Do you realize you're attempting to tell a moderator of the site how the guideline for the site is meant to be read?

by akerl_ 6mo ago
I didn't mean it as a zinger; I meant it as a rebuttal of the line from your comment. If you felt zinged by it, maybe it's worth considering why. You keep writing comments where you try to wiggle between it being really important

It shouldn't matter how many lies a guy tells, or how he runs his business. People shouldn't throw molotov cocktails at his house, and people shouldn't act like his behavior is potentially justification for people throwing mo

Yea, that’s exactly what I’m talking about.

It seems odd to not quote the full amendment. It’s not like it’s long. The phrasing in total is far more vague than what you’re presenting.

by akerl_ 6mo ago
When your comment is about how you can’t take your counterparty seriously and they’re a joke, you’re incentivizing people who disagree to just downvote and move on. The signal you’re sending is that you are not open to discussing the issue.

So today, most of the vulnerabilities being found by these tools are in code written by humans. Your hypothesis is that down the road, most of the vulnerabilities will be in code written by LLMs. What seems more probable is that the same ad

Is this really that much of a euphemism? It's the same idea as electric fences for dogs, except the range involved is obviously quite different.

This kind of paranoia isn't productive.

> So either nobody ever looked there (unlikely), or they did and didn't find it. Those aren't the only two options.

The “weapon” here is identifying vulnerabilities that were already present and exploitable by malicious actors?
313.
by akerl_ 7mo ago
Is your pitch that the reports are slop? Or that they’re so dangerous it’s morally indefensible to share the research?

Assuming you’re not just soliciting random thumb drives from strangers… this doesn’t feel like an actual risk. When you’re getting things from strangers, use any of the myriad ways to send files over a network, where HTTP / your browse

What misconception? You essentially admit that I'm right in this comment but surround it with a bunch of other unrelated words. If you use SSH certificates, then you have to put the SSH CA cert on each server once, and you have to give

Without even wading into trying to rank projects by track record, it's worth noting that "Everything has a poor security track record" and "All software doesn't have the same security track record" are not cont

by akerl_ 7mo ago
As `tptacek caught on to, I was joking since OpenBSD's published claim is such a convenient comparison to the idea upthread that Linux specifically had a poor track record.

by akerl_ 7mo ago
Well, except OpenBSD. They’ve only had two vulns in forever.

If your read is that this is a vanity project, I guess that's a take.

Both your examples are purchases. Musk had to raise actual capital to buy Twitter because the people getting the money were taking it and walking away. Funding doesn't work like that. Investors are giving you money as part of a longer-

Why?

I lived in an apartment building, and one of the upsides was that the building had a security system and a front desk that helped control who could be wandering down my hall.

Do we think that maybe the 3,732 people who responded to a poll on Mastodon by an account centered around one side of this disagreement might potentially not be a representative sample of all Android users?
326.
by akerl_ 7mo ago
Would you?

by akerl_ 7mo ago
This makes me think of back when people were really hyped about DAOs because technology was going to solve the problems with squishy, fallible humans.

Again, this collects usage data. If you click the button by accident and don’t interact, they get no data.

I didn’t say anything about birds or flies or ants. I have pets. They are allowed into my yard. They don’t leave my yard. If your cat enters my yard because you don’t want to crimp their free spirited wanderlust, it’s going to end up in an
