Nearly 8 out of 10 new United States jobs went to foreign-born workers since 2020.

This is incredibly disturbing — and one would presume they’re voting also in this country.

Our country is being taken over without anyone ever firing a single shot.

@USDOL You can only say this when you've eliminated H-1B Visas! No improvement in North Florida.

Chinese Backdoor for Telecom Systems

A while ago we showed the backdoor that the Chinese have been using to maintain persistence across telecom systems.

The backdoor attaches itself to a raw network socket and inspects incoming traffic. It sees packets before firewall rules have a chance to process them. So even if your firewall is configured correctly, the backdoor can still see traffic that should have been blocked.

To access the system hackers send a magic byte to get a reverse shell

We also showed how you can detect it

@kekzploit @CachyOS I say we fork systemd and remove the age verification nonsense.

this guy has 29 models on huggingface at page 2 ranking. no lab behind him. no sponsorship. $2,000 from his own pocket on GPU rentals. he compressed GLM-4.7 to run on a MacBook and quantized Nemotron Super the week it dropped. all public. all free.

nvidia is a trillion dollar company with hundreds of teams but they are not the ones quantizing models middle of the night and pushing them out before sunrise. if nvidia stopped tomorrow their employees stop working. people like @0xSero would not. that is the difference between a paycheck and a mission.

@NVIDIAAI you talk about making AI accessible. the people actually doing it are right here. 29 models deep burning their own compute with no ask except more hardware to keep going. you do not need to build another program. just look at who is already building for you. one GPU to this man would produce more public value than a hundred internal sprints.

i am not asking for charity. i am asking you to invest in someone who already proved it.

個人的には、1976年といえば前年に、キットのIMSAl8080が発売、翌年にはAppleⅡなど最初期のマイコンが発売というタイミングという時代感。
