Thucydides said that the Athenians "were born into the world to take no rest themselves and to give none to others" but frankly that just sounds like a new parent talking.

@ZackKorman @Abdulrahman973_ @feross Scroll up? He was replying to @karpathy's quote tweet of his tweet with links not present in his original tweet.

Big day: toddler’s first data breach!

@zeeg Check out the venerable @wesmckinn 's new thing: https://t.co/n2ATgc2x6C

Not really read/write yet for mail/cal but it's a pretty dope start if you're in an agent loop all day anyway. Besides that there are Gmail CLIs etc.

On your last point... the distillation stuff just seems completely brutal (even if the weights were tractable to protect which... they are not).

It even seems plausible that the smarter the model the less data you need to steal (geniuses recognize genius when they see it).

It's like EUV machines make of oxygen. You kinda have to build a singularity or die.

@martin_casado Feels like the silicon story to me but on turbo meth (dollars 10x, timelines .01x, switching costs .0001x).

@almonk Just tried switching from Blink... feeling kinda dumb but where's the option key?

@eladgil If it's still chilly just wander into the Continental Club, the Broken Spoke, the White Horse, or C-Boy's and relax.

Did someone in the administration find this old Popular Mechanics spread from 1940?

I moved to Austin after it was cool but before it was cool again.

As a response to socialism, Miami will replace NYC as the finance capital and Austin will replace SF as the tech capital.

@Austen @typesfast @seanfrank My HW4 MY reproducibly loves to try to take a right on the red arrow at Toomey and Lamar...

[Ryan Noon @internet_meme]

You're right.

I like FDEs as much as the next person with dozens of @PalantirTech friends over decades but FDEs as they conceive of it (and theoretically as others are now imitating) are overkill for ordinary technology at even ordinary large enterprises.

If you're building regular SaaS with a regular SaaS price point and you do proper FDEs you're very likely to build an SE org you can't hire properly into as you scale (and worse) a product with mushy differentiation and inadequate last-mile fit and finish compared to your competitors.

Hopefully this gets watered down into another Data Science thing where an existing tribe adopts a sexy job title and a new generation of ambitious people can bring pride back to the function.

Congrats to this crew! Proud to have written a small check a while back.

[Daniel Kelly @dan__kelly]

Excited to share what we've been working on at Method and announce our $26M in funding from Andreessen Horowitz, General Catalyst, Blackstone, and others.

I met @___sjones and Sean ten years ago at @PalantirTech.

We always talked about starting a company together, and when we saw how AI would shift the balance of power in security, we had no choice not to.

We started Method to build the tools that American cyber defenders need to achieve real resilience in the face of autonomous threats.

Two years in, we've put together an incredible team of engineers and operators to go after this mission and are deployed with some of the top security teams in the country.

We're grateful to be backed by investors like who believe that American cyber resilience is a challenge worth solving.

We are just getting started.

At this point I'll just name him "utils"

Ransomware has appeared in the VS Marketplace and makes me worry. Clearly created through AI, it makes many mistakes like including decryption tools in extension. If this makes it into the marketplace through, what impact would anything more sophisticated cause?

@davidu If we can somehow make it exclusive and tie it into the credit card lounges we're going to see a lot of Elite Overproduction in no time.

The SleepyDuck code extension malware is an advanced remote access trojan allowing for remote command execution on any endpoint that installs it. Take down the C2 server? It uses an Ethereum contract to update its settings to a new endpoint.
