   To be clear creating your own custom IDs isn't the same thing as being a CNA, but some of the motivations are the same.

   I've been planning a similarly "paranoid" (but apparently not that paranoid) Tailscale setup, for the same reasons. Another concern I have is whether a compromise of Tailscale's own infra could let an attacker just add i

   Another peeve I have with this type of input is when entering the last digit automatically submits the form. Once I fat-fingered the last digit and was about to hit backspace, but it was too late, the form submitted and verification failed.

    There are documented instances of LLMs casually using LPEs in order to achieve an objective: https://xcancel.com/sluongng/status/2060746160558543217 And that's without anything like prompt injection happening

    web.archive.org being blocked is alarming! Which ISP? (I'm also in the UK, with Virgin Media, and it isn't blocked for me)

    I've been noodling with porting the kernel exploit to other devices, and the exploit is very sensitive to how the compiler happens to lay out stack frames, which varies between kernel builds. Once you figure out the right "stamp m

    Take any existing article you find insightful and then ask an LLM to "rewrite it, but make better and more engaging". The result is likely "good + slop", assuming the actual content is preserved.

    Regarding 1, I think a) a sizeable fraction of voters are not able to recognize AI-generated text b) many who notice don't care, or are willing to overlook it if the premise is interesting enough. (The latter is true for me, on occasio

    It's incredible how cheap it is to get custom PCBs made at prototype scale these days, even ones with advanced features. It feels like we're living in a golden era of custom manufacturing.

    The medium is the message, which is especially true when it exists as content-marketing for their anti-anti-scraping product for AI companies to use to improve their ability to emulate blogs, among other things.
