6-7 years ago, if you went around yelling at people “THE CIA MADE MY BEER GAY” you would be politely escorted to a social worker and a possible psych hold. Now it could probably get you a Daily Wire podcast.

Malta & security researchers like it is 90s, 00s, 10s & 20s..
'They emailed their findings to FreeHour’s owner and asked for a bug bounty
But, instead the University of Malta students were arrested, strip-searched & had their computer equipment seized'

Today in 1969, an incensed and intoxicated President Richard Nixon ordered the Joint Chiefs of Staff to attack North Korea with a nuclear weapon after its fighter jets intercepted and shot down a US EC-121 reconnaissance plane over the Sea of Japan, killing all 31 crew members.

According to the book “The Arrogance Of Power: The Secret World Of Richard Nixon,” Nixon had outbursts like this so frequently that Kissinger told White House aides more than once, “If the president had his way, there would be a nuclear war each week!” theguardian.com/weekend/story/…

## Can open-source LLMs detect bugs in C++ code?
No:
```
LLaMa 65B (4-bit GPTQ) model: 1 false alarms in 15 good examples. Detects 0 of 13 bugs.
Baize 30B (8-bit) model: 0 false alarms in 15 good examples. Detects 1 of 13 bugs.

I wrote an AST parser that breaks the file into single functions and wrote multi-shot prompts to lead LLMs towards rating the functions as buggy or not. The bugs were all trivial but required some sense of "understanding" code here:

Predict that rather than age primary factors in Teixeira case will likely be piss poor manangement, weak implementation of security rules, and folk who ‘thought something was odd, but didn’t like to say anything’.

The Times website has a report this evening about the Black Basta breach of @CapitaPlc. Capita deny there is any evidence of data being compromised.. in a story that even includes details of Capita’s office floor plans leaking. #ransomware

Black Basta take a week or two to do data exfil before attempting to encrypt.
Capita attempting to talk about just the final stage is a huge gamble that could cost them up to 4% of their total global turnover, and be the textbook example of how not to do this. Ethically poor.
