It could certainly be that, which would possibly lend some credence to the idea that "mass over-response" could be a viable solution to spam, wouldn't it?

I hope so. And thanks for reading it that far!

i got one phone call (which is not their normal m.o. in my case) a few hours after sending my reply. I knew it was a follow-up to my text reply story when he said "I'm the one who contacted you at.. the company you are at .."

I did not set out to write an enjoyable, well-crafted narrative satirical sci-fi short, complete with escalating story arc and subplots of political intrigue, possible murder-for-hire solicitation (and more!) nor did I really expect my repl

Yes, this... I hope the irony is not completely lost on the fine folks at semgrep that the admittedly "overkill" suggested semgrep solution is exactly the type of pattern that leads to this sort of vulnerability: that of executi

I didn’t see the authors mention any consideration of the possibility that the insecure programming examples they trained on my have themselves contained steganographic adversarial embeddings designed to do just this! “bro, my study totally

The insidious intrusion of so-called Smart Punctuation into note-taking apps, unformatted text editors, and message compositors to silently and invisibly alter your text input is bad UI and horrible UX.

If it outputs DOT, I can recommend you visualize your graphs with PHART ( https://github.com/scottvr/phart/ ) I’m mostly kidding but incidentally PHART was born in order to visualize Python dependency graphs in-li

Same happened to me, but by the time they gave me my account back (though now “unverified”, even though I had to scan my DL for them to unsuspend my account - and even though I was premium and verified before the suspension btw - though th

I swear this isn’t an “rtfm” dig, but in the case that this report of flickering is the first you’ve been made aware of it (and so you haven’t dug into it yet) I recently had to deal with this when experimenting with WebGL for the first tim

They reference an earlier analysis from PwC that does show some decompilation pre and post deobfuscation. https://www.pwc.co.uk/issues/cyber-security-services/insight...

So what I was suggesting is I guess a detector of compiled (lol and possibly in need of deobfuscation now that I think of it, but that’s apparently a solved problem) code that generates the type of code you mention, in order to find a copy

They mention that they do not have access to the threat actor’s obfuscating compiler itself, but while reading the analysis it occurs to me that given they have released a purpose-built deobfuscator, that they could certainly develop a Sc

For the lulz, I pasted the first two sections into a few “LLM Detectors”. I was not expecting such wildly varying results, which puts this comment more into the irrelevant tangent category than any sort of reliable commentary, but since I h

Optician and Boomerang are exactly what I read up on during my excursion down the rabbit hole. And I was quite surprised that to the best of my recollection I had never heard of Augeas before. Thank you for the rest of the links!

Sorry it wasn’t more clear; I’ll have to update the docs to make it more obvious. But in the README, specifically in this section here https://github.com/scottvr/chimeracat/?tab=readme-ov-file#cl... , if you clic

I have a tool that I made to aid in pair-programming with LLMs that your question has caused me to realize that said tool’s reporting (without making use of its code summarization and concatenation functionality) might be useful to folks s

Hey, just wanted to come back from the rabbit hole you lead me to the entrance of and thank you for introducing me to lenses in the context of code; I was unfamiliar.

while I hope you mean it is hilarious in the same spirit that I write most of my stuff (“ludicrous” is a common phrase even in my documentation), I did want to ask that if you meant that in more of a disparaging way, that you could flesh

i guess I shouldn’t be surprised that many of us have approached this in different ways. it’s neat to see already multiple replies of the sort I’m going to make too, which is to share the approach I’ve been taking, which is to concatenate

I can’t help but have the thought that the Joel_McKay in this conversation is itself an LLM having been prompted to flippantly disregard and downplay mentions of a.i., and LLMs specifically. I’m not saying it is true , but I am saying it ma
