katehikes88··on We need to rewild the internet
sad thing is that you need to provide a phone number just to read those telegram and discord groups. 4chan is nothing like it used to be. it is run over by bot posts and shills from various interest groups. the amount of genuine anon posts is quite low.

You ought to adjust your expectations because they don't line up with reality. There is nothing particularly surprising or noteworthy about this vulnerability.

But it's the exploit of the week! How can you not be excited about shaming the company for this amazing fuck up!

Positive feedback for is completely missing from the field. Instead security professionals mock developers and celebrate their human errors. This blog post is a good example of that. Everyone has vulnerabilities and security oopsies in their processes. Instead of cataloging individual vulnerabilities it would make sense to catalog the types of responses and claimed process improvements vendors and projects have.

let me guess, you need more?

That's not a pipeline.
katehikes88··on A modest update to Qubes OS
A proof of concept after five years and no serious plans going forward. There are plenty of vaporware with more to show.
katehikes88··on Hallucination is inevitable: An innate limitation of large language models
Have you considered that parts of what you said might be true but you ridicule it only because you associate with the others might be untrue and maybe even ridiculous?

I suppose you didn't see the reply from a developer right under the post you linked.

The bottleneck for speed will be the human examining the documents so there really isn't any difference in the overall time spent. Even without the required human input it doesn't make much difference for such a small amount of files. Most of the time there isn't a much reason to use `fd` or `rg` over more standard tools. Often you get most of the benefit from a single `cd`. When making a script for general consumption and there are possibly larger collective time savings from excluding subdirectories it would make more sense to use `-prune` rather than a niche tool with default rules that might change in the future.

The detail you get is dependent on your prompt and the model you use. The LLM used might not be chatgpt. The level of detail isn't the only thing you should consider. The writing style itself is unmistakably that of an LLM. Also explaining such basic concepts such as pipes is very suspect. Any human browsing this site would assume that everyone is already familiar with them. The nature of the post is such that it mostly appeals to shell enthusiasts anyways. The style shift between the first sentence and the rest of the comment is also quite obvious. The user's other comments do seem genuinely human however.

>oneliners like these

It is literally one pipe. You can't really get simpler than this.

It can with lesspipe but don't you think that's a bit of an overkill for a simple markdown document?
katehikes88··on fd, xargs, bat = quick document review
It is botspam and deserves to be flagged. Go ask chatgpt for explanation yourself instead of polluting forums with generated responses.
katehikes88··on fd, xargs, bat = quick document review
Probably because there is barely anything to explain. It's a babby's first oneliner.

Everything after the first sentence in this comment seems to be LLM generated.

katehikes88··on A modest update to Qubes OS
>multi-user support is planned

The github issues are nothing more than a wishlist. There doesn't seem to be any serious plans for this feature and no one seems interested in working on it. Limiting the user would require rewriting a large portion of the Qubes tools since they assume that the user has unrestricted access to the Xen API. I have looked at the feasibility of doing this myself in hopes of using Qubes in a corporate context but after looking into the architecture it became clear that I would never have time for such an undertaking.

>in the future a "qube" will be able to run on independent hardware

Qubes Air is vaporware and not under active development. There isn't much more to it beyond that blog post.

Why not `find -name '*.fi.md' -exec less {} \;`
