@inex @soatok "Look, I only gave the user a foot-gun. Most users know how to not use the foot-gun. I mean yes, it is a gun; and yes, it is pointed automatically at their foot; and yes, it is loaded and has a hair trigger; but users should know better. I mean they are programmers, for heaven's sake, they should know about trigger discipline."

Personally I would actively avoid the check,
Hmm. What a weird thing to say.
Loup-Vaillant wrote a cryptography library called Monocypher, which famously had an EdDSA vulnerability mostly caused by their insistence on rolling their own custom EdDSA variant to avoid SHA512.
"I wonder how Monocypher holds up in 2026?"
Who said that? Well, anyway:
-
@rusty__shackleford @soatok Trying to determine if this is bad snark on their part or the output of an AI agent

@cwebber @rusty__shackleford The "spell out the acronyms used in the filenames" part does gesture suggestively towards "AI"
The heel-turn on me allegedly not contacting them without an "You're absolutely right!" tells me that, even if it is AI, they at least edited the sycophancy out of it.

@soatok Wait, so the entire input validation scheme is "don't call it wrong?"
That's... well, that's a choice you can make, I guess.

@wordshaper Our Threat Model is "You must only accept secure inputs if you want secure outputs".

@soatok good thing this code doesn’t have to operate in an adversarial environment. Something unfortunate could happen.

@cwebber @rusty__shackleford @soatok I think the "the output length limit is a precondition" definitely stinks of AI, confusing pre and post like that. Either that or somebody is incredibly incompetent.
Resulting, now, in a situation where either someone has to admit how dumb they are or admit they let AI write this, which will result in a double down of angry denial, most likely.

Telecamere di Teheran hackerate e IA: l’arma letale del Mossad per uccidere Khamenei
@informatica
La morte di Khamenei ha svelato qualcosa che i professionisti della sicurezza informatica sapevano già: le infrastrutture di videosorveglianza pubblica sono tra i sistemi più vulnerabili e pericolosamente sottovalutati. Ecco cosa è successo,

@Vitalba con tutto il rispetto per i videogiochi, dove ho sparato tante bombe virtuali restando fermo nelle mie convinzioni filosofiche improntate alla nonviolenza e ben cosciente della differenza con le bombe reali.

#Cuba è davvero “la prossima”? Dopo le parole durissime del #senatore repubblicano #LindseyGraham, che ha parlato di un imminente crollo del regime, il dossier L’#Avana torna al centro della scena internazionale. Tra #crisienergetica, #pressioni di #DonaldTrump e tensioni diplomatiche, l’isola vive uno dei momenti più delicati della sua storia recente. Ma siamo davanti a una strategia concreta o a una potente narrazione politica?
