There’s a lot of chatter about Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, but what are they and how can they change how CTI teams research and action threats? In this CTI Session, we’ll explore how MCP enables Claude and other AI tools to query your threat intelligence data directly, enabling natural language queries that automatically select the right tools and correlate data across multiple sources.You’ll learn how security teams are using MCP to automate research tasks, correlate indicators across sources, and build custom intelligence pipelines that fit their specific operational needs. We’ll demonstrate Feedly’s MCP server in action and discuss both…
US lawmakers have removed provisions in the National Defense Authorization Act for 2026 that would have ensured military members’ right to repair their own equipment.The final language of the NDAA was shared by the House Armed Services Committee on Sunday, after weeks of delays pushed the annual funding bill to the end of the year. Among a host of other language changes made as part of reconciling different versions of the legislation drafted by the Senate and the House of Representatives, two provisions focused on the right to repair—Section 836 of the Senate bill and Section 863 of the House…
I’d seen somewhere on TikTok that you can upload a selfie to ChatGPT and ask what nonsurgical treatments you could consider. It gives you a full breakdown, like an AI cosmetic surgeon.Pretty cool, especially given the cost of a cosmetic doctor.But I’d tested out ChatGPT already for beauty advice and FaceApp to show me how I’ll age. I was looking for advice from AI that went deeper with insights based on my skin and what’s going on underneath its surface. It is the body’s largest organ, after all. That’s when I discovered Noom’s new AI Face Scan feature, which promises longevity stats…
Why It Works A brief soak in water plumps the dates for easier stuffing and prevents them from drying out.Par-cooking center-cut bacon ensures it crisps evenly in the final bake. Devils on Horseback may sound like a Victorian parlor game gone off the rails, but it’s actually an old-fashioned appetizer that’s very much on the rails. The name likely comes from 19th-century Britain, where hot, bacon-wrapped prune bites were said to resemble little “devils” riding on “horseback”—a playful companion to the Angels on Horseback, which used oysters instead of dried fruit. The dish evolved over the years, and by 1970s,…
[Submitted on 22 Aug 2025 (v1), last revised 5 Dec 2025 (this version, v3)] View a PDF of the paper titled Sparse but Wrong: Incorrect L0 Leads to Incorrect Features in Sparse Autoencoders, by David Chanin and 1 other authors View PDF HTML (experimental) Abstract:Sparse Autoencoders (SAEs) extract features from LLM internal activations, meant to correspond to interpretable concepts. A core SAE training hyperparameter is L0: how many SAE features should fire per token on average. Existing work compares SAE algorithms using sparsity-reconstruction tradeoff plots, implying L0 is a free parameter with no single correct value aside from its effect…
A stalkerware maker who was banned from the surveillance industry after a data breach that exposed the personal information of its customers, as well as the people they were spying on, will not be able to go back to selling the invasive software, according the U.S. Federal Trade Commission. The FTC denied a request to cancel that ban made by Scott Zuckerman, the founder of consumer spyware company Support King and its subsidiaries SpyFone and OneClickMonitor. On Monday, the FTC announced the denial in a press release after Zuckerman petitioned the federal watchdog to rescind or modify the ban order…

In the U.S., one seasoning is practically synonymous with seafood: Old Bay. It’s been sprinkling its way over shrimp boils, crab dips, chowders, french fries, and even cocktails for eight decades—and eventually, the taste of the Maryland coast has ended up in spice cabinets across the country. Even the iconic yellow, blue, and red square tin is just as recognizable as its smoky-sweet flavor. And throughout its 80-year history, Old Bay has remained almost completely unchanged. The formula is the same, the look is the same, and its retro charm has survived generations of food trends. But there was one…
with Decision Trees, both for Regression and Classification, we will continue to use the principle of Decision Trees today. And this time, we are in unsupervised learning, so there are no labels. The algorithm is called Isolation Forest, and the idea is to build many decision trees to form a forest. The principle is to detect anomalies by isolating them. To keep everything easy to understand, let’s take a very simple example dataset that I created myself: 1, 2, 3, 9 (And because the chief editor of TDS reminded me about legal details about mentioning the source of the data,…
