We focus too much on details and not the overall picture. If you're a parent, one factor matters more than any other: the parents' emotional health determines the children's emotional health. Whether the parents have secure a

'It's worse for our users, but easier for our developers' is an unacceptable tradeoff, they deserve the backlash.

You are far too empathetic to them. They should not hold the jobs they have. These are the people writing React monstrosities for government benefit websites, and testing them on fast iPhones and fast 4G, without realizing that every page l

I wonder how well Apple has deployed these tools internally for security research. Since mid-April Chrome showed 302 vulnerabilities patched, 225 of them found by Google. Same period last year was 19 vulnerabilities. They've also becom

Anything can be turned into emotion-provoking content. That's circular. It's like saying: "viral things go viral, so if you assume no thumb on the scale, then there was no thumb on the scale". Occam's Razor can hide

Yeah, the pain/reward ratio is against vibecoded replacements for mature tools. Piracy is cheaper than tokens. But over the next 5 years I expect a growth in Blender-like open-source projects aiming to take on the big closed-source ele

So far, Google has been better than Apple at treating AI as a technology/feature and not just a product. Staying on hold for you. Google Lens on that coat or bag. Warning you in the middle of a text convo with a stranger, if the conver

"Routed to a human" is what the suicide hotline numbers do. OpenAI employees are neither trained nor credible to do that stuff.

It is not desirable to have mass adoption of DNSSEC, or to try to incentivize that.

The second half of your comment is a go-to-market concern but doesn't feel so relevant for a research prototype. It could be done with a private local model too, maybe not by Google. But I don't think the voice problem is surmount

That's probably all the hardening the average person needs. BlockBlock because most malware tries to get persistence. Little Snitch or LuLu for fine-grained whitelisting of network requests for any apps that have plugins (e.g. you give

These models demonstrably have good vulnerability research capabilities. I'm sure their marketing department is ecstatic but you guys are far more hype-based than what you're calling out.

Sure. macOS, iOS and Windows have local model APIs for third-party devs. Chrome is trialing it. Firefox uses models to generate alt-text, but no API. In theory it's useful. If devs can rely on local models, it's more private and

Reading that Canonical thread was jaw-dropping. Paraphrased: "Rust is more secure, security is our priority, therefore deploying this full-rewrite of core utils is an emergency. If things break that's fine, we'll fix it :)&qu

Am I crazy, or was this press release fully rewritten in the past 10 minutes? The current version is around half the length of the old one, which did not frame it as a "simplification" "grounded in flexibility" but as a

I wish Apple released incident reports in cases like these. I hate that their secrecy obsession extends so far beyond hardware.
