isn't the other part of this that you'd have to enable the SSH part per node? it's not like the tailscale control plane can uniformly turn that on.

if you enforce user input to specific shapes... and only have certain system calls... I think a unikernel version of a hackernews style site really wouldn't have RCE... especially if you build in KSLR / memory tagging in the unikernel security model...
Re:I Found a $90k Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Google

handing clients access to an LLM gets them beginner level code, easily. same with beginner level exploits. an RCE against google is not a "beginner level exploit". If you've seen AI generated code, I can tell you that AI generated security findings also have that "beginner" smell. an expert who knows what they're doing has to drive them to look at the right places, and use the experts preferred method.

1. score by the past paragraph (this is also how the verifier checks without needing a GPU, it takes the previous length of text)
2. same answer
3. no, it just needs the previous text, private key, and the matrix math (CPU is fine)
4. no, see above.

being able to replicate it in the open means that there's nothing special about frontier models.
Frontier models would have to do something extraordinary or unique, or unreplicatable, because clearly there is no moat, and US companies are sitting on huge nvidia valuations and get surprised when competitors beat them.

I think he doesn't need to understand the technology to point out the books are cooked. a business can sink in either way: the technology flops or the finances flop. he's arguing the /finances/ would flop. he doesn't argue that the /technology/ would flop, only that they can't come up with the money to pay their debters.
