mircea_popescu: "set an env variable" not quite the last word in terms of http://trilema.com/2019/what-is-meant-by-ai/#selection-231.1-231.42 "technololols"

mircea_popescu: could be just some random env stupidity, which from experience can eat a dozen dev hours for entirely n ogood reason. "nobody'd have thought of that"

mircea_popescu: (likbez : ant worker is not genetically distinct from ant queen. epigenetics (mostly, env factors - as in feed) make the fenotypical distinction. consequently yes, whole anthill, as far as its underlying mechanics go, is found in each worker ant, all you have to do is sequence the dna and explore the possibilities. that such is currently a computationally prohibitive task is not relevant to the discussion.)

mircea_popescu: !s from:mircea_popescu env

mircea_popescu: ;;seen [env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test"]

mircea_popescu: env x='() { :;}; echo vulnerable' bash -c "echo this is a test" << tester.

mircea_popescu: be of concern due to the ability to control HTTP_* in the env.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo, fonts. always the worst thing in any env.
