    That's a mixpanel breach if the unauthorised access was mixpanel staff accounts.

    If someone phishes your gmail account, there is no gmail breach.

  2. kevcampb parent
    Possibly because OpenAI have just made a post stating there has been a breach https://openai.com/index/mixpanel-incident/ and implicating Mixpanel as the cause
  3. kevcampb parent
    The title here is misleading. The original article does not state breach and at no point have Mixpanel used that term.

    Google converted my mum's Gmail account to a workspace account automatically. Now she can't use her bedroom alarm clock because it's connected to my dad's Gmail account and you can't share access to workspace accounts. It's stupidly maddening.

    And yes I realise that an IoT alarm clock is ridiculous, but that's not the point.

    > This is pulling the content of the RSS feeds of several news sites into the context window of an LLM and then asking it to summarize news items into articles and fill in the blanks?

    This is awful. It's cutting out any money going to the news agencies that go out there and write news. If they didn't exist, Kagi wouldn't work.

    If you read the proposal, this is for providing automated defences against social engineering attacks - eg: phishing. It's incredibly benign.

    That's not how it's presented on Elon's twitter post, certainly. The replies are just layers and layers of conspiracy theories.

  8. kevcampb parent
    For context, this is likely related to an Elon Musk tweet earlier today https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1887185381797343504 quoting Ian Miles Cheong

    > Can someone explain to me why the Department of Defense provided $9,147,532.00 to Reuters for "ACTIVE SOCIAL ENGINEERING DEFENSE (ASED) LARGE SCALE SOCIAL DECEPTION (LSD)"

    Submitted previously as https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=29646949 but didn't get traction. Clearly it needed a punchier title.

    There's no suggestion that China gets any first say on 0-days. The law in question re reporting is at http://www.gov.cn/gongbao/content/2021/content_5641351.htm and states that you must immediately notify vendors of security flaws, and then the MIIT within 2 days.

    The original title was too long for submission, so some cuts were needed. I tried to preserve the meaning as best I could

    The SCMP has updated their front-page link to read

    "China disciplines Alibaba Cloud for handling of Log4j bug"

    "If their degree cost them $60,000 to obtain, it would take them four years to recoup their education costs ($60,000 net cost / $15,000 earnings premium)."

    They completely omit the time spent getting the degree and associated loss of earning during that period

    It's strange in that my floor number changes depending on what language you are using. For systems that parse addresses into a structured format it's a real problem, as they need to ensure they are rendered into the original language.

    A fun one to add. In Hong Kong, old walk-up buildings often have different floor numbers in English than they do in Chinese.

    For example, 2/F in English may be 三楼 (third floor) in Chinese.

    This isn’t new. The US ending of the big blue was switched to a happy one

    It's not "photo taken"

    https://www.hongkongfp.com/2019/12/02/china-tightens-cybersp...

    A China Unicom customer service representative told AFP that the December 1 “portrait matching” requirement means customers registering for a new phone number may have to record themselves turning their head and blinking.

    Jupytext works as an extension in Jupyter. Your work is saved as py automatically whenever you work on the notebook. So it's not a conversion at commit time, unlike say nbstripout
