Gradient ascent is superior to generate-and-test in any domain in which you have even a heuristic gradient that is sometimes wrong.

Why people working on software where something serious is at stake would throw out known gradient to use a code generator + testing is beyond my capacity to understand.

Our engineers used AI-assisted tooling the same way many teams use modern development tools: to help review, organize, and improve internal code. Every change was reviewed by engineers and went through our standard security and quality processes before being accepted. The security model behind 1Password remains the same. We cannot see the contents of your vault, and neither can anyone else. That has not changed.

Bitwarden New CEO has extensive M&A, Private equity experience, Removes Transparency from its Motto - Lemmy.World

I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert. Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

On the Security of Password Managers - Schneier on Security

Good article on password managers that secretly have a backdoor. New research shows that these claims aren’t true in all cases, particularly when account recovery is in place or password managers are set to share vaults or organize users into groups. The researchers reverse-engineered or closely analyzed Bitwarden, Dashlane, and LastPass and identified ways that someone with control over the server­—either administrative or the result of a compromise­—can, in fact, steal data and, in some cases, entire vaults. The researchers also devised other attacks that can weaken the encryption to the point that ciphertext can be converted to plaintext...
