I think you meant to be replying to the other guy? I'm the one arguing against a toxic rules based inflexible interview requirement?

I'm not gonna flex back my more than that years of hiring because appeal to authority is weak sauce. And also, I'm pretty sure the way I chose to conduct my interviews isn't a 'take' and I'll do it the way I damn well please to make the I reviewed feel comfy. I'm trying attract them to my company.

Food is a while different matter. You're gonna be talking .stuffing food in your mouth isn't gonna work. But a drink of some kind? Who cares? You're gonna be talking for an hour. And as an interviewer I often offer the interviewee a tea or coffee. So why should it matter if they bring their own.

I gotta say, I'm genX and often conduct interviews, and I couldn't give a flying fuck what people bring into the interview. As long they're dressed professionally and meet the requirements. If someone brings a bottle of water for dry throat no one bats and eye. Why is coffee different?

Truth. I just recently found the spawn soundtrack on record in a store and bought it. Based on a play when I got home I thought "oooo I should watch spawn again" There were regrets.

I mean... That's the stuff EVERY website collects about you... It's terrible I agree. But not sure why it's shocking? That should be youre baseline expectations of being tracked these days unless the site explicitly states "no track". And even then...

Also, why must you use this AIg garbage for images? There's no reporter in front of the camera but it's in the viewfinder. And the line on the screen is not the same line in the image. It just looks cheap and nasty. Be better.

The whole "digital ownership isn't possible because if we sold the game to one person it wouldn't be available for the next person" is the dumbest argument I've ever heard. If that was how buying things worked then only one person could ever own each book that exists. What a dumb argument.

I scroll past a clip of a kid playing guitar. I question if the kid ever existed. I see a discussion in a comment thread. There’s one too many em-dashes. I see an instagram post. The caption is needlessly long and barely related. The internet used to be fun.

At what point do people just stop competing? You make a puzzle and everyone points llms at it and leaves the room. I argue that this totally removes the point of the whole exercise. Putting the cunning of humans against that machine. By your argument CTFs are dead as a thing. And we should just stop

I mean, in a comp less so. "Join this wifi to get access to the ctf. All external internet is firewalled off. If you're caught using local llms you'll be disqualified" I've been in cybersec for over 25 years. And yes sneaky people will be sneaky. But "we've tried nothing and are out of ideas?"

Kai Frost @theprideofdarkhan.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Just make llms illegal to use in the competition. We don't let people engaging in horse races use F1 cars. If it's about the sport of human vs machine/challenge. Make it that. It's not that hard. - an old and bitter security professional.

Ja, this is why I run my "fuck it why not" Bitcoin solo miner on my solar battery only. If there's surplus off grid electricity (whi h there always is) it mines. If not, it shuts down. Screw paying for that.

China is 2.2% bigger than the US. The driving distances is not about size but about the fact that China has excellent public transport and long range trains. People don't NEED to drive intercity when it's cheaper and more pleasant to just take a train.

Sure, and keep in mind this is Australian dollars, so take that into account. Not counting cost of car was $18,000 that includes 28kwh battery and 11kwh of panels. So it's a big install. But got it on a green loan. So payments are less than my power bill was. I save over the time paying it back.

I own a small farm and I've had a byd atto3 for 2 years now. It tows 750kg which is more than enough for most of my needs. If I was willing to go hybrid I could have gotten a byd shark and that pulls anything a large truck will pull. I get 100% of my electricity from solar. It's possible now.

Not mine. I run mine 100% off my 11kwh solar install and 26kwh home battery. I haven't paid for electricity in years. Other than the rare earth minerals (which they are rapidly working to remove from EV batteries) mine is about as negative as you can drive. Stop it with the pro fossil fuel bull

I mean, isn't $110 about what it costs to get a good haircut these days? (AUD). Admittedly I'd aim for that every two months. My hair doesn't get out of control till about 6 weeks. But that's not outrageously expensive when compared with the non subscruotuon model.

Kai Frost @theprideofdarkhan.bsky.social · 07/03/2026

May I say, having a full electric car and solar panels is thoroughly amazing right now. The payments on green loan I took out for both worked out to less than the price of a car+gas over the next 5 years. Even before this war.

Fair, so's mine. I just lock it away in a few VMware vms. Let's me dedonate all kinds of crap in there and just reset it pre detonation in seconds. And also track malware lat movement. Used to have a lab for that but modern PCs are so powerful I just virtualised it all. All while keeping me safe.
