That last paragraph is a compelling point that runs deep.

This thread is incredibly funny.
Apparently, any user can ask Meta's brand new chatbot Muse to zip and send its whole server-side VM OS filesystem system to the user.
@jonny is going live through the intestines of the filesystem right now.
He reports extremely shoddy work while also a lot of malovent instructions by Meta to the chatbot against the user.
We're big fans of Muse (the band) in this household and it's incredibly ironic that Muse (the chatbot) forcibly took the social media handles of Muse (the band). Because what're Muse (the band)'s lyrics often about? Sci Fi and techno dystopia.

I'm hiring an exceptional Offensive Security Researcher for my team at NVIDIA (Offensive Security Research - OSR).
Firmware, microcode, RISC-V, hypervisors, and shipping mitigations like HW CFI, Memory Tagging, and Pointer Masking from the ground up.
DarkMe has dropped the WinRAR and SmartScreen zero-days it used previously. Huntress saw it delivered through a phising-linked .pif file, with persistence hidden behind a custom protocol handler. https://www.huntress.com/blog/darkme-rat-abandons-exploits

So we hear people complaining wind turbine blades supposedly can't be recycled. This isn't true, but even if it were: over its lifetime, a large wind turbine (11MW, offshore), will generate the electrical equivalent of burning ~200,000 tons of coal in an efficient thermal power plant. The total weight of these terrible blades? 100 tons. So spare me the whining.
What is OBJECT_ATTRIBUTES and how it's used?
The Windows API hides it, but every native create or open call needs it.

I started with the “complicated” piece in 2021 or 2022. I finished the hand embroidery but it didn’t feel done, so I stashed it for years. I recently learned to do needle tatting and thought it would be exactly what this piece needed!
That was true enough to get me to also make the “simple” piece, which was tedious because I couldn’t leave any errors at all in it. I had to frog whole lines three times.
RIP Tony Hoare, whose wisdom is needed more every day.
