These satire articles on cybersecurity are really entertaining.

The other one a few days ago was also good: https://nesbitt.io/2026/02/03/incident-report-cve-2024-yikes...


I enabled it and I had to read carefully to check if it was really active... turns out I never read the words that caveman omits, so to me it makes zero difference.


Yeah, makes sense. The appeal is is more to cut output tokens for cost, than downstream reading experience. But the benchmark suggests it doesn't offer as much benefit as "be brief.".


At what point does milk become oil?


The law of supply and demand works in a perfect competition market.

There are two RAM suppliers...


> The report estimates that carbon emissions from models with the least efficient inference are over 10 times as high as those with the most efficient inference. DeepSeek’s V3 models were estimated to consume around 23 watts when responding to a “medium-length” prompt, while Claude 4 Opus was estimated to consume about 5 watts.

This makes absolutely no sense. I suppose they meant watt hours, and that's a weird way to explain carbon emissions...


And vegan of course


Ew. Vibecoded slop is vegan: no biological life was involved during its creation.


Could you explain what you think veganism is or means?


Go ahead, I know you're itching to. (It was just a silly joke, no need to get offended)


Not offended and I find it funny, though you nailed my itching:

> "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals."

Just curious,

would that include lab grown animal products?


My personal take is yes, assuming there's no animal exploitation or cruelty involved.

That said AFAIK there is no consensus: some abstain from all animal inputs while others focus on avoiding harm, which itself can be interpreted in different ways. It's more a philosophy than a rulebook, lab-grown meat kind of sits in a gray area. I'd be curious to try it :-)


And just like that, history has been erased.


Nice philosophical point. To iron-on more irony, zooming out a little, one could also argue much real historical experience was first erased when it was written down with the presumption of authority.

So is now the best time to write history by hand?


It's impressive how much details they give in the release notes, down to the filenames of added sprites and changes to the shaders. I can't think of another game that does that.


Java Minecraft has always been super transparent. I remember being shocked when I signed up for their early modding SDK prior to Microsoft and it was literally just the source code for Minecraft that I could compile against.


The channel owner seem to be a non-speaking person so that explains it.


In science fiction maybe. We're hitting real limits on compute while AI is still far from a level where it would harmful, and FHE is orders of magnitude less efficient than direct calculation.


That's 58 GWh, but considering each food calorie actually require 5-10 calories of input energy (oil mostly), let's say 290 GWh.

I couldn't find much on training AI models. Apparently GPT-3 used 1.3 GWh for training. So maybe ~10 GWh for newer models?

So... let's stop training humans I guess.


13.75 million kcal is 0.01598 GWh, not 58 GWh. So with the 5x multiplier, that's 0.08 GWh for a human.
