I worked with Moto on simple security improvements a few years ago and while they understood the competitive advantage they would get, being a now-small player - I also wasn't convinced that they were fully committed, their support app

Disappointing news to say the least. this doesn't save that much space and power. Pixel series aren't the fastest- they're far behind. They're also not the cheapest, they're amongst the most expensive. The reason pe

- Software is copy-able for nearly free. - Hardware is not. Even if you have the plans, you've to build the infrastructure for it, and its a fairly finite, physical item. Both are however hard and expensive to produce. It's much

it is getting there, and not so slowly though. The remaining problem is that it's still just a tool. Telling a random dev "make zig faster in a one shot PR" isn't going to give good results either. In the past, OSS proje

When i was a kid, my dad had a Mac with the A/V PAL-SECAM cards. Hooked up a make-shift copper wire antenna and wrote a decoder with the free codewarrior cd folks gave me at Paris' Mac convention (we were 12 and crazy I guess). Go

it's actually just trust but verify type stuff: - verifying isn't asking "is it correct?" - verifying is "run requests.get, does it return blah or no?' just like with humans but usually for different reasons a

bicycle weight ratios are completely different from even motorcycles. a bike wheel can quickly become heavier than the frame for example.

google even has specially signed fw that let you root the device and unlock anything that doesn't rely on the passcode. secureboot passing and all. i can't imagine that the nsa doesnt have them. after that you just gotta crack the

you seem to believe that llm are a neutral engine with bias applied. its not the case. the majority of the bias is in the model training data itself. just like humans, actually. fe: grow up in a world where chopping one of peoples finger of

its not an llm thing -- its just -- folks don't know how to use them (pun intended). Same for ; "" vs '', ex, eg, fe, etc. and so many more. I like em all, but I'm crazy.

why not do both :) I think that there's also inherent trust in "hardware security" but as we all know its all just hardcoded software at the end of the day, and complexity will bring bugs more frequently.

to be fair, most of MTE's benefit is realized by having enough users running your apps with MRE enabled, rather than having it everywhere. This is because MTE facilitate finding memory bugs and fixing them - but also consumes (physical

Dan Kaminski popularized this in 2007-8 or so. Not that it didn't exist here and there, but he made the perhaps first public version of a dns tunnel (ozyman). he inspired iodine and others and was a fairly well known guy. Dan passed aw

Principles are just nice words, and that's it. It's, IMO, the action/reward loop that matters most (i.e. incentives). Most, if not all big tech companies do not align incentives with principles - quite the opposite. Most folk

unfortunately, contrarily to popular belief, you cannot run Linux natively on recent macbooks (m4) today.

IMO there a flaw in this typical argument: Humans are not less fallible than current LLMs in average, unless they're experts - and even that will likely change. what that means is that you cannot trust a human in the loop to somehow ma
