@halvarflake The foreign held debt is down over the last decade. I think it's around 25% by now and the currency's current instability is probably further lowering the foreign held debt. I sold my US treasury bonds too :)

... the US just prints money to repay the debt, the creditors *will* have paid for it. In the event of a US-China conflict, we also have one country fighting another using equipment financed by borrowing from the adversary. Modern finance is truly glorious.

An interesting thought experiment: The US spends a lot of money on it's military capabilities, largely financed by debt from abroad. It would like other countries to stop freeloading. But if the USD devalues vs other currencies or if the US defaults on debt repayments, or if ...

Oh my oh my. LLMs have cloned the first human. Deepak Chopra is the first person to be in the matrix.

@Rebel44CZ @StillWatersPost In all fairness the electrolyte used in lfp is lipf6 which is highly toxic.

@StillWatersPost The optical fibers are made of glass (the amount of other materials is tiny). And batteries are currently usually LFP (lithium, iron, phosphorus) based chemistry, which isn't problematic. Given all the environmental issues caused by this war, I dont think this will matter much.

Drones will create so much more environmental pollution that the shear scale is breath-taking. I have heard nothing about how to clean-up. Imagine thousands of square kilometers with toxic battery waste scattered in tiny clumps.

Strongly recommend Thais!

@matrosov All the best in your next endeavors

To the Binarly Board, Team, Investors, Partners, and Community: When I started Binarly, we weren’t trying to build another “security” company. We built Binarly to solve a problem that the industry kept ignoring: You can’t secure what you can’t see, and in the software supply chain, too much is invisible. Over the last five years, we built something real. We advanced the state of the art in program analysis, accelerated real-world AI adoption, and raised the bar for vulnerability research. We brought supply-chain security out of theory and into production. We shipped the most advanced product in the market, and we launched open-source projects that have helped raise the bar for the entire industry. Most importantly, we built a team that refuses to accept limits, people who keep going after the hard problems because they matter. That day is now. Not because my passion is gone; far from it. But because it’s time for me to pursue new ventures and contribute in new ways. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and I’m confident in what comes next. Binarly is entering its next phase, and it deserves leadership that wakes up every morning thinking about the mission: scaling this platform, always improving customer service, and winning the market. To our team: You are the reason Binarly exists and succeeds. To our investors: Thank you for your conviction, your patience, and your partnership, especially when the work was hard and the outcome isn’t guaranteed. To our customers and partners: Thank you for trusting us with mission-critical risk, for pushing us to be better, and for placing your trust in Binarly when the stakes were highest. As a continuing Board member, I will remain deeply connected to Binarly and its mission, and I’ll be cheering for this team every step of the way. With gratitude for the journey, and full confidence in the road ahead.

@matrosov @AndrewMohawk and it ain't free

@AndrewMohawk You still need to guide them to the right places ;-)

All the models finding bugs now.

I often argue in private. Arguing is not just about convincing or being convinced, it’s about learning how other people think. That said I frequently update my opinions after a good argument.

No-one will take seriously a weak and divided Europe: neither enemy nor ally. It is already clear now. We must finally believe in our own strength, we must continue to arm ourselves, we must stay united like never before. One for all, and all for one. Otherwise, we are finished.

For those of my friends, colleagues and all the good people I wish you a great new year.

Be kind to other people, work hard, play hard. Brush your teeth, keep away from people on the dark triade, travel, don’t drink and drive, friends are important. Gambling is a net loss activity…

Bob Ross: "Talent is a pursed interest"

How many people of color is in the background?

Wishing all my friends and colleagues who celebrate Thanksgiving a joyful day. I’m truly grateful for each of you and thankful for the support, laughter, and presence you’ve brought into this year.

I have visited Tanzania twice and it’s heartbreaking to hear of violence and death following the election.

Is that what Bob Ross would call a happy accident?

@halvarflake Back in the softice days I did so much debugging. I absolutely loved it. My fling with debug pretty much died with softice.

In the same way there are kleptomaniacs that can't keep themselves from stealing stuff, I suffer from some form of debug-o-mania where I seem to subconsciously seek out life situations that make me spend time debugging in gdb or rr.

@thegrugq @nicowaisman Exploits can be viewed as practical demonstrations — akin to mathematical proofs — of a vulnerability. Yet, as in many disciplines, we frequently settle for less than rigorous proof

@nicowaisman If there is no exploit at all, is it even a vulnerability?

Much like the question of whether a tree falling unheard makes a sound, a CVE that hasn't been verified for exploitability, is it truly a vulnerability?

The violence against civilians in Sudan is a tragedy that needs to end.

My first computer was a 386dx25. 40 years later the design is still influencing chips well beyond x86 instruction set.
