I'm really not very productive today. I tell myself it's the weather.
"Hi, I'm a 'brave' reporter! I mean, even though I live in Los Angeles, I'm too goshdarn gutless and flaccid to report in the streets! Why, what would my determologist say if a rubber bullet pierced my skin! I'd better stay home and get 1,000 words rambling about a video detail. Skin preserved!"
Had a great time at Comic con Melbourne this weekend and also caught up with a couple of friends. Fortunately, it's (yet another) public holiday in Tasmania, so I'm just taking the day to recover.

I have hate for lots of different types of people.
Litter bugs being one. I wish there was a more derogatory term which we could use. The laziness and disrespect these folks show is stunning.
I went to get my food waste recycle bin after it had been emptied. Someone dropped their trash into it as they walked by the open bin.
If the bin hadn't been open they would have most likely just thrown it into my yard. That happens all the time.

Tools - Jeremy Keith
Jeremy Keith about the ethical implications vs the 'usefulness' of LLM and the 'it is just another tool' stance.
You could even convince yourself that a large language model is like a bicycle for the mind. In truth, a large language model is more like one of those hover chairs on the spaceship in WALL·E. Large language models don’t amplify your creativity and agency. Large language models stunt your creativity and rob you of agency.

I have used LLM based image creation for some of my band's gig flyers last year, and it feels like eating fast food.
Is it healthy? No not really. Do I want to know how the sausage is made? 🫣
@lacybarry I guess there are several posible explanations:
#fake modesty to avoid be asked to care for the world or others "I am just surviving, so what can I do? I can't change anything myself!...I am hardly living". In that way they avoid people asking them for help in the future.
The #System appreciates attitudes of #self #punishment which can be only words or more than words because is a sign of obedience, low self stem or looking humble is important to keep everyone far from their real power and the willingness to organise with others.
#lazy to think and not really needing others due to their privileges, or having this fantasy that they do #all by themselves, forgetting that even their farts would not be possible without a net of people doing all kind of works, activities or being peaceful so there is some order that allows they to go to grocery shop!
#selfishness because they don't really feel something must change as current situation is comfortable enough for them. So they don't really mean their Apocalipsis like ways of thinking, if they did they minimum would be making preparations for it. So eve they can be climate change activists they don't really believe on that as they don't change any behaviour or cut any consumerism apart from poses.
Being #nihilistic uses less brain resources or is more adequate to people refusing to use their thinking devices since they are young... putting your mind to #think implies doing this on their own and organise with other to change all what they diagnose from their sofa as #hopeless and horrible...
Etc.

About time I posted something new: A perfect illusion of summer bliss.
The border in the foreground is problematic: What I plant does not do particularly well and what I think should not be there is thriving. Just as well that I have learned not to argue with nature: It is beautiful, it’s natural and I could not have planned (and planted) it better.

This weekend's GreyCatCTF had an interesting "Reverse 101" challenge in the "EZPZ" category. In "nc" a number of questions were asked on the binary, and the most interesting one was what a certain function did (RC4 encrypt) and what input is required to get the flag.
Besides ghidra & gdb, angr was very helpful here to get the plaintext for the RC4 encryption. See pictures for details.

Just a quick note for this morning.
We make something like:
```
* '((1 (2)) (3 (4 (5) 6)) (7) 8)
((1 (2)) (3 (4 (5) 6)) (7) 8)
* (pick-len-leaves-less-than * 5 6)
(1 2 3 4 5)
* (reverse **)
(8 (7) (3 (4 (5) 6)) (1 (2)))
* (pick-len-leaves-less-than * 5 6)
(3 4 5 1 2)
```
#RFKJr’s report projected a new vision for #America’s #health policy that would take aim at #childhood #vaccines, ultraprocessed #foods, & #pesticides. But a #NOTUS investigation published Thurs found 7 studies referenced in RFKJr’s 68-pg report that the listed study authors said were either wildly misinterpreted or never occurred at all—& researchers believe that #AI could be partly to blame.
