nielsen's ACR method is embedded into millions of devices and vendors. No need for a microphone, it's processing the audio signal being sent out. A microphone would be a wasted conversion.. (your car infotainment also likely has n

For some reason makes me think about replicators, and I found this article: https://columbusunderground.com/next-abundance-ds1/ There is plenty of others, but the idea of being post-scarcity of information creation&#x2

Exactly, go look at Lucid/Tesla and a few others for examples of how the car is a brick without the manufacturers sekret unlock codes and calibration software. If they decide not to help, you are out of luck.

isn't this just malicious compliance? not clear how this would violate GPLv2?

That was mostly Bayesian probability filters, followed by SPF and more recently DKIM.. Maybe you could consider the Bayesian filter databases being trained as ML, but I feel it's a far way from our typical AI/LLM surge

I have bad news if you think banks are the pinnacle of cyber security practices... Maybe some rare few are, but by and large they generally stink. They tend to give that impression because they hire tons of auditors and panjandrum, to hassl

this is all fine and good, if you are okay broadcasting your internal hostnames. I suppose it's a trade off some might make.

Kind of reminds me of https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00... Interesting they could not figure out pattern 1? Wonder if there is any additional metadata to point at a vendor or provider..

Fully agree, the only downside is without a SOC2 you will be asked to fill out an insane 200+ questionnaire. Good news is you have all these great LLM tools you can do this work for you, and just check it over.

We are replacing those with AI agents anyways. It'll be AI agents all the way down!

Believe it or not, straight to jail! Just kidding, great writeup. I know it's not groundbreaking, but does surprise me how many products don't bother with rate limiting controls.

Fascinating to see an outsized increase in "game" development compare to a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43154065 (I'm sure someone could throw this into some llm analysis and prove it out, b

In fact: https://wilgibbs.com/blog/defcon-finals-mcp/ Which makes me think: yes, llms can solve some of this, but still only some. It's more than a research tool, when you combine tools and agentic workflows.

Ah ha! But now the complete lack of emdash and bullet pointed lists from antislop will be the tell! Riposte!

seconding this. I bought a SteamDeck OLED -- and it blows my mind more people havent heard about these. it's essentially a bad ass handheld laptop. yes it plays games great, but the OS side when you boot into desktop mode is quite capa

Yes you can enable specific encryption types for users. It's not super common, but it can be done.

that is wild! I could certainly see this as an attempt to eliminate hiring bias maybe? that was super popular in that time frame, but never heard anybody taking it that far.

I have never heard of IQ tests for hiring, is this for real? I've seen Myers-Briggs and similar personality sorting hats, but never IQ.

Fully agree with this point we all know as engineers this shit is nails on the chalkboard.

by spydum 1y ago
I'm sure that's true but I've worked with a lot of engineers that are of this caliber and as long as you can form a coherent logical explanation they will bend they're way more open than you expect. But you got to put in

The problem is when they acquire software or services you have dependended on for decades, hard to change some of that stuff. However, I agree: if this does happen to you, move very fast to put some distance between you and this company. Th

it's not. I think there were some corner cases where the storage controller or SSD may use compression, in which.. the random nature of LUKS would cause more writes, but I'm not sure thats a real concern.

They have them, but not from a web interface. Probably will require talking to a human, and a service fee to retrieve the records from physical storage.
