Since the author is apparently afraid to name the organisation in question, it seems the legal threats have worked perfectly.

Or maybe in the diving community, "Maltese insurance company for divers" is about as subtle as "Bird-themed social network with blue checkmarks".

I'm a diver, DAN is the only company I can name that specialises in diving insurance.

Huh, apparently they're registered in Malta, what a coincidence...

Interesting that perplexity takes a random Redditor comment as fact...

yeah, so many software engineers are not verify "ai search results". Hey people, llm generated search results aren't reliable, might well have hallucinations. You have to verify anything they say.

Even better, one that specifically says "I don't know if that's it for sure"

There's pretty much only one global insurer affiliated with dive schools, so this is spot on

well, it is. quick search revealed a name of a certain big player, although there are some other local companies whose policies can be extended to "extreme sports"

Bluesky?

That's a butterfly.

There is precisely one large, internationally well known company that offers dive insurance and is based in Malta.

They left more than enough clues to figure out that this is DAN (Divers Alert Network) Europe.

Ironically, this will garner far more attention and focus on them than if they had disclosed this quietly without threats.

If you follow the jurisdictional trail in the post, the field narrows quickly. The author describes a major international diving insurer, an instructor driven student registration workflow, GDPR applicability, and explicit involvement of CSIRT Malta under the Maltese National Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure Policy. That combination is highly specific.

There are only a few globally relevant diving insurers. DAN America is US based. DiveAssure is not Maltese. AquaMed is German. The one large diving insurer that is actually headquartered and registered in Malta is DAN Europe. Given that the organization is described as being registered in Malta and subject to Maltese supervisory processes, DAN Europe becomes the most plausible candidate based on structure and jurisdiction alone.

Maybe.

Or maybe they took what they know to sell to the black hats.

This is legal, correct?

Didn't the AI companies scale down or get rid of their safety teams entirely when they realised they could be more profitable without them?

The safety teams are trivial expenses for them. They fire the safety team because explicit failure makes them look bad, or because the safety team doesn't go along with a party line and gets labeled disloyal.

The first customer is always the investor these days, so anything that threatens the investor's confidence is bad for business.

I'm trying to imagine this creature that is only somewhat different looking from a t rex and a chicken.

I get your meaning, just a funny phrasing.

> And the occasional struggles with typescript where the runtime seems to be changing too often; is it ts-node? tsx? tsm? The built-in typescript runtime in node? deno? bun?

This whole paragraph is so true. The last couple of years have been pretty rough in Node land.

I got 3/18. I'm not sure what to think of that. I live in a city full of Asian people, international students, tourists etc etc. One of my best friends in high school was Korean. One of my closest friends at uni was Japanese. One of my close friends now is Chinese.

Is it good or bad? I don't know.

It’s nothing. This is not a test to take a value judgement from.

I am a Chinese person living in Japan, I got 3/18 too.

I'm a white American from the middle of nowhere who grew up with Taiwanese friends and went to uni in Japan and got 12. I think when I took this test two decades ago, I got 12-13 but that was a long time ago.

You follow artists, and they are not tweeting their political opinions? Cool.

I gave up on Twitter when everyone I followed kept adding politics. Even if I agreed with it, I just don't want to a marinade in the anger all day.

The one exception I think of is the guy from Technology Connections, who I stopped following because I got tired of seeing him in my feed complaining about something or other. And I've noticed he's been putting that into his videos as well, so I might have to do it on YouTube as well.

I find it curious that the EU, despite it having such a complex parliamentary structure, is able to consistently enact such laws that are good for ordinary people. Are the two connected, I wonder...

That's the outcome of cherry picking the good things and ignoring the bad, not their decision making structure. Try asking critics of the EU what they don't like (a quick search on here will provide plenty of examples) and you'll see laws that are not good for ordinary people. Repeat with any jurisdiction, making sure to choose the opposite of your preconception (e.g. ask proponents of the USA's system what they like about it) and you'll get a better, less biased and more challenging view.

Years ago I was interested to discover that my local road authority uses Bluetooth tracking of drivers to monitor traffic speed on certain major roads. Detect a particular Bluetooth ID at one point, pick it up again 2km down the road, you know how fast the traffic is going. Pretty useful for getting an immediate alert if traffic speed suddenly plummets.

OP doesn't seem to explain what the lines are radiating out from the hole? I assume they're some sort of artefact from the simulations. There's no obvious reason for me why it's harder to chip in from these specific, evenly spaced directions.

Hey, yea, these are an artifact from the fact that I used a modified golden spiral as a way to regularly distribute the shot pattern within the probability density function. But yes, there are quite a few artifacts and shortcomings from the model. I do appreciate the attention to detail here.
