`Baby Steps in C` is hilarious lol. I'll be buying the print editions going forward. They hooked me right in with that.

Anecdotally, we use an LLM note-taker at work for meetings. I had to intervene recently because our CIO was VERY angry at our vendor for something they promised to do and never did. He wasn't at the meeting where the "promise" was made. I was. They never promised anything, and the discussion was significantly more nuanced than what the LLM wrote in the detailed summary.

In other cases, I have seen it miss the mark when the discussion is not very linear. For example, if I am going back and forth with the SOC team about their response to a recent alert/incident. It'll get the gist of it right, but if you're relying on it for accuracy, holy hell does it miss the mark.

I can see the LLM take great notes for that initial nurse visit when you're at the hospital: summarize your main issue, weight, height, recent changes, etc. I would not trust it when it comes to a detailed and technical back-and-forth with the doctor. I would think for compliance reasons hospitals would not want to alter the records and only go by transcripts, but what do I know...

I looked at the recommendations under your comment, but I don't think I'm capable of these either lol

Any recommendations for a technically competent person, but for someone with math knowledge trailing off at Calc 2?

RIGHT! I thought I missed a paragraph or something lol

How would one go about detecting the IMSI commands? Would an advanced radio receiver be able to see these? I know pretty much nothing about SIGINT but been contemplating spending some time learning about it.

That's funny because I've been rejected from Booz Allen so many times lol

Don't forget the audits and compliance reports. No company with a C-suite with more than 3 brain cells combined will be going down that route. People forget that hobby-projects do not have the same legal and business requirements as ... enterprise projects.

lol that prompt is actually pretty decent!

Technical debt increase over the past few years is mind boggling to me.

First the microservices, then the fuckton of CI/CD dependencies, and now add the AI slop on top with MCPs running in the back. Every day is a field day for security researchers.

And where are all the new incredible products we were promised? Just goes to show that tools are just tools. No matter how much you throw at your product, if it sucks, it'll suck afterwards as well. Focus on the products, not the tools.

But seriously, this was really informative!

It's a Friday and your comment is the first thing that got me 10% awake. Please, do spill the tea. There must be a story there...

Maybe it's because I only code for my own tools, but I still don't understand the benefit of relying on someone/something else to write your code and then reading it, understand it, fixing it, etc. Although asking an LLM to extract and find the thing I'm looking for in an API Doc is super useful and time saving. To me, it's not even about how good these LLMs get in the future. I just don't like reading other people's code lol.

Well, this tipped the scale, and I just subscribed. Honestly, so refreshing to have a normal search engine after 2 years of nonstop AI crap thrown at my face.

Wish he took a look at middle-out too. Kind of a missed opportunity tbh.
