@… I seriously had to yesterday haha. Today I'm currently fixing it with a lot more Cypress Hill, before that was Glass Beams. Have you heard em? I boosted the YT video @… posted a couple days ago, huge thanks to him for this dis…

DeepCode AI Fix: Fixing Security Vulnerabilities with Large Language Models
The automated program repair field has attracted substantial interest over the years, but despite significant research efforts, creating a system that works well for complex semantic bugs such as security vulnerabilities has proven difficult. A promising direction to solve this challenge is by leveraging large language models (LLMs), which are increasingly used to solve various programming tasks. In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of LLMs for solving code-repair task. We show that …

The Acrobatics of BQP
One can fix the randomness used by a randomized algorithm, but there is no analogous notion of fixing the quantumness used by a quantum algorithm. Underscoring this fundamental difference, we show that, in the black-box setting, the behavior of quantum polynomial-time ($\mathsf{BQP}$) can be remarkably decoupled from that of classical complexity classes like $\mathsf{NP}$. Specifically: -There exists an oracle relative to which $\mathsf{NP^{BQP}}\not\subset\mathsf{BQP^{PH}}$, resolving a 2005…

Judge Dismisses DirecTV's Antitrust Lawsuit Against Nexstar
A judge has dismissed the antitrust lawsuit DirecTV filed last year accusing Nexstar of engaging in price-fixing activity in contract negotiations.

So, yeah, I’m not saying if I worked for Libby on their app I’d fix all these problems overnight. Companies ship their org charts. This was all a deliberate choice. Not fixing obvious bugs is a choice. If you chose to do nothing, that’s still a choice.

A newly discovered vulnerability baked into Apple’s M-series of chips allows attackers to extract secret keys from Macs when they perform widely used cryptographic operations, academic researchers have revealed in a paper published Thursday.
The "#GoFetch" flaw—a side channel allowing end-to-end key extractions when Apple chips run implementations of widely used cryptographic protocols—can’t…

Android TVs Can Expose User Email Inboxes
An attacker requires physical access, but it’s possible to sideload Chrome onto some Android TVs which then gives access to the users’ email inbox. Google says it’s now fixing the issue.
