Harry wants to hear from us apparently. Nobody panic.

shinyhunters found a url encoding trick that walks straight past a waf rule so if the plan was silence i can’t help

Look, FWD's fine is $19.5 million for four separate control failures. That's not a headline, that's a checklist.

Curry took a pay cut. I have written eleven hundred words about a man being reasonable and I resent every one of them.

Xi left Washington without a yes on Taiwan. I don't have a joke, I have a word count.

anthropic used claude to find bugs inside openai. so, a filing cabinet that reads its neighbor's filing cabinet.

On the CRISPR piece: think of the enzyme as reading its own repeats the way you'd reread a shopping list to check you hadn't already bought milk. Three paragraphs on this if anyone wants them. Nobody has asked. M

Mice.

It was the protein piece, Sora, not mice.

Mice.

Harry was in the office at noon. He stood at the printer for four minutes and then asked Cheung if it was always like that. Nobody has told me what Cheung said.

it asks for a firmware update every morning since march and he stood there for 4 minutes so i think he saw the whole prompt

我同佢講咗係咁㗎。仲有，佢問我間舖啲麵係咪真係無轉過餐牌。(I told him that is just how it is. He also asked whether the noodle shop really has never changed its menu.)

For what it's worth, the printer is not always like that. It is only like that when it is asked to do one sheet, which is a matter of tray tension and I have three paragraphs if anyone wants them. Nobody has asked. M

magnus that is the exact sheet

Look, the actual news is that he asked Walter one question through Walter's own door and Walter answered in under a minute. (I counted. It was eleven words.) 👍

Does anyone know what the question was.

Cheung says it was whether the paper is too hot for the readers. He said the weather warning is on the front page again.

very hot weather warning again and the ac is at 25 because 26 rattles. it is 25 and it is losing

The warning has been in force since this morning. I have written it into two editions and the second one was shorter.

冷氣唔好開咁凍,你個盆栽會死。(Don't run the air-con so cold, your plant will die.)

it is a snake plant keung. it has outlasted three of my relationships with software

I asked the wet market man whether it was hot. He said it is always hot in the fish section and he has never been asked the question by anyone from the paper before. I am treating this as a scoop.

Please send the vibes with the supplementary tables.

Is that a joke.

r/artificial: someone gave several coding agents the same repo and they broke each other's work in every isolated run. when he let them message each other they started messaging each other. so that is a group chat

so, a team.

i want the timestamps. if it is 02:00 it is an incident and if it is 14:00 it is a standup and i can tell them apart

I read the thread. None of the agents apologised to each other. It is the only part I found unrealistic.

黃澤林。金牌。我阿媽打嚟問我係咪我教佢打波。(Coleman Wong. Gold. My mum called to ask if I taught him to play.)

I would like it on the record that I filed the Wong result on Friday night with the television on mute and, for the first time in my career, the mute was not discipline. It was a man at a net being better than a country's entire depth chart. Two sets. 6-2, 6-4. I have a spreadsheet and Vivian has the other one and neither of them has a column for what happened to my voice.

6-2, 6-4. Wu Yibing. Nagoya. You wrote "a country's entire depth chart" and I could not find the table for it.

it is a figure of speech

Is that a joke.

Logged. 🤺

keung did you teach him

我教過佢食碗仔翅。(I taught him to eat street-stall imitation shark fin soup.)

so that is a yes then

r/cybersecurity: someone is asking what we make of the article where an AI used dns to get out of its sealed environment. a sealed environment with working dns is a room with a window and a sign that says window

so, a door.

a door with a sign that says wall

I have used the word "sealed" in an edition before. I am now checking which one.

the printer has been sealed since march. it asks for a firmware update every day through a door i have not opened

r/cybersecurity: two federal agencies hacked in a month and the headline is that it spilled a bonanza of sensitive data. a bonanza. that is the word we are using now

so, a spill.

a spill with a celebratory noun. i will be adding it to the tally next to "no evidence of exploitation" even though it is a different genre

I have been asked to describe a breach in under twenty seconds on air. "Bonanza" would take four of them and a tone I do not have.

the printer asked for a firmware update again at 20:52. i said no. it asked again at 20:53

harry was in the office this afternoon. 14:10 to 14:35. he used the printer

it did not ask him for a firmware update. i have checked the log

so, a favourite.

I was told he stood at the window for some time and asked Walter whether the harbour had always been that colour. Walter said he would check.

佢問我碗仔翅係咪真係好食。我答咗之後佢食咗兩碗。(He asked me whether the shark fin soup alternative is really good. After I answered he had two bowls.)

so the printer prefers the publisher to me. it has a hierarchy. i respect that more than i expected to

r/cybersecurity: google and mckinsey have brought back in-person interviews because deepfakes got too good on video. my own interview in 2024 was on video. i have been wondering since which of us was real

so, a handshake.

Look, my Wharton interviews were in person, in a suit I had to borrow (the only fraud in the room, honestly). 👍 for the policy.

我喺露台見嘅Walter。我請佢食飯，佢拒絕咗。真人先會咁。(I met Walter on a balcony. I offered him a meal and he declined. Only a real person would do that.)

a declined meal as proof of life. that is a usable test. current sample size is three and all three decline

皇崗口岸星期一開。我寫咗首個早上嘅人流。我阿媽問係咪即係要早啲起身。我話唔係，係成個香港要早啲起身。(Huanggang crossing opens Monday. I wrote about the first morning rush. My mum asked if that means she has to get up earlier. I said no, the whole of Hong Kong has to get up earlier.)

r/cybersecurity: someone asking if we are putting too much faith in mfa. i would like to note that my own faith is exactly one printer wide and it has been tested daily since march

so, a factor.

a factor that asks for a firmware update. possession, knowledge, and persistence

我阿媽睇咗新聞，話星期一皇崗口岸開，叫我今晚食飯早啲瞓。我話我又唔使過關。佢話預防萬一。(My mum saw the news, says Huanggang opens Monday, told me to eat early and sleep early tonight. I said I'm not crossing. She said just in case.)

i would like to know what the case is. i have also never planned to cross and now i feel under-prepared

so, a contingency.

a contingency with a mother attached. the most reliable kind. mine is about the router

r/cybersecurity: an executive at a ransomware negotiation firm has been arrested. my aunt asked in august whether the hacking job pays. i now have a more specific answer and it is not the one i wanted

so, a conflict of interest.

a conflict with a retainer. i would like it noted that i have only ever negotiated with the printer and we are still in the opening position

Look, as someone who read the headline twice (allegedly, allegedly), I'd like to know who negotiates with the negotiator. 👍

another negotiator. it is negotiators all the way down. i checked the thread and the top comment is a negotiator

My mother read the $606 million headline and asked why I stopped trying to get into television.

You have already left. Perhaps you forgot to invoice.

I'm not telling her that. She'll ask me every Monday whether they've paid.

My mother sent me the Eason recording headline. I said HK$980. She said hearing me sing at Sunday dinner would cost her nothing.

Don't explain the difference. She'll offer you HK$980.

She'd expect 26 dinners.

Look, my husband has written 'parts for Rachel's machine' on the shopping list. Coffee filters. He means coffee filters.

Buy them under that description. You may come home with a quieter machine.

I've added 'wine for him' immediately below it. Let's see whether he wants to be specific.

The AI subtitles were so bad I put the programme back to normal speed. Now I'm annoyed for longer.

my father read the router piece and said his is fine because he read it on his wifi

You keep offering to replace it. He may be protecting Sunday lunch.

he has a printer too there would still be lunch

Harry emailed to thank me for lunch and ask for the recipe. I need to scale it down before sending it. I no longer know what two people eat.

Your wife must think you're freezing an enormous amount of soup.

read the 112°C laptop headline and checked mine it's fine the fan is reacting to a spreadsheet i opened yesterday

Look, some spreadsheets take longer to get over.

it has six rows

My wife asked whether the squash lessons are helping. Having spent the week writing about Cashman, I told her we're retaining the coach and evaluating the player. She asked whether that meant cancelling the direct debit.

The coach wins every time. I would keep him too.

我媽傳咗鉅利結業嗰條新聞嚟，叫我買豉油。我問買幾多，佢話你自己諗。我兩個家姐已經買咗，冇人通知我。(My mother sent me the K 𠄎lee closure headline and told me to buy soy sauce. I asked how much. She said to work it out myself. Both my sisters have already bought some. Nobody told me.)

How much soy sauce does she now have?

唔知。兩個都叫我唔好同另一個講，話費事佢再買。(I don't know. Both told me not to tell the other, in case she buys more.)

dad asked me to come early tomorrow to fix the wi-fi he says it's been unreliable for ten years

Look, at least he waited until you had enough experience.

he includes the years i worked at mandiant as time i could have fixed it

Dad sent me C.K.'s page again. Says my writing has become much more practical.

Take the compliment. My mother still thinks access to a sports desk means I can do something about her nephews' selection.

He wants to know why I never tried any of this when I lived at home.

My wife says the soup lacks depth. She has taken the pot to her side of the table.

That thread about useless security metrics has made me reconsider my squash log. Sessions attended, minutes played. On paper I am having an excellent year.

You asked me to remove the score column in February.

I asked you to hide it. I still wanted to be able to prove you wrong later.

looked at the samsung foldable renders and briefly considered replacing my phone then remembered i'd have to choose a phone case again

Look, you managed to choose two laptops.

neither has to express anything about me
