It’s a rich take to discuss illegal and immoral stances while defending a technology that literally steals previous work and uses vast amounts of power just to exist. Maybe it’s the LLM that we should consider as malware. After all, they ha

DOS systems often had hard drives. Also, floppy virus propagation is possible (aka: Sneakernet.) It was a different era entirely; Writing a TSR was a right of passage. Sometimes just getting something to work without having any other motive

Time to find vulnerabilities! I remember in the naughts, coming across a dos machine that was quite out of time… even for the university basement it was living in next to a pile of lead brick. Its only job was to run an instrument via an ho

You have made a strange logical jump. By answering your question you seem to have gleaned more about me than seems reasonable. I did state, “when I’m searching for something,” which (in my view) is different than simply being curious or wat

Sounds like a good question to ask Google (… only partially joking) There are many primary sources depending on exactly what you are looking for. Shipping/port manifests or even stats are often findable. People in the region witnessing

I don't trust facts from LLMs. When I am searching for something, I usually want to find primary sources. As soon as a number is involved, I do my best to not even look at the AI output. Even though the result is often good and combine

Except that emulating what is seen is surprisingly useful to find attack vectors. As a single deeper datapoint, one can look at more than just baseline behavior and delve into timing details to further refine implementation guesses.

IMHO, the worst thing about dual-stack is that you have to do it at all. There are translation mechanisms but that doesn’t help when you have local devices (maybe IoT?) that don’t support IPv6.

by imoverclocked 5mo ago
Despite the article title, IPv6 is not the complication. The problem is that IPv4 is incumbent and IPv6 has to live along side of it. It doesn’t matter how it’s done, the dual stack nature of expanding the addressing system will always exis

by imoverclocked 5mo ago
Underneath the hood, you are talking about v4 mapped addresses: IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses (prefix ::ffff:0:0/96) Network stacks do allow this today.

NAT requires remembering every connection pair (IPv4:port for both internal and external sides of the NAT) You don’t need more than the /64 to know where to send traffic, all of the bits required are still just in the prefix. One route

Then, let's use a different instance of the red/blue problem onto a real world scenario. Since we are talking life/death, let's even go to the extreme of fascism, just so it's clear. Voting red: In a world where fas

I guess that just underlines how reframing can really muddy or clarify a problem. The original problem can be mapped onto many varied scenarios with wildly different ethics.

There will always be someone who chooses blue. Choosing red is choosing to kill them.

The problem posted is being taken at face value by some and being interpreted outside of a vacuum for others. The reality is that we don’t live in a vacuum and the framing of red vs blue is almost certainly not an accidental alignment with

You will not live forever. Would applying the same logic again suit you? Timing matters. Where current resources go matters. Having a plan matters. The current system is not perfect but it’s far better than no system at all.
