  Little confused by the second link. It’s not about Draiman, its just one of the band members saying assassinating trump wouldnt do the US any favours (I somewhat agree for different reasons, killing him would have started civil war 2 most likely).

  In case you missed it/didn’t think of it, there’s a rather notorious tweet about student loans (unless he deleted it) that rubbed me the wrong way so I’d use that instead personally. He basically said “you took out a loan, pay it back” which ignores all the context for those who got one.

  Plus there’s the fact their lyrics in the last album seem very “can’t we all just get along” and tends to trivialise many of the issues in the US right now. It’s this idea of “if we all just talked we’d see we have common ground” bullshit like no one has had a real conversation in the last 25 years cos they’re all on their phones etc.

  Sounds like it’s the platforms that are the issue, not the kids. Would you believe that maybe the corporations havent been acting with ours or our children’s best interests at heart and should, shock horror, be forced into doing that? It’s almost like designing social media to be an ad casino shouldn’t have been allowed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI models can generate exploit code at lightning speed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m referencing this:

  Keely told GPT-4 to generate a Python script that compared – diff’ed, basically – the vulnerable and patched portions of code in the vulnerable Erlang/OPT SSH server.

  “Without the diff of the patch, GPT would not have come close to being able to write a working proof-of-concept for it,” Keely told The Register.

  It wrote a fuzzer before it was told to compare the diff and extrapolate the answer, implying it didn’t know how to get to a solution either.

  “So if you give it the neighbourhood of the building with the open door and a photo of the doorway that’s open, then drive it to the neighbourhood when it tries to go to the mall (it’s seen a lot of open doors there), it can trip and fall right before walking through the door.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI models can generate exploit code at lightning speed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The vulnerability is the scary part, not the exploit code. It’s like someone saying they can walk through an open door if they’re told where it is.

  I lost the game

  Steve Hughes did a pretty good bit on this - “Go play with your girly tits you Gaylord, I’m going to fuck a man.”

  I consider leaving cyber and becoming a barista on a daily basis

  I feel the same way, I would lose self respect purchasing a ticket… idk it feels like someone took an important part of my childhood and decided to ruin it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"You should probably just throw it away"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That entire sentence is unintelligible marketing drivel.

  Fuckin STRAYA

  Ironically you’re the one who missed the joke here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The surprises found just moving a mattress⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Might be a rabbit styled one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dolphins is whales.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So reading up on the evolution of whales for arguments sake has me realising all dolphins and whales are (as mentioned) from the same family.

  Your traditional whale fits into “Baleen Whales (Mysticeti)” which have “soft, hair like structures on the upper mouth” and there are 16 species and 3 families.

  Meanwhile there are also “Toothed Whales (Odontceti)” with 76 species and 10 families. They are smaller, actively hunt and almost always live in pods.

  The most surprising thing I’ve learned is that the Baleen Whales typically have two blow holes…??? Also they do not echolocate but they do sing/chat.

  So almost all your traditional large whales fit into the Baleen category and the traditional dolphin fits into the Toothed category. So there are key differences between them, but the overall family is whale.

  This is a dumb argument huh

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dolphins is whales.⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Dolphins are whales with teeth, a distinction that makes them just slightly not whales

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are You Working on Wednesday⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Been working on a malware analysis tool called AssemblyLine 4. I’m trying to set it up to collect artifacts from an s3 bucket and trigger alerts if malicious

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Easy now, fuzzy little man-peach, hmm? You ever drunk Bailey's from a shoe?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  But was it Bailey’s, Bailey’s, or Bailey’s so close you get your eyes wet coloured?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which is which?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My favourite use is to suggest a near miss: the other car missed the cyclist by a bees dick.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which is which?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, not heard that one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which is which?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Same thought different reasoning: the expression “a bees dick” exists. There’s no equivalent for birds.
