I turned down a better paid, lower stress role recently where I would have been working with good people I liked and had worked with before. Main reason was a sense of mission. If …

In our organisation, my security team spend the majority of our effort weeding out unexploitable CVEs - which are the majority of them. But the volume is growing year on year - I d…

The TLS specifications say nothing about different traffic inspection techniques, or the relative merits of each. What specifications are you talking about?

We operate Critical National Infrastucture for financial services. We have a lot of regulatory requirements that probably don't apply to most organisations.

We use standard inspection techniques, not "cheap hacks", whatever they are. What TLS 1.3 specifications for the required inspection infrastructure are you referring to?

For me, it's that AI writing is always trying to be clever for every single point it makes (and constantly uses the same language patterns when doing so). Its like listening to an …

Except for those of us who have to do traffic inspection, which is blocked by TLS 1.3.

But its all available easily with the DRM already stripped off by the hard core pirates. My best friend used to download pirated movies all the time - because it was easier than tr…

Did not read past the manipulative attempt right at the start to make me read it. "It's an honor thing". No, it really isn't, it's an entirely dishonorable approach to your potenti…

The term guardrails in both the original physical sense and in cyber security implies a weak safety control - they can help prevent accidents, but they are not strong security boun…

> Boomer is a tricky term now - it's starting to become a generic term for old people. We Gen-Xers are used to being completely ignored as a generation. That is not new at all.

You will be relieved to learn it is also good. I have used it for years without issue - standard format for libreoffice / openoffice. It is a much better thought out document stand…

Ummm... OpenDocument, which is an ISO standard? https://www.oasis-open.org/tc-opendocument/

One would hope that only users who can already decrypt the data can perform the queries. In that case, it would give much faster query performance without allowing inference attack…

Alternatively, flip a coin, and if you don't like the result, you know what you really wanted.

And when or if they do, he will be subject to the investigation again. So... what is the point?

Farage resigned to try to avoid the parliamentary standards committee over his undeclared millions in income. He framed it as letting the voters decide. That's not how it works - i…

Not at all - we dont have to agree but i enjoyed our discussion.

I have used AI fairly extensively to help me summarise info, or to explore topics I'm not familar with. But I don't use AI text directly in anything I write for consumption by othe…

For me the core of the anti AI argument has nothing to do with form and style - although that is how AI writing can often be identified. Its much simpler - if you cant be bothered …

Agreed if its just a new API using a current language using common patterns, that is mostly just having a big context. However, the ability to reason generally on novel problems is…

I thought training new models on AI generated output leads to model collapse?

How will AIs train on new tech without new data to train on? On the bright side, maybe that means the end of new javascript frameworks every 6 months :)

Ahhh - you are talking about Adobe. I always wondered, given the never ending stream of vulnerabilities in their products, what it was about their development process that produced…
