Working in cybersecurity in an average large company is usually miserable when you want to do it right. You are trapped between business metrics, laziness, and lack of interest in modern technologies.

On the one hand, you have businesses that claim that they will lose millions in revenues if their shitty site/service is down.

Then you have users that do not give a crap about security: they have goals and security s not one of them.

Finally, you have IT where there you either have under-the-radar operations for people interested in something, or an average to low understanding of technology.

And there you are: you are "responsible" for making sure that the company is secure (per its ads) but cannot hurt the business. If there is an incident it is your fault anyway.

It s not a surprise that burnout in cybersecurity is high. Or that security experts' goal is to have all the chekmarks no matter the reality (the ass covered approach).

Or you have the rare CISO who will be pissed off by such things and will force their way to bring in real security (which is not rocket science: patch, configure correctly, use MFA and occasionally think before you do something). Some fail and leave, some become the enterprise assholes you do not want to deal with and, alllll right, you implement what they want because they piss you off. The unsung hero.

I dunno man, did you see what I wrote a couple of lines down? There are ways of selling things that must be sold, I mentioned auctions, but also you can get independent assessments like in the case of compulsory purchase/eminent domain.

I'm sure you could object to some particular solution I propose, but people much smarter than me have studied this kind of game theory extensively and there are a lot of options.

The normalization can be the same as licensing is done now, "per work", negotiating specific usages needn't change, except that the seller has to allow that each covered work be subject to at least one must-sell auction per e.g. year. They can even win the auction themselves if all the bids are too low.
Amazing concept! I am a heavy user of such tools, and typically build my own bespoke search. I tried out Find AI across a number of different queries, and I think the general issue here is one of coverage. For example, when searching for "all people with PhD", it only analyzes 1700 candidates (for reference, around 2% of US population alone, holds a PhD).

Also - do you intend on providing an API for this tool, e.g. for enterprise clients?
Ah sorry, I didn't realize your comment was in response to some hypothetical new copyright system proposed upthread.

Back in the day, when I was first trying to use Linux as a desktop, we had all these concerns about "Will I be able to do this or that" and "On Windows I got all these features that's not in the word processors on Linux". We never used any of them though. Turns out Abiword was all we ever needed, ever StarOffice was to much.

I get that the required feature set isn't the same for everyone, but I bet that the majority of people and businesses would have had no issues with development of Word or Excel stopping around the 2000s, if stability increased. There is going to be edge cases where a modern Photoshop or Excel will save you hours or days and allow previously impossible workflows, but I doubt that's the majority.
Yep.

It really depends on the context; (Some) LLMs look impressive specifically because the error rate is comparable to a high score on an exam… the mistake is that even if it was a straight-A student (it's too alien to be that) then it would still only be a student, and we don't put fresh graduates in charge of everything important.

Gen-Xers who grew up with them are getting nostalgic, and many of them have a lot of disposable income and plenty of space to house them.

But it is a lot of work to get that kind of money for each individual machine. And I suspect it will be a passing fad. In some decades when the Gen-Xers start to log out, the younger generations will not sustain the same kind of market.
For me it was the success of “platformization” suddenly it wasn’t enough to be a large player (or even just successful) in the market but to have a monopoly or near monopoly position instead. Ideally co-opting the market at the same time. Now every idea tries to overextend in all sorts of obnoxious ways.
It makes me incensed when the taxpayer foots the bill for a cops fuckup
> The inflated valuations, cult-like frat house “culture,” and the relentless, mindless pursuit of growth that comfortably glossed over the human cost of "disruption."

It has been finally admitted.

The entire VC grift that was seen through unfounded valuations was purposely executed to gloss over the issues and positive spin to unprofitable startups and startups generating little to no revenue for years rather than necessary scrutiny in their business models.

For some it's Photoshop, for others its Solidworks, for others it's some other niche software like maybe driving an industrial machine. The niche market is very long tail.
And yet here we are with energy wasting crypto scams, AI 'innovation' which is just an app sending a line of text to ChatGPT, a simple video call needing 2Gb of memory (Teams), lots of developers bundling functionality they want instead of what their users want and don't get me started about all the JavaScript ecosystems. It seems to take more time than ever just to get a nice app off the ground since we keep reinventing frameworks instead of expanding on a few good ones.

Should be required listening in business schools and for anyone thinking of starting a company. Its amazing to hear about all these behomoth companies, how they were once startups themselves, how they often lost there way after success, how they changed and morphed through history!

How can this be generalised to the complex plane?
That’s the basic premise of copyright laws.

It’s a trade. The default state of affairs is no copyright protection.

Society has decided to trade a limited duration monopoly on the copyright of the work, in order to promote more works being created so that we have more works in the public domain.

The entire purpose of copyright is to generate works for the public domain.

So, when the current copyright system fails to do that, we should change that.

You can’t seriously tell me that if we had a law that said: if you don’t make a video game available commercially for 30 years, it enters the public domain, that would have a meaningful impact on the number of video games created.
no, it should be the State's pickaxe, that the central committee might entrust to you so that you work your part in the 5-year plan
Eerie to not see much discussion of this or the 500m-person TicketMaster data breach.

Is it in part because Blacksuit/Conti are partially based in Russia?
Yes. Every content manager and content writer knows and loves Wordpress. It's only developers that hate Wordpress. Corcel lets those content people use the tools they like, and lets developers build secure, performant, maintainable websites.
Is Soviet Union and Russia the same? BTW, Ukraine and a bunch of other now sovereign Eastern European countries were part of the "invasive behavior" that you allude to. I hear Stalin was a Georgian.

If you really did go back 200 years before NATO, you might be surprised to learn about the conflict ridden European history. The French were prolific invaders, for example. They still run colonies in far away places.
I've been using bluetuith for a couple of months now and it's worked pretty well. It's a TUI, not a CLI, which makes a lot easier/faster to use than bluetoothctl.

Some controls are a bit weird, but they're all right there on screen anyway, so not hard to remember. It works fine, which is more than I can say for any other bluetooth UI.

This is the company you are now trusting with the mere claim that WhatsApp is end-to-end secured.

2018: Facebook, not satisfied with getting its own users’ data only, bought and hijacked a VPN app in order to — wait for it — bypass encryption that millions of people trusted for ALL SITES ON THE INTERNET in order to analyze traffic and be able to get the dirt on its competitors!

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/08/facebook-violate...

Now about WhatsApp…

Oh yeah… it’s already sending a lot of telemetry to Facebook:

And has been since 2016:

Oh, but at least the content of your messages is not analyzed by FB? Well, as far as we know that might be true, but if the other user flags your convo, it is in fact sent to Facebook:

But wait, there’s more. Sometimes the mask slips due to People You May Know, which is the carefully guarded mix of “secret” algorithms that has helped Facebook aggressively grow beyond 100 million people:

While I don't regret my career decisions, one thing that always comes back is the thought: What if I had doubled down on the Windows API and C++.

I don't see many job openings for those types of jobs, but I would have had an incredibly stable platform for the past 25 years. If you wrote a service for Windows in the early 2000s, it seems like it wouldn't be that much work keeping it running today. I have seen examples of companies managing to lock their software to Windows Server 2008 by accident, so there is some room for failure, but that might very well just be incompetence.

Even NK advocacy sites do not threat national security either, but I meant that such restriction is allowed by the law which was ultimately passed the Congress and so you are wrong to claim that it's "illegal". See also my other comment for the background.

Also the watchmen argument against such restrictions is so old at this point that there are lots of counterpoints available for you, if you wish.

Instinctively, it makes incredibly much sense to me, even more so than property law. The way I view it, it is precisely the foundation that ownership sort of rests on.

Just wanting to chime in that ProcessWire [1] has provided this dependency for me over the last 10 years, even in a better way than WordPress can provide, since it is such a small core that rarely needs updating, and that most if not all functionality can be developed through a few lines it's amazing PHP API rather than tons of 3rd party plugins that need constant updating. 10+ year site still running without me touching it. One customer even was able to find a (non-expert) developer to develop it further, since it is all pure PHP anyways.

As a former Drupal webdev, ProcessWire is heaven.

For a moment, let's take your highly simplistic statement at face value. USSR gave up East Germany and voluntarily dissolved itself on the agreement that NATO won't expand east of Germany and Russia will be "admitted" into the West. What do we do about that now?

These days we have some theory about this. See Stuart Hameroff MD, a Professor of Anesthesiology and Psychology, and Director of the Center for Consciousness Studies at the University of Arizona.

To sum it up from my limited understanding: This disturbs the quantum coherance in the microtubelies in all cells (But mostly nurons) which is needed for consciousness to "limit" itself to a identity.

I'm working right now on upstreaming WebRTC DataChannel support to Quake III[1]. Performance is great, but it was a huge pain to get working. WebRTC is insanely complex. It's also annoying that it can't be used from web workers or service workers.

I hope someday WebTransport gets peer-to-peer support that is easier to use than WebRTC. And Safari support.

This is a good point. People get hung up on feature parity and niche features that they often don't even use. I guess they'd be more comfortable if there were zero downsides to switching to something else, but it's rarely so simple.

Some people also just think they need photoshop to edit images at all, they've convinced themselves all the expensive pro tools are the only thing worth using. We've got people roleplaying as graphic designers, music producers, and movie-makers all at the same time when they don't need much of any of that. I guess it's a convenient excuse to not switch to free software or GNU/Linux and not learn new things. Doesn't apply to everyone, of course.

Personally I use LibreOffice maybe once or twice a year at most. I don't even see a big need for office suites in general. I deal in a lot of plaintext, which I suspect would be fine for many, but they're used to jotting down notes in MS Word and don't wanna change. I also almost never user GIMP or Krita. The biggest usage I used to have for an image editor was cropping screenshots, but now we have screenshot tools that can just select a smaller area to begin with, so I rarely need to do any editing. I'm also used tricks like making a very small floating terminal to place as a black bar censor over things at times.
The article says that Amazon "will allow Chinese sellers to ship directly to U.S. consumers" which I assume means they won't be using their own logistics network but instead rely on the same shipping tricks as Temu and Shein.

This is a popular misconception. Tech has always been built in the face of massive distrust, mischaracterization, and dismissiveness - especially by media outlets.

PR was not how tech overcame that. It was charismatic founders (who often broke the rules of PR at the time) and massive break-throughs in adoption by winning customers over directly.

It’s honestly amusing that so many believe that marketers were the reason users decided to love tech. By and large, market-speak was the anti-thesis of what would win over the early adopters of tech. Like most sea change movements, tech was very punk at the start. To be tech was to stand against the corporate types who milked people for money without offering real value.

Doesn’t feel like it today, but most of the people I know in tech are still coming from a place of wanting to build things of genuine value, usefulness, and helpfulness. Those intentions may not be enough, but there’s not much to be gained in discounting them either.

The same thing that makes people entitled to society expending resources on the very real, physical legal protection of intangible ideas that they 'own'.

Creative works aren't made in a vacuum, all creators take from the public domain. They have an obligation to give back to it.

Copyright and patent terms were designed to facilitate that. The endless extensions of the former were a cynical, self-serving attack on a public good.
