- Comment on FBI recommends coming up with a 'secret word or phrase' to make sure your family know you're you and not some hellish AI copycat 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend doing that.
And that’s not how you establish a PKI or implement AE (authenticated encryption). When I send a voice message e.g. I don’t verbally sign it, that’s actually part of KE (key exchange) protocol.
Same applies to non encrypted, authenticated communication of course.
And in case you are talking about physical face to face communication: I think you’d recognize your family and friends without the help of cryptography.

We don’t need code words, we need a proper PKI (public key infrastructure) for authenticated communication.

What movie? I have no idea what this is referencing
- Comment on Uses for local AI? 5 months ago:
But they run locally on the phone, if I’m not completely mistaken. So no use for a server. Or do they offer this option?

Made me think of this YouTube video :)

- Comment on But isn't it dead too? 10 months ago:
I think it must be a trabslatranslation error or so, because yeah you should NEVER touch live if you’re grounded haha 😅
- Comment on FLOSS communities right now 10 months ago:
It’s better. Not good. Better than other tools, at least in the eyes of the many people using it. But as I stated at another post, to me this speaks to the fact that we need better FOSS alternatives for whatever purposes discord is used. I don’t like Discord either, don’t get me wrong! But so many people using it means something’s missing and I don’t think it cab solely be explained by the lack of knowledge of existing solutions but at least partly by the existence itself.

Just use a VPN bro, all good then /s

Hello, as I said, it’s about “security by design”, which means to design a system that ‘doesn’t allow for insecure things’ in the first place. Like a microwave oven doesn’t operate when the door is open. IT-/cyber-security is a complex field, but 2FA is a good place to start, regarding user facing services. There are lots more things than that of course.
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 11 months ago:
That’s exactly right. I was about to say how people usually don’t even “not take it seriously” but rather don’t even think or know about it. But you already said that yourself haha :D
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 11 months ago:
The lions share IMHO is at 23&me. Offering such a poorly secured service is negligence, in the face of the data’s high sensitivity nature.
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 11 months ago:
This shouldn’t be “offered” IMHO, this should be mandatory. Yes, people are very ignorant about cyber security (I’ve studied in this field, trust me, I know). But the answer isn’t to out the responsibility on the user! It is to design products and services which are secure by design.
If someone is actually able to crack accounts via brute-forcing common passwords, you did not design a secure service/product.
- Comment on 23andMe tells victims it's their fault that their data was breached | TechCrunch 11 months ago:
I wpuld saz it’s partially their fault. IMHO 23&me is mainly to blame. They should’ve enforced (proper) 2FA. Sure, people should’ve known better, but they didn’t; they oftenly don’t. But 23&me did know better.

- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 1 year ago:
Nailed it. No one can argue with that 🧠
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 1 year ago:
Essentially because after they did something bad it’s likely too late. But others can explain this in more detail with more knowledge than I have.
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 1 year ago:
This is a great example to explain it to people who are familiar with the topic. But if I tell that to a “random” friend, word for word, they won’t know what I’m talking about :D
- Comment on 41% of fediverse instances have blocked threads so far!!! 1 year ago:
Someone should make a post about why blocking Threads is good and why it’s not to be confused with gate keeping. If not properly communicated, this could look very badly for the uninitiated and they’re not to blame.
Some people of course have an educated opinion against blocking, but many presumably don’t know the reasons behind it.

Maybe read abeut the EEE strategy (embrace, extend, extinguish). Gatekeeping is bad but this isn’t about gatekeeping

After a few times I memorized where the bread or fruit (w/o barcode) I usually buy is in the menu and am almost equally fast as an employee would be. So it just took me some time to adjust personally.

- Comment on Panik 1 year ago:
You don’t say haha :D But there is no reason why people who don’t work or study in a math related field would have an intuition for that.
- Comment on Panik 1 year ago:
It “looks” or “feels” prime. And being divisible by a prime like 17 feels even stranger.

You don’t need a LLM for converting pseudo code to Latex. LLMs surely help at programming (in my experience), but I feel like your example is really giving them justice :p
