The operator’s social “experiment” has all the scientific value of an angry person at a drive-thru McDonalds goading a child into shouting and throwing food at the employee.

The marketing has 100% shifted to the creation of workloads using “Agents”. Presumably the hyperscalers can begin conflating the number of “agents” created with “boring jobs eliminated” and thus herald the industrial revolution. But first:

What are some ways to avoid common methological pitfalls when generating test cases for "groundedness" benchmarks with automation? Confirmation bias is one obvious pitfall that comes to mind, but also I wonder how it is possible t

That’s my understanding. In a pure implementation, the same level of trust is implied (absolutely none at all) whether a device is connecting to a resource from the public internet or the same subnet.

There are four different micro-segmentation variations in the NIST reference guide: device-agent/gateway, enclaves, resource portals, and application sandboxing. Basically a policy evaluation point (PEP) evaluates the security posture

Microsoft’s version of “Zero Trust” doesn’t care if things are reachable from the public internet. They have been preaching “identity is the new perimeter” [1] for years, and it doesn’t wash. The NIST Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) implement

The terms “Cognitive decline” or “brain rot” may have sounded too sensational, and to be fair the authors note the limitations of the small sample size. Indeed the paper doesn’t provide a reference or citation for the term “cognitive debt”

Another reason to be worried by Microsoft’s Azure security guidelines which state “Identity is the new perimeter”. Well, the perimeter is not a gate but a cattle guard, and I am not surprised to see some wolves eating a secret and a cow swa
