I just stumbled upon https://infocondb.org "the site that catalogs and cross-references hacker and infosec conferences! Currently indexing 16,883 presentations by 12,159 presenters, spanning 1,164 conferences." I can't believe I didn't know about this sooner! So cool. You can even click links […]

I was presented with the most ridiculous toy programming exercise at an interview last week. The role was a *security* *team lead* - not a developer. There were ~20 minutes left with plans to do this programming exercise and one other. That's an average of 10 minutes to try to understand this […]

Laugh at Trump’s ridiculous innumeracy, sure. But the commander of the world’s most powerful military is responding to relevant questions about the laws of armed conflict by claiming that the existence of drug deaths in general permits him to kill anyone he feels like, which is very serious.

Firing liberals over stuff right-wingers get away with every day is truly honoring Charlie Kirk's legacy.

So #proud 🥲. My son was prompt injecting the FIRST robotics chatbot. #promptinjection #robotics

Am I angry about the SCOTUS decision today that basically lets ICE ask for your papers like goons in a police state? You bet I am: www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

You remember when everyone (including AI firms) claimed that "Hallucinations" would soon be saved and I got so much shit for arguing that they are a structural property of LLMs? Now OpenAI releases a paper stating the same and just gets to move on (with all its sycophants). Really fucking […]

Android will *not* be getting most of the Unicode 17 updates. Some of its fonts are over a decade out of date - and Google refuses to re-use its own Noto font stack. I've raised the issue at: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/366415133 If you're a Googler please ask someone to prioritise […]

Democracy in the US is under serious threat by a deranged orange comestible, but you wouldn't see any signs of that from watching the absolutely delusional stock market, which seems to only care about AI stocks continuing to lift the entire market thanks to their outsized value in it and all the […]

Because #scotus is not explaining its #shadowdocket rulings, #judges lack any meaningful guidance for future cases, GSU #law prof Anthony Michael Kreis said. "Even the judges who enjoined the government in the very case before the Supreme Court are sometimes left confused about what, if […]

it appears the same attackers also compromised the JavaScript package duckdb (~350k downloads a week): https://www.aikido.dev/blog/duckdb-npm-packages-compromised

You know what authentication I really hate? Passwordless authentication, you are forced to use. Especially when it requires you to login *every* *single* *time* you access a site! That's a lot of waiting and clicking "refresh" on your email waiting for a code. This is not more convenient or usable.

Anyone seen disclosure on what password hashing algorithm Plex uses on their back end? There are three kinds of org postures relative to disclosure of password-hashing algorithm: 1. Orgs confident enough in their selection of algorithm that they _know_ that there is no harm in disclosing it […]

One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review.

In this newly disclosed #curl security report it is painfully obvious how the user's "clever" idea of using an AI to write the report made the report into a impenetrable wall of text instead of simply stating the problem in a few coherent paragraphs. https://hackerone.com/reports/3324901

What's going on at #amazon? That prime email caused me to waste a bunch of my time... It should never have been approved to send. There was no clear call to action. Lots of words but no clarity on what's changing other than the name.
