This is moreso about the (human-intended) tools, data, and environments you have available to you. Wanna do defense? Get more telemetry. Wanna do red? Get solid test-bed environments. Mature infosec programs are benefiting the most, good-guy-side wise, at the moment; because they've got these things in order already.
As far as harness engineering goes, it boils down to your ability to clearly define goals or success criteria, and safely facilitate the necessary access via the harness. There is no easy single piece of advice here, sadly. Though it would be helpful if you said what 'for Cyber-security ... other user-cases' means in your case.
Walnut is the .NET and OpenXML backend. I think the point parent was trying to make it that it shouldn't be surprising Codex bundles runtimes for damn near everything.
Not sure as OpenAI models (Sol, Luna,..) are also discounted on the Vercel AI Gateway rn. My bet is on OpenAI trying to drive more enterprise customers to their models through API.
I use RSS and I skip most articles. But even then there is a backlog of unread stuff I want to get to "eventually" (just like my to-read list on my library account, which is way long).
But if my news aggregator (NNN) gets restarted, and I loose some of the unread stuff, I don't sweat it.
Came here to say the same thing. I'd like to add that keeping up has also become very boring. It's always the same news - AI this AI that, I would like to see something new.
I wrote a browser extension to automatically click the Hide link for stories containing AI keywords. It helps keep the boring stuff off the front page. https://github.com/ColdPie1/enough-ai-on-hn
I browse the HN titles daily. Even comment quite a bit. But I still don't click on 95% of the stories and if the "AI" spam makes me miss something interesting it's okay, life goes on.
Incidentally that's what I've been saying since ChatGPT was new and laughable. GenAI is best at spam.
I come from reading about CRDTs from Evan Wallace and also having built a product used by >40M users.
It applies to software products too!
In their words…
If you want to build products, use React or even vibecode; you will learn higher-level issues of solutions to problems (i.e. people problems rather than machine problems), not how to push data/state/computation around. The problem is solving a need.
Neither is good nor bad; just be clear about your goals and then it’ll be easy to decide if you want to follow Zynga’s cofounder, Jonathan Blow, or Notch! And before you rush to answer… consider whether any of them are happy.
For people who recommend against learning these skills because “what Carmack did is not possible anymore.”… well, if what you look for is money then yeah! But, if you just want to learn for the love of the game, then that would be a very bad advice!
