> After receiving the alert from the affected provider, our engineering team took immediate action. Within 20 minutes, we stopped routing traffic through the server. We then reviewed and preserved the relevant security logs for investigation, securely wiped the server, and revoked its access to our other systems. The affected server has been permanently removed from our infrastructure.

When responding to a potential breach, the correct protocol is to contain the incident and PRESERVE EVERYTHING for investigation. Do not try to be selective at what data you keep or don't keep. They've unfortunately likely destroyed evidence and will not be able to determine if the attacker actually breached the server or not, and if so, how. This speaks to them having a poor or non-existent incident response plan.

Bit of a hyperbolistic title. The core of the bug report doesn't require disassembly of the library. The bug author just went the extra step to do a root cause investigation, which of course requires light reversing work.

>But I'm not aware of a messenger that provides a good UX for that

WhatsApp is the largest messaging app in the world (3B MAU) and does E2EE by default across private chats and groups.

Physical design (what this seems to be targeting) already uses non-deterministic algorithms because floorplanning, placement, and routing are all difficult problems to solve with a deterministic algorithm. Introducing probabalistic approaches helps to find the right fit within the constraints.

A green card is permanent residency, not a visa process.

>>Professors should teach about AI, include how to prompt efficiently and how to critically scrutinize the output

>100% agree, as with any important technology. But this is just a small curriculum change, just one more topic to cover in the lecture, and maybe a class.

Critically scrutinizing LLM output is just critical thinking skills, something universities should already teach.

Healthcare worker shortages are a problem in the US and other developed countries with universal systems. The type of system doesn't really influence the waiting time.

That comes with a contract between the hotel and the block holder.

If the journalist really did make a reservation under the room block for the event, and then was denied attendance to the event, it would seem fairly normal for the reservation to be canceled by the block holder.

Really, if the journalist wanted to cover the event without being noticed he could've done so undercover.

They'll certainly continue wind projects, just not likely in the US and not with this money.
