  I don't know if it's cheating or not, my reference frame is completely broken. But I found that Claude is extremely good at setting up fuzzing campaigns, analyzing fuzzing results and making effective changes/identifying blind spots. It has found defects in almost everything I threw at it so far without even trying hard.

  As I started watching "The Good Place", it swift slowly from a pop-comedy with light notions of philosophy into something that really explores the question of what it is to be a good person.

  Look, I'm not extremely fond of what AI's doing to our society or our planet, but calling it "glorified matrix multiplication" is a very strong indicator that you have no idea what's going on since 2022. No one is helping the societal debate by denying that 2026 LLM-based AI is extremely capable and dangerous when left autonomously taking decisions that impact the physical world.

  @lcamtuf as long as you don't make more than 10 predictions, it's safe enough.

  I've seen a job description in the spacial/cybersecurity field for which I'm theoretically a perfect fit and this makes me 10x more enthusiastic than I've been in the last 6 months. No idea if it will land (it's an employee position and I'd rather have freelance) but at least it means that I'm recovering.

  I don't have only good stories from working at Sony, but one day I was reviewing a chat app for TV, reported a medium-priority finding that the linking-to-particular-social-media feature had privacy concerns, and they killed the feature the next day without any arguing. The Sony TV never had built in microphones or cameras and aren't bundled with spyware other than the standard Google TV ones. This is the polar opposite of LG's behavior. https://mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/1172306...

  I just had the weirdest client call from Orange (supposedly). The guy knew a lot about my subscriptions (Internet and phone from two companies merging) but didn't know how much I paid for each, made very weird comments about the new modem I'm supposed to receive, like that it switchs to "satellite connection" when there's a problem on the cable and such.

  My problem is that I never finish any project. When doing something, I get distracted by something else that needs attention, then something else. That's how 2 days ago, when cleaning my driveway, I started removing the broken car ramp that goes to the garage, then uncloged the pile of years of goo and mud that accumulated next to the garage. When powercleaning, I started cleaning the wall, noticed it was collapsing, so I took the old concrete I had to redo the joint. Then went to the shop b...

  Pas pour critiquer, mais on finance toutes ces choses en achetant très légalement sur Amazon, en roulant en Tesla ou en utilisant un Sodastream. L'argument éthique est très très faible.

  Hi, I'm youtube, recommending you the worst extreme right content we have again. You'll probably like that one about how we should kill all the trans people.

  RE: https://infosec.exchange/@binaryninja/117014721507603674 Tough decision but I decided to order a commercial license at a discount today. Good opportunity to start learning something different after using IDA for 20+ years.

  My Greek cousin who regularly posts masculinist AI slop "history" content about ancient Greece has strong opinions on a movie where a sorceress who transforms soldiers in pigs, the movie wouldn't be realistic enough.

  Sometimes I read about astronomy professionals implementing network RPC protocols and I just cringe... https://ascom-standards.org/AlpacaDeveloper/Async.htm It's en vogue to use an asynchronous operation by "spinning off a thread" in which you call the method, then repeatedly poll the completion property until it becomes "complete". Meanwhile in your main logic flow you do other things that don't require the operation to have completed. Finally you come back and look...

  My software now takes pictures pretty well even if many important features are still missing.

  welp, the project worked so well with simulated devices, why is it breaking now that I test it in the wild?

  Now it has dual-camera support! No synchronized dithering yet tho.

  My telescope imaging system takes shape. It's very close to have 100% of all the features I expect from such a tool. First 90% are done, 90% remaining.

  The neat part with satellite constellations nowadays is that you don't need star maps anymore, they draw the equatorial lines in the sky

  "Math proves AI cannot evolve independently" Very interesting research that proves that an LLM alone converges to a fixed point when looping on it own output, something that most people knew without a formal proof years ago. But the commentary article below totally misses the point, in a very similar way to how evolution deniers say "it's impossible to obtain a clock by mixing particles of glass and iron and letting them form a clock by chance". Both are totally right i...

  A question I ask myself often when seeing one of these projects, is "why do you hate your users that much that you're using sourceforge to host them?" SF is trash and there are at least 3 better alternatives that aren't github.
