No. In the early 2000s we called it security theater. Do we think that somehow they went from theater to serious? Hell no, it's all downward spiral. I constantly pen-test the TSA using humorous methods while traveling, it's a comp

"The problem is that this is both wildly overambitious and somehow incredibly myopic at the same time." Im sorry, but this is literally every single figurehead in society today.

Neat! Others have pointed out nmap, but hey, a project may look similar at first but evolve into something entirely different. For a few years I have slowly worked on a network analysis tool. It started out as a way to learn a few concepts

This is the eventual evolution of any platform that sells ads or sponsored content. Who is paying the bills? App developers and their desire to bring on customers...

Got to get more creative and less funding dependent. People still seem caught up in the old process of ideation, static creation, pitch decks. Ack! Garbage now! I only ever took funding to scale to 3-5 heads, well I have 20 heads for nearly

I didnt start my career in tech until I was 28, that was 4 years after graduating, and not from MIT. Ended up homeless for 1 of those years... Dont give up! Try to replace the doom scrolling and sulking with hobbies, I know it's hard,

While largely true, that trucks have adorned the comforts of luxury cars, most are running 6' beds. This largely ignores the evolution of the truck and the job site. My family operates contracting and excavating businesses that operati

lol what? My dad was in Vietnam, came back with drug/alcohol problems that he never shook. Whatever study/phenom you are referring to, I imagine is inflated or misrepresented. Think about culture in the late 70s and 80s, that alon

Its true. We have basically moved off the platforms for agentic security and host our own models now... OpenAI was still the fastest, cheapest, working platform for it up until middle of last year. Hey OpenAI, thank us later for blasting yo

Both require human talent, actually fairly similar talents, just in a different form. My AI dungeon master is just what you seek- but it will kill you... so you tell me if its "tripe" Lisa Simpson. https://github.com&#x

I live in a warehouse in Red Hook, Brooklyn. I venture some fairly unknown/infamous underground hacker clubs and hangouts. Its people. They have lost their edge in favor of greed.

I agree with this... having lived in all of the major cities in the US and worked in "tech" /research- I find places like Pittsburgh, or Portland(Maine), to be much much more inspiring and to contain more interesting people.

For what its worth. I recently joined "Carpokes" which is a free members only Porsche forum being run by a man hell bent on keeping it a friendly, bot-free, community. Its been great engaging in a forum again where I look at it ma

It has become more plausible that nothing of value was released and the level of obviously poor redaction was done as a tarpit to own the libs.

Same. Work provides the idiot box. I give it its own segmented network too, cause work spyware and all... then run a personal workstation with linux next door to it.

Are you using LangGraph tool nodes? I run very small, non-RLHF instruction models with maybe a 2% failure rate on response format matching tool definition. I would also guess you do not have your orchestration and pipe configured correctly.

Ya ya everything devolves into advertising. Been saying this since ChatGPT was released. Took longer than I thought, but we are only now reaching a point where we can guarantee ROI here.

You can hack together an image search with a 500k VLM and a tiny embedding model that works surprisingly well. I built a tool like this 2 years ago that I can throw a hard drive at and any and all image files are processed and searchable lo

Great comment. For what its worth, really think about your vectors before creating them! Any model can be a vector model, you just use the final hidden states... with that, think about your corpus and the model latent space and try to pair

You can vibe code a local RAG with or without vectors in 5 minutes. Like another commenter pointed out, unless your corpus is huge, you do not need vectors, but hey using vectors is fun so why not. For what its worth, I run a local first, s

I just tend to avoid anyone who attempts this position. They often have too narrow a definition of "smartest" anyways... and that is why avoiding the belief that someone is the smartest person in any given group enriches the exper
