A bank could add security drills into the contract with the customer. It's a kind of training so it could also get some good press.

Add some credits (maybe real money) if a customer reports correctly the phishing to the bank instead of ignoring it or falling for it? The downside could be a lot of pressure on the security related part of customer service so they should plan to get only a few reports per day.
I'd heard the solution involves getting Jonny Lee Miller and Angelina Jolie to help you hack the Gibson, but it's been a while and maybe that's out of date.

> Stoll always struck me as nothing more than an opportunist with little actual technical acumen who happened to be in the right place (a university computer lab) at the right time (dark ages of computer security, and the last decade of the cold war).

The kinder and more accurate interpretation is that he was an ordinary (ordinary-ish: I mean, he was a PhD working in a national lab) guy who dealt with an extraordinary situation with persistence and curiosity, and then wrote about it.

I've observed that Cliff gets a lot of respect from a lot of security people who are normally quite combative because he never pretended to be a security genius - and he's a lovely, brilliant person in his own way.

> he could hardly do anything to actually prevent the unauthorized accesses he dramatized, and I wonder if he even would have discovered them had his adversaries cared more

That his adversaries were also ordinary (ordinary-ish: how ordinary are you if you're selling secrets to the KGB?) made the story that Cliff wrote more compelling, not less.

He was well connected, especially his parents. Huge political donor. He likely would have recieved a small sentence and somewhat validated my doubt had he not purgured and witness tampered during the trial.
I don't like the incentives that creates. Private prisons and the existing prison labor system are bad enough.
For me, I felt the same way initially, but I found it depends on the case. The case you gave is probably now one I would do, I would probably have the external be 'for' if I expected the caller to pass in a list that I was gonna iterate over inside of the method.

An example I like to use to show when and how I used it. I have been playing with Metal. If I write a function called translate, I will have it's external parameter as 'by' with the internal parameter being 'vector'. As a simple example:

func translate(_ origin: simd_float3, by vector: simd_float3) -> simd_float3 {
// do some stuff
}

let newVector = translate(originalVector, by: translatingVector)

LLMs cannot determine the physical location of any atoms. they cannot plan movement, and so on.

LLMs are just completing patterns of text that have been given before, 'everthing ever written' is both a lot for any individual person to read; but also, almost nothing, in that to propertly describe a table requires more information

text is itself an extremely compressed medium which lacks almost any information about the world; it succeeds in being useful to generate because we have that information and are able to map it back to it

Just to add a few more things about PHONK:

- PHONK is a full dev environment that lives within the phone / tablet

- The Web Editor is hosted inside the device and served using a web server. So no 3rd party servers / cloud needed.

- It can access the device sensors in a couple of lines of code

- Has support for Websockets, MQTT, OSC, Midi, Bluetooth, Bluetooth BLE, NFC and more in a very concise way

- You can connect an Arduino straight to the phone with a USB OTG cable and communicate with it

- UI uses normalized coordinates, which is very handy for prototyping. It comes with a variety of views for most needs. You can also create a custom one.

- There is live code execution from the Web Editor. Just select the code => Control (or CMD) + Shift + X and that code will be live executed.

- PHONK comes with a Console, so you can console out wirelessly to the Web Editor.

- It comes with OpenStreetMaps support by default

- More advanced 2d and 3d graphics can be done through Processing which is included as a library.
The point is not that people were wrong but they were wrong because they had knee-jerk, lazy takes that should be disparaged.

I also know that the some of the people making these kind of takes have already pivoted to another knee-jerk, lazy take along the lines of "well, he ripped off rich people".

I'd actually appreciate it if anybody who made the original statements about Democrats not prosecuting SBF would come on and admit they were wrong.
Presumably the school administrators would only implement such a policy after they know the supermajority of parents are on their side.
He gets out at 51. Somewhere around there with 25 year sentence at 31 with credit for time served.
Zoning and protests over zoning exists in the US too. I wonder why the netherlands remain so restrictive however especially given a housing crisis and not as much of a need for agriculture land today as in centuries past.

Ostensibly the same thing as after a 22 year sentence, just later.
It's pretty mediocre. But usable. DECT was much better but our company wanted to remove the avaya PBXes from all sites.
A lot of people confuse cynicism with wisdom, and that sets people up to be susceptible to bigger problems. For example, if you believe the legal system is corrupt and dysfunctional, it’s very easy to passively tune out and not support reform efforts because you think they’re pointless.

We see this a lot in politics where accusations of corruption are used to conflate people who are orders of magnitude apart – a good example of that are the recent classified documents investigations where some faux-sophisticates tried the “both sides do it!” excuse without recognizing the difference between immediate compliance and protracted resistance on contrived grounds.
Antihistamines that cross the blood brain barrier make people feel stoned or tired because histamine does something entirely different in the brain from what it does in the rest of the body.

Seems like there's a lot of code reuse in the brain. It operates almost like a different sort of biology encapsulated within an animal body.
What lives did he ruin?

The USA has an incredibly robust, tightly monitored and regulated financial market. The SEC, FDIC and associated regulators and auditors carefully control bank reserves, prosecute insider trading, prevent and insure against fraud.

Some people decided to opt-out of that system and send their money to an unregulated entity in the Bahamas to buy imaginary money without government oversight.

Honestly the government shouldn't have intervened here at all. The people who lost money should have been laughed at and told that's why you put your money in the regulated market. If you intentionally try to avoid taxes, anti-money laundering regulations, audits and securities law by buying crypto overseas, then taxpayer resources don't go bail you out.
> I’ve lost more data by forgetting passwords than I care to admit

This is a you problem. 100 percent PEBKAC.

I've been encrypting every backup, local and cloud, and plenty of other things, for probably 30 years. I've done my share of restores, and have never lost the only key to anything I later wanted back. That's true even though I have forgotten a few passwords, because I had failsafes for that situation.

This requires memorizing only three or four long passwords, which change very rarely, plus a little bit of discipline and occasionally some maintenance of your archives.

On the other hand, putting something somewhere, like some cloud service, without seeing all the implications, is a mistake that's easy to make and hard to clean up. Storing stuff in the cloud in the clear en masse is an insane thing to make into a normal part of your routine.
Can you provide some examples to back this up?
What is the goal of the punishment?

If it is to harm him and make the rest of the world satisfied with it 25 years behind bars seems enough to me, I don’t care if it is 25, 35 or 155. In five years I will have forgotten about this.

If it is stopping others, same thing, I don’t think that if someone is determined to do something similar would care about 25 or more years.

> It is long enough to destroy his life.

Hardly. Milken was sentenced to 10 and served 2. SBF will serve 7, at which point he'll still be under 40.
Analogue circuits can be a real pain in the butt, imagine if integer overflows destroyed the whole ALU, haha.

Transistors are already much smaller than neurons. And of course the brain doesn’t have a clock. And neurons have more complex behavior than single transistors… The whole system is just very different. So, this doesn’t seem like a strategy to get past a boundary, it is more like a suggestion that we give up on the current path and go in a radically different direction. It… isn’t impossible but it seems like a wild change for the field.

If we want something post-cmos, potentially radically more efficient, but still familiar in the sense that it produces digital logic, quantum dot cellular automata with Bennett clocking seems more promising IMO.
If banks would spend money on this and not enabling support for hard to phish MFA options like hardware keys (FIDO2), I would change banks.

We have solutions to most of the phishing attacks, but most people find them hard to use or don't want to use them as they are seen as not important. I've made comments to several companies that SMS or TOTP based MFA is not phish-proof and that they need to implement something stronger, but it often is ignored.
i completely disagree, its definitely educational to people in demographics who fall for these things. and its less denigrating than the real thing.

and the dummy skimmers on gas pumps isn't a bad idea, there's a lot of people who have probably still never heard of them, although maybe videos would reach a wider audience for this one as having this irl could cause actual problems. whereas fake phishing emails to vulnerable customers will force them to wisen up.

even if its something that shouldn't need to be implemented at your bank, because there are better solutions, it can still help them elsewhere in life.
You could just like, say what you mean rather than try and launder the opinion through insinuating things about the people involved.

If someone is passionate but that makes them more productive, why would that be a bad thing? At the end of the day, they’re still more productive?

Regardless, there’s nothing to indicate that the folks involved are new, or “more passionate” or whatever. They’re Google engineers doing their job at Google. Google has a bunch of Rust projects, some large ones too, that have been going on for years.
I guess we can anticipate a huge spike in donations to the Democrats as people realize that they can get 25 years of prison time for the bargain price of a few million dollars.
Sci-fi as a literary genre is so great because it's like Broadway; if you're being snobbish about it you're missing the point entirely. It comes from the tradition of mass market serials that have always been considered low-brow. Half the authors you mention began their careers writing throwaway pulp for ten cent magazines. It's a folk art form through and through.
> A sentence of 25 years completely destroys his life.

No, it does not "destroy his life". He will be in his early/mid-50's when gets out. Someone with his privilege, education and resources should have known better. It's hard to feel sympathy. I expect that sufficient punishment in cases like this will serve as a deterrent for others like SBF who would do the same.

Hopefully he is ALSO restricted, for life, from ever working in finance again.

> companies like OpenAI have had access to large quantities of H100 for a few months now and Sora is being presented

From what I could tell from Nvidia's recent presentation, Nvidia works directly with OpenAI to test their next gen hardware. IIRC they had some slides showing the throughput comparisons with Hopper and Blackwell, suggesting they used OpenAI's workload for testing.

H100's have been generally available (not a long waitlist) for only several months, but all the big players had them already 1 year ago.

I agree with you, but I think you might be 1 generation behind.

> OpenAI used H100’s predecessor — NVIDIA A100 GPUs — to train and run ChatGPT, an AI system optimized for dialogue, which has been used by hundreds of millions of people worldwide in record time. OpenAI will be using H100 on its Azure supercomputer to power its continuing AI research.

The bank doesn't have to send the simulated phishing emails from their own domain. Actually I don't think they'll want to do it as it would lower the spam reputation of their domains. They should use shady domains like every real phisher.
By law they’re not protected at all since 2012. But SEC curiously seems to ignore them, and congresspeople are experts in exercising loopholes in SEC regulations.

Definitely! And I'll likely use that raw URL in my tooling going forward. So thanks for starting the repo.

I'm thinking it also helps to bring up a feature request on the source material so we can all limit the drift. ie. if darkvisitors.com had a sort of plain text API, your repo could check for new entries via GH Actions and create issues or even PRs.

GPUs can still scale up by a LOT. The real limiting parameters are power consumption (which includes cooling), bus speed, production level of foundries.

Think super-[cross-fire/sli].

Economics will probably forbid that. This is a virtual limit which factors in the previous physical limits... in theory.
Creator here, so I'm biased...

Yew has had about 10 commits in the past 6 months and the original creator has since moved on.

Leptos is a good solution for web-app type stuff, but IMO there's a big usability gap. I'll let the community be the judge there, but I wrote up some differences here: https://github.com/dioxusLabs/dioxus/?tab=readme-ov-file#dio... Leptos was fortunate enough to receive a lot of attention from youtubers on its launch.

The most important thing here: we raised venture money for Dioxus. We have many years of runway, are pretty lean, and exclusively focused on pouring resources into making the best GUI library for Rust (and potentially branching out to Python/JS). Getting into YC isn't easy, raising money isn't easy, and there's currently no other Rust projects with similar goals, talent, and financial backing. Biased of course.

Oh, and we're committed to the bevy integration. bevy_dioxus is already updated for 0.5 and we share corporate sponsors with the bevy folks.

Final point, legally, no we're not inspired by any pokemon with a similar sounding name. Even though that pokemon is awesome.

I would happily trim all passwords of these security assholes to 7 characters without any notice and watch them being locked out of the systems.

I'm personally of the opinion that promotion and pay rises should be entirely separate discussions and it should be both possible and normal to get one without the other. In fact you should have to work your new position for at least 6 month after a promotion before you can discuss any pay rise.

Ya it feels funny projects that think dropping major packages like CLAP that have thousands of eyes on it, for a new hand rolled implementation is somehow ... safer/better by default.

Replacing and removing dependencies is great, if your really sure somehow your code is actually improving the situation and not just shifting the issue into a new chunk of code your going to have to worry about.
Good practices I'd appreciate from my bank:

* Zero links on legitimate emails. Any email with a link is automatically a phishing attempt.

* Minimal content in mails. Any personal details other than my email address and first name absent in the notification. All the relevant content in the secure messaging section of my customer access.

* Clear categories of emails, and an easy way to unsubscribe from each.

* Direct-to-support-team phone numbers advertised in the website.

* Periodic reminders about good practices (e.g. a legitimate mail will never ask you to follow a link or click on a button; a one-time code can only be entered in the app and never used in any other way or given to anyone through any channel).

Having not heard of E2 before (it never seems to come up in the comparisons the other object-storage providers do to make themselves look good) — do you know why it has such bad availability? "Weeks of downtime" sounds crazy for a business focused on storage.

If they aren't also failing at durability, then it wouldn't be any of the classical problems associated with running a storage cluster. Do they just... not bother with online maintenance / upgrades / hardware transitions?
The victims are going to get paid back (in 2022 crypto prices) due to the appreciation of FTX’s assets (crypto and Anthropic shares). So if someone lost a bitcoin when FTX collapsed (BTC was at $18k at the time) they will get more than $18k but not $70k which is today’s price.

They absolutely have a choice where their car goes. They've got a gas pedal, a brake pedal, and a steering wheel don't they?

If they can't clear the intersection they have no business entering it.

That's a problem with the car behind them. You shouldn't break the law because someone is honking at you.

Good.
