The 1Password analysis mentioned in today's story is worth reading:

"By all accounts, AI is quite good at finding security holes in software. But for now at least, patching the resulting bugpocalypse remains a heavily human-centric endeavor, and the jury is still out on whether AI technologies will turn out to be as good at fixing vulnerabilities as they are at finding and exploiting them. This is an important question when one considers that these same AI technologies also are suggesting fixes for the vulnerabilities they find."

"Researchers at 1Password recently examined what happens when different large language models (LLMs) generate vulnerability patches for newly disclosed, complex vulnerabilities. They found the LLMs produced patches that failed to fix the flaw or added a new weakness in the process (or both) more than half the time."

My dear Windows (ab)users! It's time to get your patch chaps on! Microsoft today shipped updates to fix nearly 400 security vulnerabilities in its various Windows OSes and related software.

"August's overstuffed bundle of patch joy from Microsoft did not eclipse its recording breaking release of more than 570 security updates last month, but it is double June's then-record batch of nearly 200 fixes. Microsoft has attributed the recent patch deluge to vulnerability discoveries aided by artificial intelligence, and experts roundly agree that Windows users should get used to the idea of Patch Tuesdays (the second Tuesday of each month) covering hundreds of newly discovered security flaws."

Western government leaders call for a focus on infrastructure resilience, not AI hype https://www.cybersecuritydive.com/news/ai-cybersecurity-resilience-black-hat-government-panel/827137/

As much as they got shat on, the final generation of actual embedded electronic car dashboards have a dense compactness and customization and charm sourced from their unpretentious engineering inception, before high-level "unified glass cockpit" website design infected cars.

Why call them Meta glasses, not Suspectacles?

To teach my students the fallacy of "I have nothing to hide", I simply ask them to tell the whole class about the last time they masturbated.

It is surprisingly efficient, they immediately grasp it. I never had someone argue with me on the subject after that.

i love seeing creative qr code designs, so i made this guide explaining what tricks you can (and can't!) do with qr codes while still keeping them very much readable

have fun and make cool stuff!!
