  • What’s wrong with your reading comprehension?

    I never said I supported Assad, I’m glad he’s gone.

    What we have now is not significant better, and has every indication that it’s going in the same direction, except instead of siding with Russia they’re siding with US.

    If history is worth any lessons, we can expect the average Syrian’s living conditions to be significantly worse than under Assad, Sadnaya may be closed, but Julani’s gangs murdering minorities in public is not exactly better…

    The Syria we grew up with is gone, ripped apart by foreign fighters, and colonial powers are grabbing what’s left over. Assad was bad, that doesn’t make Julani good.

    What I said is that Syria had a formidable army under Assad, an army that engaged in wars and won, an army that fought Israel before, an army that was organized and equipped. That simply doesn’t exist anymore, the civil war erased it.

    That’s not a compliment of Assad, it’s just a statement of fact.







  • That’s not what they’re saying. They’re saying llms are getting so good at revealing vulnerabilities that they have to put focus and effort on finding and fixing them before external malicious actors do.

    Yeah it’s faster to find a bug than to refactor a whole codebase to fix it, they’re still using llms to speed up fixing the bugs. If you believe them, anyway.

    I do. Their software stacks were so shit and bloated and had many owners with different visions and understanding of what code does what and why and they rely on being closed source to survive penetration, I do believe llms are finding vulnerabilities left and right, and focused refactoring to address legacy human slop can take time, even for a super competent llm that does it correctly in one shot.
