I spent 6+yrs @ AMD engg in mid to late 2000s helping design the CPU/APU/GPUs that we see today. Back then it was unimaginable for AMD to beat Intel in market-cap… pic.twitter.com/bYCS5vY0QO

Again, critical infrastructure is already being compromised by cyber threat actors *without the use of AI*. The only thing that keeps your lights on is 1) the restraint those actors show and 2) thankless work by CISA and others to remove them. The defenses to each of these… https://t.co/HPpgx6lCBt

“Morality and ethics should play no part”: Leaks reveal how Russia's foreign intelligence agency runs disinformation campaigns in the West
The Insider has obtained hacked correspondence from officers of Russia's foreign intelligence agency (SVR) responsible for “information warfare” with the West. The leaked documents, intended for various government agencies, reveal the Kremlin's strategy: spreading disinformation on sensitive Western topics, posting falsehoods while posing as radical Ukrainian and European political forces (both real and specially created), appealing to emotions — primarily fear — over rationality, and utilizing ...

A thread of threads. 20 misconceptions about the Revolutionary War (or American War of Independence). Americans (proud to be one) are often quite ill-informed about the military struggle which led to our independence from Great Britain.

Aside from some technical terms containing thálassa/thálatta 'sea', the only other example of this dialectal difference that I know of in English is 'glossary' (from Ionic) and 'glottal' (from Attic).https://t.co/62AO7H7HTw
