That is a fair criticism. I’m letting my frustration with longer-term behaviors in social media influence my comments, and this is an inappropriate forum. I appreciate the correction.
They (folks who work at a place like binance) look at banks with contempt for that speed. And I don’t entirely disagree with them. But you’re absolutely right, it’s hard to compromise something that moves at such an…
Jamie Dimon does not have credentials to log into back office systems at JPMS. I’d be surprised if he even had access to execute wire/asset transfers via front-end tools. Best a hacker could probably achieve is sending…
Glad someone else noticed that. I’m going to sound like an ass, but is this the sort of crap we’re going to see published in 10yr when all these crypto folk grow up a bit and start reflecting on their “glorious…
Hey now, that's for tomorrow when someone writes an article about LLM contribution to these security events.
I worked on a non-crypto, sensitive financial system two decades ago and similarly the end servers that ran the application stack were severely stripped down Linux instances with no shell, no interface to interact with…
And the amount of process and control around a wire transfer is monstrous to reduce risk. Watching crypto rediscover 100yr of financial regulation and system/process design has never not been amusing to me, esp as…
I think what’s not being considered here is if the barrier for entry of a product is so ridiculously low that a single individual can kick off a few agents to build it then work the sales channels, the companies buying…
The first paragraph of the article drove me insane for that reason. MNPI is one of the bedrocks For a stable market system. If you trust, on some level, that the people who are counterparty to your trade and not pulling…
Oh boy do I have opinions (mostly in line with your’s), but I actually think there’s another factor of “Devs left to the own devices will still write software.” It’s a “problem solving” skill set with a very low ceiling…
I think it is more likely SWE thought they were not replaceable where any function in a company is replaceable with enough motivation (whether wise or not). The other issue I’ve been mulling over is two part. What in…
I look forward to the LLM equivalent of lmgtfy in its original form.
I know I’m bordering on repetitive and strongly negative, but the combination of the two barriers you mentioned has all but halted all of my interaction with agents. Even ones that cannot be easily dismissed (like the…
Seems like the devices they found in the IBM Selectrics during Project GUNMAN (though, same ‘conflict’). https://media.defense.gov/2021/Jul/13/2002761779/-1/-1/0/LEA... Haseltine’s The Spy in Moscow Station is also a…
> security has a cost associated with it, and unless there are _real_ consequences, it's a cost that most software houses ain't gon' pay. Good to see someone say this. Software need only be good enough to do the job,…
I’ve only worked in a single company where it really worked out, and it took a massive amount of work to massage egos on both sides of the “fix” (one side sees their hammer tool and wants to fix everything with it, and…
This isn’t just AI…it’s ‘enterprise-AI’. It’s AI, but with more bureaucracy and politics.
But I think you can do psychotic shit like applying punishing sanctions to anywhere that permits an ungoverned connection. Or apply physical force (military). I’m not saying we’re even remotely close to this, I’m just…
I’ll believe it. If someone were to try to achieve the same in my area (not even high speed rail), between two metropolitan areas, they’d have to contend with thousands of private land owners. I lived in the UK for a…
Shit, MIAX is just the old BATS/Cboe technology with some local flair. There are multiple derivatives of the old Island/INET tech stack, mainly in ATSs, but the iteration Nasdaq is operating on only diverges where…
Yeah, they tried to carry the suffix symbology into the ticker itself, but that fortunately died not because of some great sanctity of the symbols but because someone thought it would confuse too much with how ACT and…
Amusingly there is plenty of precedent (link below under Nasdaq Integrated Platform Suffix and the older ACT/CTCI suffixes) for using all of the wonderful character symbols to indicate different classes of securities.…
I think the sad thing is they don’t even have to hide it. Absolutely no one will be held directly accountable for these decisions, either because they’ll be retired, or the “responsibility” can be whitewashed through…
Same boat here. Go as simple as possible (syslog) as the base, and you can bolt on whatever the hell other tools you’d like to perform advanced functionality if you really want it.
To put it simply, no. I mean, as a general statement and not a universal. There were arguments about domestication of data and the risk of compute and data being in the control of Western (mainly US) powers, but that…
