Any pronouns. 33.

Professional developer and amateur gardener located near Atlanta, GA in the USA.

I'm using a new phone keyboard, please forgive typos.

  • Kind of impressive when you think about it

  • Sometimes I miss Microsoft Lync, but not often.

    I made this comment as a joke but I actually do miss that chats could be in separate windows. s far as I know most major corporate (and non corporate, looking at you Discord) chat platforms don't let you pop out windows.

    Edit: Okay, it's just Discord that's the problem then. It sort of supports it in that it will open the chat in your web browser, but then it does weird things like play the notification sound twice.

  • There's nothing wrong with writing code manually. Over the past few months LLMs have gotten a lot better at writing code than they were before, but they can still make weird mistakes.

    Most Americans say AI development is moving too fast and twice as many are AI pessimists as AI optimists

    Jump

  • What you're calling AI has somewhat shifted to being called AGI. Either way, the ship has long since set sail and LLMs are lumped under the category of AI. That's what it's called. Usage dictates meaning. It's not an endorsement of the technology. The same way the computer AIs in games are called AI even if they aren't "real AI."

  • Microsoft BitLocker-protected drives can now be opened with just some files on a USB stick — YellowKey zero-day exploit demonstrates an apparent backdoor

    Jump

  • Maybe it's just a coincidence! Maybe those files just randomly do that lmao. Including deleting themselves!

    Lol, imagine if they made that defense. "This was the result of an AI hallucination!"

  • Yep, especially because chip manufacturing has such a massive barrier to enter.

  • Microsoft Edge loads your passwords into memory in plaintext, but Microsoft says not to worry

    Jump

  • Don't overthink the metaphor. These things are fragile and fall apart. The "door with a lock" is the "guarantee" (wink wink) that the operating system won't let programs see memory they shouldn't be allowed to. Putting your valuables in a safe instead of sitting in the floor would be encrypting the passwords in memory in the metaphor.

    Also, cyber security and physical security are very different. With cyber security you need to understand that there are orders of magnitude more people looking for simple problems. Like a criminal checking every door in the world automatically, just looking for ones that are unlocked. Someone not being a "target for master criminals" isn't really applicable for this. Besides, that's a critique of what level of security an individual should have, but pointing out the flaw in Edge is a critique of something that claims to be secure that isn't.

  • Microsoft Edge loads your passwords into memory in plaintext, but Microsoft says not to worry

    Jump

  • This is sort of like saying "I leave my valuables in plain sight by my door because it has a lock on it and door locks are trustworthy." I'm not super into cyber security and stuff but it seems like one of the most common problems is programs managing to get access to memory they shouldn't have access to. It seems to happen all the time! Just like many locks for you door are trash.

    Why does Lemmy.ML admire authoritarian regimes ?

    Jump

  • For what it's worth, when I read the OP my brain went to the Berlin wall, not the iron curtain. They said "iron wall," not "Berlin wall" or "iron curtain" so I think there will be a mix of folks interpreting it each way.

  • As trash as LinkedIn is, I've gotten three of my last four jobs through there and a ton of leads and offers. Yeah, I really couldn't imagine getting banned. That freaks me out.

  • The Scottish thing is a scam because they aren't even legally allowed to sell souvenir plots of land. Like obviously nobody in their right mind thinks it makes you a Lord or Lady, but they don't even sell you the land!!!

  • Nintendo sued by players who say they should get any tariff refunds received by the US government

    Jump

  • Depends on what they're selling. If it's not a necessity and more of a luxury then people will buy a lot less when prices rise a lot. They're losing it because people are buying less of their products, not because the company is paying the tariff.
