this is all fine and good, if you are okay broadcasting your internal hostnames. I suppose it's a trade off some might make.

Kind of reminds me of https://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2008/msg00...

Interesting they could not figure out pattern 1? Wonder if there is any additional metadata to point at a vendor or provider..

Fully agree, the only downside is without a SOC2 you will be asked to fill out an insane 200+ questionnaire. Good news is you have all these great LLM tools you can do this work for you, and just check it over.

We are replacing those with AI agents anyways. It'll be AI agents all the way down!

Believe it or not, straight to jail! Just kidding, great writeup. I know it's not groundbreaking, but does surprise me how many products don't bother with rate limiting controls.

Fascinating to see an outsized increase in "game" development compare to a year ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43154065 (I'm sure someone could throw this into some llm analysis and prove it out, but a quick and dirty count of "game" between then two shows a 2x increase on roughly the same comment count).

I suspect has to do with having agentic coding assist for folks who would otherwise not have the means to develop a game, but now do.

In fact: https://wilgibbs.com/blog/defcon-finals-mcp/

Which makes me think: yes, llms can solve some of this, but still only some. It's more than a research tool, when you combine tools and agentic workflows. I don't see a reason it should slow down.

Ah ha! But now the complete lack of emdash and bullet pointed lists from antislop will be the tell! Riposte!

seconding this. I bought a SteamDeck OLED -- and it blows my mind more people havent heard about these. it's essentially a bad ass handheld laptop. yes it plays games great, but the OS side when you boot into desktop mode is quite capable - I spend more time on it than my home pc these days

specific clarification: That was only Cursor's AWS bill. If they are using other providers, wasn't clear.

I've never heard that, I think you may be thinking of Netflix and their edge storage appliances.

Looks to me like serendipity - they thought 8 bits would be wasteful, they didnt have a need for that many characters.

Yes you can enable specific encryption types for users. It's not super common, but it can be done.

that is wild! I could certainly see this as an attempt to eliminate hiring bias maybe? that was super popular in that time frame, but never heard anybody taking it that far.

I have never heard of IQ tests for hiring, is this for real? I've seen Myers-Briggs and similar personality sorting hats, but never IQ.

Fully agree with this point we all know as engineers this shit is nails on the chalkboard.
