<p>Olá a todos, eu recentemente estava estudando sobre  criptografia e esbarrei no conceito  CSPRNG para geração de numero aleatórios seguros e descobri que funciona no Java Script e desenvolvi um projeto paralelo "um gerador de senhas" tanto aleatórias com caracteres especiais, números, maiúsculas, minúsculas e também trabalha com senhas-frases. 
não acho que esse projeto possa ter futuro pois já existem vários no mercado embutido no gerenciadores de senhas mais ele é totalmente open-source escrito sobre o Neutralino.js e possui binários para Windows, Linux e MacOS.<p>Ele possui também instalador mais é opcional vou deixar também ele como executável para quem não deseja instalar na pagina de release do GitHub.<p>Caso algum interesse em fazer auditorias ou sugerir melhorias vou deixar o repositório do aplicativo abaixo.<p>GitHub: https://github.com/higorfernandoeliseo/PasswordGApp<p>Obrigado caso alguém tenha lido isso.</p>

<p>I was saving a reset on Claude until today and maximising my usage because of it, i.e. I'm almost out of tokens.<p>When I went to use my reset this afternoon (which was listed as expiring on the 22nd Oct), it said it was no longer valid as it had expired, despite still being in a window I had opened this morning and it still being the 22nd.<p>I asked support and a very nice Claude explained they didn't do human support and they don't do resets so I was shit out of luck.<p>Bearing in mind I pay £900 a year for the product, I thought I might get a little more leeway, but there you go.<p>Tomorrow when I run out of tokens I'll be checking out the competition on OpenRouter, which seems like an own goal on Anthropic's part.<p>PSA: Claude resets expire at some point before they say they do, and there is no support.</p>

<p>Sorry if its a stupid question, but...<p>If a PHP vulnerability allows remote code execution, could it be used to automatically patch the vulnerable servers before attackers exploit it?<p>In theory, could a proof of concept detect vulnerable installations, apply the appropriate security fix, and verify that the patch was successful?<p>What technical or practical obstacles would prevent this from working safely at scale?</p>

<p>Everyone is rushing to develop an “AI chief of staff” which replaces the human role entirely. But I feel like that’s taking the wrong perspective altogether. Decisions must remain human-made. The thing that’s missing is timely, relevant information.<p>Right now, leadership has to hop through multiple dashboards, lengthy slides or pdf documents, and platforms trying to find the context of reality of a situation. Each platform holds some data and nobody ever pulls information from all of them. In addition, LLMs mean starting from zero every time – explaining the background context, teaching skills and configuring MCP before you can start doing something.<p>We are working on something better. Connect your tools (CRM, Slack, calls, issue tracker), and we’ll keep track of all the context and changes for you. We’ll monitor external environment as well – news, filings, events on your customers and your own profile, competition. When something important happens, you’ll get notified and links to the sources. Otherwise, it remains silent and let you focus on the decisions – while we handle everything else.<p>We are early in development and discovery process ourselves, so please share your thoughts with us:<p>Do you face this problem too? How do you handle it today?
What would make you wary of a tool like this?
Would you use it once it’s ready?<p>If you’d like to be part of the journey, comment below or email me at rearviewmine@gmail.com :)</p>

<p>Four forces: 1) Books like "Why Johnny Can't Read" (1955) and  "Why Johnny Can't Add" (1973), 2)  emotional intelligence, like in Goleman, 3)   kids creating new social structures, a little further than Postman World Makers, 4)  letting kids learn at different paces.<p>I think the people in HN are like in such a school, they will to live in a world in which entry levels are not required but you need to learn the basic to understand where the complexity is, and at the same time, there is the need to exploit all the power that automation provides but without imagination other will, in the long term, take the lead.<p>I don't know whether kids will have the possibility to adapt or if they will just live accepting whatever the dynamic of the AI imposes on them, but perhaps we have a small window to suggest some useful ideas for our schools, so how are we going to rethink schools?</p>

<p>I'm the developer of NeoBox (https://neo-box.app). It's a Neo Geo emulator frontend for Mac + iPhone + iPad as one universal app.<p>I'm using Rupert Carmichael's amazing Geolith library https://gitlab.com/jgemu/geolith for the actual emulation. I then have a Metal-backed rendering pipeline.<p>Recent versions where I was porting NeoBox for iPhone and testing on my iPhone 15 Pro, I noticed it getting hot! Granted I've had the phone for a few years, but I was wondering if there were was something I could do about it. Enter Claude...<p>Started profiling a frame and where time was being most spent, and it turns out that <i>81% of the frame time was being spent on signal masks</i>. What this mean that a Neo Geo frame was taking <i>8.5 ms on Apple silicon</i>.<p>That's all fine and dandy on my MacBook Pro with an M1 Max chip...but definitely was causing heat and battery drain issues on my iPhone. You would figure that most time should be on emulation time and not on two specifically on sigprocmask and sigalstack.<p>Went deep with Claude and here's what I learned:<p>- How the CPU is being emulated, it traps errors before touching memory<p>- Almost 25,000 times per frame!<p>- The guard was using setjmp, which also saves the signal mask<p>- But saving the mask was unnecessary, but that's setjmp's default behavior<p>- There's a variant _setjmp, that SKIPS that signal mask... and thus is WAY faster<p>- measured on my iPhone: setjmp 281 ns per cal, _setjmp 2.1 ns per call<p>- That's around <i>130x improvement</i><p>I'm happy to say that the change and improvement has been graciously merged upstream so anyone using Geolith can reap the benefits, not just NeoBox: https://gitlab.com/jgemu/geolith/-/merge_requests/64<p>I just wanted to share this story as a gentle reminder to give back when you can graciously and without any sense of entitlement. AI can be a force for good should we choose it. Also it's fun to freshen and learn more about OS primitives and syscalls :)</p>

<p>Hello World!<p>So I am new to the world of cybersecurity, and after some back and forth with AI, I chose to use a specific tool that was recommended for automated vulnerability detection & patching, but I think the issue I encountered is something common to all similar platforms that provide AI security fixes in 2026.<p>It proposed a fix to an issue labeled 'critical'. I gave the specific file and the fix to Gemini, and, it disagreed strongly.<p>My trust in the platform immediately degraded.<p>It shows in my thinking that AI security platforms for repositories are unreliable, unless you cross check every critical/high vulnerability as a human with another AI tool as well. For example, for another issue labeled 'High', the fix, I cross-checked, was correct in that case.<p>But that that one 'critical' issue, which turned out to be not a bug at all, and certainly not critical at all, has degraded my trust strongly in AI security platforms for automated vulnerability detection & patching. Note, to prevent confusion, with automated patching I mean automated pull requests with AI-proposed fixes, pending explicit human merging.<p>Now, I wonder what you guys use (instead, if at all), and how reliable your security tool(s) are, if at all, for automated vulnerability detection (& patching.)<p>Happy Coding!<p>Worldwide Wishes,<p>Behan</p>

True?]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>After submitting a lot of CVs recently, I’ve separately been asking recruiters and hiring managers, in-house and agency, how they’re coping now that applications can be written, enhanced or fabricated by AI, and graded by AI.<p>An in-house recruiter at a 2,000-person company said their ranking tool grades CVs A to D, and the people they end up hiring are frequently the C’s. An agency director trialled fully automated screeners and said they “overlooked some of the strongest candidates”. A hiring manager, after a run of fabricated applications, built their own grader and auto-rejects anyone who matches the job spec too closely, on the basis that no real candidate meets 100% of the requirements. I’ve seen a few similar posts along the lines of “I’d probably be rejected applying for my own job”. 
Everyone said most CVs now have AI involvement, many are the job spec fed back as experience, and the truth only comes out on the screening call.<p>If you hire engineers or any other role: has the CV stopped carrying signal for you, and what are you using instead? If AI screening is actually working for you, which tool and how? I’d like the counter-examples as much as the confirmations.</p>

<p>I just received an OpenAI privacy policy update email with the following:<p>> Ads may appear on Free and Go plans. Plus, Pro, Enterprise, Business and Education plans do not have ads. Ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you. When you see an ad, it is always clearly labeled as sponsored and visually separated from the organic answer.<p>> Your personal details and conversations with ChatGPT are private and are not shared with advertisers. Advertisers do not have access to your chats, chat history, memories, or personal details.<p>This is a bit deja vu because the verbiage is very similar to what is initially rolled out with every platform that starts experimenting with ads. If history is any indication, A/B testing will eventually and gradually, without the need for any central conspiracy, erase the said visual distinction, and revenue pressure on the ads division will eventually result in TOS amendments to dilute the data protections to whatever is minimally required by law.</p>
