Y’know, today is just the perfect day to preorder Vaporware, Inc.: How Silicon Valley Sells the Future to Control the Present. bookshop.org/p/books/vapo...

The party willing to sell out trans people for zero votes may have no backbone to prosecute fascists? Quelle surprise.

Didn't really finish my day until 9pm. Have to be up early for work. Not even an hour of free time lately.

When trans creators are subtle, people dismiss the trans subtext as “headcanon.” When trans creators are loud and proud, people call it “obnoxious” and “cringe.” They just don’t want us to be represented in media at all. Because they don’t want us to exist at all.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

This is something I have to point out to astonished clients. It's no longer "give a little bandwidth, get a lot". It's now full on replication of your site, to train models, which power services, which are *not* giving you anything in return. Extractivist.

If the real priority was actually protecting girls from actual men who pose a risk to them in sports, it would make much more sense to advocate for banning male coaches and male doctors. And I’ve never, ever ever heard that suggestion, because that’s not really what this is about.

With the option to vibe code something instead, I think the new question is build vs buy vs bullshit

I've poked around in Claude generated Drupal code recently and...yeah. 100% this.

Finally a weapon to surpass Metal Gear.

Minneapolis has Early Voting Pop-Ups all week through Friday. Find the one that is convenient for you and check voting off your to-do list! Check out the map to find the one close to you! www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/e... Of course, double-check info at vote.minneapolismn.gov before going!

The Democratic Party, everyone.

Perhaps that's the mistake I made on Friday: Believing I belonged anywhere. You'd think I would have learned that lesson by now.

Love to exert pressure on a guy by giving him everything he wants, it always works out great.

Uh-huh... www.apollo.com/wealth/insig...

One of those days where being dead sounds nice.

I know just enough about Canadian politics and Canadian culture to read this and not be surprised.

If you love this, you're gonna love all the business data exfiltration going on right now.

Imagining a theological discussion where we're just God's cats on any given Tuesday.

And there it is: The AI found PHP mega CVE? Not exploitable in practice. AI mirage. Infosec people, AI is *already* cooking your brain. blog.luitjes.it/posts/i-want...

There aren't enough shocked pikachu gifs in the known Universe for this. We've already known for while you cannot train a model out of key behaviors as a next-token prediction plus vector database system. Much of the mitigation is in the harnesses. Regexes everywhere. gizmodo.com/sam-altman-i...

Anyways. Post #bsidestc pizza.

Truly just ghoulish behavior from the Democrats. And yall wonder why trans people are pessimistic about this gov ever helping us. They say they will include us but inclusion into what? They only accept us when we make them comfotable; it’s never about enabling us. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Apparently the most secure coding agent only outputs secure code....37% of the time. At best. "We'll use AI to test the vibe coded project!" [Entire room full of security professionals laugh] #bsidestc

literally this comic except he apparently lives in Czechia instead of Nebraska

No.

Drupal is not affected by the session.upload_progress.enabled CVE as it does not use upload progress. Furthermore, disabling it was already a recommendation for drupal sites. www.drupal.org/association/...

"Technical analysis is ongoing, and it’s unclear if any of these attempts would have succeeded in real-world systems." Uh-huh... aws.amazon.com/blogs/securi...

The worry I have isn't that LLMs are finding immense exploits. It's that we've already ceded the critical thinking skills to prioritize vulnerabilities in terms of what is actually exploitable in practice rather than magical sky thinking because the machine said so.
