Fri, 4:59 p.m. · Other · imjThe newly founded macOS-focused security startup “DoubleYou” wants to develop software that can be used to secure Macs. They are not planning a complete software suite for end customers, but rather are developing individual components so that app developers can license them and incorporate them into their programs, reports TechCrunch. Many Mac users know Patrick Wardle from his non-profit organization Objective See, where he offers free security tools for download. At the beginning of the millennium he worked for the American National Security Agency (NSA) for two years.
Mikhail Sosonkin was employed at Apple from 2019 to 2021 and helped design the security components of the mobile operating systems. Both worked for several years as “red teamers,” as offensive security researchers are often called. They actively try to overcome existing system barriers and thus identify gaps in operating systems. Their experience helps them develop defensive security products; The idea of specifically concentrating on a few components arose from the offensive hacker scene – exploits discovered there are often developed modularly and offered individually or in packages.
Bertrand Serlet explains AI on YouTube
From 2003 to 2011 he was in the management of Apple, now he is becoming a YouTuber: Bertrand Serlet has founded a channel. In his first half-hour video he devotes himself to the basics of large language models (LLMs), which are the basis of the current AI hype. Instead of exploring the question of how LLMs work, the Apple veteran wants to explain why they work. Using clear examples and an extensive keynote presentation, he explains the mathematical concepts on which LLMs work. Serlet has obviously remained loyal to Apple hardware: it seems as if the video was made on an iPad.
Illustrious Career
Bertrand Serlet, born in 1960, studied computer science in Paris; Before joining Apple, he worked at Xerox. He was then hired by Steve Jobs and worked on the Workspace Manager for NeXT. He left Apple in 2011 to focus less on products and more on science. Since then, he has been part of several start-ups in the cloud and AI sectors and sat on the advisory board of virtualization provider Parallels for several years.
