The good news is that the LLM I'm using to assist class development is inserting a lot of vulnerabilities.

The bad news is that they're not the vulns I want or need.

It does save me time, but I cannot imagine just letting these things develop an entire codebase and then just...shipping it.

I have _TWO_ new songs dropping at @defcon.bsky.social this year.

One is on the @defconmusicorg.bsky.social soundtrack, itโ€™s an ode to Hacker Jeopardy in collaboration with @lintile.lol called DFIU.

One is a 56-bar free verse that will be exclusively available on The Subnet (details below).

The concept has always struck a chord with me though.

If I had to sum up my life perspective with this new word, it would be:

Dream quixotically. Plan pragmatically. Live idealistically. Love recklessly.

New word of the day: Quixotic. "foolishly impractical especially in the pursuit of ideals"

Growing up with Don Coyote and seeing Man of La Mancha got me interested in Quixote, but it wasn't till much later that I read it.

You'll hear me occasionally refer to things as windmills because of this.

One of the things I really love about teaching is that it forces me to really learn things. Not just the thing itself, but how it works, why it works that way, where it came from, etc. Not just how to get something done, but how to do it properly.

But man is it easy to get nerd sniped ๐Ÿ˜…

Spent 10 minutes trying to figure out why my sql script fails on setting up a default user's password.

Turns out ALTAR != ALTER. I guess my spoopy was showing.

Iโ€™ve been using Kagi for about 8 months now and enjoy it. Any time I google on my work laptop itโ€™s extremely jarring.

Itโ€™s nice not having to skip a whole page of sponsored results

Oh, whoops. I just switched away from gsuite and ripped out a bunch of dns records. Must have gotten a little overzealous.

Thanks for the heads up!

I'm sure I'm just discovering something that other people have known forever, but "find the word in scrambled letters" games like Boggle or the millions of mobile games out there are a fantastic way to come up with Sci-Fi and Fantasy names.

Well, Google is finally driving me off of the last service of theirs that I use.

You mean all of those services that I didn't ask for, didn't sign up for, and disable as soon as I'm able to (and continue to disable whenever I notice they "somehow" get re-enabled)?

Circled two Gemini settings that appeared in Google Workspace administration panel after Gemini went live. Even if you made sure to disable Gemini before it left beta, these two new settings appeared enabled by default.

The circled ones are the new options. I don't know why I bothered blanking out the domain...it's very easy to find.... ๐Ÿ˜…
