Both, people who work with the resources of companies. Individuals can't design and manufacture smartphones. I am not a "companies are people too" person, I am actually heavily pro-regulation but like anything else fairness and justice trumps all. If android and other vendors can't compete because of apple or apple and other vendors collude against people I see your sentiment but I am very much for fairness even for the rich and powerful as well as companies not just people.
Show HN: Generate malicious CloudTrail logs with AI agents
Hi HN,

I used AI agents to simulate malicious and normal CloudTrail logs. Was playing around with automated Cloud pentesting tools (stratus-red-team) to generate attacker behavior, but there wasn't a good way to generate "noise" AKA false positives. I needed both good and bad CloudTrail logs to fine-tune my AWS anomaly detection model.

Decided to throw together a few AI agents to generate it for me. You can play around with the attack builder here: https://simulation.tracecat.com

Anybody here try using LLM agents to generate synthetic data for security analysis?

If there's interest, happy to open source the prompts and code.
It's not profit, it pays for the ones that do break... The residue from that is the profit.

No, I did my small part in contributing to the training data on Reddit though.
You code? Then you should know your personal preferences are completely irrelevant. You think 99.999999%+ of apple users care about github or Firefox OS. Why even bring it up? 'I like using these specific apps, so millions upon millions of other users must be identical to me.'.

The initial argument was completely different. This person makes companion apps simply because they don't like Apples business practices. Lovely for him I guess.. for most it makes absolutely no sense financially to ignore your customers needs based on a personal preference. Customer will just use a better, fully featured app thats not bound by the developers inflated ego.
Read up on restarting Stinger production. Retired engineers had to pitch in to train the current generation. So I wouldn't say "totally fine".
I didn't realize that. I would have posted without the Show HN tag if I had read that carefully.
Full disclosure: the results are still worse than what you would get from a manually built lab in a live AWS environment.

Tried a bunch of SOTA prompt engineering techniques. I found that explicitly defining AWS permissions and identities in the context window (we used the .tf scripts from CloudGoat) helped make the responses a lot more grounded.

The default behavior for AI agents when simulating CloudTrail logs to "plagiarize" log samples from the AWS CloudTrail docs. To avoid that, you must use some prompt engineering tricks to make the agent focus really hard on resources defined using IaC.

An "everything bubble" is called inflation.
I reckon it'd be typical of most companies, assuming at this point they haven't had widespread reports and info filtering down to individual stores that it's a known fault. If a given store has only seen this issue once to this point, they would assume it's a user accident.

Guess we'll see whether it's a fixed-for-free thing or takes a class action to get to that point.
Yeah thats fair also.

If we're thinking of the same thing, I have fond memories of those at mall department stores in the 80s and 90s.

I think Sears around '04-06 (?) was the last time I saw one of those used. I think I bought a dehumidifier or air purifier.

When they started rolling out credit and debit cards without the raised numbers I thought fondly of those and how they were definitely done for now.
More steps to extruding using multiple steps. With molds, you stick the mold onto the nozzle and you're done.

Just think about building a workbench if you were going to build it out of wood vs a mold. More screws parts and steps.

We think this is the most sustainable option because there is a cost to providing a quality service. We take a small loss on every user who cancels their free trial - more than a typical SaaS because AI models are expensive to serve.
> you might not even have a guarantee of the order of evaluation of FORMs.

However, a let based on lambda would have parallel binding. The evaluation of the forms would mainly come from the argument evaluation order of the lambda, where the macro would have to go out of its way to screw it up.

It's worth noting that Common Lisp has optional parameters. These use sequential binding like let*. So we could translate

(let* ((a (a)) (b (b))) c)

into

(funcall (lambda (&optional (a (a)) (b (b)))))

The lambda is called with no arguments, so that the defaulting takes place, and that has all the semantics we need. (We could also similarly exploit &aux).

The fact that CL's optional parameters use sequential binding kind of shows that it's the preferred mode.

The reason that the fixed parameters of lambda have parallel binding is that the values don't come from the lambda form itself, but from the arguments, which are already evaluated. So there is no way for a parameter value to be calculated from another parameter value. They come into existence at the same time.

Not so with optionals; they have default expressions, and those can refer to the prior variables.

Thus let came from lambda, and was understood in terms of fixed, required parameters. Required parameters come into the scope simultaneously, and so let variables came into scope simultaneously.
Someone should see about making a few versions for various crew compositions/landing times for the Artemis program. So you'd have one ready to go pretty much whatever happens.
In certain neighborhoods these are very common, and you can usually start to recognize them - a window a bit closer to the ground, a door at ground level instead of at the top of a short stairs, etc.

What can I say.. That is completely false, 100% false, its not an argument. Infinitely more apps have been developed in Xcode than Jetbrains IDEs and Visual Studio combined. Now and historically.

Anecdotal stories of developers watching WWDC videos for info means something? There are millions upon millions of developers who worked and created apps just fine without referring to WWDC videos.
For more context, CET and friends don't actually act as a ROP mitigation in it of themselves. CET is a coarse forward edge CFI technique. For completeness, you must pair it with both some software function type assert (prevent argument type confusion by swapping function pointers, etc.) as well as a backwards edge CFI mitigation (such as secure a shadow stack for storing link addresses). Both are quite hard problems.

ARM's Pointer Authentication extension is an interesting alternative which does all of this in one feature by cryptographically signing pointers in memory.
I have several decades in exploration geophysics, in my actual experience "forseeable future" has a long timescale, something your comment makes clear you do not think in.

Just responding to the title, but I think this is why it's important to have leadership with real "IC" experience. If leadership has an intuition for what's hard and what the failure modes are, they will be able to correctly divvy out acknowledgement more often than a "pure manager" type.
Well Vice.com destroyed themselves after the founder left and was taken over.

Ever since, they ran themselves into the ground and raised so much money all for what? Only for their website to be shut down after being bankrupt. All faster than their own deranged Twitter / X collapse predictions.

Nothing of value was lost.
At a product level, yes. The Common Criteria SKPP certification process explicitly required the operating system under evaluation to be impervious to the NSA penetration testers evaluating the system with full access to the source code and formal specification [1]. You can see the specific requirement I am mentioning on page 117.

This certification process was successfully completed for the INTEGRITY-178B operating system before the NSA allowed its use in the critical flight and weapon systems of the networked F-22 and F-35 fighter jets.

This is the same operating system in use on modern F-16, B1-B and B2 intercontinental nuclear bombers, Boeing 787 and Airbus A380.

As to the question of commercial IT systems. Haha, not a chance in hell. Every Fortune 500 company, yes the tech companys included, is on the order of 1 M$ for complete compromise. You need to add another two or three zeroes to actually present a credible roadblock.

Kagi seems to be leading the counterrevolution and I can get behind that
> Your approach leads to calling them all sticks.

No, it leads to calling them all xylophones. Or calling the metal ones metal xylophones (which I do only if I remember that "xylophone" is the wrong term) and the wooden ones wooden xylophones (which I don't want to do but am stupid enough to do).

> I knew both words when I was about 5, as we had both instruments at the back of the classroom.

Even so, remembering that different words can exist for different instruments with the same general shape but differing other characteristics (wood vs. metal bar material, in this case) is a waste of mental effort for people who have reliable eyes (like me) and don't practice those instruments (also me).

I call the piano the "piano", even though the more functionally accurate term (also more historically accurate) is pianoforte. Even though I know this, I'm still going to call the piano a piano, because I don't want to bother to remember that the word "pianoforte" exists until someone asks me "why is it called piano?" As for tomato, I've learned to accept that a tomato can be a "fruit" in some contexts and a "vegetable" in some contexts (not mutually exclusive).
The maneuverability actually doesn't make them harder to hit, they are still far less maneuverable than the interceptors, and critically they can't make course alterations en route based on sensor data to avoid an interceptor. Also, most ballistic missiles don't actually fly in dumb, parabolic arcs, they have some limited maneuvering capability. Really there are two categories of hypersonics - hypersonic cruise missiles (HCM) and hypersonic glide vehicles (HGV). HGV's are very comparable to ICBMs, it's really just the trajectory that's different, staying within the atmosphere. HCMs are dramatically slower but they actually have some genuine maneuverability and are more in the regime of aircraft SAM defenses than ballistic missile defense. It's the HGVs that these satellites are meant to counter. The issue is that interceptors need some time to launch and close the distance, and by the time a traditional missile warning system detects a relatively low flying hypersonic weapon, it's practically at the target. With in flight tracking by satellite, you can engage hypersonics at similar distances to traditional ballistic missiles.

Hypersonics really only are useful for getting past a missile defense system set up to counter traditional ballistic missiles. If your adversaries don't have such systems, or if those systems can be defeated by other, cheaper means, or if they are hypersonic defense capable, then there isn't much argument for hypersonics. Certainly it's good to have options, but assuming your military budget is finite, spending those dollars just about anywhere else will be more beneficial.

What's the market for a talented saxophone player in a major metropolitan area? It's not zero, but thanks to Spotify, it's not as big as before the advent of recorded music. Recorded music didn't just up the game, it completely changed it. Now you have ultra mega stars that make economic impacts to an area when she tours, but the market for a talented saxophone player in a major metropolitan area just isn't what it once was. I'm not arguing for labor laws, but we'll just have to see where this goes.

But people demonstrably don't want things that last, they want cheaper.

I'm not sure what appliance (or really at this point any) manufacturers are meant to do - if you're competing for the overwhelming majority of consumers price is basically the primary discriminator between products. If your competitor uses thinner steel and save $5 on price they end up at the top of all the lists, and the marketing life time for an appliance is far short of the actual product lifetime even for budget products, so by the time the difference in build quality is apparent you're long past the point of anyone writing reviews about it.

The alternative is you target low volume consumers for whom the cost is secondary concern, but that's a niche market where build quality gets even more expensive (due to low volume), and so even with huge mark up you're unlikely to make huge amounts of profit over your entire business.

If you try to target the high end of consumers (prosumer kitchen appliances?) you're competing with either gimmickware (which is low quality and low margin) or the mass producers putting "high quality" shells on their mass produced products, so they're able to make more profit than you while also undercutting you.

I know people like to blame manufacturers for making stuff that doesn't last as long, but it's consumers choosing cheaper products over higher quality ones that created this world.

Yes there is, you can just stop, what is this stupid clickbait title.

There is research into whether weight regain happens, and most (over 50%) of people keep some weight off after getting off the semaglutide (and tirzepatide).

Wrote about it here[0], and the the study linked is:

https://www.epicresearch.org/articles/many-patients-maintain...

If you look at the STEP-1 and and SURMOUNT-4 trial extensions, the registered around a 6% drop in body weight after stopping.

Price needs to go down and availability needs to go up, but the narrative around people regaining all their weight back after stopping is silly.

Most importantly of all, people on these drugs might have a way to finally escape problems of food addiction because the effects are also psychological.

That said, there are certainly side effects, the drugs aren't magic -- they don't work for everyone and they are expensive (right now), etc. The fearmongering is annoying though.

Even from the article itself:

> A commonly cited 2022 study funded by Novo Nordisk
, the manufacturer of Wegovy and Ozempic, found that patients regained two-thirds of their lost weight a year after they stopped taking semaglutide, the main component in the medications. Wegovy is approved for obesity treatment. Ozempic is approved for Type 2 diabetes, but many people take it off-label for weight loss.

So... People kept 1/3rd of the weight they lost off for a year?! This should be lauded.

I've had a pretty easy time transitioning from one-to-one to one-to-many by just keeping the old 1-1 mapping, renaming it as the "primary" option, and then adding a list of secondary options. All of the old functionality continues to work, and any new stuff that needs multiples can operate on "[primary] + secondaries".
This is a shallow take. Teenagers are copying bits for their own gratification. OpenAI built a fascinating tool that enables other people to create things by transforming bits.

Put another way, one group enables people to make things. The other does not.
I’m not sure I agree it’s hard to create specific things. The tooling, imo, feels infant, but promising. And it can layer upon itself.

Right now control net can do pretty good character pose control, but you have to make the pose. Well… next step is to generate the pose with a request. Same for faces.

I worked for Southwestern Bell in the 90s pre-SBC (aka just before remote terminals and dslams became common). COs handled mid-tens of thousands of lines in big cities, for smaller more rural areas they generally covered a single town or less often there were a few in a county where the full county was under 50k people.

In towns, we generally tried to keep loop lengths under 30k feet, but in rural areas that simply wasn’t possible. You’d often find remnants of party line systems in those areas and definitely load coils out the wazzoo. It was “fun” unwinding all that crap to install ISDN circuits and later DSL.

I remember the old hats at the time laughing about VDSL saying “leave it to the nerds to dream up some unrealistic shit where the loop length can be at most 2k feet, where does that exist!?” not realizing a few years later RTs and DSLAMs would mean a significant portion of city and suburban customers would be.
