Trump's presidential campaign in Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections.[10][11] He later resigned on July 20, 2017.[12] Kasowitz also represents two Russian clients with close ties to Vladimir Putin.[13]

lol, cmon.

It is a bit funny that if your service succeeds in it's federated plan then also your own moderation and terms of service become meaningless. Very libertarian.

I think this only applies if you're on blacksky, because I've blocked moderation intentionally and had no email.
It's probably because they're on a different bsky instance which also greatly diminishes the strength of a permaban (I.E. what they did to Link).

Seems half-baked, I bet we see those requirements dropped or reduced. Also bet "Copilot" isn't a module you can opt out of.

Also genuinely wonder how a hard requirement on an NPU is going to work-out. People can't afford RAM, GPU or storage but can for NPU chips?
Especially since it's "modular" architecture is intended to be "scaled...for different device categories". Can they afford NPUs on their energy budget?
