Never assume you know how Americans feel about something because most of them a) don't know enough to have a solid opinion and b) swing to extremes based on the last piece of information (real or fake) that they heard.
> You would think AI could create secure, random, and strong passwords…
Why would one think that the autocomplete machine, designed to give likely responses to a given input, would return something unique, with high entropy?
I am glad that this piece advocates for using a proper password manager. https://www.pcmag.com/explainers/i-asked-ai-to-generate-passwords-theyre-so-bad-its-scary
@rmondello Some time ago I asked chatgpt to give me a random number. It said 42. Tried again under another account, with no account, in a different machine, a friend tried too. Always 42.
What is the genre of this game music? I want to find more.
@chartier drum & bass / jungle. specifically maybe kinda liquid dnb esque? but i think most tracks you’d find with an initial search for that might be more intense / high energy than this one
@mariusor no, it's a matter how your libcurl is built.
@icing so, should I report this to my upstream? Or wait for the fix, if there's going to be one?
@hedders if our experience in Leicestershire is anything to go by, loads of them will resign their seats or be sacked from cabinet positions in the next 12 months.
Meanwhile, those potholes will still need repairing.
Also watch out for the immediate closure of anything relating to inclusivity.
What is happening
How The ‘Ballmaxxing’ Trend Brings Dangers To Men’s Genitals
@TheBreadmonkey No.
Nope. NO.
I won't accept it. This doesn't exist. It's not a thing. They are just letting the LLM write everything now.
*shudder*
It’s going to be fun over the coming months watching all those new Reform councillors finding out that they can’t blame potholes on “woke”, or get people to stop moaning about their bins not being collected by banging on about immigrants. Councillors do important work (the good ones do, anyhow), but it’s dull, dull, dull, and about as unglamorous as it gets.
also “solve climate change”
@thomasfuchs part of the pitch originally but they’ve gotten awfully silent about it
Spin to Win:
- a billions dollar startup get its source code leaked
- everyone sees hilarious stupid things, ridiculing the startup
- the IPO is in danger
- a Mythical New Product is announced that is ultra-super-good, but too dangerous. Only orgs that have an interest in the startup doing well get access.
- the media goes crazy with doomerisms. „Will this be the end of <something people are emotionally attached to>?“
- everyone forgets about the leaked, shoddy stuff
Works every time.😌
@nileane awesome view from your new place. Enjoy! And please explain those american dads your nice windows 🤣
Woo. Don't call AI agents "cron jobs" in a meeting of AI bros. They will throw you out the window like on that one web comic meme.
@JessTheUnstill @susankayequinn @mavnn my personal head canon is that a lot of men have ALWAYS felt this way but lied to the press because they knew being honest would make women "all uppity" and piss them off.
Now that women are not trusting men At All and are analyzing actions not words... And rising egalitarianism means that nasty boys reciting the spells of old no longer gets them laid... They're being honest. And in very "LOCK DOWN AND TRACK WHATCHU GOT, FELLAHS!" ways.
@epilonious@toot.lgbt @JessTheUnstill@infosec.exchange @susankayequinn@wandering.shop I think there is some of that, but honestly I think the reality is a lot more complex than a single chart (or my initial exasperated comment). People feeling 'allowed to say what they really think' is a thing, but so is people changing opinion, even quite fast, and not having the self awareness to notice. We all tend to assume we've always been like we are now, and a lot of people don't challenge the assumption.
You know, if I had it to do over again, I would probably not have adopted pets whose average life spans coincide with when my kids were likely to move out of the house. It creates a lot of emptiness all at once.
@failedLyndonLaRouchite Let’s start from the premise that launching an in-depth discussion based on a meme risks sparking a pointless row.
But I believe there’s a big difference between hardware, general-purpose software and artificial intelligence, even though they’re undeniably linked.
IMO, AI hasn’t won yet, but they’re trying very hard and with a great deal of billion-dollar funding.
So, we’ll have to wait and see.
I very much agree that what you and I think doesn’t matter much, but nobody’s stopping us from thinking it anyway.
Sorry for my English – I’m using an AI to translate (just kidding)
very well said, thank you
@cR0w Browsers are a bit interesting in terms of defining what actually is a security vulnerability. A modern browser's job is to download untrusted code from probably malicious people, run it, and not let them gain access to the host system. As a result, browsers (Firefox was late to the party by a very long time here, but they've done some very interesting work recently in this space) are some of the most aggressively compartmentalised software that exists. This means that most vulnerabilities in a browser are not exploitable by themselves, you need to chain a bunch of them together.
I suspect there's some psychological effect here, that when you're writing code that you know runs sandboxed, you aren't quite as careful as you would normally be. But there's also a real effect that a lot of the vulnerabilities matter only as step 1 in a chain of several to get to any real kind of compromise that a user would care about.
@david_chisnall That's fair, but to my point, it seems like if there is awareness of that whole idea that the main issue is dev attitude, finding out that a bunch of vulns made it to prod seems like the perfect opportunity to address that rather than just be happy there's a new bug finder that will very quickly hit a wall in its effectiveness.
@icing anything I can do in my code to mitigate this?
@mariusor no, it's a matter how your libcurl is built.
rpg.actor is quickly turning into one of the most interesting projects on atproto. im stuck in the mines of writing about eu policy stuff this week, wish i had more time to dedicate to writing about the fun stuff people are doing on atproto
