Using a variety of analogy puzzles, SFI researchers have shown that the reasoning abilities of OpenAI’s GPT-4 model fall short when faced with small changes. Recognizing the limitations of these tools is critical to knowing when and to what extent they can be trusted. santafe.edu/news-center/new...

This seems like a phisher's dream. Announcing that a government email is about to go out and that recipients are required to respond to it seems like the kind of thing cybercriminals would love to spoof in order to infect workers or trick them into revealing their login credentials.

Did you know there’s a whole spectrum of stuff in between “spend all weekend cleaning your house” and “don’t do anything at all because it’s so overwhelming”? Wipe down one counter. Put away half a load of laundry. Vacuum one room. You can do a little bit, and it helps! And then you can stop!

As any good psychologist, I barely ever read anything written by people outside of my field and have no idea who most of them are. But the first time I read something by Manski I immediately knew that he must be an absolute legend, and he hasn't disappointed so far.

North Korea is a black hole for information -- at least I knew very little about it beyond headline caricatures. This here is a fascinating long discussion on all facets of life in the dictatorship: propaganda and indoctrination, nukes, the surprising economic and political power wielded by women...

Ghidra 11.3 is OUT!  PyGhidra is the new feature to be excited about.  It’s a Python library providing direct access to the Ghidra API.    I expect this to massively increase Reverse Engineering tool development, as it significantly reduces the barrier to entry for Ghidra interaction.

Oh man, I have so many stories about that "startup". The founder Marshall Webb spent a year harassing me because I posted a research paper on the Mirai botnet (he considered himself to be the sole authority). It later turned out his knowledge came from him personally hosting their infrastructure 1/5
