Works great! GhidrAssist + MCP are awesome.

Buried the lede - they have not yet actually paid for it and are still raising money. As I said in the previous post about this, I support their efforts and applaud their enthusiasm. But they are making some very risky moves with their pr

To me, the turning point was the Patriot Act of the early 2000's. Everything we see today is downstream from that.

I watched the video and support the effort. They seemed earnest and genuine in their desire to do right by the brand's legacy. However, I can't help but feel that releasing this information before the deal is in place is doing the

While I was never exposed to csam or explicit violence during my time working DFIR, I saw plenty of cases where good, honest, hard working people lost their entire life savings to scammers. Some lost over $1M and never saw it again. Ten yea

Government should not be backstopping poorly run companies from the consequences of their failure to execute. That will only encourage further irresponsibility.

The only thing here I would take issue with is neglecting outcomes. The outcomes of our behaviors are what define them as good or bad, not the intent. Many atrocities have been committed by people who believed they had "good intentions

Taken literally - any sport where the goal is to injure the other. I believe the context here is mostly metaphorical - ie: don't engage in activities whose goal is to injure (physically or otherwise) another.

It's a good list. As I grow older, I find myself adopting similar standards for myself that would have seemed strange to a younger version of myself.

Unfalsifiable claims are uninteresting. Just Google the phrase "string theorists claim" and prepare to scroll through vast swaths of discarded theories.

Aside: As someone who also has a great relationship with his father, I always notice this sort of thing in others. Great work, team.

Feels vaguely reminiscent of Scott Adams' "God's Debris" which was also making the rounds in the 00's. Essentially just interesting thought experiments playing with the "what if" idea of a higher power.

Calculus 1 remained, but that's hardly enough to develop an intuitive understanding of why things behave as they do or how to begin analyzing them. But this isn't an isolated case - this has been widespread ever since the educat

Like I said in my post - this affected subsequent cohorts. My cohort did the full curriculum of calc 1, 2 and 3 (differential & multivariate calc). I was trying to preserve that for those who came after us.

I still recall (as a student) challenging the colleges' decision to drop calc 2 and 3 from my EE program almost 20 years ago because the new students couldn't pass them. I had already taken them and couldn't imagine how stude

We understand that change can be hard. But the article strikes me as a bit self serving and myopic. I seem to remember a distinct lack of compassion from the media when the steel workers and miners were all losing their jobs. The "lear

Same. I still remember almost getting suspended in high school for "hacking" the school computers in the mid 90's. Now I get paid as a security researcher. Also have genX friends who do more tangible stuff like auto mechanic

We cancelled our cable subscription 12 years ago and never missed it. We cancelled Netflix two years ago and don't miss it. Never subscribed to the others. When we built our new house 5 years ago, we didn't even run coax drops - o

eBay, Alibaba, various grey-market sellers. There's no shortage of availability if you know what to look for.

When it comes to government, it's hard to be too cynical. But in this particular case, it definitely was not a political stunt. There are a number of reasons for the limited disclosure - including NDA's signed by the governments a

Anecdotally, having done multi-year deep-dive security reviews of both Asian and Western carrier equipment (and compared notes with many colleagues working on similar efforts), there is a stark difference. It's not even close. I'v

Correct. Both the US and Canada also did similar investigations and came to similar conclusions.

The author admits to having zero experience with carrier-level infrastructure, but their suspicions are essentially correct. I actually have done a fair bit of 4G and 5G specific pentesting and security research for a number of major carri

Just for the sake of argument, what if they were just pretending to be Democrats? I think the "fair weather voter" is a real phenomenon - people are often more attached to being part of the winning team than they are to their poli

Would be interesting to learn how many other celebrities have had similar experiences but have not been caught. Given the tradecraft described, this wasn't their first rodeo.

My understanding was always that LEO is much less of a Kessler risk due to atmospheric friction - ie: in the absence of active control and regular correction, LEO objects will gradually de-orbit themselves. It's the the higher geostati

Is it possible that you're using RAG in a nonstandard way? Thousands of documents seems like a lot to feed into a single query. Have you tried using collections and tags to narrow down the field prior to performing the semantic search?
