So CEOs like Nadella say that 30% and soon most of their code is written by AI. It’s a sales pitch or they admit having lots of bad code. I run dev teams and we have all the AI tools, but we’re very far from trusting them. It’s not about tweaking Cursor rules, it’s about solving problems cleanly.

I wonder if people in cyber security already see a noticeable spike of incidents due to all the AI generated code out there.

It’s a familiar pattern: AI/ML was built in Python during the research phase and now most libraries and API examples are in Python as well. As a result, AI devs stick to Python, reinforcing its use. This is pushing us back by several years when low latency and distribution weren’t that critical.

Stefan Sperling (stsp@) recently enabled ice(4), a driver for Intel E810 Ethernet devices in #OpenBSD -current, and is still looking for testers who have the hardware to test on.
Stefan has been porting it from FreeBSD the over past few months requested by Genua, with funding.

A new WIP ice(4) driver has been added to #OpenBSD -current, for Intel E810 100GbE devices, ported from FreeBSD.
"This driver does not pass packets yet, lots of code is still missing.
Development will continue in-tree, w/ funding genua.

There’s an influx of new users following me. I haven’t posted anything in over a year. Are you robots?

It’s a bit weird to post my first OpenBSD diff after 3 years. Nothing special, just a PCI Id. https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=168785615802294&w=2

Trapped in a vi editor instance, commands to exit echo uselessly. Time blurs as the maze of code lines and command modes become a relentless prison. The once familiar hum of the hard drive intensifies, as hope of escape from this digital Backroom fades into oblivion.

We'll soon be launching a sandbox environment to begin the testing phase of federation for the AT Protocol with allow-listed servers.
In advance of this launch, here are some technical details about our design decisions.

We need more BSD people in BlueSky, I want to see more console screenshots, puffy stickers, and panic traces in the “What’s hot” stream.

Huge news! Starting today, you can set up a passkey for your Google account. At this stage of the industry-wide transition, setting up a passkey doesn’t invalidate your password, so it’s 100% safe to set up. https://blog.google/technology/safety-security/the-beginning-of-the-end-of-the-password/
The beginning of the end of the password
For some time we and others in the industry have been working on a simpler and safer alternative to passwords. While passwords will be with us for some time to come, they are often frustrating to remember and put you at risk if they end up in the wrong hands.Last year — alongside FIDO Alliance, Apple and Microsoft — we announced we would begin work to support passkeys on our platform as an easier and more secure alternative to passwords. And today, ahead of World Password Day, we’ve begun rolling out support for passkeys across Google Accounts on all major platforms. They’ll be an additional option that people can use to sign in, alongside passwords, 2-Step Verification (2SV), etc.So maybe, by next year’s World Password Day, you won’t even need to use your password, much less remember it!

I think that’s why many platforms support passkeys but not the password-less logins. Adding passkeys as 2FA is easy once you support WebAuthn, but skipping the password step can be a bigger change on the server side with some side-effects (eg. unauthenticated challenge retrieval).

Depends on the MFA: passkeys use the FIDO2 WebAuthn web protocol that is used for 2FA tokens like Yubikeys. Once you support it, you already support passkeys. They’re supposed to be a password replacement, so the platform has to skip the password in the login flow – this is technically not required.

I once wrote a paper about protocols instead of platforms, which @jack.bsky.social read, and thought was a good idea, and hired @jay.bsky.team to do something about, and she and her team built this site. And, I still don't quite understand what happened or how it's real.

I joined @bsky.app today, thanks for the invitation! Now I’m curious to learn more about the AT protocol and if there’s a Rust implementation.
