This is highly dangerous, right? If a bad actor possess centrifuge technology and can divert this <20% enriched uranium, they are essentially days or weeks away from achieving weapons-grade material. This severely reduces the "break

How much of this is AI?

I agree with this assessment but for many applications it's a viable approach, until the attacker goes off and writes their own shader to solve the PoW. We go to back to threat modeling here, and looking at the amount of effort vs gai

So this is a basically a shill advertisement ending in "Your AI Agents can avoid captchas if you pay us." The last example is a false narrative, that captchas will only happen if the "browser looks suspicious". Systems l

This sure sounds like a marketer spending far too many words crying that they've lost surveillance on their customers. Boo hoo, don't care.

One other thing to add to the story is that the merchants can’t select what level of security they want from the credit card processor. For example, with authorize.net, you can accept the payment with the address doesn’t matter it doesn’t m

Yet another “I cant’t parent so I’ll show my kids what a surveillance state looks like” post.

Caveat: I was employee 13 at Twitter and I spent a long time dealing with random failure modes. At extremely high scale you start to run into very strange problems. We used to say that all of your "Unix Friends" fail at scale and

This a great idea, but it's a great idea when on-prem. During some thread, some where, there's going to be a roundtrip time between my servers and yours, and once I am at a scale where this sort of thing matters, I'm going to

Great, so now my eyes and back are going to be f'd. Just step away from the screen and take regular breaks.

Didn’t we solve this already with slab allocators in memcached? The major problem with fixed allocation like this is fragmentation in memory over time, which you then have to reinvent GC for.

The trivial defense against this is time limited passwords for Wifi access. Deny all access until a valid password is entered, only permit that password and MAC address pair for n minutes. Buy a coffee, get a new password, etc.

full of lies. for example, in downtown SF the options are few and far between. there is comcast for high speed, and well… there is comcast. If you want slow bonded DSL you can go to Sonic. Or At&T. Only recently has LTE become fast enou

Great idea but yet another blog post, which is actually marketing, which ends with “they did it buy our product so you can too”, which is probably not what Meta did.

probably the hardest thing here is people read faster than they write. in the 1990s I helped build a dating site where people put their profiles on small voicemails. This is very reminiscent of that and I think the engagement was low becaus

fantastic! I’ve been building game show buzzers and various PCBs for them for about ten years and used them at a lot of events. any chance you’ll open source this? My boards and code live here: https://github.com/netik/

Articles like these which blame technology as the great evil, with a “what about the children! think of the children!” bent, are biased and troubling. The article starts by blaming then iPhone and social media and goes on to show how the ch

The gold standard for this Druid at very large scale, or ClickhouseDB. Clickhouse has a lot of problems as far as modifying/scaling shards after the fact, while Druid handles this with ease (and the penalty of not being able to update

I’ve always referred to biometrics as a “non revokable username” and not a “password.” 100% agree with you here.

and of course, it’s ugly. sigh. Why is it that every OSS desktop has to look like a demo from the 70’s?
