pizzalife··on Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
Think of it more like writing a wormable exploit. If you unleash something like that, you will be found criminally liable, even if you didn't personally approve every machine getting popped.
pizzalife··on Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating?
Writing software that gets used for crime has been.. a crime, for a long time. See 18 U.S. Code § 1030.
pizzalife··on PlayStation cancels Kojima's PHYSINT, Xbox steps in
I totally disagree. Death Stranding was groundbreaking in many ways.
pizzalife··on The Real Luxuries In Life
TLDR: be rich.
pizzalife··on Norway Should Buy OpenAI
With open models and the work happening outside of Anthropic and OpenAI, the cat is most definitely out of the bag.
pizzalife··on Gloomberb
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)
pizzalife··on Ghost Cut – or why Cut and Paste is broken everywhere
In 30 years of using computers, never once have I used cut and paste.
pizzalife··on TLS certificates for internal services done right
I don't agree that tunneling everything through some external facing proxy is "TLS certificates for internal services done right".
pizzalife··on It seems that the age of reading might be a short anomaly in human history
That seems like a pretty controversial take. Why would you not be able to learn things orally?
pizzalife··on Chasing the OPNsense RCE: The Story Behind My First CVEs
Why did you not mention LLM use in the post at all?

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

pizzalife··on Knoppix
I remember using knoppix on some machine in the school computer room, to sniff everyone's logins using ettercap (pre https adoption). Good times.
pizzalife··on You gave me a u32. I gave you root. (io_uring ZCRX freelist LPE)
Right. `CAP_SYS_ADMIN` is for all intents and purposes equivalent to root.
pizzalife··on Talkie: a 13B vintage language model from 1930
This is cool. Is it possible to easily install with ollama?
pizzalife··on The 'untouchable hacker god' behind Finland's biggest crime
Well, judging by this thread, it doesn’t seem like it.
pizzalife··on The 'untouchable hacker god' behind Finland's biggest crime
It’s really not a good idea to be posting about your case when it hasn’t even been resolved yet.
pizzalife··on Stop Doom Scrolling, Start Doom Coding: Build via the terminal from your phone
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.
pizzalife··on Using TypeScript to obtain one of the rarest license plates

  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.

pizzalife··on “Boobs check” – Technique to verify if sites behind CDN are hosted in Iran
It’s in a private Ip range so unless you’re inside Iran you’re fine.
pizzalife··on Auraphone: A simple app to collect people's info at events
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.

pizzalife··on Why do some radio towers blink?
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.
pizzalife··on Why do some radio towers blink?
Yes, reading transcripts is a terrible way of ingesting information in my opinion.
pizzalife··on Why do some radio towers blink?
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.

pizzalife··on Duke Nukem: Zero Hour N64 ROM Reverse-Engineering Project Hits 100%
I use the following IDA pro MCP plugin for this: https://github.com/mrexodia/ida-pro-mcp
pizzalife··on Offline card payments should be possible no later than 1 July 2026
>Is this motivated by a need to prepare for war?

In short, yes.

>The possibility to pay by card when the internet is not working – ‘so-called offline payments’ – is an area that ‘the Riksbank believes needs to be improved considerably, particularly in light of the geopolitical unease in the world,’ according to the announcement

pizzalife··on An attacker’s blunder gave us a look into their operations
Indeed, this article makes them look bad. Seems completely tone deaf to release this as a puff piece about the product.
pizzalife··on Interview with Geoffrey Hinton
“Show some respect?”

Do these historical accolades give him a blank check to be wrong in the present?

pizzalife··on Flunking my Anthropic interview again
I also got rejected by Anthropic, and now I’m working at an amazing startup instead. Anthropic’s hiring process is dumb, you shouldn’t take it personally.
pizzalife··on I hacked Monster Energy
There is a market for capabilities, i.e zerodays in widely used software. It has value, sometimes in the millions.

No one will buy some shitty XSS on a public website.

pizzalife··on I Hacked McDonald's (Security Contact Was Harder to Find Than Secret Recipe)
This guy could easily get indicted under CFAA. This isn’t how you conduct “white hat” security research lmao. If they don’t have a clearly outlined bug bounty program, you are in a pickle. Especially with using legitimate employee credentials.
pizzalife··on '70 MPH e-bikes' prompt one US state to change its laws
The 20kg bike would accelerate roughly twice as quickly as the 40kg bike. Accelerating super quickly is not safe.
