I know the @ivory team has been working on improving their app, but I am soooo ready for grouped notifications.

(This is not a request for your favorite other app, or recommendation to use the web interface. Just me whining)

This morning my plane got waved off landing at O’Hare due to (I need to emphasize that the pilot started the announcement with “you’re not going to believe this but”) coyotes on the runway.

So we did an extra lap around Chicago and I got this neat picture

It struck me that the “hire AI instead of humans” billboards would be seen all have femme faces.

Because techno’s don’t think women are a threat to their careers?

This is the face of a cat whose idea of reminding me it’s lunchtime is to climb on my lap and start purring.

Hey #ShmooCon!

Looking forward to seeing all of you at 5pm to talk about why some incidents are more expensive than others (and what you can do about it)

Look for the quilted tote bag if you want to chat!

When I visited family over Thanksgiving, my mom gave me a bunch of assorted fabric she’s been given but couldn’t use.

This included some random, non-coordinating quilt blocks.

What do you do with a bunch of quilt blocks that would not make a pretty quilt?

If you’re me, apparently you make tote bags. This is the quilt block I liked least, so used it as my learning project. It’s using entirely that gifted fabric, plus batting and thread I already had.

Hopefully a bunch more bags to come!

The whole thread, but especially this part.

I remember hearing Alan Paller talk about designing a program, and how it had frustration built into it. The idea was to force the kids to work through having incomplete information. It both weeded out those who wanted to be spoon fed, and made the payoff so much sweeter for those that stuck with it.

Being curious enough to keep picking at a problem is a huge skill. https://mathstodon.xyz/@ColinTheMathmo/113702186011847552

Every once in a while I complain about how random people manage to use my email to sign up for shit.

Today I showed up in HIBP in a breach of French citizen data.

So that’s neat.

Y'all, we need to talk about when GenAI use is worse than just doing a job "terribly".

Lots of my job involves reading insurance questionnaires. And they're long and tedious and talk about things like they're absolutes but we all know there's way more nuance than there's room for in a couple of box checks.

But! There's comments fields! And for me and my team, those comments fields are gold. They give us a sense of how the organization really thinks about security. We can usually tell if the questions were answered by the legal team, or the IT leadership, or the security leadership, because each of those roles uses different language and jargon. And this tells us about the organization! We love reading y'all's comments.

And then there's something I saw recently where the comments were... off. It almost felt like someone was copy/pasting from a cyber security basics textbook. In response to every "do you implement this control" question, there was a response of "Yes! We implement that control! It is a really important control because ".

I mentioned this to my teammates and their immediate response? GenAI. That's not how any professional adjacent to this field writes. You don't need to explain to your insurance carrier what those controls are. We know. That's why we're asking about them in the questionnaire!

And, I get it. These questionnaires are long and confusing. You don't know what the "right" answer looks like. We get it. But GenAI isn't going to help. It's not going to give an accurate answer of what's in your organization's environment. It's not going to give us a sense of your competency. It absolutely isn't going to impress us, because now we think that you have no idea how cyber security works.

If you're using GenAI to get over writer's block, that's great! But you still need to edit that content into shape. If you're worried about language barrier issues and think GenAI will help you get your point across better because its English is better? Just write in your native language, we have translation tools. If you're worried that your answer isn't "good enough"? Look, the questionnaire is the start of a conversation. If you're the sort of company that does calls with underwriters, we can talk through whatever issues you think you have. But we need to have an honest exchange.

Just, please, PLEASE, don't blindly use GenAI to fill out your questionnaires.
