It is just as much the appropriate view now as it was in the 90s. Attackers are not idiots. Once you have the commit, it is usually pretty easy to figure out, even just having the binary diff is usually enough.

Once the commit is public, the cat is out of the bag. Being coy about it only helps attackers and reduces everyone's security.

Everyone getting income passively is not going to work for society in general. Work still needs to happen. Until we live in a post-scarsity society, if nobody works then everything collapses. That's not to say that passive income is im

I live in canada with free health care. People are always complaining about how we are much less entrepreneurial than our southern neighbours. Maybe free health care would help, but i think its kind of minor compared to other factors.

I think its pretty obvious that "sit on a beach" is a metaphor for being able to do whatever you want not literally sitting on a beach for the rest of your life. At the same time, you guys really can't imagine relaxing on a b

Or more generally, just doing whatever you want. I dont think anyone literally wanted to sit on a beach 24/7 365 days a year. However plenty of people would want the ability to just wake up one day and on a whim fly to a hawaii until t

> Housing costs have outpaced inflation In fairness though, given inflation is the average, housing costs outpacing means something else underpaced.

I don't think there was ever a time where a solo-entrepenur could make real money without putting in lots of effort and taking lots of risks. We remember the success stories, we don't remember the bankruptcies.

Well yes, you get what you pay for and if you are on the free plan don't expect much. I dont think this is limited to big tech.

So its just embeding some files in a satalite tv broadcast stream? I dont think that helps that much. If you have satalite tv going in, you already have video coming in, are arbitrary files really that much more useful? The thing people rea

Its no different then if you ask a friend (who is not your lawyer) for advice. You can ask anything you want, it just only gets the special protection if it is actually your lawyer.

At this point everyone who cares about anna's archive already knows about anna's archive. If the goal is to eventuallu get their domain siezed (forcing them to get a new one and confusing existing users), they probably don't

Sure, i guess i should have said something like with a polynomial circuit size or something. However by the same token couldn't you use the same brute force approach with exp minus log? What im really asking, are NAND gates really diff

> Elementary functions typically include arbitrary polynomial roots Admittedly this may be above my math level, but this just seems like a bad definition of elementary functions, given the context.

I'm kind of doubtful that AI is all that great at fuzz testing. Putting that aside though, we are talking about web browsers here. Security issues from bad specification or misunderstanding the specification is relatively common.

by bawolff 7mo ago
Sure, but that is what we've been doing since the early 2000s (e.g. aslr, read only stacks, static analysis, etc). And we've had some succeses, but i wouldn't expect any game changing breakthroughs any time soon.

I dont think that will ever be possible. At some point security becomes - the program does the thing the human wanted it to do but didn't realize they didn't actually want. No amount of testing can fix logic bugs due to bad specif

To be clear, the most sexual thing that happens in this game is that two characters almost kiss, but are interupted by a third character before it happens. The romance in this game is about as explicit as a disney movie. The controversy is

Which is really sad. Video games with dehumanized violence: a-ok. Video games that show you the actual consequences of violence, well that is a bridge too far. Perhaps soiety would be better if it was reversed.

I think its reasonable to know what you are getting into before you buy. E.g. if i'm planning family movie night, i probably don't want an R movie. There is nothing wrong with R movies its just sometimes not what I'm looking
