So we can’t sent encrypted DMs to other humans on Instagram anymore — Meta says there was low adoption, but it was never enabled by default, so… — but you can have incognito chat with AI.
Definitely a company with its priorities straight.

NordVPN's parent company is trying really hard to get me to accept an invite to some media pampering event at their HQ in Vilnius.
I'm not going obviously, but if you suddenly see a bunch of positive NordVPN reporting on or shortly after 28-29 May, some people clearly did not say "no". 🙃

Before reaching for an LLM for finding vulnerabilities in your own project, you should probably still be:
- Testing
- Linting
- Running other existing, algorithmic static analysis tools for security
- Fuzzing
- Looking at new and existing security bugs and looking for other bugs of the same type *and* findings ways to make each type of bug harder to introduce in the future
With those already in place, LLMs still don't seem to have a major advantage. I'm curious whether that will change, though.
I'm curious how well it compares to just using a high equality static analysis tool. (The problem with those are that they're stupid-expensive.)
That explains a lot.
@ArdentArchivist Uninstalling the old version and then installing the new one is a good idea!
Fair enough. 👍👍 Thanks again.
@rbowen @preinheimer I misread airships as starships, and I was about to exclaim, “WTF?! Shannara’s in space now?!”

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha says Kyiv wants deeper ties with Astana, from trade and transport routes to reconstruction, education, and humanitarian support. #https://timesca.com/ukraines-foreign-minister-on-kazakhstan-trade-and-war/ #MiddleCorridor #Ukraine #Kazakhstan #TradeRelations
New, by me: U.S. lawmakers want answers from the chief executive of Instructure, which makes the Canvas software for schools, about the company's data breach and the defacement/extortion shitshow that followed.
Millions of students' data stolen in the breach. Instructure paid the hackers' ransom.
Blue Origin may need external funding to hit ambitious launch targets
Are the pockets of Jeff Bezos not as deep as everyone thinks?

@arstechnica Roll up, roll up. Invest now in Kessler Syndrome – a sure fire winner!
@preinheimer The explanations of the technology behind the airships in the Shannara series (https://shannara.fandom.com/wiki/Airship) and the diapason crystals, was just masterful. Brooks, in general, does an amazing job of both history and technology in his world building - even in his Star Wars book (He also wrote the novelization of Phantom Menace, which was way better than the movie, and explains how the racer pods work.)

Thanks for the response!
Which do you recommend? I’m inclined to go with uninstall 25.8.1.1, reinstall fresh with 26.x - but I’ve never done the in-place upgrade so don’t know how robust it is.
Setup: current Win 11 on an Alienware laptop, Intel processor w/32GB RAM.
(I finally dumped MS Office last year before installing Win 11, so LibreOffice is the only office suite it has had.)

@ArdentArchivist It's a bit hard to answer, with no details about your setup... How you update depends heavily on your operating system, for example.
