@danluu part of the argument is that not just that it might not be profitable now, but that the amount of profitable that it would need to be to justify the amount of capital expenditure that has already been made and is promised is numerically impossible. JPMorgan estimated 1.2 trillion in AI debt back in december 2025, goldman sachs estimates another 500 billion in 2026. Where is the evidence that inference is profitable enough to pay off 1.7 trillion? If it was really profitable, all the publicly traded AI companies would be screaming this at the top of their quarterly reports.

A bunch of local companies had an incident when a datacenter fire triggered an extinguisher without proper nozzles installed and the shock wave of the gas killed a bunch of HDDs at once.

Now I wonder if I should move my speakers further away from my desktop machine...

@sassdawe It's just a guess, but Yubico seems to have something similar to what I have in mind: https://www.yubico.com/works-with-yubikey/catalog/secure-disk-for-bitlocker/

@sassdawe Can't you use an external hw token that you could just touch when needed?

I just noticed a maybe lesser emphasized parental instinct: letting children do stuff very inefficiently.

Helping in the kitchen, driving a screw, planting a flower.

Because that's how we learn things and improve.

@hnsec Congrats! :)

It's probably over-attribution, but in the end politicians always first check what everyone else says! So I'll say it anyway: Republik journalism, the gift that keeps on giving.

🎂 IDA Turns 35.
From DOS-era disassembler to one of the most widely used reverse engineering platforms in the world...

To celebrate, we’re launching:
• 35% off new licenses (see eligibility requirements)

• Stories from the past and a few for the future

Read all about it here:

For years, Rust binaries made reversing a nightmare. Modern decompilers only support C, lacking meaningful types, constructs, and language-specific functions. Led by @34r7hm4n, we're releasing our S&P work Oxidizer, the first deep Rust decompiler, built on angr!

Interested? 🧵👇

github is like: "I see you're trying to look at a commit diff, how about skipping the files where the majority of the changes happened?"

@wdormann This must be another income source for Paper Street Soap Co's anarchist side-projects!

@seecurity @freddy Damn, I have to level up my act!

@seecurity @freddy It helps me dealing with taxes a lot if I imagine myself as the protagonist of a Kafka novel (or any other absurd/surreal work). Maybe it helps with SAP/other horrors too?

I'll be back at @recon teaching a training with @KeithRamphal, we'll be bringing our combined malware reverse engineering experience to the masses! Whatever runs, wherever it runs, cause the days of your boring ol' Windows C bot are over. https://recon.cx/2026/en/trainingAdvancedMalwareRE.html
