What are the options available besides using intermediate signing keys? This seems like a weak link in trusting crypto.

Amiga Toaster and AT&T Truevision were great 93-94 era solutions for video processing.

An LLM could equally decompile the binary, clean up the code, and recode it in one /goal.

Now that it has a nice webpage the describes the obfuscation technics, it is basically cracked at this point to next-gen models.

That assumes nothing can detect or analyze it beforehand.

Isn't this where everything is converging? Binary is more efficient than text for many system, including language.

Also, it took a long time for rust to mature to be considered for linux kernel development. AI is faster but easier to integrate.

Having a dress code would help filter out those who don't fit in.

SFU 1.0 and 2.0 relied on the MKS Toolkit by MKS/PTC, and SFU 3.0 later adopted the Interix (OpenNT) subsystem, which Microsoft acquired from Softway Systems in 1999.

The original POSIX Subsystem (psxss.exe) was Cutler's team who implemented a minimal POSIX.1 subsystem server alongside Win32 and OS/2. This was done primarily to satisfy US Federal Government procurement requirements (FIPS 151-2).

Apple containers help here in some regard, no?

The irony is his words just became AI training data to immortalize becoming useful through the point you just made, which is an asterisk on his name.

How do you handle the 'people often learn through repetition' problem?

My car still uses 3G, so not much listening to it anymore.. although oddly enough, when I drive into the dealership, they automatically download vehicle statuses.

Pathways is an urban open problem that companies like GoodMaps are trying to solve, although in a convoluted way (more sensors = more accuracy, but walled-garden is meh).
