Indeed, it was all manual code review. Fuzzing can only go so far in detecting logic flaws (since logic flaws rarely result in a crash, they're quite difficult to instrument).

As background: I spotted some unrelated commit to the .netrc parsing code and that brought this ancient code to my attention. Fairly quickly I could see that *something* was off but couldn't put a pin on it immediately. After some pondering, I could figure out a scenario that would show demonstrable information leak.

interesting: On iOS 18.2, typing that in the text field of an empty message reads, " 1 1 back quote 50." I also discovered the same quirk with the number 711, so I wouldn't be surprised if on Mac OS that also wigged out like that. Looks like somehow it's getting passed to be parsed as speech parameter values instead of getting processed by the text processor part of Eloquence for reading.

Mist World 3-in-one simulator updates: (mwgame.wiki/mistsim.html):
- we now do a loop recurring until all remaining shards that are level 1 are exhausted. This should make gem crafting pricing and levels more accurate when using the "use leftover shards" checkbox.
- live region updates for NVDA: aria-live is primarily triggered by changes to the content of an element, not changes to its attributes. If you're only changing an attribute of the input field (like its value), some screen readers might not pick up on that as a content change. NVDA is one of these, so it was decided that a status div serves better of a purpose here over an input.
- added a 4th radio to Gem simulator: "Calculate by starting gem inventory amount and level " which will let you specify one starting gem and level, then type in an amount. Plans are for this feature to expand into a gem-agrigator.JS which would let you add and generate multiple fields for each level you have.
- shard price updates current as of December 10th from the game.

Wrote up my initial impressions of the new Google Gemini 2.0 Flash model - it's really good, and the streaming mode (where you can stream video and audio to it and get audio streamed right back) is pure science-fiction simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/11/…

Hysterical, even if you don’t know your Mozart from your Bach, but exquisitely performed if you do! In the UK for one week only this year!
“We exist despite the sober formality of great concert halls, despite the boredom of classical musicians’ life, despite fanatic lovers of classical music, despite fans of rock, rap or pop who are afraid of classical music. We treat our Muse with a humorous irony and we’re sure, she will have nothing against it!”

The MozART Group are in the UK for one week only!

Looking forward to taking the wife to enjoy this in a few months. Something to Look Forward to in the New Year!

Som AI skeptik. Nie žeby aktuálne jazykové modely nedokázali veľmi pekné veci, keď sa nasadzujú na správne use cases ale očakávania sú prehnané a AI na nás vyskakuje pomaly aj z chladničky. Pália sa v tom miliardy a veľkohubé sľuby striedajú ešte odvážnejšie vyhlásenia. Myslím si, že je to cesta do pekla a táto bublina môže šeredne prasknúť.

Z veľkej časti súhlasím, je tam úžasná reálna technológia, ale v tejto aktuálnej podobe nemá vôbec ani len teoretický potenciál zrevolucionalizovať všetko. Áno, sú oblasti kde to revolúciu prinesie, ale je ich oveľa menej než si od toho ľudia často sľubujú. A otázka je aj čas - kedy? Pretože aj v oblastiach, kde sme tú revolúciu očakávali už pred dvoma rokmi sa stále nekoná. Takže je tiež len otázkou času, kedy si otázku "dokedy máme čakať" položia investori, a to môže byť ten špendlík.

No podľa mňa sú to nerealistické očakávania toho, čo je technologická revolúcia. Ony sa dejú pomaly a len spätne si ich predstavujeme prudko.

Ja si naozaj myslím, že o 10-15 rokov bude s AI skoro každý pracovať alebo ich prácu ovplyvní. O 50 rokov bude všadeprítomné a zapletené do každého aspektu života. Keď sa pozriem na iné dôležité technológie (internet, atómová energia, parný stroj,...), tiež to boli revolúcie trvajúce desaťročia.

A to som vo svojich odhadoch konzervatívny.

"Nearly 70% of those laid off in the 2022 tech layoffs were women."

Since there's only 21% women in tech, I can't see how this is anything other than discrimination.

wired.com/story/tyranny-tech-b…

Job termination rates also show discrimination against BIPOC, queer, and disabled people.

The 2022 tech layoffs were 70% women. BIPOC, queer, and disabled workers were also terminated at higher rates.

While we can't prevent corporate layoffs, we can ensure the future of the free and open source community is more diverse and inclusive. Outreachy and Conservancy are vital to that future.

@outreachy connects people who face discrimination and systemic bias to internships in free and open source software. @conservancy staff and contractors run Outreachy.

Outreachy corporate sponsorships and grants have been drastically reduced since 2022. This means Outreachy can't offer as many internships to people who face discrimination and systemic bias in tech. Outreachy's normal 60 to 70 intern cohorts have been reduced to 25 to 35 interns.

Please consider donating to the Conservancy fundraiser, in support of Outreachy and the diverse and inclusive future FOSS needs:

@fireborn @miki My actual gripe is stealing the existing shortcut when they've already got one, as alt+space needs to be used by things already. Maybe they're just trying to unify things, but in that case the keystroke for the system menu needs to be rebound and that's gonna break all the muscle memory. The system menu is necessary, apps can add their own shit there it isn't always the default actions which can be accomplished with other shortcuts.
