AI Images Detectors Are Being Used to Discredit the Real Horrors of War
Online AI image detecting tools that may or may not work are labeling real photographs from the war in Israel and Palestine as fake, creating what a world leading expert called a “second level of disinformation.”
Wikipedia's top five accounts (by number of edits) are all bots. There’s MalnadachBot (11 million edits), WP 1.0 bot(10 million), Cydebot (6.8 million), ClueBot NG (6.3 million), and AnomieBOT (5.9 million.). These bots range in functionality from migrating tables, formats, and markup as Wikipedia changes to automatically detecting and reverting vandalism. Others tag content with labels, archive old discussions, recommend edits, or create new content. The website couldn’t function without them.
I wish Rust were easier to pick up | How Linkerd became resilient to CVE-2023-44487, a HTTP/2 DDOS vulnerability, six months prior to its disclosure
Yesterday, CVE-2023-44487, a DDOS vulnerability in many HTTP/2 implementations, was disclosed. This is a very interesting attack involving the specifics of how HTTP/2 multiplexes concurrent requests on the same TCP connection, and there are several great writeups on how it works—see e.g. Cloudflare’s HTTP/2 Rapid Reset: deconstructing the record-breaking attack and Google’s How it works: The novel HTTP/2 ‘Rapid Reset’ DDoS attack for details of how this attack works and the consequences.

Scrollbars. Ever heard of them? They’re pretty cool. Click and drag on a scrollbar and you can move content around in a scrollable content pane. I love that shit. Every day I am scrolling on my computer, all day long. But the scrollbars are getting smaller and this is increasingly becoming a problem. I would show you screenshots but they’re so small that even screenshotting them is hard to do. And people keep making them even smaller, hiding them away, its like they don’t want you to scroll! “Ah”, they say, “that’s what the scroll wheel is for”. My friend, not everyone can use a scroll wheel or a swipe up touch screen. And me, a happy scroll-wheeler, even I would like to quickly jump around some time.
