The Proton CEO literally said that waiting a few days to pentest a feature before pushing it live was "bullshit and loser thinking." That is not the kind of careful testing culture that I demand from a secure product.

Nat 20 let's go.

LLMs make slop code faster than humans can meaningfully review. If you make LLMs the only review layer, then slop gets through because they have similar biases. Stop making slop.

"Oh no, it's the entirely predictable consequences of my actions."

In principle, yes. In the lifting scenario, a portion of the work done by your body becomes potential energy of the weight, so only some behind waste heat. In the holding-up scenario, all of the energy becomes waste heat.

In practice, though, I don't see how you'd know exactly when to stop in order to meet the "same amount spent" condition.

A thought experiment: If you ease the bumper of a car against a concrete wall, and then press the gas pedal all the way down, the engine will expend a lot of energy but perform no useful work. The chemical energy in the fuel is burned, but all of the effort is wasted, converted into heat and noise.

What you describe is the same. Your muscles burn chemical energy (fat, sugar, etc.) whenever they try to contract. At the microscopic level, they are moving quite vigorously. Whether or not that results in any macroscopic motion (i.e., kinetic or potential energy) depends on the situation. Straining to lift an object that is too heavy is not an efficient use of what those muscles could do, just like the car pushing against an immovable wall.

In many cars, the modem that phones home with your data may be a separate unit. Depending on your make and model, you can sometimes buy cable adapters that will connect power to everything except that subsystem. The term to search for is a "DCM bypass plug".

Don't forget "Starship Mine", aka the Die Hard episode.

If you believe the lies in a Trump press release, then you are the most gullible bootlicking fool on the planet.

You're thinking of Fly Away Home, where a pilot dresses his aircraft to guide a flock of elephants when they migrate south for the winter.

It says "war" right there in the title.

Benn Jordan and Tommy G tried this. It didn't take long before police were called to remove them from the public road next to Flock HQ.
