Thanks to all the hard-worker x33fcon organizers for such an awesome conference, definitely my best conf experience to date.
I don't think we'll see this for sum-zero game type of jobs (like offense or defense) the pace increased for both players and who is slowing down loses. Different story for jobs without an "enemy" like food provision, where I currently believe we'll get to 0 working days pretty fast.
Wrapped up Stanford CS336 (Language Models from Scratch), taught with an amazing team @tatsu_hashimoto@marcelroed@neilbband@rckpudi. Researchers are becoming detached from the technical details of how LMs work. In CS336, we try to fix that by having students build everything:
@NullMode_ Got an APC Smart-UPS 1500VA rack mounted since 2 years. Quite happy with it. Make sure to choose an UPS that is capable of pure sine wave output
When you need to put the cat out of the sack to vendors and clients you'd better share what you found otherwise imposters will do before you stealing your credit. It all boils down to knowing when to share to vendors and clients and getting credit publicly when it's not an internal technique anymore. I see it as a simple risk-management scenario.
This is because future budgets are largely driven by "historical spending" and not by efficiency. No one ever wanted to judge other Departments' spending thus making enemies and risking careers. Historical spending is a "solution" that avoids human weaknesses and democratizes inefficiency making it the norm. Spreading inefficiency over a certain threshold makes it unattributable. So vast that no one will pay for it. Genius game going on for decades everywhere
This has been one of my favorites for a while, but now it's time to let it go.
Here's my preferred way of getting the KeePass db that we often hunt for:
downgrade the executable to version 2.53, use CVE-2023-24055 and wait for the busy admin to trigger the dump of the database.
The target can remain clean and you can simply check for the dump creation.
KeePass version 2.53 can still open kdbx created with the version 2.57 and if using a proper xml the user will likely notice nothing.
Update alerts can also be disabled within the xml.
