TLDR: be rich.

With open models and the work happening outside of Anthropic and OpenAI, the cat is most definitely out of the bag.

It's funny to think some of the world's largest trades are being done in something that resembles a game's tradechat. (WTS bonds)

In 30 years of using computers, never once have I used cut and paste.

I don't agree that tunneling everything through some external facing proxy is "TLS certificates for internal services done right".

That seems like a pretty controversial take. Why would you not be able to learn things orally?

Why did you not mention LLM use in the post at all?

Are you not using LLMs as part of your toolkit in 2026?

I remember using knoppix on some machine in the school computer room, to sniff everyone's logins using ettercap (pre https adoption). Good times.

Right. `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` is for all intents and purposes equivalent to root.

Well, judging by this thread, it doesn’t seem like it.

It’s really not a good idea to be posting about your case when it hasn’t even been resolved yet.

I did this on my Nokia phone over GPRS in 2005, my program of choice was irssi. We did have a Markov chain bot though.

  See the AT&T/iPad data leak, where AT&T were leaking private information on the internet with no security checks at all. Someone found it, told the press, who in turn told AT&T, but the FBI still investigated it as a "crime", raided their home, charged them with "conspiracy to access a computer without authorization." AT&T go no punishment at all.

I think you are missing some nuance here. They found a vulnerability where they could just increment an "id" and get access to another user's information. They then went ahead and scraped as much as they could. Also this person (iProphet / weev / Andrew Auernheimer) is awful and certainly not a victim. AT&T did not leak the information, Andrew did!

Should they have had better security? Yes. Was the vulnerability extremely basic? Yes. Doesn't change much, a vulnerability was used to dump a bunch of private data.

It’s in a private Ip range so unless you’re inside Iran you’re fine.

Why would you want to give out your contact info to people you didn’t engage with?

The business card is more than just an exchange of phone numbers.

I'm not asking for anything. Just commenting that transcripts of videos make for bad blog posts. I'm not interested in watching the video.

Yes, reading transcripts is a terrible way of ingesting information in my opinion.

This blog post has a really verbose format.

TLDR; White lights are used during the daytime, red lights at night (less annoying), towers under 200 feet don't need blinking lights.
