crazy how attackers used to actually have to try to be evasive! now most commands being run come from LLMs and it's all incomprensible, obfuscated garbage (not to mention nobody knows what they're even running) include the word claude somewhere and you'll blend in no matter what you're doing

it's sad how previously "deeply held", "non-negotiable" rules were unquestioningly dropped as soon as enough money was on the line. those same rules were most of the glue that held together the systems we rely on. now it's totally out of control and we have no choice but to watch it play out

I don't think I've ever seen Ian ask for anything despite constantly supporting others. please help if you can :)

I feel terrible asking this, but my debit card got stolen and I don’t currently have the funds in my account to cover some upcoming payments while I sort the dispute out with the bank. If anyone could help spot me, I would really appreciate that! V: @Ian-Coldwater CA: $iancoldwater PP: @coldwater

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

If you’re a CPU architecture nerd, do yourself a favor and read FEX’s latest blogpost on emulating x86-TSO. Do you like reading Dolphin-EMU’s dev blogs? Then you’ll enjoy this. Apple has the huge advantage of being vertically integrated so Rosetta was able to “cheat” with dedicated x86 semantics.

what if there was a small team of talented and chill researchers doing a mix of detection engineering/threat hunting/data engineering, who love regex and solving interesting problems, and don't have ai psychosis... looking for both a manager AND a new teammate? what if?

this was the awards show equivalent to “I want shorter games with worse graphics made by people who are paid more to work less and I'm not kidding" and it dying because there weren’t enough creative people followed by an ominous speech by one of the greats should be a canary in a coal mine situation

bring back shame. holy shit! I'm so sick of shameless, amoral business people. be ashamed! feel bad for your actions! feel bad for destroying privacy. feel bad for turning creativity, innovation, blood sweat & tears into a money making slurry. feel bad for ruining so many things. please feel bad!

honestly a little sad to see the last bits of Google dorking die off with the goto parameter. it prevents accurate observation of result URLs (stuff redirects half the time when you click it so now you can't possibly have any idea what you're clicking), and kills vital search operators like inurl.

in general, search engine death/decay is saddening. at least you can still dork other search engines for now

Dolly Parton was universally loved because she was a rich person who knew what it was like to be poor, stayed down to earth, and spent her life giving back to others who were less fortunate. The oligarchs who don’t understand why everyone hates them probably won’t learn from this. But they should
