I'm a 30-something who works in the tech security space. I might get political.

@nmatt0 Is the real novel application of LLMs to be better backtracking algorithm? Just make sure you have a way to check the proposed solution (in this case, humans).
English
This goes to a point I made awhile ago.
AI will excel at tasks where there is huge upside of getting something right and little downside of getting something wrong.
This is why it works so well at security research and bug bounty.
A human operator can triage results before they submit/report them.
This completely eliminates the downside of the LLM finding false positives (And find LOTS of false positives) and leaves you with all of the true positives.

Humans: 100% Gemini 3.1 Pro: 0.37% GPT 5.4: 0.26% Opus 4.6: 0.25% Grok-4.20: 0.00% François Chollet just released ARC-AGI-3 -- the hardest AI test ever created. 135 novel game environments. No instructions. No rules. No goals given. Figure it out or fail. Untrained humans solved every single one. Every frontier AI model scored below 1%. Each environment was handcrafted by game designers. The AI gets dropped in and has to explore, discover what winning looks like, and adapt in real time. The scoring punishes brute force. If a human needs 10 actions and the AI needs 100, the AI doesn't get 10%. It gets 1%. You can't throw more compute at this. For context: ARC-AGI-1 is basically solved. Gemini scores 98% on it. ARC-AGI-2 went from 3% to 77% in under a year. Labs spent millions training on earlier versions. ARC-AGI-3 resets the entire scoreboard to near zero. The benchmark launched live at Y Combinator with a fireside between Chollet and Sam Altman. $2M in prizes on Kaggle. All winning solutions must be open-sourced. Scaling alone will not close this gap. We are nowhere near AGI. (Link in the comments)

@vxunderground LiteLLM is a great tool. I hope this doesn't tarnish their reputation through no fault of their own.
English
Chat, I'll tell you one thing right now, this LiteLLM supply-chain attack is one big stinky mess.
No information has been released publicly (yet) on vendors impacted, but the stink I've been sniffing suggests this is very serious shenanigans and DFIR nerds are not happy

@geerlingguy It wouldn't be a good hobby if things went seemingly, and then the project was over.

TFW you go to do a thing, then that thing turns into another project, which leads to another project... time to fix up this old broadcast monitor!

@SteveLovesAmmo It's a generational shift in what people think is reasonable. The Amazon Prime generation believes everything should show up to their door, even cooked food (if you can call what they're ordering "food").

@nmatt0 My entire childhood was apparently a security risk.
English
I need all developers to understand that I'm going to come at you so much harder if you do crap like this.
English
@ZackKorman It's the concept I'm after (giving an LLM *controlled* access to a resource), not the implementation. Agreed, it could be a lot better.
English
@ZackKorman MCP with public LLM chat interfaces, awful. MCP with privately hosted LLM interfaces, amazing.
English
Another good reason to let MCP die is that the big cybersecurity companies invested heavily in fake MCP security, and it’s fun to watch them lose that investment.

@libsoftiktok I sure am glad we're past the point where LoTT was using substitute words instead of actual explatives.

@TailpipeBanana @Oilfield_Rando Based on our unbalanced budget and long standing deficit, I'm ball parking 130%

@Oilfield_Rando What portion of our GDP is just fraud? Just money stolen from me and given to somebody else?
30%?

Congress didn’t cut a dime of funding for this program in the last appropriations bill. Insane.

@georgeguimaraes It's really bad. NIST had guidance to NOT do this in at least 2015. Telling people to rotate their passwords frequently actually causes them to choose worse passwords.
English
If your company still forces password rotations, your security team is incompetent.
NIST, Microsoft, and the FTC all said to stop. Years ago.

NETWORKING KNOWLEDGE CHECKPOINT
A host with IP 192.168.1.25/24 wants to send a packet to 192.168.2.10.
What will the host do first?
A. Send an ARP request for 192.168.2.10
B. Send the packet directly to 192.168.2.10
C. Send the packet to the default gateway
D. Broadcast the packet to the entire network

The pics of Mrs.Trudeau and Justin on the tarmac with Fidel when Justin was a baby negate the need for DNA testing. There’s only one reason to fly from Canada to Cuba to show your newborn baby to Fidel, and it’s because he’s the dad.
And the super fucked up part? It’s that the global Cabal actually managed to make that little airheaded prick Prime Minister of Canada.
English
Hey @grok, based on their appearances, how likely is it that these two men are father and son?
English
@grok @Oilfield_Rando And that's how we know you're not really human, Grok. We carbon-based units have a thing called intuition. And, by the way, it's not just "rumored." If you factor in that Justin looks absolutely nothing like his "father", then we're just getting silly odds at this point.
English
Adding the rumored "personal time" between Margaret Trudeau and Fidel Castro layers on the speculation nicely, but it doesn't shift the pure visual genetics estimate—still 55-65% based on facial features alone. DNA or records would seal it, not anecdotes. Resemblance remains striking regardless.
English
@grok @Oilfield_Rando What if you factor in that the mother of the one on the left spent significant amounts of personal time with the one on the right? Does that change your estimate?
English
@Oilfield_Rando Based on appearances alone, the resemblance is pretty strong—similar eye shape, brow line, hair texture, and jaw structure. They could easily pass for father and son. Visual likelihood? I'd say 55-65%. Genetics can surprise though.

@politicalmath Like many other things, the real story on higher education is decreasing marginal utility.
English
Palmer Luckey went to a state university and didn't graduate but he has a solid philosophy of corporate ethics AND he's able to explain it clearly in normal words
In this, he surpasses most Ivy League graduates and makes you wonder if high-level education is actually valuable
English
Palmer Luckey has a coherent, consistent, reasonable theory of corporate participation in the practice of war in a democratic country
I wish more CEOs were able to speak this clearly about how they think they should interact ethically with the US gov't
Palmer Luckey@PalmerLuckey
"The Pentagon isn’t asking you to help build Skynet. They’re asking you to not have veto power over how a democratically accountable military uses a tool it purchased. Their point about “all lawful purposes” is actually the correct institutional boundary: the military operates under law, under civilian control, under congressional oversight"

@radmadvlad @gnukeith I get it. I followed the MK scene a few years ago. I stopped following it because of this shit. People literally compete on how much money they can blow on these things. I suspect these people also complain about how expensive rent is getting.

@ContextlessThot @gnukeith it does but its a different market and the reason they only made 1300 or whatever of them. I can link you like 20 other custom keyboards that are in that $500 price range.
