Wow! Someone built a vulnerable PHP site, put Bitcoin in a wallet, and told the internet to come steal it. There is even a live timer running to see whether PHP vulnerabilities are really as exploitable as people claim.

If AI is reducing working hours and increasing productivity, why aren’t companies reducing working hours too?
Why should employees keep working the same long hours when AI helps them get work done faster?
Shouldn’t employees get to spend that extra time with their families, pursue hobbies, and take care of their personal lives?
If companies get the productivity gains from AI, shouldn’t employees get some of their time back too?

I’m concerned we haven’t adequately prepared for the inflation of exploit naming. We should probably be using
php00002shell
Just to be future-proof. That will allow an easy 99997 more exploits before we need to update again.

MLC elections in 28 seats across 4 big states - Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Bihar and Karnataka.
Elections held using ballot papers.
Guess how many seats Congress won? 🧐
Don’t chase her, man. There’s a difference between making an effort and chasing someone. You’ve expressed your feelings, and she’s given you her answer. Respect that & let her choose what she wants without pressure. You can’t rebuild trust or make someone fall in love with you.

Mobile PLI stats as follows:
Government incentive paid: Rs 19,000 Cr.
Direct tax collected: Rs 25,000 Cr.
GST collected: Rs 3,00,000 Cr.
Electronics manufacturing employs 25 Lakh people; mobile manufacturing alone employs 12 Lakh.
Cope harder!!
One in four iPhones is made in India, but imported parts and costly subsidies complicate the success story. @andymukherjee70 takes apart an iPhone to explain why copying China's manufacturing model may not pay off 🎥

For anyone getting into biology, please consider taking airborne disease resistance more seriously.
It's a super important area of medicine that is a huge cause of death and sickness but easily gets forgotten. We're likely to get many more airborne plagues in the future due to the combination of not just extremely dense and interconnected society (including city and farm animals), but also accidents from bio research and offensive biotech (both from random people and from secret government programs that can easily get themselves exempted from safety restrictions), all enhanced by powerful AI.
Right now, this area is getting way less love than longevity research (which continues to be super important!), but it's an area where there are lots of unclaimed wins that we know exactly how to do (but are not yet doing) with present-day tech:
* early detection
* passive universal testing
* filtration/ventilation/UVC
* better vaccines (including making them open source and open science)
* cryptography to make all of the above privacy-preserving
We can have China-level pandemic resistance with Sweden-level limited intrusion into people's lives, and then go even further. We just have to actually do the work for it.
Some people are unemployed despite being talented. Some are employed despite giving everyone a reason to question their skills and competence.
Sir ka ye job to AI bhi nahi kha sakta.
REALITY CHECK: 28 MLC seats, Congress wins ZERO — including the loss of a sitting member’s seat in Karnataka.
MLC elections are not a direct reflection of voter mood, but they do offer clues to regional power equations, party organisation and the local level challenges facing Congress. Zero wins across 28 seats is a result the party cannot afford to ignore.🙏
After all these years on this platform, I finally got 500 RTs for the first time in my life. This tells you how bad I am at social media and expressing my feelings and opinions. Smh.
Saying this again. AI is not the problem. People who refuse to learn, adapt or improve are. If you had time to make 50 reels about your life as an engineer but no time to upgrade your skills, you made your priorities clear. Now live with the consequences.

Announcing 3 Critical vulns for hundreds of millions of IoT, Firewalls, OT, and Military devices including: Palo Alto Networks, Comcast, D-Link, HP, Canon, Honeywell, GE, Oracle, Siemens, Rockwell, Digi, Lockheed Martin, Boeing...
The vulns are with GoAhead Web Server which is a backend library used by these devices. There's a patch available from GoAhead but that doesn't mean there's a patch available for the devices yet -- that's up to the manufacturer.
- TLS traffic over DHE ciphers have a 1-byte secret, "04", meaning anyone can decrypt connections to these devices and steal login credentials and session tokens if the client negotiated with DHE ciphers like the latest TLS_DHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256, which is extremely likely.
- LibreSSL mTLS has been completely bypassed, meaning anyone can connect over mTLS. If you have one of these devices listening on the internet and are expecting mTLS to protect it from attackers, take it offline or patch asap.
- OpenSSL Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) are not enforced, meaning if a user device is stolen or compromised, and you revoke that mTLS cert, nothing actually happens. There are a lot of other attacks this can be used for.
These are critical because these types of devices run our world. Water systems, electricity, military, firewalls, critical infrastructure.
