Thank you. You saved me a Google search.

Who the hell in the real world thinks prompt injection is “like SQL injection”?

Old business guys?

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

Artemis is a boondoggle corporate giveaway. Its main purpose is to funnel money into the pockets of big contractors as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I worked on it for a year and a half, and saw so much mismanagement and self-sabotage, I can’t even say. I’ve made multiple posts about it in the past. NASA spent $10 million at least having my team fail to build something that we could have built for probably $2.5 million. Most of that money vanished into the pockets of a giant, evil corporation that mostly builds weapons. I can tell you the guys (and they were all men) that we worked with from that company were laughing all the way to the bank when they canceled our project. Now they’re launching without that component.

I have lots of feelings.

Capitalism is happy to have cheap code that works “well enough” to sell, and mostly prefers it to expensive code that works “really well.”

The future is full of buggy ass code that runs most services and devices, who’s main priority is vacuuming up data about its users and everyone and everything around them, and then a few high quality products and services only the rich can afford.

The NPM ecosystem has been ripe for this kind of invasion over a decade. And I don’t want to make generalizations or throw shade at a whole class of people, but over the years I have met a lot of very complacent, very naive about security Node devs (some of whom have gotten very frustrated with me for raising concerns about the ecosystem being a ticking time bomb).

I’ve been expecting something like this for years.

I think this is getting downvoted because the headline sounds like it’s casting shade. It’s not, it’s actually an historical reference to a political movement from 100 years ago.

Checkmate evolutionists!

The user’s code is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in certain edge cases. I need to patch the vulnerability and commit the patch to the repo.

I should rewrite the existing memmanage() function to handle these edge cases. (Silently removes all other functionality)

I should modify garbagecollect() to detect these edge cases. I’ll rename it to garbage_collector() for clarity and readability. (Renames the function, calls it no where)

(Confidently) I modified the program as requested, the new version of your application should be more secure and handle memory issues much more efficiently.

Add a GPU and mine some crypto, add a GPU and mine some crypto, add a GPU and mine some crypto, earlie in the mornin’!

I’ve been forseeing a supply chain apocalypse, especially in the NPM ecosystem, coming for years. Exacerbated by LLMs telling people what libraries to use, including versions, and then people just cut and paste that in and walk away. Our standard practice of devs doing all their coding on a messy local machine, just running whatever stacks they’re working with on bare metal, often side by side, just in different virtual environments, always seemed like a powder keg waiting to go off.

Now with glassworm and shai halud, I’m feeling very prescient.

Good Christian kid from a good, wealthy Christian family. Are you really gonna destroy his life over a bit of fun?

Sounds like he needs the Brock Turner treatment.

I thought she said she yesterday that she didn’t mean subsidies when she was talking about government backstop.

What is it when you accidentally say the thing you weren’t supposed to, then say you didn’t mean it, but then immediately try to do the thing you said you weren’t gonna do after you said you were?

The Democrats lose because people with power and money make sure they can never run the people who would actually represent their base. “We can’t get young people to vote.” That’s because of the candidates you’re running, not because young people don’t want to vote. And we know, we can tell, you would never in a million years run candidates young people would vote for, because that’s not and never has been who you are or what you want. You would rather lose to insane criminals than allow the kind of change your base wants to actually have a chance of happening. Fuck you.

Nah nah nah nah nah. Nah nah nah nah nah. Hey hey hey…

Agreed. I had a consulting gig once, actually doing cyber security for Meta. They made us take an automated training, part of which was listening to videos of Mark Zuckerberg talking unironically about how important privacy is to the culture of Meta. The thing is, they had no good mechanism for making sure you actually watched the video. You could just mute Mark and then keep an eye on the run time, because at the end there would be a quiz. Most of the quiz questions were super stupid intuitive like “A friend asks you to use your Meta access to do X to their profile for them, what should you do?” And then multiple choice, with a bunch of obvious bad answers like “Like just do it, it’s fine.”

The only reason I don’t own a firearm is I have a loved one in the house with suicidal ideation. Broadly, I agree with you.

If you’re wondering how it is that I sing three part harmony…
