in a utopian future, addictions like that would be cured and siloed. hopefully, those with motivation to understand the mechanisms of human suffering would be in charge of policy.

it doesn't sound like you understand what you are doing?

Why? He clearly explained it, rules prohibited resource exhaustion literally, which is funny because it prohibited to do the exploit it was asked.

in theory.

many common nginx setups and hardening suggestions would make it very difficult to exploit. as well as any sort of distributed architecture that doesn't pin requests to clients.

there could be other undiscovered paths to exploit this vulnerability though. the PoC here uses the disclosed path for exploiting on patch day, minus mod_php.


there are a number of php docker images. some are insecure by default.

many php setups sit behind nginx, caddy, or other webserver with a max body size limit.

anyone following OWASP / similar guidelines was probably okay here (for this particular PoC path), if not using apache/mod_php, i would think.


for people who still code. why do you need them not to?

I do code -- the app logic. I also am well aware of what the infrastructure code does, I just don't type any of it myself.

Even if I wanted not to code it I couldn't. LLMs are still incapable of creating code up to any decent standard.

Also, while I do the get the joy of programming, we sometimes forget to focus on the user. You being happy to have typed the whole thing once, and have it run everywhere via the magic of browsers may not be the best strategy if this means your user's lap will be overheating.

In the end as much as I like coding I would prefer my users' experience to be the best it can be. LLM assisted code delivers this better and faster than hand-typing it all (which in turn is better than completely vibecoding it)

i think you mean inheritable. you are right, in a way. ADHD as a disorder is a description of a disease state involving the medial temporal lobe and orbital front cortex of the human brain. you can acquire this disease state from environmental interaction. however, ADHD is known to be a inheritable trait as well.

in some forms, it will get worse as you age. that is especially true if you have environmental pressure, like alcohol use, lack of exercise, amphetamine use, etc.

those with ADHD tend to fuck up everything anyway. the only real cure is a "genetic" one. it is necessary to stop those risk taking behaviors that compound the initial disease state.

however if you cure risk taking, you fuck society and the economic progress of humanity. the disease state known as "ADHD" is a net positive for the whole, even if it isn't always a net positive for the individual. so, it is selected for, in terms of natural selection. though "artificial selection" (i think this term is meaningless, really it describes self-reflection, which is a normal trait.) allows for humans to pass this trait on much more often now, as humans have corrected many life-ending disease states that used to curb things like ADHD from being passed on.


As someone who deals with ADHD and whose immediate family tree all have it, whose parents fell deep into drug addiction and fucked their and my life up, who has watched both his sister and brother destroy their lives from drug addiction and untreated ADHD, it is not a net good. Romanticizing mental illness is not good. This disorder sucks and I would rather not have it at all. It's not a "creative thinking" disorder, it's an executive function disorder that gets in the way of everything.

i am sorry that you have had a rough life, but using ADHD as a root cause for substance use disorder is confusing. ADHD is a behavioral phenotype that can arise from a number of different genotypes. it isn't one thing. also, i am not romanticizing anything. i was halfheartedly theorizing about selection pressures and ADHD.

It's only confusing if you don't understand the direct correlation between ADHD and drug abuse statistics as well as a host of other things that compound to ruin people's lives. No one said it was a root cause, either. It's well established that ADHD, while having genetic foundations, can be part of positive feedback loop which worsens the condition as well as your ability to cope with it. No need to argue about it; these correlations are well-established in literature.

i understand the correlation of SUDs and ADHD. ADHD is also correlated with the population of adults in prison. it doesn't mean if your mother had ADHD you will end up in jail.

Correct. Can you articulate the point you were trying to make, then?

then resist them. you are doing what you accuse others of doing, even though they aren't. you are demonizing those who take medication here. apparently, in light of this comment, in a form of transference of your anxieties. it might be useful to reflect on that.

it is a review of existing literature. maybe someone will attempt to explore those factors in the future.

from the paper:

"Future research should consider psychosocial and sociodemographic factors to understand how being female, being of a minoritized race or ethnicity, and having experienced childhood maltreatment may contribute to the risk of mortality in people with ADHD. More diverse and representative samples are needed to improve generalizability and to identify inclusive pathways for intervention. Subgroups of people with ADHD who experience the highest mortality risk should be examined to support informing of initiatives to reduce premature mortality in people with ADHD. Clinically, these findings underscore the importance of long-term, comprehensive care for individuals with ADHD, with particular attention to identifying and addressing modifiable factors that may contribute to excess mortality risk. The association between medication use and lower mortality also highlights the importance of equitable access to evidence-based ADHD assessment and treatment."
