I talk to our risk lead and he was also weirdly oblivious as well. The whole company is dependent on them not going down the shitter. Surely that's a tangible risk?

I'm indifferent either way myself. It's just shocking the amount of ignorance.

Oh so these incidents are why we have regulated markets! Who’d have thought?

Indeed.

If you want deniability no one should be doing business with you.

Our lot were. It's like they're now a 5 year old that has been exposed to Italian brain rot for 6 months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaJ0JAsJEAc

Yeah don't start me on using the cloud. I am well aware of that concern.

I am more worried that an LLM company could destroy your entire company by removing access or losing enough cash to go under.

Yeah that. Watched our lot spending 2 hours using Claude to debug shit that was blindingly obvious if they actually didn't go to Claude first.

If Claude goes down or stops existing when we go down, we're fucked.

That’s because the usual dickheads you work with have been filtered out by starfleet academy.

Need more starfleet academy.

I’m using that. That’s exactly what this stuff becomes. At some point it becomes unmanageable for who is looking after it.

Definitely the better CPU. You could write position independent code on it for a start.

Honestly I bought a 6502 (BBC Micro) after I got tired of the Z80.

Not sure why the hell you'd trust Proton in the first place? What they sell is some loose guarantees slapped on a completely insecure protocol with many footguns lying around.

Now we know it's run by a dick too.

They sold fear. That was all.

At least you haven’t spent two weeks in AI strategy meetings with people who have used AI to come up with a strategy for AI to implement because if we don’t, our single competitor will win the AI arms race.

Our products are both mature, entirely finished, fully deterministic and the last attempt at this using the same approach just burned all the money that was spent instead of generating any new revenue.

Hey I assembled that code on paper on my home made computer and I was in Alan Turing's office the other day!

(not even joking)

As someone in the "some of you older programmers may have used Z80 assembly" territory, I find that hilarious.

As someone who designed heavily compartmentalised and isolated systems, nope.

I think the take home here is that there is no such thing as complete isolation in virtualization on modern and complex architectures.

That's a new thing. And it's worse now than it ever has been.

When we had local, properly integrated AD no one had to log into anything other than their computer.

The whole SSO / SAML thing is a huge regression in usability.

I have to laugh at this because this is exactly the sort of shit I’ve been waving my hands about for years on. And it couldn’t happen to a nicer department.

If you have something security sensitive, it should be in a properly secured high side system not on the fucking public internet.

This is a valuable learning exercise for the SaaS consumers. I suspect it’ll be ignored as it’s convenient to point at the vendor and say it was them.

Dunno why you’re downvoted. You’re not wrong.

Trusting an SSO system, or anything with security sensitive data on the public internet presents an attack surface with untenable risk when your adversary is thousands of people with LLM tools.

It’s going to take a lot of this before people realise using someone else’s computer is a pretty fucking stupid idea.

I mean Entra and Okta got popped. That should have been the point companies looked at this risk and went nope.

My ex wife’s diabetes was definitely her fault.

ALL the Studio configurations are cheaper than a Lenovo P4 with AMD consumer CPU, no GPU and shit storage.

I have been wondering recently if Apple are bothering to maintain the Unix side of the OS. Seems like they occasionally remove or deprecate stuff but don’t put any serious effort into maintenance.

This is just another one of those smells.

Israel are easier to blame than the reality, which is some people are entirely feral and will turn legitimate protests into an excuse to riot and loot. It doesn’t need a state actor to amplify this stuff. Just a bunch of idiots in social media bubbles.

It’s only a benefit if it doesn’t bog the next stage down in noise. At that point it could be detrimental.

We already see that with software. It will be exactly the same with drug design.

My daughter is a leading biochem at one of the big pharma companies and that’s their principal worry about this. It’s really easy to create a lot of information these days which compromises the entire process.

Especially seeing is the things break if you fart near them too loudly.

Test cases doesn't mean shit works. It means test cases pass.

About 50% of the test cases I've ever seen are pointless.

I am fairly bothered about that but the one that really gets to me is the inconsistency of user interfaces across applications.

This precisely coincides with the web developers being allowed to wrap stuff into "apps" in Electron and the like.

But it was an EDA suite, not an EDA suite shaped object.

KiCad does an ok job. This does not even do job.
