Forfend Analysis Indicates 1 in 5 Emails Could Be Scams
CHARLOTTE, NC – Analyzing customer emails in 2024, Forfend Cube, an advanced email security tool that integrates directly into an email platform, found that approximately 1 in 5 emails it scanned for potential threats were flagged for a phishing threat.

With 90% of cyberattacks utilizing email as the primary entry point to compromise systems and steal information, the urgency for robust email security solutions has never been greater.

Forfend Cube is specifically designed to protect small and medium-sized enterprises (SMBs) from the growing threat of phishing scams and other cyber threats. Forfend, a leading software-as-a-service provider, has developed a world-class, AI-powered solution that combats email and cyber threats in real time.

“Phishing attacks aren't just an IT problem; they're a business risk,” said Yash Agarwal, Forfend CEO. “Protecting your organization with robust email security isn't optional—it's essential. Every click matters, and the right solution ensures your team stays focused on growth, not damage control.”

In a recent analysis of a customer’s emails, Cube discovered that approximately 20% of the 35,000 emails analyzed were scams, all of which were successfully blocked. In 2024 alone, Cube prevented its clients from losing nearly $2 million due to phishing attempts.

Most small businesses don’t have a dedicated IT leader and instead rely on an outsourced solution, like PiviT Strategy, an IT consulting and managed services provider in Charlotte, NC. PivIT Strategy CEO Jeff Wolverton emphasized the importance for SMBs take proactive measures.

“With generative AI, the barrier to entry of phishing and malware has been lowered. That's why enhancing your G-mail or Outlook with a security measure like Cube to monitor and prevent these scams in real time is important to ensuring your business remains safe and secure."

These results help remind organizations to prioritize their cybersecurity measures, implementing solutions like Forfend Cube can significantly mitigate risks and protect valuable data.

“As AI-generated scams increase in number and complexity, businesses should take action now to safeguard their email systems and ensure their operations remain secure against the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats,” Agarwal said.

Show HN: Tablepilot – Open-source CLI tool designed to generate tables using AI
Hi HN,

Tablepilot is a CLI tool designed to generate tables based on a predefined JSON format schema. As you might have guessed, the schema defines the table's columns, including their names and descriptions. These columns are then used to generate rows—exactly as you'd expect. But there's more to it than that! Here are some key features:

- AI-generated columns: If you want your table to have four columns but only know two of them, just add empty objects: [<column1>, <column2>, {}, {}] to schema. Tablepilot will automatically generate the missing two for you.

- Fine-grained context control: For example, if you're generating a recipe table with "name" and "ingredients" columns, you can set a context length of 10 for the "name" column, meaning the previous 10 values will be included in the prompt. Meanwhile, you can set a context length of 0 for the "ingredients" column to reduce token usage.

- Flexible column data generation strategies: Each column can have a different generation method: AI-generated, randomly selected from a predefined list, or even pulled from another table.

- Cross-table context: Say you have a customers table and a gifts table. You want AI to generate a personalized gift and greeting message based on each customer's age, job, or other details. Tablepilot can use the customer table row as context when generating each row in the gifts table.

- Schema storage in database: By default, schemas are stored in a local SQLite database, but you can also use a remote database, making your schemas accessible from anywhere.

- Easily switch between different LLMs and models: You can switch between providers like OpenAI, Gemini or other LLMs or between different models easily.
I think you're right about the essential ingredient in this finding, but I feel like this is a pretty ARC-AGI specific result.

Each puzzle is kind of a similar format, and the data that changes in the puzzle is almost precisely that needed to deduce the rule. By reducing the amount of information needed to describe the rule, you almost have to reduce your codec to what the rule itself is doing - to minimise the information loss.

I feel like if there was more noise or arbitrary data in each puzzle, this technique would not work. Clearly there's a point at which that gets difficult - the puzzle should not be "working out where the puzzle is" - but this only works because each example is just pure information with respect to the puzzle itself.
Don’t forget about the national emergency we’re having later this year.
This is super interesting. I run a remote job board as a hobby (see below). My best estimate of jobs my crawler found as well as ones it did not is about 12,000 - 15,000 remote jobs added in February. This is a much higher proportion than I would have guessed otherwise.

(Edit: I am wrong, I am comparing US jobs to global remote jobs, still interesting, just bad proportions)

ADP is only private jobs, whereas BLS is also government, which has had job losses. If anything this MAY paint a misleadingly positive overall picture.

I guess we'll know here soon.

The idea of minimizing complexity is less novel than it may seem. Regularization terms are commonly added to loss objectives in optimization, and these regularizers can often be interpreted as penalizing complexity. Duality allows us to interpret these objectives in multiple ways:

1. Minimize a weighted sum of data error and complexity.

2. Minimize the complexity, so long as the data error is kept below a limit.

3. Minimize the error on the data, so long as the complexity is kept below a limit.

It does seem like classical regularization of this kind has been out of fashion lately. I don't think it plays much of a role in most Transformer architectures. It would be interesting if it makes some sort of comeback.

Other than that, I think there are so many novel elements in this approach that it is hard to tell what is doing the work. Their neural architecture, for example, seems carefully hacked to maximize performance on ARC-AGI type tasks. It's hard to see how it generalizes beyond.
Yes, it's amazing how we have given corporations all the powers and none of the responsibilities of individuals over the years.
> “The thing that’s interesting these days in terms of kind of restoring some of the original vibes of Digg and making it a more productive and safer place for people to connect is that we have a whole slew of technologies at our disposal now that we just didn’t have back then,” Rose says. “This stuff is really interesting in that we’re finally able to transition this into this world of moderators where instead of them being the janitors and the police, they can hopefully lean on a little bit more of the AI to do this heavy lifting for them so that they can be the director of good vibes and restore a lot of the positive things that came out of social media.”

> “Online communities thrive when there’s a balance between technology and human judgment. We’re bringing Digg back to ensure that balance exists,” adds Ohanian in a statement. “Kevin and I are here to build something better than what social platforms are offering today. AI should handle the grunt work in the background while humans focus on what they do best: building real connections. No one dreams of spending their day hunting down spam or playing content police – they want to create, connect, and build thriving communities. I’m all in on this chapter.”

Honestly, seeing the past struggles site owners have had with human moderators on Reddit and Stack Overflow, these seems more about benefiting the site owners and centralizing control than the benefits for end user it's being sold as.

Yet you use terms such as "nature". How is that not silly and pseudoscientific?

You are ascribing traits to things in a fundamentally immeasurable manner. At least in GP's case we are left with a root that we can quantify.
I think some people may be misreading what you wrote to mean China is freer than the US, but I think you are saying that China does not allow billionaires to threaten its government, which is probably accurate.
Came here to mention just this, all the more as the article mention that the author is considering a move to Fish.

What is it with cults and boats? L Ron Hubbard did this, too (albeit for different stated reasons).

Ah, see, they should have adopted the Hubbard approach of just completely ignoring authorities' complaints about his various dubious boats (this, somehow, tended to more or less work out for him).
People already left and they're in Discord. Reddit today is a shell of what it was.
why is this discussion full of one liners and not normal HN paragraphs?!
Ways to fight back surely? And the "what looks like" is important because how do I know without discussion amongst peers?

It's fair what you're saying about Covid but HN is not where I come to hear the opinions of medical experts. But this crypto stuff, DOGE having physical access to servers etc.? The question again is where do we discuss it if not here? If it wasn't connected to Trump this would be the obvious place to come.
So are they going to avoid the negative changes that Reddit made? Since they're saying the new Digg is going to be explicitly aimed at mobile users, sounds like no?

I think about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manson_Family but I know a lot of people use psychedelic drugs and don't resort to violence.

With the hyperbolic rhetoric about false threats, I'm surprised we haven't seen more violence from "rationalists"; if they really believed we were in that imminent danger, violent attacks would have been the rational thing to do.
Most of the federal losses likely won't show up in the report this week as they were after the reporting window (Feb 15th or something like that?).

The April one is likely where it's really going to show up.
of course there is. it just takes a lot of people to make the good choices, and when money is tight, that is very hard for people to do en masse.

this is part of the trend lately that has money flowing upwards and not back down again. if the end-user/customer is at the bottom, wages they're paid are what go into the economy and do the work that money does all the way up the chain of commerce until it reaches some rich guy shaped like a sphere who smokes cigars and laughs maniacally all the time. but because he's been tightening budgets on all the companies he's on the boards of, the employees of those companies get less money every year to spend on things. so more of the money stays in his hands. so customers have necessarily less choice on things they can buy and choices they can make in the marketplace.

eventually people get laid off or fired and now they have no money to do anything with and in the end take any job they can, if they aren't found by some employer before then. so they have less and less agency while the people selling things have more and more and more.

the end result of this is that we will become pets of the bourgeois which is exactly what they want. they not only have a need to win (which is fine by itself) but a need for all others to lose (which is not ok in any way) and they can never ever be happy with what they have.

I truly wish I had not had children. Life is going to be hard for them.

Agreed. Over the past 2 years so many subreddits have devolved into what can be best described as doom scrolling ragebait, which is what reddit wants because it keeps eyeballs going for advertisers.

My city's subreddit when from "here's what's cool, going on, or new" to constant political posts. I'm Canadian and it's all but been determined that political forces are using AI posting to complain and point all problems at the current government (it's not clear who is doing it, whether far-right, foreign, or the opposition itself) on all Canadian focused subreddits.

There's also some curious stories about how a lot of the very good moderators of some of the larger ones like r/Canada, their provincial/city/regional counterparts, etc were all pushed out via various means.

AGI is, and always was, marketing from LLM providers.

Real innovation is going in with task-specific models like AlphaFold.

LLMs are starting to become more task specific too, as we’ve seen with the performance of reasoning model on their specific tasks.

I imagine we’ll see LLMs trained specifically for medical purposes, legal purposes, code purposes, and maybe even editorial purposes.

All useful in their own way, but none of them even close to sci-fi.

Paperwork for the kid's daycare. Sick kid needs a prescription? Get them mostly better at home, then print and fill a form authorizing daycare to administer prescription meds and deliver it (along with the eyedrops or whatever) when dropping off the kid. None of that has been digitized yet.

Shipping labels. Returning something you bought online? The merchant often will send you a shipping label to print and tape to the package. My wife chooses to buy a lot of clothes online and return the ones that don't fit.

Signs for when we host a large gathering of people. Sometimes it's to label garbage vs recycling (for the large number of aluminum cans, mostly). Usually it's to warn people that one of the cats likes to try and sneak outside, and please watch out and don't let him outside.

Certain government paperwork. While many things can be filled and submitted online, other stuff (passport renewals come to mind) need to be printed and physically mailed. This tends to be very infrequent, but the forms contain personal information. How much do you trust a print shop?

Absolutely not. The GPS and Galileo spacecraft are all pointed at Earth. This demo is a special receiver that can piece together glimpses when that signal happens to slip past the edge of the Earth and reach the moon.
> method where an update is delivered as a print job

I wonder if this is a way to install custom firmware. Probably not. I would guess that the code that decodes the firmware from the print job probably passes it through the same signature check code as the regular firmware update process.

Still it's an interesting route for exploit exploration.

There are various kinds of news articles. This is what’s known as a feature article: in depth coverage of a particular topic. Those topics are not usually the daily headline stories and are not read-it-today urgent. If you don’t want to read features, don’t. There have been other articles on the topic.

Saccharined killed. You used to be able to make some really vitriolic comments on most subs just for the lulz and only get downvoted to hell and back. But nowadays if you're not following the doxa you get perma-banned from some sub first then next day perma-banned from reddit itself. And if you comment on one of the main subs you go directly to reddit permaban.
Similar problems.

I couldn't care less about mars, to be honest. My problem is that some use it as (an absurd) justification to commoditise space. SpaceX is hurting the climate by making it cheap to send lots of rockets.
A different take on this - authorities are most powerful when they can keep the people in fear. When the people lose the fear a revolution of some kind usually follows (peaceful or otherwise).
You could get together in a big group and all say the same things in unison. Maybe even hold some signs saying those things

It has in a bunch of places. C# is widely used in video games, and Java is widely used in financial trading including HFT scenarios where every millisecond matters. And obviously in Android it's used to write large parts of the OS.

There are places where it hasn't, but that's more due to missing features than JIT vs AOT. Java only got SIMD support recently and it's still in a preview mode, partly because it's all blocking on Valhalla value types.

PGO can make a big difference to C++ codebases, and as JIT is basically PGO with better deployment/developer ergonomics it could probably also work in C++ too. It's just that the most performance sensitive C++ codebases like Chrome prefer to take the build system complexity hit and get the benefits of PGO without the costs, and most C++ codebases just go without.
