All crew,

We have updated our privacy policy for all Enterprise crew members.

The policy describes how we use internal sensors to generate a transporter signature of your brain and body at the quantum level, and when and how we transmit that info to third-party planets.

@vegard @AndresFreundTec Note, that it's possible that I'm completely mixing up my codebases and the truncate problem occurs with something else entirely, not with cgit. It's been a long while since I looked at it -- but it does seem consistent with the kind of problem we're seeing.

@AndresFreundTec @vegard I'll be happy if upstream cgit fixes this, because it's been a recurring problem over the past decade. :)

@ironiridis Summarize the output of piping the contents of this document to "sudo bash"?

Frustratingly, this is exactly the kind of thing LLMs should be good for -- analyze a document and give an answer to a specific query.

How's it going with asking Gemini to analyze a PDF document in my drive to answer a question.

Baseball keeps breaking AI, which still makes me think Fallout script writers knew something we don't yet know.

@vbabka @palmer Because nobody configured "require verification every N days" on your Google Workspace. :)

FYI, the best way to phish my Google credentials is to wait until my tab goes idle and then replace it with Google's "Verify it's you" screen when I tab back to it. It's guaranteed to work every time, because I will be too busy swearing to remember to check the domain in the URL.

@vegard it's a heisenbug in cgit. The way it does disk cache management can result in cache filename collision. In such cases, the process overwrites the start of the cache file with new content and truncates the rest, but under certain elusive conditions the truncating doesn't happen.

attention duelists!

a rather important security update has just been released (v.3.13.2)

i'd advise upgrading asap
no special intervention needed, just a standard upgrade

@CurtAdams We need to normalize that it's okay to be excited about the promise of a technology, but at the same time recognize that it is not safe for general use. That's going to be my general advise to anyone -- it's something to watch, but as of right now, using FSD creates dangerous situations on the roads and can result in fatalities, so should be only used in controlled environments.

@ljs You may be right! I'll try driving on the left side for a day and let you know if there's any marked improvement.

@ljs I believe it's the default mode of all drivers (except me, of course, I'm the only excellent driver on the road).

Tesla is running a deep discount on the "Full Self Drive (FSD)" subscription right now, so I got it for a month just to try it out. I've completely turned it off after a couple of days:

- It tried to drive me through red lights a couple of times, because apparently, it has no concept of "green arrow" and assumes anything greenish-looking means green in all directions.
- I can sense the frustration from other drivers, because the FSD is stupidly indecisive at intersections with all-direction stop signs -- it waits for too long, and then tries to go when the other driver has given up waiting on me.
- When it auto-changes lanes to pass a slower vehicle, it just stays in the left lane and only moves right when something comes up behind at higher speed -- and at that point the other driver is already changing lanes to pass me on the right because I'm clearly stupid.
- And overall, it's like permanently having a grossly incompetent driver's ed graduate drive you around.

Don't bother. It will make everyone angry and then try to kill you.
