By malware I meant something that broke the sandbox and gained deep access to the system. Ad ware and slop is a problem and I guess could count under the malware umbrella but it’s much less worrying than an exploit being able to read data f

The parent comment isn’t about remote attestation. It was a claim that since the iPhone isn’t bulletproof then all security must be pointless. When the reality is the iPhone is actually quite a good example that great security is possible w

The iPhone has two main security systems to counter this, one being lockdown mode which disables USB data while the device is locked, and the other is the iPhone will reboot itself if it hasn't been unlocked for long enough. This puts

The iPhone is actually working really well. There has never been a widespread malware attack on the iphone. Only highly targeted attacks on individuals. And Apple even has an answer for this as well with Lockdown mode which renders all of t

I'm not so pessimistic. There is an infinite amount of work that could be done. No one would have entertained the idea of rewriting a project in Rust before this. It hasn't replaced anyone's actual job and they still had to h

I've observed that dumber models are able to vibecode in safe languages a lot easier since the compiler errors can self correct the models hallucinations, while they end up marking a task as complete in dynamic languages despite it not

DOGE was the fox declaring they want to protect the security of the hen house. The stated mission on it's face was fine and needed, but the individuals involved had no interest in acting it out.

For me it was when he called the cave diver a pedo for disagreeing with him. While (unknown to us at the time) begging Epstein to invite him to the island. His moral compass was shown on that day and so far he’s just leaned further in to th

The deaths happened because the funding was yanked immediately without time to reorganize and re-source funding elsewhere. Rather than being slowly wound down with with enough warning time. Elon Musk's actions killed hundreds of thousa

Because they don't ask it like that. It'll be "Woke communists want to confiscate the money of enterprising businesses." Combined with some AI generated video of the right to repair supporters laughing in an evil way or

The rest of the world either has no money to pay for this stuff or cares even more. You think the average European or Australian loves Elon's racist tweets? The people who "don't have the luxury" are using cheaper Chines

You might not care but I care if my money is going to funding an unusually evil person.

If you are worried about someone breaking in to your house and replacing the bootloader while leaving your drives in place I probably wouldn't use the TPM auto unlock even if in theory secure boot should be able to handle this. But in

The LLM is not fixable. Deleting the LLM or crippling it to the point of being useless isn't fixing the bug.
525.
by Gigachad 4mo ago
This isn’t a normal software bug, it’s not fixable in the same way you can’t fix regular support staff from being tricked. The answer is you should not allow LLMs access to untrusted input and sensitive data at the same time.

The proposed Apple system was at least more restrained in that it was looking to identify known abuse images. Which is better than the Google one which aims to identify new unseen content which constantly flags parents acting legally sharin

So the average person is having to set up an air gapped system to store normal family photos while while Epstein's clients and co conspirators communicate over plain text Gmail and for some reason we can't do anything about it.

E2EE has UX issues that are difficult to paper over aside from just legislation issues.

There was a meme going round of a network diagram that layers a Chinese firewall behind a US firewall behind a Russian firewall so they can all block each other countries backdoors.

Personalised routes is not really much different than uber pool. Maybe the government should run a public version of this. But I think there will always be some trips that are so low volume (particularly late at night) that it makes sense t

The first link is a propaganda website so not really much use, and for the second one, pretty much all fatalities on bikes are the result of being killed by distracted drivers. >The US has eight times as many pedestrian deaths per mile a

That's already a huge number. But it's ignoring the much larger issue of distracted drivers, usually on their phone.

I imagine the ideal situation would be a hybrid. Trains for the bulk of transport and self driving cars for the large tail of odd trips. When you want to get home from your friends house at 1AM there is no traffic on the roads, and taking P

In this scenario anyone who "should" have their license would never trigger this warning in the first place so it wouldn't be an issue.

by Gigachad 4mo ago
It only sounds like overreach because we have become numb to an incredible amount of killing from distracted drivers.

by Gigachad 4mo ago
It's for the benefit of everyone else around you so you don't kill them while flying down a street scrolling instagram reels.

I suspect owning a car will become increasingly rare as self driving improves. You'd take public transport for the bulk of trips with self driving cars for odd routes / late night trips PT doesn't cover.

I've heard China has something similar where you need an electric vehicle to drive in many city centers. Part of a huge effort to fix air pollution issues.

These days it’s probably all CI automated. So your Xbox updating probably means dependabot bumped some package automatically and it got built and deployed despite zero end user impact.
