<v S1>That's wisdom. Tolowercase ul. Welcome to Unsupervised Learning, a security,

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.100
<v S1>AI and meaning focused podcast that looks at how best

0:00:46.100 --> 0:00:49.490
<v S1>to thrive as humans in a post AI world. It

0:00:49.490 --> 0:00:53.479
<v S1>combines original ideas, analysis and mental models to bring not

0:00:53.479 --> 0:00:56.690
<v S1>just the news, but why it matters and how to respond.

0:01:01.450 --> 0:01:05.290
<v S1>All right. Welcome to unsupervised learning. This is Daniel Miessler. Okay.

0:01:05.290 --> 0:01:08.440
<v S1>What do we have here? All right. This is, uh,

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.080
<v S1>when sysop makes you release a patch for your end

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:14.619
<v S1>of life product. Because the vulnerability is so bad, I have.

0:01:14.620 --> 0:01:19.959
<v S2>Abandoned my child. Say it. I abandoned my child. Say

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.890
<v S2>it louder. Say it louder! I've abandoned my child. I've

0:01:23.890 --> 0:01:27.580
<v S2>abandoned my child. I've abandoned my boy.

0:01:28.330 --> 0:01:28.990
<v S3>That's so.

0:01:28.990 --> 0:01:33.880
<v S1>Good. Okay, uh, fabric is now supporting OpenAI's new model

0:01:33.910 --> 0:01:37.570
<v S1>oh one preview. So you basically just pass it the

0:01:37.780 --> 0:01:41.440
<v S1>switch R flag, which it sends the request using user

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:44.800
<v S1>rather than system, because, oh one preview is not allowing

0:01:44.800 --> 0:01:47.590
<v S1>system access, so you only have to send it in.

0:01:47.590 --> 0:01:51.190
<v S1>User results aren't that much different honestly. And you also

0:01:51.190 --> 0:01:54.160
<v S1>can't send the temperature parameter which we were doing before.

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.430
<v S1>So this raw option allows you to use zero one

0:01:58.460 --> 0:02:01.700
<v S1>preview with fabric and that works great. Got an insane

0:02:01.700 --> 0:02:06.260
<v S1>cookbook use case 401 preview. So this person actually used

0:02:06.260 --> 0:02:08.720
<v S1>it to. I'm going to open this up to actually

0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:13.369
<v S1>create synthetic data and then validate whether the data was

0:02:13.400 --> 0:02:17.540
<v S1>accurate or not. Really really cool. Really really cool stuff.

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.220
<v S1>And just one of the things that you could do

0:02:19.250 --> 0:02:21.859
<v S1>for zero one preview that you can't actually do with

0:02:21.889 --> 0:02:26.180
<v S1>other models. Okay. So let's see here. Back to kickboxing.

0:02:26.210 --> 0:02:29.450
<v S1>I'll be kickboxing today so hopefully it won't be dead

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.709
<v S1>later tonight. I got a connect on LinkedIn button here

0:02:33.710 --> 0:02:36.110
<v S1>in the newsletter. So if you want to go and

0:02:36.110 --> 0:02:40.820
<v S1>connect there if you connect with me I will mutual connect. Okay.

0:02:40.970 --> 0:02:45.860
<v S1>Last week's comments on current AI advances. So last podcast,

0:02:45.889 --> 0:02:47.570
<v S1>if you're listening to this one, you might have already

0:02:47.570 --> 0:02:49.490
<v S1>listened to that one, but I did a real deep

0:02:49.490 --> 0:02:51.650
<v S1>dive on like the current state of like the path

0:02:51.650 --> 0:02:55.040
<v S1>to AGI. I talked about the oh one preview.

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:55.660
<v S4>Um.

0:02:55.690 --> 0:02:58.270
<v S1>And I just did a whole bunch of analysis, but

0:02:58.270 --> 0:03:00.010
<v S1>you should check that out if you didn't listen to

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.770
<v S1>that one. And I wrote a new essay called the

0:03:02.770 --> 0:03:05.920
<v S1>Art Quality Tier List. Pull this one up. And this

0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.340
<v S1>is basically a way of rating art. And keep in

0:03:09.340 --> 0:03:11.530
<v S1>mind this is for if you're a beginner, if you're

0:03:11.530 --> 0:03:14.470
<v S1>already like an advanced art person, you already know art

0:03:14.470 --> 0:03:18.430
<v S1>back and forward, then like you need to teach me stuff.

0:03:18.430 --> 0:03:21.310
<v S1>I'm not teaching you anything. This is for someone who

0:03:21.310 --> 0:03:24.820
<v S1>is thoughtful but is not an art expert. Even though

0:03:24.820 --> 0:03:28.149
<v S1>I did take an art history class in college. But anyway,

0:03:28.150 --> 0:03:31.809
<v S1>I don't really remember any of it, and I've basically

0:03:31.810 --> 0:03:34.690
<v S1>just not understood what art was for the longest time.

0:03:34.690 --> 0:03:37.690
<v S1>And I finally came up with a definition which I

0:03:37.690 --> 0:03:41.440
<v S1>think is pretty decent. It is indirect expression of something

0:03:41.440 --> 0:03:45.940
<v S1>that matters to humans. And I basically got a hierarchy

0:03:45.970 --> 0:03:48.670
<v S1>here of like the different ways you could look at it.

0:03:48.670 --> 0:03:51.910
<v S1>So going from not art to like proto art to

0:03:51.940 --> 0:03:55.100
<v S1>like hollow art, which is kind of like a IoT,

0:03:55.130 --> 0:03:59.510
<v S1>is one example where it might actually look pretty cool,

0:03:59.510 --> 0:04:02.300
<v S1>or it might actually make you feel a certain way,

0:04:02.300 --> 0:04:05.630
<v S1>but the artist didn't feel anything. And there was a

0:04:05.630 --> 0:04:08.510
<v S1>little bit of a caveat here. If the artist feels something,

0:04:08.510 --> 0:04:11.240
<v S1>but they're using AI to try to make the art,

0:04:11.300 --> 0:04:13.580
<v S1>bring it out. So there's a little bit of a

0:04:13.610 --> 0:04:17.120
<v S1>caveat there. And then decent art is where the artist

0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:21.349
<v S1>feels it and the audience feels it. Great art is like, yeah,

0:04:21.380 --> 0:04:25.100
<v S1>and people like it. And then S-tier or Brilliant is like,

0:04:25.130 --> 0:04:29.839
<v S1>it's recognized as like a world talent or world class

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.650
<v S1>art and that's, that's basically it. So six different levels.

0:04:33.650 --> 0:04:38.330
<v S1>And I even have a methodology for enjoying art. And

0:04:38.330 --> 0:04:44.299
<v S1>this might be especially useful, especially useful for beginners. So

0:04:44.300 --> 0:04:47.750
<v S1>start by feeling the piece. No thinking no analyzing. Just

0:04:47.750 --> 0:04:50.390
<v S1>take it in and experience how it makes you feel.

0:04:50.420 --> 0:04:53.620
<v S1>Do that for a number of, you know, seconds or minutes,

0:04:53.620 --> 0:04:55.419
<v S1>however long you want to take. Now that you have

0:04:55.420 --> 0:04:57.820
<v S1>a sense of how it affected you, analyze the message

0:04:57.820 --> 0:04:59.830
<v S1>you believe is trying to convey. Then, once you have

0:04:59.830 --> 0:05:02.980
<v S1>the message, think about how it was transmitted to you. Like,

0:05:03.010 --> 0:05:05.680
<v S1>was it a song or was it paint or whatever

0:05:05.680 --> 0:05:08.620
<v S1>it was? And this one's really important. If you're with

0:05:08.620 --> 0:05:11.770
<v S1>a friend, do this in silence. Do one through three

0:05:11.770 --> 0:05:14.050
<v S1>in silence for however long you want to spend on

0:05:14.050 --> 0:05:17.710
<v S1>it for each piece, and then discuss your results with them.

0:05:17.710 --> 0:05:20.169
<v S1>It's a really fun way to do this, you know,

0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.570
<v S1>get a glass of wine or whatever it is. The

0:05:22.570 --> 0:05:24.580
<v S1>first time I ended up doing this, I was doing

0:05:24.580 --> 0:05:29.169
<v S1>it with my partner and with my friend Sasha, and

0:05:29.170 --> 0:05:31.270
<v S1>we were doing this, I think it was the the

0:05:31.270 --> 0:05:34.330
<v S1>Big Art Museum in New York, and we had lots

0:05:34.330 --> 0:05:37.510
<v S1>of fun, like we all felt like novices, but we

0:05:37.510 --> 0:05:39.880
<v S1>did something like this methodology and it made it a

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:43.480
<v S1>lot of fun. Okay, so that is that newsletter just

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.479
<v S1>went out, by the way, and security. So US is

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:52.190
<v S1>evidently super reliant on Chinese cranes. This is freaking me out.

0:05:52.220 --> 0:05:58.640
<v S1>Particularly from this one company. Zpmc. And this report says 80%

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:02.299
<v S1>of US ship to shore cranes are owned by this

0:06:02.300 --> 0:06:04.220
<v S1>Chinese company. I thought it was going to be like

0:06:04.220 --> 0:06:07.789
<v S1>25 or 50%. But yeah, I hope someone is actually

0:06:07.790 --> 0:06:10.070
<v S1>tracking this stuff in a war room somewhere. And I'm

0:06:10.070 --> 0:06:14.390
<v S1>pretty sure they are doing doing war room exercises. Fortinet

0:06:14.390 --> 0:06:17.270
<v S1>has confirmed a data breach after someone called. I'm not

0:06:17.270 --> 0:06:19.550
<v S1>going to say that word. Something naughty claimed to have

0:06:19.550 --> 0:06:23.510
<v S1>stolen 440 gigs off of their SharePoint server, and they're

0:06:23.510 --> 0:06:26.900
<v S1>talking about third party risk as being the problem. GitLab

0:06:26.900 --> 0:06:31.339
<v S1>release critical updates to fix multiple vulnerabilities. Got 9.9 on

0:06:31.339 --> 0:06:36.320
<v S1>the Richter scale here. Enable remote exploitation with minimal user

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:40.640
<v S1>interaction and low privileges. Lazarus Group, which is North Korea,

0:06:40.670 --> 0:06:44.990
<v S1>been targeting Python developers with a piece of malware disguised

0:06:44.990 --> 0:06:47.570
<v S1>as coding tests. They've been doing this for about a

0:06:47.570 --> 0:06:51.670
<v S1>year now, thanks to material for sponsoring, Mastercard is buying

0:06:51.670 --> 0:06:57.549
<v S1>Recorded Future from Insight Partners for $2.65 billion, and they

0:06:57.550 --> 0:07:02.830
<v S1>bought it for 780 million. So nice ROI on that one.

0:07:02.830 --> 0:07:06.760
<v S1>And what I noticed here is like this motion from okay,

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.880
<v S1>it's a startup that does this piece of functionality. Now

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.250
<v S1>we're going to bring it into a platform. In this

0:07:12.250 --> 0:07:14.620
<v S1>case the platform is like Mastercard. So you have good

0:07:14.620 --> 0:07:18.040
<v S1>ideas and execution. And their natural home is within some

0:07:18.070 --> 0:07:20.260
<v S1>sort of ecosystem. And I think this is a good

0:07:20.260 --> 0:07:23.350
<v S1>way to think of startups. It's like a petri dish

0:07:23.350 --> 0:07:26.620
<v S1>for features that will live inside of something bigger, a

0:07:26.620 --> 0:07:32.350
<v S1>bigger platform, bigger ecosystem or a framework. Security. Canary Maturity

0:07:32.350 --> 0:07:35.110
<v S1>Model is a framework designed to help organizations assess and

0:07:35.110 --> 0:07:38.710
<v S1>improve their security posture by using Canary tokens. I love

0:07:38.710 --> 0:07:41.530
<v S1>this concept of detection maturity model. I was just talking

0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:45.310
<v S1>to dropzone about this actually. So here's like a percentage

0:07:45.310 --> 0:07:48.290
<v S1>of your most likely minor behaviors that you're likely to

0:07:48.320 --> 0:07:50.510
<v S1>see based on who you are. And you know what

0:07:50.510 --> 0:07:53.330
<v S1>percentage of these can you detect. And thanks to Defend

0:07:53.330 --> 0:07:57.140
<v S1>defy for sponsoring as well. Australia is set to criminalise

0:07:57.140 --> 0:08:00.890
<v S1>doxxing with penalties up to seven years in jail as

0:08:00.890 --> 0:08:05.030
<v S1>part of a new legislation aimed at modernizing the Privacy Act,

0:08:05.060 --> 0:08:09.680
<v S1>criminalizing doxxing. Seven years in jail. I like it. I

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.620
<v S1>like it. I think, yeah, it does really come down

0:08:12.620 --> 0:08:16.070
<v S1>to there are times that this happens accidentally. In fact,

0:08:16.070 --> 0:08:18.800
<v S1>last week I was worried I accidentally did it, which

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:21.380
<v S1>I could have just rerecorded, but I caught it and

0:08:21.380 --> 0:08:23.870
<v S1>realised it wasn't doxxing so I didn't have to rerecord.

0:08:23.870 --> 0:08:26.660
<v S1>But the point is, hopefully they're doing it for purely

0:08:26.660 --> 0:08:29.960
<v S1>malicious people, which I'm sure they are. This piece discusses

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:34.219
<v S1>how AI powered autonomous weapons are changing warfare. So a

0:08:34.250 --> 0:08:37.699
<v S1>bunch of Abrams tanks had to pull back after being

0:08:37.730 --> 0:08:42.980
<v S1>targeted by kamikaze drones run by the Russians. Yeah, definitely.

0:08:42.980 --> 0:08:46.720
<v S1>Go read kill decision by Daniel Suarez. This is the book.

0:08:46.750 --> 0:08:50.650
<v S1>It is extraordinary. What? Did I read this? I read

0:08:50.650 --> 0:08:55.329
<v S1>it in 2016. Yeah, really, really good. Russia's naval activity

0:08:55.330 --> 0:08:59.530
<v S1>around undersea cables is freaking people out in the US.

0:08:59.770 --> 0:09:04.240
<v S1>They're worried that they're going to sabotage underwater infrastructure through

0:09:04.240 --> 0:09:09.550
<v S1>a unit called Goochie. Goochie goochie something. So this unit

0:09:09.580 --> 0:09:14.439
<v S1>operates submarines, surface vessels and naval drones and has been

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:18.910
<v S1>spotted near critical deep sea cables. And these carry 95%

0:09:18.910 --> 0:09:22.929
<v S1>of international data. US is drafting a New York joint

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:29.380
<v S1>statement to bolster security of submarine communication cables. Focus on

0:09:29.380 --> 0:09:33.310
<v S1>excluding Chinese firms from the supply chain. Yeah, I think

0:09:33.309 --> 0:09:37.750
<v S1>we need comprehensive critical infrastructure dependency analysis. And like I

0:09:37.750 --> 0:09:40.000
<v S1>said before, I'm pretty sure this is already happening. I

0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:43.020
<v S1>just hope we're using really good red teamers to emulate

0:09:43.020 --> 0:09:47.250
<v S1>the capabilities of these adversaries. US House has voted to

0:09:47.250 --> 0:09:51.120
<v S1>block the purchase of new drones from DJI. So much

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:54.660
<v S1>coverage of Counter China stuff lately seems like leadership is

0:09:54.660 --> 0:09:57.420
<v S1>getting the message here, which is great. State Department has

0:09:57.420 --> 0:10:01.620
<v S1>declared that Russia's state owned RT news has become a

0:10:01.620 --> 0:10:05.309
<v S1>key player in the Kremlin's military intelligence operations. I mean,

0:10:05.340 --> 0:10:08.040
<v S1>I remember a friend of mine talking about how awesome

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.199
<v S1>art he was because he was hearing stories he'd never

0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:13.200
<v S1>heard anywhere before. And he's like, yeah, you know, the

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.260
<v S1>US has really messed up. And I'm finding out how

0:10:16.290 --> 0:10:19.020
<v S1>messed up the US is from this channel. And I'm like, okay,

0:10:19.020 --> 0:10:22.020
<v S1>what's the channel? And it's RT and I'm like, dude,

0:10:22.020 --> 0:10:25.830
<v S1>you realize this is like, this is just a Russian

0:10:25.830 --> 0:10:29.880
<v S1>state media, media, right? This is like this is pretty

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.640
<v S1>close to propaganda. And he started watching more and he's like,

0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.640
<v S1>oh yeah, it was absolutely. But he didn't know he

0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:38.460
<v S1>was being manipulated until it was called out to him.

0:10:38.460 --> 0:10:42.130
<v S1>And this is like so long ago. This might have

0:10:42.130 --> 0:10:45.819
<v S1>been like 2015 or something. All right, sir, he flash

0:10:45.820 --> 0:10:50.350
<v S1>Biscan Kostov is a civilian radio enthusiast who has become

0:10:50.350 --> 0:10:53.949
<v S1>a key figure in Ukraine's drone defence strategy against Russia,

0:10:53.980 --> 0:10:58.540
<v S1>operating from a mobile intelligence centre in his Volkswagen van.

0:10:58.660 --> 0:11:02.470
<v S1>He monitors Russian radio transmissions and shares his findings with

0:11:02.470 --> 0:11:08.230
<v S1>over 127,000 followers, including soldiers and government officials. I'm not

0:11:08.230 --> 0:11:09.939
<v S1>sure I'd be giving this guy a lot of press.

0:11:09.940 --> 0:11:13.450
<v S1>It is basically putting a bounty on him. I and

0:11:13.450 --> 0:11:17.770
<v S1>tech newspaper had humans, and I create novel research ideas,

0:11:17.770 --> 0:11:21.340
<v S1>and then had human experts rate the ideas to see

0:11:21.340 --> 0:11:24.370
<v S1>which ones they liked, and they actually liked the AI

0:11:24.400 --> 0:11:27.250
<v S1>ideas better. And I think this is the way to

0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:31.449
<v S1>measure the abilities of AI, not with like standalone benchmarks,

0:11:31.450 --> 0:11:34.150
<v S1>but like what you do is you have AI results,

0:11:34.150 --> 0:11:37.569
<v S1>you have human results, and then you have a rating system,

0:11:37.570 --> 0:11:40.739
<v S1>which is humans later. We could use AI for that,

0:11:40.740 --> 0:11:43.920
<v S1>but in the meantime, we have humans doing that. And

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:47.370
<v S1>then we essentially say, which ones did you like better?

0:11:47.370 --> 0:11:49.380
<v S1>And they're blinded. Of course, they don't know which one

0:11:49.380 --> 0:11:52.949
<v S1>is which. So when they pick the AI ones, that's

0:11:52.950 --> 0:11:58.199
<v S1>a pretty good estimate. Estimation that the AI ones are better.

0:11:58.230 --> 0:11:59.940
<v S1>And I think that's how we should do a whole

0:11:59.940 --> 0:12:01.650
<v S1>bunch of these. Otherwise it's going to be a lot

0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:05.310
<v S1>of bias. OpenAI releases their new zero one preview model

0:12:05.309 --> 0:12:09.780
<v S1>focused on reasoning. We've talked a bunch about this one. Um, yeah.

0:12:09.809 --> 0:12:12.240
<v S1>Got my thoughts on it so far in the podcast.

0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.489
<v S1>And the big difference I just want to point this

0:12:14.490 --> 0:12:16.349
<v S1>one out. That's why I kept the story in here.

0:12:16.350 --> 0:12:20.040
<v S1>Big difference is that it uses chain of thought reasoning

0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:23.520
<v S1>and the fact that it actually spends time and actually tokens,

0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:28.380
<v S1>which means money thinking before responding, because before it would

0:12:28.380 --> 0:12:30.330
<v S1>be tokens in and tokens out. And that was pretty

0:12:30.330 --> 0:12:34.559
<v S1>much it. Klarna's CEO says that I could replace enterprise.

0:12:34.590 --> 0:12:39.520
<v S1>Enterprise software giants like Salesforce and Workday claims that conversational AI,

0:12:39.550 --> 0:12:44.410
<v S1>like OpenAI's strawberry, can handle natural language commands to build

0:12:44.410 --> 0:12:48.040
<v S1>custom apps. 100%, this is what I've been saying Sbca

0:12:48.160 --> 0:12:51.790
<v S1>that's going to happen. And yeah, this is my Fpca piece,

0:12:51.790 --> 0:12:55.660
<v S1>and this is what I think future software looks like.

0:12:55.660 --> 0:12:58.240
<v S1>You've got, uh, see, I can find the thing. There

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:01.930
<v S1>we go. State policy questions, action. I think that is

0:13:01.929 --> 0:13:05.380
<v S1>the vibe. AI powered SAR satellites are now capable of

0:13:05.380 --> 0:13:09.069
<v S1>detecting aircraft from space due to new radar tech, which

0:13:09.100 --> 0:13:12.189
<v S1>enables real time monitoring of air traffic, good for both

0:13:12.190 --> 0:13:17.380
<v S1>civilian and military uses. Cardio tech? That's a good name.

0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:22.720
<v S1>Leveraging AI to tackle cardiovascular disease. Leading cause of death.

0:13:22.720 --> 0:13:27.550
<v S1>Partnering with 65 hospitals to build a massive human heart tissue.

0:13:27.580 --> 0:13:34.300
<v S1>Multi-omics dataset to identify new drug candidates. Super exciting because

0:13:34.300 --> 0:13:37.620
<v S1>the AI I needs data to form its model of

0:13:37.620 --> 0:13:40.050
<v S1>the world, and this is a whole bunch of that

0:13:40.050 --> 0:13:42.990
<v S1>data to model it, because then you could figure out

0:13:42.990 --> 0:13:45.750
<v S1>that's kind of the punchline here. You can figure out

0:13:45.750 --> 0:13:49.140
<v S1>if drugs might work or that's the plan anyway. If

0:13:49.140 --> 0:13:52.110
<v S1>you have a really good model of how the heart works,

0:13:52.110 --> 0:13:57.239
<v S1>you can have drugs, potentially synthetic testing of drugs to

0:13:57.270 --> 0:13:59.969
<v S1>see if they will work without doing trials or without

0:13:59.970 --> 0:14:03.780
<v S1>doing as many trials, or for as long or as expensive.

0:14:03.780 --> 0:14:07.110
<v S1>Salesforce just launched Agent Force, a suite of AI powered

0:14:07.110 --> 0:14:12.510
<v S1>agents designed to enhance human workers across various business functions. Yeah, yeah,

0:14:12.540 --> 0:14:16.559
<v S1>definitely designed to enhance human workers. Not designed at all

0:14:16.590 --> 0:14:20.580
<v S1>to replace them. Yep, yep. Waymo's latest data shows that

0:14:20.610 --> 0:14:24.840
<v S1>human drivers are responsible for most serious collisions involving its

0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:30.030
<v S1>driverless cars. 16 out of 23 severe crashes being rear

0:14:30.060 --> 0:14:34.720
<v S1>ended by human driven vehicles. Tesla's Cybertruck is spiking in

0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:39.850
<v S1>the truck segment. Well, electric truck segment with 61% of

0:14:39.850 --> 0:14:45.790
<v S1>sales surge in July, a surge of 61% in July.

0:14:45.820 --> 0:14:50.020
<v S1>Did way better than the R1t's and the Ford F-150 lightning.

0:14:50.020 --> 0:14:52.210
<v S1>I think we didn't. We just see a story saying

0:14:52.210 --> 0:14:54.790
<v S1>the lightning was crushing it. I don't know why there's

0:14:54.790 --> 0:14:56.440
<v S1>a big jump right now, but I have seen a

0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:01.420
<v S1>whole bunch more very recently. Anecdotally, USPS has rolled out

0:15:01.420 --> 0:15:04.150
<v S1>a new delivery vehicle. Let's see if we can get

0:15:04.150 --> 0:15:06.400
<v S1>a picture of this thing, which I saw. Yeah, look

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:09.430
<v S1>at that. Looks like a duck. Looks like a duck, Bill,

0:15:09.460 --> 0:15:12.670
<v S1>doesn't it? Yeah. Evidently the drivers love them. They're very,

0:15:12.670 --> 0:15:17.050
<v S1>very practical, but they look very strange. Dmitri Greenberg has

0:15:17.050 --> 0:15:20.050
<v S1>managed to run Linux and Ultrix on a business card,

0:15:20.080 --> 0:15:23.170
<v S1>turning it into a tiny computer, eight kilobytes of Ram

0:15:23.170 --> 0:15:28.360
<v S1>and 32kB of flash storage. New studies showing that debunk bot,

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:33.990
<v S1>an AI chatbot can effectively persuade users to abandon conspiracy theories.

0:15:33.990 --> 0:15:38.640
<v S1>The bot made significant progress in changing people's beliefs, challenging

0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:43.170
<v S1>the notion that facts and logic cannot combat conspiracies. I mean,

0:15:43.200 --> 0:15:45.150
<v S1>this makes sense to me. So this is what I

0:15:45.150 --> 0:15:49.109
<v S1>wrote you. You can convince. If you can convince somebody

0:15:49.110 --> 0:15:51.540
<v S1>of something, you can convince them as well. This is

0:15:51.540 --> 0:15:55.530
<v S1>why I'm optimistic about having AI on us all the time, 100%.

0:15:55.530 --> 0:15:58.050
<v S1>It can be Orwellian, or it could be a defender

0:15:58.050 --> 0:16:01.800
<v S1>or protector or tutor or coach, etc. that's always with us.

0:16:01.830 --> 0:16:05.220
<v S1>Community college had to cancel its CS career fair because

0:16:05.220 --> 0:16:08.610
<v S1>no companies reached out. Super sad, but super expected. If

0:16:08.610 --> 0:16:11.250
<v S1>you have people coming out of college with four year

0:16:11.250 --> 0:16:14.520
<v S1>degrees and master's in CS and they can't find jobs,

0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.990
<v S1>what do you think? Do you think companies are rejecting right?

0:16:19.020 --> 0:16:21.360
<v S1>The companies who would come to the job fair, they're

0:16:21.510 --> 0:16:24.479
<v S1>rejecting the master's degree people, but they're going to go

0:16:24.480 --> 0:16:26.880
<v S1>to community college? I don't think so. This is why

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:30.920
<v S1>we need human 3.0. Future is connecting directly to individuals

0:16:30.920 --> 0:16:35.000
<v S1>not going through these credential forms. Google has officially killed

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:37.940
<v S1>off cache links, which is sad because that's how I

0:16:37.940 --> 0:16:40.370
<v S1>used to see old versions of the site. And you

0:16:40.370 --> 0:16:43.310
<v S1>can see the site even if it was down, like, whatever.

0:16:43.340 --> 0:16:47.840
<v S1>United Airlines is partnering with SpaceX to bring free Starlink

0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:50.960
<v S1>Wi-Fi to all of its planes. I'm a united person.

0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:53.960
<v S1>I'm so happy that I'm a united person right now, man,

0:16:53.990 --> 0:16:57.410
<v S1>because I fly JSX as well, and the Starlink is

0:16:57.410 --> 0:16:59.780
<v S1>so good. It's better than a lot of my friends.

0:16:59.780 --> 0:17:03.020
<v S1>Wi-Fi at their house. Ukraine just launched its biggest drone

0:17:03.020 --> 0:17:07.460
<v S1>attack on Moscow yet, hitting the region with 144 drones.

0:17:07.460 --> 0:17:10.669
<v S1>I still don't understand how Ukraine could possibly be winning

0:17:10.670 --> 0:17:13.760
<v S1>this war. Completely insane to me, but in a good way.

0:17:13.790 --> 0:17:17.570
<v S1>Sweden is increasing how much it's paying migrants to go home.

0:17:17.600 --> 0:17:22.310
<v S1>It's now up to $34,000, roughly paying them to just leave.

0:17:22.340 --> 0:17:27.800
<v S1>NASA's advanced composite solar sail successfully been deployed its ultra

0:17:27.800 --> 0:17:31.380
<v S1>thin solar sail is now in low Earth orbit means

0:17:31.380 --> 0:17:34.140
<v S1>it's visible in the night sky from various locations. It

0:17:34.140 --> 0:17:37.980
<v S1>could be as bright as serious. Sirius is the brightest

0:17:37.980 --> 0:17:41.070
<v S1>star out there. The dog star. It is very bright,

0:17:41.190 --> 0:17:43.740
<v S1>so I can't wait to go find this thing and

0:17:43.740 --> 0:17:45.780
<v S1>I wonder. I mean, it would be crazy to see

0:17:45.780 --> 0:17:48.720
<v S1>something as bright as Sirius actually moving, so I can't

0:17:48.720 --> 0:17:53.160
<v S1>wait to see this thing. Got a comet? They're calling

0:17:53.160 --> 0:17:56.910
<v S1>it the comet of the century. I feel like these astronomer, uh,

0:17:56.910 --> 0:18:00.480
<v S1>journalists are always saying it's the brightest. You will not

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:04.860
<v S1>see another solar eclipse for 900 years or whatever. And

0:18:04.859 --> 0:18:08.880
<v S1>then it turns out, well, not one that comes directly here.

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.760
<v S1>Not one that falls on a Friday. Not one that

0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.640
<v S1>you could see while standing upside down or whatever. And

0:18:14.640 --> 0:18:16.470
<v S1>then you look and you're like, okay, when is the

0:18:16.470 --> 0:18:20.520
<v S1>actual next eclipse? Oh, nine months from now or whatever. Anyway,

0:18:20.520 --> 0:18:21.810
<v S1>this is going to be a cool one. It's going

0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.050
<v S1>to be bright. So I'm going to try to remember

0:18:25.050 --> 0:18:27.050
<v S1>these times. I'm sure they'll say more about it at

0:18:27.050 --> 0:18:29.359
<v S1>the time so I can go take a look. US

0:18:29.390 --> 0:18:33.230
<v S1>is closing a trade loophole that e-commerce people like Temu

0:18:33.230 --> 0:18:38.510
<v S1>and Shine. Shine, shine have been exploiting. Loophole allows them

0:18:38.510 --> 0:18:42.530
<v S1>to ship goods directly to customers without paying tariffs. So

0:18:42.530 --> 0:18:44.630
<v S1>the US government is going after that. There's a leaked

0:18:44.660 --> 0:18:48.619
<v S1>PDF that details Mr. Beast's unique company culture, and it

0:18:48.619 --> 0:18:51.290
<v S1>got a one page summary of it here. Pretty, pretty

0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:54.830
<v S1>smart business stuff. Although he is, I think being investigated

0:18:54.830 --> 0:18:58.850
<v S1>for some some stuff. See here. Uh, person says sunlight

0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:01.850
<v S1>cured their migraines. It's not a study. It's really just

0:19:01.850 --> 0:19:04.880
<v S1>somebody talking about it. But I figure most people who

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:07.850
<v S1>have migraines have tried everything else, so why not try this?

0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.669
<v S1>It's basically sunlight getting lots of sunlight, I think in

0:19:10.670 --> 0:19:14.900
<v S1>the morning. Love this concept from Laura Hogan. Be a thermostat,

0:19:14.930 --> 0:19:18.410
<v S1>not a thermometer. That's that's cool. I mean, it's cool

0:19:18.410 --> 0:19:21.050
<v S1>if you don't even read the article. Be a thermostat,

0:19:21.050 --> 0:19:24.750
<v S1>not a thermometer. Content driven development is a strategy for

0:19:24.780 --> 0:19:28.500
<v S1>making progress on side projects by focusing on small, shareable

0:19:28.500 --> 0:19:30.869
<v S1>pieces of work. So you finish a thing you share,

0:19:30.869 --> 0:19:33.870
<v S1>you finish a thing you share. In 1913, Vienna was

0:19:33.869 --> 0:19:38.490
<v S1>quite a place to hang out. Hitler, Leon, Trotsky, Tito,

0:19:38.490 --> 0:19:43.290
<v S1>Sigmund Freud, Joseph Stalin all hanging out in the same city.

0:19:43.290 --> 0:19:46.560
<v S1>And by the way, this is before Hitler. And I

0:19:46.590 --> 0:19:49.740
<v S1>guess Stalin turned evil. And whoever else in that list

0:19:49.740 --> 0:19:53.220
<v S1>was evil. Not sure how evil Trotsky was, because that's

0:19:53.220 --> 0:19:57.149
<v S1>how poorly read I am about Russian history. Discovery merkel

0:19:57.150 --> 0:20:00.180
<v S1>map CLI command line tool lets you search and enumerate

0:20:00.180 --> 0:20:07.740
<v S1>subdomains using the merkel Map API. Okay, 71TB, ZFS, NAS

0:20:07.770 --> 0:20:12.570
<v S1>24 four terabyte drives. It has lasted without a single

0:20:12.570 --> 0:20:16.350
<v S1>drive failure for over a decade, thanks to a strategy

0:20:16.350 --> 0:20:19.230
<v S1>of keeping the server off when not in use. Cheating?

0:20:19.230 --> 0:20:22.969
<v S1>I feel like it's cheating. Doctor Mordechai Guri She has

0:20:22.970 --> 0:20:26.990
<v S1>unveiled a new side channel attack called Rambo, which uses

0:20:26.990 --> 0:20:31.850
<v S1>radio signals from a device's Ram to exfiltrate data over

0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:35.720
<v S1>Airgapped networks. I was like, I know this is Israeli.

0:20:35.720 --> 0:20:38.840
<v S1>I know for sure, I guess Tel Aviv, but it

0:20:38.840 --> 0:20:43.610
<v S1>was actually a different Israeli university. But yes, it was Israeli.

0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:47.750
<v S1>Israelis are the side channel goats. Six techniques I use

0:20:47.750 --> 0:20:50.690
<v S1>to create a great user experience for shell scripts. This

0:20:50.690 --> 0:20:53.690
<v S1>was a great read. User friendly shell scripts with techniques

0:20:53.690 --> 0:20:59.030
<v S1>like comprehensive error handling, colorful output, and progress reporting. These

0:20:59.030 --> 0:21:01.130
<v S1>things really do make a difference. They make it feel

0:21:01.130 --> 0:21:03.320
<v S1>like an actual app. Two people made a tool that

0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:07.280
<v S1>lets you transfer playlists between Apple Music and Spotify and

0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.100
<v S1>YouTube music. Those are kind of the three big ones.

0:21:10.100 --> 0:21:13.070
<v S1>Nothing is a timer that celebrates the art of doing

0:21:13.100 --> 0:21:17.450
<v S1>absolutely nothing. And how to create a pipeline with pinecone

0:21:17.450 --> 0:21:22.199
<v S1>and semantic image search CLI CLE ideas. I love it

0:21:22.230 --> 0:21:25.859
<v S1>when experts completely disagree about a really important thing. Like

0:21:25.859 --> 0:21:29.790
<v S1>for example, I have no idea if China is thriving

0:21:29.790 --> 0:21:31.560
<v S1>right now and is about to take over the world,

0:21:31.560 --> 0:21:34.980
<v S1>or if they are about to have this demographic collapse

0:21:34.980 --> 0:21:37.590
<v S1>and their economy is tanking, and they've got the housing

0:21:37.590 --> 0:21:41.669
<v S1>crisis and they're just in major upheaval, and she is

0:21:41.670 --> 0:21:45.150
<v S1>facing pressure and time is running out. And they have

0:21:45.180 --> 0:21:48.090
<v S1>brain drain going to the west. And they're super screwed

0:21:48.090 --> 0:21:50.160
<v S1>because they're slowing down AI and they're going to get

0:21:50.160 --> 0:21:52.619
<v S1>passed up. I don't know if that's true or if

0:21:52.619 --> 0:21:55.080
<v S1>they're about to invent their own chips. They're about to

0:21:55.109 --> 0:21:57.990
<v S1>not need Nvidia. They're about to take over everything because

0:21:57.990 --> 0:22:00.930
<v S1>the West is stupid. And I could find the world's

0:22:00.930 --> 0:22:04.050
<v S1>best experts who tell me both of those things and

0:22:04.050 --> 0:22:06.720
<v S1>tell me that the other set of experts is completely wrong.

0:22:06.720 --> 0:22:09.750
<v S1>I find that fascinating, and I've read a whole bunch

0:22:09.750 --> 0:22:14.790
<v S1>of books. I've read probably 12 deep, like large books

0:22:14.790 --> 0:22:18.929
<v S1>about China or dedicated just to China and its development,

0:22:18.930 --> 0:22:21.679
<v S1>probably the most important one being like Chip Wars, although

0:22:21.680 --> 0:22:23.450
<v S1>that was more about chips than it was about China.

0:22:23.450 --> 0:22:25.850
<v S1>But it definitely talked about China a lot. But I

0:22:25.850 --> 0:22:28.220
<v S1>read a whole bunch that were dedicated just to China.

0:22:28.220 --> 0:22:30.920
<v S1>And I mean, it didn't tell me the answer. I mean,

0:22:30.950 --> 0:22:33.050
<v S1>I have all these opinions and I listen to these

0:22:33.050 --> 0:22:35.419
<v S1>opinions of like, the smartest people, but the fact that

0:22:35.420 --> 0:22:38.870
<v S1>I still don't know, after reading all those books and

0:22:38.869 --> 0:22:41.180
<v S1>seeing all the data and listening to all these smart

0:22:41.180 --> 0:22:44.449
<v S1>experts and I still don't know, that is exhilarating to me.

0:22:44.450 --> 0:22:48.020
<v S1>I'm like, wow. I mean, I love the idea of

0:22:48.050 --> 0:22:51.710
<v S1>like and I'm happy with myself for not like picking

0:22:51.710 --> 0:22:53.750
<v S1>one and just saying, oh, this is what I think

0:22:53.780 --> 0:22:56.780
<v S1>is going to happen. I tend to it's like strong opinions,

0:22:56.780 --> 0:22:59.120
<v S1>loosely held, you know, and the recommendation of the week

0:22:59.150 --> 0:23:03.920
<v S1>actively guard against age related lock in, which starts around 30.

0:23:03.950 --> 0:23:06.320
<v S1>I'm guessing I made that up, but roughly around there,

0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:08.840
<v S1>maybe even late 20s. And for some people it doesn't

0:23:08.840 --> 0:23:12.320
<v S1>kick in. I've been very resistant to it, although I

0:23:12.350 --> 0:23:16.400
<v S1>am writing this also to myself because you actively have

0:23:16.400 --> 0:23:19.650
<v S1>to fight it. Listen to new music, read new books

0:23:19.650 --> 0:23:22.410
<v S1>with new ideas in them, talk to new people. Go

0:23:22.410 --> 0:23:26.100
<v S1>to strange restaurants. Try new foods. Don't let your experiences

0:23:26.100 --> 0:23:29.640
<v S1>reduce into a tighter and tighter death spiral. Variation keeps

0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:32.370
<v S1>your mind young and the aphorism of the week. Choosing

0:23:32.369 --> 0:23:35.100
<v S1>not to read great books has the same effect as

0:23:35.100 --> 0:23:38.550
<v S1>not being allowed to. Choosing not to read great books

0:23:38.550 --> 0:23:43.889
<v S1>has the same effect as not being allowed to. Unsupervised
