Two of the biggest attack surfaces in #infosec are: confusing the data plane with the control plane (think buffer overflow to code execution) where attacker data is given control, and social engineering to convince an actor to do something unusual.

#LLM's elevate both of these to new heights. They are literally designed to facilitate both of these patterns.

Instructions and data to operate on are delivered together, and the instructions' phrasing can influence the processing.

Friendly reminder that all those emo kids are full grown adults now. If you were an emo kid, please tell me if you are still so fabulous.

This is a more Green Day Type Emo, Billy Joe haircut, black with blonde streaks, t-shirt with a tie
Giant black hair cut in a rocker girl shape, thick black eye liner, so many necklaces involving black leather and skulls
Bright long green hair, all the black eyeliner, choker necklace, green and black skull t-shirt

Every Gaming Company:

We are introducing a magical open world for you to explore, you're gonna fight like 6 monsters, but mostly you're going to do the same chores you should be doing in your house right now, over and over and over and over...

Laying in bed, under comfy covers. The windows are open just a bit to let in a cool breeze and the sound of rain. For a brief moment, nobody needs anything from me, and there is nothing I have to do right now, but be. Had a nice dinner with the wife, kid got to do fun stuff this evening.

It's a tiny moment of joy

Soon enough I'll have to pick back up tasks and worries and plans, but not just yet.

Be kind to yourself

Recognize these moments.

Resets the sign to zero for "days since it was an expired TLS certificate"

It's DNS. It's always DNS. When it's not DNS, it's certificates. But it's always DNS.

It's 2024. How was this not automated?

Minor annoyance. Ordered food for pick up. Got it home. They forgot the guac. Noooooooo!

Recognizing the last time you do something, is a gift. It may be sad and traumatic, or a complete non event you don't recognize until well after.

Seeing someone for the last time before they die unexpectedly is the extreme example. But what about the last time you ate at that restaurant, before it closed?

The last piggyback ride you gave your kid, just because they got too big?

The last time you re-read a favorite book?

Our lives are full of "last time" moments we never notice. #mindfullness

BYTE Magazine cover from 1993.

Without looking it up, take a guess in replies what they mean by "low cost".

Solution is in a CW’d reply.

Coffee fedi, help me out.

I'm getting more and more milk/lactose intolerant as I get older, but lactose free milk is too sweet for me.

I don't sweeten my coffee, and even lactose free milk with no sweetener else makes my coffee too sweet.

So, what do I replace my milk with when I order coffee?

Doing a terrible @RickiTarr impression, trying to promote an interesting discussion...

Ok, you get 3 classic genie wishes. No meta wishes for more wishes, no monkey paw tricks, just plain spoken "what do you want?" Only catch is they have to be at least a bit self serving.

I'll start.

I wish for:

1)"ongoing Great health for me and my family"

2)"To feel rested and refreshed after every night's sleep"

3)"to have as much fun, and be as happy as otters in the aquarium seem to be having"

Too many TV shows now make the mistake of having every character be extremely attractive, but that's bad because extremely attractive people aren't particularly distinctive.

You can only have so many hot people in a big cast of characters before it starts getting hard to remember who is who.

Moderate success for a post- #diabetes (had a Dx 1.5 years ago, cleared the A1c back to normal a year ago) lemonade.

My body tolerates Monkfruit and allulose as non-blood-sugar- spiking sweeteners.

Tried a 1:1:3 ratio of Monkfruit-allulose, lemon juice, and water and came up with a pretty tasty lemonade.

The lemon juice (for a half cup) is only like 2g of sugar and 7g carbs.

Watching the old 70s "Wonder Woman" #tv show for nostalgia. Oh my. It's not as cringe as I expected, but it's very ... 70s.

Lynda Carter is still beautiful, but so very young. Great smile. Probably one of my first TV crushes.

The pacing for shows from the 70s is very different.

I'm morbidly curious about the #sotu response given the commentary I've been reading, but don't want to give YouTube even a single click as "interest".

Any peertube instances have it? My search fu is weak, and Ive not really played with Peer tube much. Any good meta search engines to find things like this?

This is the kind of news that should be easy to find, as we bring more folks to fediverse services.

Thanks

Articles in which people with bad opinions complain at length that their bad opinions make it difficult for them to get laid demonstrate that at least something is still functioning properly in this dystopian hellscape.

Kid just suggested a #DC #Marvel cross over "what if". What if Thor and Wonder Woman hung out together?

Pretty sure it isn't a date, but I can see them having a fellow warrior hang out, which leads to a drinking contest, which leads to an arm wrestling contest, and now I want to see Gail Simone write this.

I would so read that.

It's been 21 years and 29 days since Tor Books published my first novel, Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom. In the years since, Tor has published every one of my novels, sending me around the USA and Canada to talk about them. Now, they've teamed up with @humblebundles to sell 18 of my ebooks on a name-your-price basis, with part of the proceeds going to benefit @eff:

Have you ever been laying around, and realized your arm was in a strange position, and it felt weird, so you try to move it into a more natural position, but now you're hyper aware of how you position your arms, and it all feels weird, so you start questioning whether you know how to have arms?

This also applies to breathing.

Almost finished with audio book of "The Raven Tower" by Ann Leckie.

https://libro.fm/audiobooks/9781549115790?rf_code=lfm473963

But it looks like there is no sequel. Already read her "Ancillary" series and enjoyed that too.

Big fan of the "Murderbot Diaries" by Martha Wells, "The Broken Earth" by N.K Jemisin, and the "Children of..." Series by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

What should I read or listen to next?
