Mostly about threat detection engineering.

Everyone is still holding out hope for a better future. LLM advocates making this argument are saying that the field can never improve, so might as well just let the mediocre machine run rampant.

Perhaps idealistic, perhaps unrealistic. I'd still rather believe.

I think AI adoption is going to be catastrophic and my only hope is that we can slow down and tread carefully. Chances that occurs are slim. I'm certainly not pro AI. It just really angers me to see people still denying the impact.

I've noticed that a lot of people most skeptical of AI coding tools are biased by their experience working exclusively at some of the top software engineering organizations in the world. As someone who has never worked at a company anywhere close to FAANG, I have worked with both people and organization's that are horrifyingly incompetent. A lot of software organization paradigms are designed to play defense against poorly written software.

I feel similar about self driving cars - they don't have to be perfect when half the people on the road are either high, watching reels while driving, or both.

This has been my experience as well. I see very bright people lampooning LLMs because it doesn't perform up to their expectations when they are easily in the top 1% of talent in their field. I don't think they understand the cognitive load in your average F500 role is NOT very high. Most people are doing jack shit.

Net worth is a funny metric.

Joe has a 300k house with 100k equity and 200k mortgage. He has 100k in stocks in a 401k. Net worth negative 100k.

Pete has $300 in his cheques account, and isn't eligible for loans or mortgage. Net worth positive $300

Obviously Joe is richer than Pete though.

Most people would consider Joe's networth to be $200k.

Is this even detectable? Doesn’t it just show up as a regular mouse and keyboard?

It is. There are a few different methods. If the devices aren't configured to spoof their USB information they typically have manufacturer information in the usb device name, serial, or vendorID. Otherwise searching usb devices by the deviceclass they are using is another good indicator. I've found that these typically show as USB device class 01h (audio) and 08h (mass storage) which is kinda rare. Just have to filter through legitimate USB products.

Don't use these on your corporate devices or the infosec department will think you are a DPRK remote worker.

There still are federal rebates?

Crazy he wouldn't go for a Bolt. I just bought a 2019 Chevy Bolt w/ 11k miles for $14.5k (so a bit over 10k after federal rebate). It has a brand new battery because all the Bolts were recalled for battery issues. Has around 250m range. Feel like I won the lottery. Still plenty of them available https://www.donohooauto.com/searchused.aspx?Make=Chevrolet&M...

Just empirical observations. It takes time to propagate technology down to general businesses and business methods up to technology developers. The "propagate down to business methods" is the slower path, as it requires business leaders to become familiar enough with technology to get ideas on how to leverage it.

This is not a new observation -- Clark's note on overestimating short term and underestimating long term impact of technology is one of my favorite patterns. My 2c.

This is what I try to explain to people who ask "If LLMs are so good why haven't they replaced workers?". Well it takes a long time for the railroads to be built. What use is a locomotive without rails?

Does anyone know how to query what actions have been imported from the Actions Marketplace (or anywhere) in Github enterprise? I've been lazily looking into this for a bit and can't find a straight answer.
