I was paranoid enough to just remove all my Chrome/VSCode etc extensions.

Im now thinking about just running tart VM's on my mac to do my regular stuff from.

the recent CVE making any non-patched TCP exposed linux server RCE-root-able seems like a good stretch to me.

But could also be any of the recent supply chain attacks hitting a dev too i guess

wasn't that the origin of crypto and bitcoin too, or similar communities at least.

I think that's where I've read from about remailers in the past as in the same people who mined bitcoin early was into these

There should be an anonymous org way to report these without putting yourself in personal jeopardy, some kind of "innocent observer" protections built in...

If your system has gaps im not at fault for discovering them sort of deal

Deterrance not only works at the individual level, anyone reading these news reports about an innocent person being wrongly prosecuted for doing the right thing, is being trained to not do the right thing next time and just do nothing instead (because that's safer)
Maybe slavery just rebranded after some successful marketing campaigns (?)

given than LLM training doesn't "need" yet to adhere to much licensing, i'd say any source available, which with "reverse engineering" as skill anything is, makes the field ripe for disruption by llm's

claude code "auto-mode" uses a smaller sonnet-like model for classifying, which means it's basically dumb, and the harness biases it into denials
> nowadays selling your tesla involves the new owner identifying themselves and uploading their identity documents to tesla.

wait does this mean you cannot buy a used tesla anonymously (to tesla), not the reseller (?)

If so, that's crazy

amazon famously let you swap products of an id/ad/product without loosing the reviews so you can even find literal unrelated reviews under such fake product amazon listing pages
One would think most jobs are "by order" and thus the customer comes before the risk

Now, look who folded.
It's also a great "telephone" between the low-ranks and the C-suite if the comms are broken on a company.

meaning: If your boss won't bother to ask it's own employees or trust their feedback, he might choose a well kept, well presented third party to gather that feedback from their employees, and then package it nicely with some cool logos and slides and decks, and charge you a shit ton of money out of it.

We use GLM at work and YMMV a lot depending on the provider. So i guess some have bugs on their inference pipeline, or serve too agressive quants
Yes they're basically glorified "insurance" for the c suite

Why is so hard to get self-hosted bare metal which uses all of the modules? Most server providers go for 1 stick and call it a day....
