The Latest Defense Against ICE: 3D-Printed Whistles
Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

The deceptively simply-named Password Checker is legit and good and more intro-to-security material should point to it.
@troyhunt is doing good work, largely for free, and this site is most definitely not stealing your passwords. He has plenty already.

The dude that bankrolled the movie Half Baked acquired a controlling interest in NSO Group
Doesn’t look like he’s ever ventured outside entertainment before, I don’t see any obvious connection or rationale (though I haven’t dug very deep)

There's some really big caveats to this. A thread.

I’m so relieved to hear this. It’s not just hyperscalers either. Every time I build even the simplest things these days, it feels like trying to build a lego set while a bunch of monkeys do their best to tear it apart.

Yes! Most people's experience with AI is not "a very tedious, data-heavy, repetitive process that if automated could vastly improve the quality of my work and job."
It's "mom sending me fake videos of riots in her neighborhood, she's scared to go outside" or "trump shits on protestors."

Even if you think, like I do, that AI has a lot of cool potential uses, that’s a very understandable reason why a lot of people get angry whenever it’s brought up right now.

“a new study… showed that everyone was bad at estimating their own performance”
This is old news.
Dr. Dunning already came to this conclusion before GenAI was a thing. Later in his career, he came to believe that this was more of a scale, and everyone was somewhere on it.
