infosex.exchange <3

You are probably looking for the infosec.exchange Mastodon instance

This host is mostly for my random stuff, and in little part acts like a well-intentioned placeholder for the typosquatted domain.

Discoverability and Archiving

Currently I'm using this host for saving the items from my own feeds to the Wayback Machine and provide in-links for search engines. I hate that I have to do this, but the non-sense ideology of Mastodon pretty much ruined the search feature for Fediverse as a whole, and this wasn't changed by the fact that they owned their mistake and implemented search eventually.

Yes, I (or anyone else) could do similar things with other peoples published feeds, regardless of the tantrum. No, you can't defederate this, because the process doesn't rely on an instance.

I dumped WinDbgMCPs `write_extension` prompt (not a hack, you can get this by design):

Unfortunately it includes no useful information about the debuggers new(ish) object model :(

@addison As I understand slop should be marked as spam from now on (+there are still LLM-adjacent tags), but ofc only time will tell how this new system will work out...

@addison what now?

@lcamtuf I had friends in high-school who loved to argue + a pretty good history teacher so I think we had some decent amateur philosophy sessions, but never formally. As an adult I find some(!) of the topics fascinating, but I just recently struggled to explain my 10yo why philosophy is actually important (he was most concerned that people apparently get paid to do this :D).

Looks like the latest #FastAPI version will mess up a lot of things - `ssl_certfile` is no longer supported as a constructor parameter?

@raptor ... t/reversing and t/cryptography slipped my mind!

@Linkshaender @gadi Please read the article I linked (again)! A CPU bug is a bug and as you said, we sometimes spend insane resources to fix it. We can avoid looking at microcode because of the deterministic contract and if it's not solid, we're screwed. CPU vendors (and any proper engineer) do a lot outside of testing and QA to make sure the abstractions hold, incl. having a good design.

In contrast if the LLM decides to use sqrt for addition, the LLM works as intended, good luck building your castle on farts!

This can (and does) happen because ppl task the LLM with domain modeling, and it sucks at that because reasons. When I write asm/C/Java/..., I do the modeling part.

I do agree with your conclusion though: developers/engineers will stay. Because they are the ones who can do proper modeling. As many said before me: writing the code has never been the hard part.

@schrotthaufen Absolutely, although for a new topics I'd prefer to have dedicated repos - I can clone one if you tell me the the topic your lists would be around.

Also, IIRC using uBlock was your idea, which turned this into something realistic so I should definitely credit you!
