Eh, I don’t totally agree. AI can discover novel exploits that aren’t already in some database, and likely have in this case.

I’m just saying the operating patterns between different LLMs are more similar than you’d expect, like similar tools from the same factory.

It does seem advantageous to the defender.

Another factor Mozilla didn’t mention (and that Anthropic wouldn’t like to emphasize) is that major LLMs are pretty similar. And their development is way more conservative than you’d think. They use similar architectures and formats, train from the same data, distill each other, further pollute the internet with the same output and so on. So if (for example) Mozilla red teams with Mythos, I’d posit it’s likely that attacker LLMs would find the same already-patched bugs, instead of something new.

…So yeah. I’d wager Mozilla’s sentiment is correct.

I mean, algos make it far worse and should be criminalized, but it’s not just their algos. I see tons of ragebait trending on Lemmy too, at the expense of niche communities.

My new belief is that platforms and communication forms all have a set life, and should die when they go bad (for a variety of reasons). The Big Tech platforms are just examples that have lived waaaay too long.

And while I like to think the Fediverse is aging slower, it copied existing platforms a little too closely, without trying to correct their structural issues.

I mean, I use every alternative I can. Vapoursynth scripts, libraw-based projects, random GitHub repos, DaVinci…

But there are some features I just can’t get great support for outside of definitely-not-high-seas Lightroom Classic:

• Good lens profiles for weird lenses.

• Proper HDR PQ/HLG editing and AVIF/JXL export support.

• RAW support for newer cameras, like my little R50V

I have yet to try DaVinci’s photo editing mode though. That’s very interesting.

Yeah, that’s going too far, but I understand the reaction to fanning over Valve.

There are a bazillion historical examples of why one should use, not trust, big businesses. They are entities to make transaction with, not people, and they will tighten the screws even if it takes decades.

This is doubly true in the software business.

And if the Valve superfans look at the world in 2026 and somehow don’t see that, I honestly don’t know what to tell them. They’re in such a completely different world than me I don’t know where to start.

These comments…

Some day, Steam is going to enshittify, eat game devs for breakfast, and all these Steam fans will wonder how anyone could have possibly seen this coming.

Kind of like a certain online bookstore named after a river.

Not that I don’t enjoy Steam. But I trust them as much as any corporation: not at all.

5.4 Electrical Conductivity Measurement This method includes electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and dielectric analysis (DEA). The physical state of a material is measured as a function of frequency in EIS and the frequency ranges from 100 Hz - 10 MHz. It is simple and easier technique used to estimate the physiological status of various biological tissues49-52. Experimental frequency response of impedance is characterised by electrical equivalent circuits of materials. The physical properties of materials can be quantified by monitoring the changes in parameters at the equivalent circuit, among various equivalent models proposed53-54. DEA measurement is used in high frequency areas, generally 100 MHz - 10 GHz. DEA is used in moisture estimation and bulk density determination

So a overripe banana is an interesting high-pass filter, kinda like a capacitor, though the big takeaway is the conductance vs ripeness.

So if you want to test if a banana is ready to eat, hook it up… preferably with several other bananas in series. If the music is too loud, they are ready. Too quiet, and it’s not time yet.
