Usually good consulting companies would hire former SWE that wants to switch to security. During interviews, basic security questions are asked, most are covered under security+ certification. But companies might skip asking them and instead ask SWE code related security questions instead. Such as how to prevent OWASP top 10 vulnerabilities. Most of the major ones are covered here https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/Glossary.html

Code review job would involve running commercial tool such as checkmarx or fortify and then reporting on issues that tool finds.

For web application testing these two sites are a good start. https://portswigger.net/training and https://www.pentesterlab.com/pro
Most web app testing is performed using this guide https://owasp.org/www-project-web-security-testing-guide/
Hands on is the best way to learn web app testing.

Companies give you 24-48 hours to test vulnerable web app. After you send them report with findings if they like they have final interview round.

Some of the better companies are ncc group, bishop fox, nettitude, google certified security companies and others. You can find them as sponsors on security meetups like bsides.

Some of the more technical ones are https://cure53.de/#publications. You can read their reports. Also https://www.trailofbits.com/

As for pay it’s decent but the ceiling is lower than SWE. Entry level positions usually make below 100, senior low 100, manager mid 100 and more senior positions are around 200. After that it’s harder to move up.

Lastly the job itself can get pretty boring at times. Code review is something most people try to avoid. It’s useful when combined with web app testing to perform greybox testing.

Web app testing can be boring as well, when testing multiple web apps in a row that were tested multiple times and not finding anything decent.

What makes up for all of that is excitement from testing newly developed or older web apps with lots of vulns, performing network pentesting and developing new tools for different projects.

It’s a great feeling when you publish a new tool and lots of people start using it and appreciate your work.
Note that, like Atari, it's not the same thing anymore. Quite the history article on wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broderbund
As long as advertisers and businesses with deeper pockets than consumers exist, even paying customers on the consumer end will end up as the product.
If Google had a reputation for maintaining projects long term and successfully and if their experimental AI models got even 1% of the hype and attention these quietly launched and massively covered and functional models like ChatGPT got, I’d think you had a point.
Having reached 1K status with United this year (many trips from SFO to IAD, LAX, EWR, ATL, and now HND at the end of the year), I do question if the status is even worth it. I feel like United (and other airline carriers) already have way more data and know how to optimize the seats so that these extra flights these passengers take gives them a bigger profit at the end. 1K status gets you early boarding and extra free checked luggage for sure but the free upgrades rarely happen, especially for popular lines like SFO to EWR.
> This article is laughable. Google already has Meena and Lambda which are the same thing and arguably superior.

If Google really has two products in-house which are better than ChatGPT, and they are not able able to make them proper products for the outside world (for what ever battles they are fighting internally) they are even more fucked.

But the funny thing is that Google already has not one but two products for the same thing.
A point to consider is what "a trillion dollar business" actually means. The math of markets forces income to match how hard it is for someone else to do some work. Take the food situation like food. Feeding someone is critical to their very existence, but cooking is such a generic skill that the margins on any restaurant get squeezed down to not so much. So even though the value of feeding someone is very high, the value add that a business can lay claim to is very low adn they don't make much money.

The threat here isn't that someone will do better than Google as much as a proliferation of cheap AI might trash the "trillion" part and replace it with "billions". If someone could cheaply bundle a search engine with a web browser or OS then Google Search is vulnerable. I mean, what if an AI model could be made small enough to work offline? How does Google make money?
Again, you are missing the point. ChatGPT has no moat, certainly not against Google.

The day first iPhone was released, Nokia management didn't know this will be big. Most of the world didn't.

By the time their sales were hurting, and Nokia management woke up, there were many years of development to catch up on.

None of this applies here. Google already has an equivalent to ChatGPT internally and could release it any day. ChatGPT doesn't have some unique data thay Google is lacking, so what's gonna stop them?
Taping together letter-sized sheets of paper just isn't the same thing as a continuous banner coming right out of your school's AV cart Apple II printer, ready for coloring. :)

The other thing thing the fanfold paper was good for was laying out a code listing on the floor, ready for marking up with pen and occasionally a straightedge.
It’s preposterous. It’s discussed here many times that they don’t need MORE. They keep begging well past the point they need, and they accumulate excessively. And despite this they seem to ignore it when I click “I’ve already donated” and keep pushing the begging. It makes me upset that I’ve donated
> it is unfit for human consumption.

Surely this is hyperbole since some of the largest open source projects consider it a viable build system. Systemd, Mesa, GStreamer, GNOME, Postgres.

Would I be correct in assuming that you are coming at this conversation having never tried Meson?
As if that has to do with anything relating to regulation?
Its only a matter of time before you can ask google search to generate an article , text, image or whatever. At that point openai becomes a bit obsolete for the common user. I bet google will provide it as a free service to further feed their trainingset with user input. A good thing? Nah I would love to see a company beating Google. But it wont happen this time.
Whilst true it seems likely that had sensor technology not evolved with point and shoots, phones wouldn't have been able to include cameras - certainly not as quickly as they did.

I’ve got a raspberry pi with two SDR radios on my roof: one receiving ASD-B and the other receiving VHF airband. I’ve always wanted to try to figure out “connecting” these sources somehow, so for example, when I detect a transmission from N12345, I can highlight that aircraft in PiAware. What is the state of the art in this area? Sounds like this Whisper holds potential.
> She's not the queen of anything

You are missing the point of subreddits like this.

The whole point is to laugh at the crazy, insane trades that people make.

And I'd say that this situation tops the charts for most wild, interesting, and funny failures of the financial world.
Its really quite interesting to see that all of these companies that make chips are having varying degrees of issues with making GPU's. Intel's arc was rumored to have some issue with its silicon, AMD's RDNA3 is this strange failure after RDNA2 shocked the world (and everyone thought they would easily build on that), and Nvidia, while successfully pulling off incredible generation to generation performance uplift with Lovelace, has Jensen telling people that the silicon for cutting edge graphics is going to be much more expensive from here on out. I'm wondering if its issues with trying to miniaturize their designs to 4nm and beyond, and if this recent issue with apple ties into the issue with sram not being able to really be miniaturized further using current industry knowledge.
I am the same way in a lot of ways, if I don't have a "problem" to work on I get in a bad place.

Amazon gives you this, or is the role just so drastically different in other ways?

It really is a form of a prisoners dilemma, and the wikipedia page for Collective Action Problem spells out the connection: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collective_action_problem#Pris...

It's easy to see how if you take an example. Imagine there is a company selling a widget that really makes your life better, but manufacturing it really pollutes the environment. If everyone buys one of the widgets, in fact, so much pollution will occur that our lives will be MUCH worse off than if we never had the widget at all. So my (and everyone else's) preference is that no one has any widgets and we don't have the pollution.

Now here is where it is a prisoner's dilemma; if no one buys a widget, the company goes out of business and there is no pollution, but I also don't end up with a widget. If everyone else doesn't buy a widget, but I do, then the company goes out of business (yay!) and there is no more pollution AND I have a widget anyway (double yay!). I get the best of both worlds - no pollution and this awesome widget. If I don't buy the widget, but everyone else does, then I still get the pollution but I don't even have a widget (the worst of both worlds). If everyone buys a widget, then we have pollution but at least I also have a widget.

Just like a classical prisoner's dilemma, I am always better off defecting. If everyone else is buying a widget, I might as well buy one, too, because the pollution is happening no matter what, might as well also get the benefit of a widget. If no one else is buying a widget, then I might as well buy one because I can have the widget AND no pollution (which is better than just having no pollution).

Everyone has this same incentive, which is why free markets don't solve pollution - it only is solved by regulation, forcing people to cooperate.
> On Windows I have never had a button just do nothing. Not for something as simple and common as formatting a flash drive.

Amusing, given the amount of times ive clicked on a defunct or near-to-failing drive in windows and either had the drive disappear, or just not do anything.

The amount of times I've seen windows do absolutely fucking nothing in response to a USB, at least linux screams into a console about it
Not in the way you‘re thinking. When googling, you very often get exactly what you searched for. The correctness lies in matching the query to the result, not in the correctness of the result‘s content.
Who is connected to market behavior? Look at Tesla’s market cap a year ago. Doesn’t seem like the mainstream is either.
Sounds about right, including downvoting my comment.
Not only that. It is not reasonable for people to e.g. test themselves if their food or drink or medicine is not poisoned. That's why laws exist. Likewise, it is not reasonable to ask an average person to consider the minutiae of standardised data interchange or open-source modem drivers. That's why laws to protect the user and to protect competition should exist.

I've had people unironically say to me (in person) "if you die from drinking tainted liquor your estate can just sue the shop; this is a deterrent so they won't do that".
One of the key exceptions is a land value tax; seeing as how land ownership by value is concentrated among the rich and powerful, taxing said land value would be inherently maximally progressive (and also happens to be close to ideal in terms of economic efficiency).

Surprise surprise, said rich and powerful have gone out of their way to not only resist implementing such a tax, but ensure that the media and education systems under their control pretend it doesn't exist.

But Google will shut it down like almost everything else that Google does. Start it up to shut it down 5 years later.
Apple had most of the OS in place when the project began. That's why, to this day, a bunch of iOS APIs start with "Nx."

Also, the reason the App Store appeared overnight was that they had been planning to use it for the as-yet-unannounced iPad all along. It was almost ready to go when the iPhone was announced; all they had to do was pivot away from the moronic "Web apps only" strategy they had been pushing for the iPhone.

So hopefully (for Google) they are in a similar position, with years of work already done. We'll find out.
I edited the title a little to fit within character limits. Let me know if that's a problem.
12 Days of Web: a year-end celebration of fundamental web technologies
After working in an SRE-type role on a codebase full of unchecked exceptions, or exceptions that are caught at the wrong levels because programmers just want their code to work - forcing the explicit handling of errors is favourable because it requires developers to think about what they really want to happen when something goes wrong at this point in the code. Whereas without it, often they will simply catch the exception and continue on silently, or re-raise it without proper context.

Conversely, sometimes there are really simple cases that are totally ignored by programmers because they forget that an exception might be thrown. The worst offender in my experience is in Python where people assume the existence of dictionary keys and get KeyError exceptions, or NoneType exceptions. Without type hints, there's no mechanism to warn you as you write the code that these things could occur. So programmers don't plan for it. If there are explicit errors, the programmer is forced to consider the case that the key they want doesn't exist, or that this variable isn't actually the type they expect (static typing helps here too).

In general, I think this prevents footguns when you are working on large programs. It's worth the verbosity.
ChatGPT's current inability to access the internet leaves Google in a safe spot IMO.

However, I don't believe Google could easily pivot and offer their own solution without cannibalizing their current model.

This exact same scenario basically played out between Facebook and Google+ social networks.
It is exactly like the paradox of voting (which I linked to in another comment). You are right that it is not an actual paradox, but it IS game theory.

There's a non-built-in solution in axeld's DriveEncryption, but it doesn't support encrypting boot disks.

Probably we should try and incorporate DriveEncryption into Haiku itself and see about adding support for boot disks... that will require some discussion and agreement on how to change the bootloaders.
I'm not familiar with the current job market, but data scientists being paid worse than developers is surprising to me considering the StackOverflow 2021 survey (in the US):

How do you insert ADs in ChatGPT style service?

Unless they are trained to give you ads first, in its current form, it is going to be super difficult to make money out of it.

It is the Reels scenario for Facebook once again. They can copy TikTok, but they more the do, the more revenue they shift from their money maker, thus losing money.

Google will have to take it slow, making ChatGPT style component in their service, while not hurting their main resource of revenue.
Geohash is one use case. Latitude and longitude address is converted to a geohash which has the nice property of nested rectangles have the same hash prefix.
I guess, the point was, you do not actually need this for a small project, and for a larger project it would look dreadfully complex.

Conveniently the entire part where SBF had an ex-CFTC commissioner lobby the SEC and CFTC to get pro-FTX bill passed in the US is not looked at: who cares about regulatory capture through corrupted officials right? (I mean: a few senator say this should be looked upon but so far it's not the case)

And the whole "FTX's top lawyer happens to be an ex-colleague of Bitfinex's top lawyer: they both worked in an online poker scam that defrauded players" is not looked at either.

Instead we go for: "SBF ordered Wang to put a backdoor in FTX so that Alameda's losses could be hidden" and case closed.

Justice.

If you think its because of the two-party system you need to do more research. I agree ranked choice is something that needs to happen, but it won't change the fundamental problem which is you have a majority of people who are easily swayed by false information who have been indoctrinated for most of their lives, who wouldn't know the truth if it bit them, and then you have intelligent rational thinkers in the slight minority, and their opposition split 1/3rd down the entire way and the politicians only listen to the majority of voices that actually show up in online/news.

They have done nothing to address the 1 person might equal 100,000 bot accounts as they did in the FCC debacle that repealed net neutrality, nor punish those who blatantly did that.

Its despicable and evil beyond measure, that was one time where inaction constituted violating oaths they swore, but that's the world we live in because the actions taken to prevent it weren't taken at a time it would have mattered because they were all friends as Chappelle says. Its a good deal.

I've been reading Thomas Paine's writings recently on Common Sense, its suprising how the common issues today almost mirror many of the problem issues of his time.
Everyone knew the stock was overvalued. The stock is now returning to sane levels.
Pratchet’s elves are like that, too - and actually is part of the reason tolkien originally tried to avoid the world elves - not because of pratchet but because that was what elves were in England.
ChatGPT is not the code red per se. but the unpredictable rate of advancement of machine learning capability. It is like mathematics where say Fermats Last Theorem could have been proved at any time* ... but unlike mathematics where proving the theorem doesn't affect anything else that much right away, an AI advance could put Google on the defensive against Microsoft or another big tech company (not so much a startup I would imagine).

* Imagine how hard it was to predict how long it would take to prove before we knew.

Rationally, you are right that voting as an individual doesn't matter (I linked the Paradox of Voting in another comment for this very reason). I still do vote, though, because there are non-rational reasons I think voting is important.

You are absolutely right, though, that pure game theory says voting is not important, and I believe that is why voting is not how we make changes to our society (at least not directly). It takes organizing.

It is also the consumer news cycle.

When a company doesn't have a yearly big flagship product launch, people assume something is very very wrong.

Let's pretend Samsung skips releasing a new Galaxy this year. Mums the word, no news at all, they just don't announce anything.

Well crap, to the average person who wants a new phone, that is scary, they want a phone that is going to be supported, not a phone from a company that might go out of business tomorrow! Or at least stop making phones.

And who wants to buy a 1 year old phone? Heck phones have a huge drop off in purchase within months after release, 6 months on the market and unless you need a phone, mine as well wait another 6 months and either get the model you're looking at on serious discount, or get something that'll last longer.

And then the tech press will go crazy with speculation! "OMFG END OF THE WORLD FOR THAT COMPANY!!!"

Ok, another fun fact, profitability of consumer electronics, at least in the US, generally relies upon holiday sales. iPhones pop out in September, which is about optimal timing for reviews to hit en-masse, to build mindshare, and have partners do their initial huge full price sales before holiday promos kick in.

Start releasing every 18 months instead and you fall off that train, your choices are pretty much 12m or 24m cycles to hit that holiday release.

If Apple open-sourced their connectors and involved other manufacturers and stake-holders, we might have had both. But the extra profits from accessories was obviously too hard to ignore.

I should have caveated that it's purely subjective. In my experience, developers write much more reliable and understandable code when they handle errors as values rather than as exceptions.
