Comment Re:When I hear they are going to build a datacente (Score 1) 35

How many data centers in your immediate area? Are they the modern high density data centers with thousands of GPU units per rack or the old school 4U's in a rack supporting a few websites kind of data center?

As for employment, when is the last time you saw a data center that was bustling with human activity once construction and move-in was finished?

That was a joke! backhoes breaking fiber is part of the natural order.

That's why you should always carry a length of fiber with you. If you ever get stranded with no cell service, you can just bury the length of fiber in the dirt. When the backhoe guy comes along to break it, ask him for a lift.

It does nicely illustrate that AI may do a deeper scan, but not necessarily a better one.

There are existing rules based scanners for websites. Running one on any typical site will easily spit out more than 100 flagged issues. Some "consultants" will dutifully hand that report over and call it a day, but if you actually go through them, most if not all aren't even actual security flaws. Yes, if I POST data that includes the correct username and password, it will grant me access just as if I had filled in the login form. So what? Yes, if I give an invalid account number, it returns a page with (non-)error code 200. The page says "Access denied".

That isn't to say the AI tool is bad, just that it represents an EVOlution, not a REVOlution.

That's the crux of it. We have a bunch of legislators squawking like frightened chickens about "printing guns" who don't realize that the essential parts that make it a gun can't be printed in plastic (unless you WANT to go have an ER physician pluck plastic bits out of your face).

Meanwhile, no regulation whatsoever on the plumbing aisle of your favorite hardware store where you can get parts for a useful improvised gun.

Comment Self-Fulfilling Prophecy (Score 2) 66

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy is (or at least use to be) well known in teaching circles. That is, if you call out a child for being a certain way they will often change their behaviour to make that come true, whether positive or negative. It's interesting that the same thing seems true for AI models.
