OK, so let's say me and some friends started a tech company/consultancy that refused to use "AI", would this encourage you choose us over others?

Seriously, I don't think most Americans have put together that natalism, "naturalism," anti-science, anti-medicine, anti-vax, pedophilia, misogyny, queerphobia, eugenics, racism, anti-immigrant xenophobia, anti-woke, anti-DEI, and disempowering labor through automation and "AI" are all interlocking parts of modern fascist ideology.

And yes, the orbital AI datacenter thing is real, and 2 companies that I know of have already filed with the FCC for over a million satellites for this completely untested, fucking stupid idea. Fuck you, SpaceX, for one million satellites and using pseudo-religious language in your filing.

Instructions on how you can submit a comment to the FCC telling them that you also think this is stupid are here! darksky.org/news/two-satellite

Re “Cryptographic Issues in Matrix’s Rust Library Vodozemac, s1. Olm Diffie-Hellman Accepts the Identity Element”

So if you’re talking to me and I’m malicious, I can send you the ed25519 identity point and force the output of our ECDH agreement to all zeroes. That sounds bad, right? You think we’re having an encrypted conversation, but in fact that encryption is completely useless.

Now, have a ed25519 key pair:

pub 6a175eb9529f5fbbfcbb84b80e451ea8eb976653fd40da4b7b9f98d0db66031f
prv c0bf3874dfa3032ce85cf75db06f0763a3b9296c957d1fe203a318ba63049d3c

(I generated this with the Go playground)

I send you that public key. We negotiate a shared secret with each other. We’re secure right? Well, no, because anyone who’s read this post knows my private key and can compute the same key we just negotiated.

Should you be checking for that public key too? Of course not, that’s nonsense.

Soatok would of course recommend that you use Signal instead. This case is so critical that Signal checks for it, right? Yeah, it does… as of a week ago

(It’s a tad difficult to compare to what Signal is doing, because Signal has removed X3DH in favour of PQXDH, a post-quantumn hybrid replacement, and I can’t quite find the last version of libsignal that supports X3DH. But I don’t see it in an ancient version of their library which did do X3DH either)

I don’t even really like Matrix and there are certainly a lot of flaws in the protocol in general, but this vulnerability announcement feels like more hype than substance to me.

This is truly glorious from in their "Introduction to Github" course.

I don't know why Tim is working in the opposite direction, but I can see that he never once "morges" his code back into develop, let alone doing it "continvoucly"

learn.microsoft.com/en-us/trai

Update:

It looks as though after 4-5 months the page has been updated, but if you want to see the image in situ still then the way back machine has you covered.

A visual representation of what should be the GitFlow process, showing how changes move from feature branches, to develop, release, and master. The diagram is a mess of arrows with some pointing in the wrong directions, and with multiple AI induced sentences such as "Bugfixes from rel, branch may be continvoucly morged back into develop", and no, that's honestly what is says

[Server Charm] @StrangeGirlMurphMurphy @buffetbuffet, das hey I stumbled across these charms and they look cool! One thing that might be a useful note for the doc is to warn folks to watch out for the SuperMini boards with no flash :( (although you do say to get from reputable seller in EU). I might try these as a workshop with my maker meetup! youtube.com/watch?v=ZMnSjpFgwdQ

Laid off :/

I know:

- Unity C#
- Rust
- Python

I can learn:

- Anything

I am in Massachusetts. Remote work would be great too

I've 8 years of experience as an MIT software engineer specializing in research simulation platform projects. I would prefer: not creating the next big AI thing, not making weapons, never having to think about blockchain anything.

Anyone got anything?

You may be tempted to roll your eyes and say that this was obvious, but there is a substantive difference between pointing out there is a slippery slope and having solid evidence that Ring's CEO is planning to expand Search Party beyond lost pets. Kudos to 404 Media.

Speaking as a parent my current opinion on internet age verification laws is that after the state starts putting the Epstein class in prison en masse then maybe we can start taking anything else they say about protecting children seriously.
