HR: 1187 at Hunterwasser. Candidate: That's the hotel. HR: What? Candidate: Where I live. HR: Nice place? Candidate: Yeah, sure. I guess. Is that part of the test? HR: No. Just warming you up, that's all.

> No, they are not. Doesn’t matter how many LoC; it only take 1 LoC to introduce a vulnerability. So according to you, the concept of attack surface doesn't exist. A 100MB binary is equivalent in risk to a 1KB binary. Got it. If bo

It's not a complete agentic setup until your chain of command goes at least nine levels deep.* I want my C-suite and V-suite LLMs to feel like they earned their positions through hard work, values, and commitment to their company. * =

It's really cool to see projects like this designed for dropping in assets from the proprietary version. The separation in the first place is unfortunate, but at least the capability exists. Civ III in my opinion had some of the best a

Yes, the two are very different in that regard. WireGuard is 4k LoC and is very intentional about its choice of using a single, static crypto implementation to drastically reduce its complexity. Technically speaking, it has a lower attack s

Good defense is layered. For vulnerabilities, complexity usually equals surface area. WireGuard was created with simplicity in mind. > So, the alternatives to ssh you suggest are all reliant on passwords but ssh, in the case, is based on

Best practices usually call for not exposing the SSH endpoints to the public internet. The principal risk is vulnerabilities in the underlying SSH server implementation. Historically, critical flaws that can compromise you are few and far b

The most unrealistic part here is that you're assuming they can even find their desired firmware manager on the org chart. Moreover, most executives don't require blackmail; they tend to go along to get along.
