    When's the last time you had a drink with a straw and you blew into the straw to make the bubbles?

    Today's the day you do it once more!

  5. Beat the heat the best way imaginable: no soggy shorts, no nasty elastic straps cutting into your neck, shoulders or waist, and free of post-swim, damp synthetics soaking your bits and promoting annoying UTIs. Simply put: Go bare and enjoy the seaside freedom!

  6. This is yesterday's #ThoughtOfTheDay -- but this time without the colour check boxes along the top margin.

  7. Love dark themes, easier on the eyes, power-savings on phone, etc...
    So I painted an area behind my tv matt-black and the best small quantity of that, which I could find, was chalkboard paint.
    I grew up with chalkboards, holders of pictures, equations, poems and so much more and pondered on what a great invention they were/are -
    you create something on it and with the wipe of a wet sponge erase it all and start anew until you arrive at an adequate/brilliant outcome that you'll leave alone for a while to take in or admire.
    A bit like our lives.
    We forget, at times, that we can clean our slate and start again.

  8. The older I get, the less I know. This is a good thing, I think.

  9. @PoliticalCartoon Trump doesn't sign his messages "Thank you for your attention in this matter" he signs every one as "Thank you for your attention *to* this matter"

    Although... it would be interesting to see if his private encrypted messages could have the encryption broken by him repeating the same line at the end of every message, like how Alan Turing broke Nazi encryption because the end line of every message was always "Heil Hitler!"... 🤔

  10. I feel anyone that begins their comment with "ChatGPT tells me" can safely be ignored.

  11. Reading up on integrating cloud-based LLMs to #KaliLinux and I am not quite sure who would sign this off for actual security assessment work. I can't see any client agreeing to potentially leaking information to Anthropic or other online LLMs. Also, the risk of actually doing damaging actions on a vulnerable system is way too high.

    As the usefulness of any online AI integration is quite limited for actual project work, what could it be used for? For training, maybe?

    Or maybe it is intended for some AI believers who don't see any risk associated with sending sensitive information to random cloud services?

    It would be possible to run a fully local model, of course, but that is far more limited in quality and capability than online ones. It would also still retain the risks of exploiting vulnerabilities in a damaging way.

    I, for one, am not signing up to vibehacking.

  12. Working with #LLMs both at work and at home make me reconsider the usual #developer approach to problems.

    We should probably let go of reaching for deterministic results and instead become true engineers and implement #DemingWheel: Plan-Do-Check-Act.

  13. Often we strive for perfection because we don't know when we're happy.

  14. From viscous resin in a bottle to high-detail thermoset parts, vat polymerization materials are all about laser-curing chemistry, smart post‑curing, and understanding cost vs performance.

    At WOW3D Learning, we unpack what’s really inside those resin bottles so you can choose the right material, manage shelf life, and design stronger 3D printed parts.

    Will #POTUS47 make #POTUS be known as:

    Pedophiles-in-crime👉: Allen, Clinton, #Epstein, Gates, Maxwell, Rose, ...🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

  16. It was interesting to read up on the AI assisted code review at lesswrong.com/posts/7aJwgbMEiK

    For context: I'm personally responsible for at least 29 curl CVEs. Out of the recent 6 CVEs mentioned in the blog post I found two. This gives me some perspective, I think.

    I do not utilise AI tools in my vulnerability research. I am also fiercely critical of harmful proliferation of AI. This is due to the unsustainable way it is currently pushed, and use of as marketing ploy and gimmick rather than producing measurable benefit to users. This leads to negative impacts on economy, education & learning, not to mention impacts to nature due to wasteful use of energy.

    This doesn't mean I am against AI. I have written by own AI tooling (fully local RAG with support for arbitrary number of models running on local nodes, implemented in python). I found the usefulness of such tool to be limited at best. It is somewhat useful in mass analysis of large document bases, but the level of analysis is superficial at best. These AI models are after all just language models, and do not have any true understanding or intelligence.

    And here is the gist of it: The current tools are not intelligent. Understanding this limitation is the key of successful deployment and utilisation of AI tools. The tools can be useful in certain tasks, but they do not replace true intelligence.

    The AI tooling AISLE are developing certainly is one of the better uses of AI, and definitely surpasses all my personal dabbling around it. It is clear that the tool does find vulnerabilities. The key question is how much hallucinations and false positives it produces: If the tool generates thousands of FPs and the true findings are hidden among them this limits the value and usefulness of the tool (of course it doesn't entirely negate it, many tools produce false positives). In short: The quality of the findings is key, and poor signal-to-noise ratio is highly undesirable.

    Either way, I think there is a future for AI tools and they definitely will be helpful in vulnerability research.

    I personally will keep exercising my wetware for this work, however.

  17. An anagram of soup is opus, which can mean a work of art, and I think that nicely sums up what soup is at the end of the day.

  18. just saw someone vaping while riding her electric bike. that's fully embracing the modern world. hybrid humanoids. are those people's lives fully battery powered? are friends electric?

  19. A lot of the worlds problems could be solved if humans could grasp the concept that ‘just because you can doesn’t always mean you should’

  20. While it is possible to overthink a situation, to over analyze, to spend too much time in mental activity and not enough in physical, that really isn't an overweening problem in a society filled with screens.

  21. I wonder how popular you'd be on social media if your profile picture was some vomit.
