Do you enjoy reading 9 page documents written in stilted Soviet era bureaucratese? Are you interested in the minutia of Soviet Cold War counterintelligence operations? Have I got good news for you!

I present:

Information about the Work of the 4th Department of the 2nd Directorate on the Preparation and Implementation of the Chekist Active Measures against the Intelligence Services of the FRG from Counterintelligence Positions in 1967.

https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/104560/download

2nd directorate is, as you know, counterintelligence and the 4th department is activities against the federal republic of German (FRG).

Really fascinating stuff. Highly recommended

Jim Davis could be a straight-up serial killer and we'll never know. Dude was smart enough to realize that a mega money idea like "fat cat who likes lasagna" rolls around once in a lifetime and he's not about to let politics or anything else derail that gravy train

Did you know that the CIA was one of the first racially integrated govt agencies? Google “CIA Gary Webb” for more information! https://t.co/LSmAPM94hk

From now on I will be using "they're just a fancy statistical next-word predictor" to describe the opinions of everyone I don't like, including the people who repeatedly describe AIs as fancy statistical next-word predictors

One of the most visible murder trials in history just ended up with a verdict of "guilty" as a direct result of an 0day against iOS which was not disclosed to apple but ended up putting a murderer away for two life sentences. I am not exaggerating.

Alex Murdaugh is Guilty. And thank God his son “Paw Paw” took an iPhone video minutes before his father killed him so we could all hear his Dad’s voice on it which placed him at the crime scene. Justice from beyond the grave.

Folks just be wary of downloading models from unknown or compromised sources that use Pytorch (i.e., pickle files). They can be used to execute arbitrary code.

Never a dill moment: Exploiting machine learning pickle files

By Evan Sultanik Many machine learning (ML) models are Python pickle files under the hood, and it makes sense. The use of pickling conserves memory, enables start-and-stop model training, and makes…

28000 apps send data to TikTok. Leeching as much information as possibly is the norm for mobile applications. Reselling that data is endemic, it’s a core part of the ecosystem.

Treating a single app as a source of data leakage ignores the reality that all apps extract data, and most of that data is enriched, repackaged and sold (and resold). The problem is the system that extracts and distributes that data, not any one app. The solution is legislation to protect people by making data toxic.

Naturally the problem here is that users have no lobby promoting their interests, while the exploiters of data make fortunes from the status quo.

We Found 28,000 Apps Sending TikTok Data. Banning the App Won't Help.

TikTok’s software development kits could undermine Joe Biden's order to stop internet traffic flowing from federal employees' phones to TikTok within 30 days.
