Out of honest interest, what workflows have you integrated ChatGPT into?

Absolutely agree. My biggest problem with AI safety is that, simply, the problem they envisage doesn't exist yet (generally, at a minimum, relying on the existence of "AGI"). Hence…

As are geologists who do “proper geology” research that aids the identification of underground oil wells. Yet it’s still relevant to point out where their funding comes from when i…

I’m pretty sure that’s fully accurate. Filippo mentioned one of his backers is the Interchain Foundation [1], and several others of his backers are at the very least cryptocurrency…

So, I have recently returned to Python development after several years out. In my first project [1], I was building on an existing library that was already using Poetry - so obviou…

As far as I know, it’s only believed that the attackers have the encrypted vaults of LastPass users. However, that does mean they can attempt to “brute force” the encryption, tryin…

But there’s also a difference between “secure” and “confidential”. Many definitions of security include integrity and availability as a properties to protect - and storing data in …

I understand your opinion about affiliate links - but I use several review websites that use such links for all products they review, and have both positive and negative reviews fo…

> almost every InfoSec stance out there Except other national bodies like NCSC [1], and long-standing academic research e.g. [2, 3], that is! 1. https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/collection/…

King of Tokyo (and it’s sequel, King of New York) were rather popular gateway/filler games (i.e., getting people into board gaming or as a quick game before/between/after a big gam…

Citation? The best I could find with a quick Google was her NYT opinion piece [1], which pretty clearly couched her statements about Delta possibly being the last surge in hospital…

That definitely wasn’t true when I developed my watch face ( https://github.com/kelnage/digital-simplicity ) - the Garmin IDE compiled it down to a single IQ file which can then be…

I believe FB is being purposely disingenuous with its statement there - using the language of user privacy and security to protect itself from third-party academic research. The au…

In one of the of the organisations I mentioned, they had a strict policy against using any GPL dependencies, let alone the AGPL. I tried discussing this with the legal policy perso…

Elastic, like others at the time, have used open source to their advantage - to start. The obvious one is that it is built around the Apache Lucene, and I have no doubt that this i…

Absolutely agree - but most good quality WP articles will include a range of references to primary literature that helps with b and c!

Perhaps they’ve learned from a recent US administration that “National Security” is a very broad brush, which is hard to contradict, and thus is an easy card to play when you don’t…

If you’re interested in knowing more about how this event and other ecological factors influenced the decline and fall of the Roman Empire (to coin a phrase...), “The Fate of Rome”…

Did you already have a Mac? Because that seems like a significant part of the process if it is stil necessary.

I provided two books as requested - an old favourite (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams) and a recent fantasy novel (The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin). My recom…

I think you probably know this, but whey is suitable for vegetarians (being a byproduct of curdling milk) - and whey-based protein supplements are often vegetarian. Vegan protein s…

It’s not at all clear how you are comparing Linux to its closed competitors, but frankly, if that’s the best example you can pick, I’d suggest copyright is largely winning that bat…

Yeah, sorry, my wording wasn’t clear. I meant that attacks exist based on not utilising appropriate validation criteria (and, for example, libsodium’s more strict criteria do indee…

This is very nice work. For those who are interested in academic work about detecting/preventing such attacks, there have been some recent papers that looked at the formal verifyin…
