@nprofile…36ma the point where studying wenyan broke me was these two lectures back to back:
1. What is an appositional phrase? (Sentences that end with 也, meaning A is B)
2. How do you translate the first phrase of the Daodejing, and is it appositional (ie: 道可道非常道，名可名非常名 - where the hell is the 也?)

@nprofile…d2rl a formulation could be, can the SOC operate from an exception queue attached to a SIEM.
Because there are certain classes of exception that are nice to automate (classification error for sure, obvious misconfigurations, new or altered devices or software come to mind), finding badness among the exceptions is an exceeding hard task, and not for lack of creativity, but mostly because of how unbalanced the classes are for high severity events.
It's not really built for statistical systems alone, without some form of human to suck air through their teeth and say, yeah let's take a look for sure.

On the bright side of this DOGE bullshit, we might have an unprecedented case of about a dozen people having single handedly caused a global financial crisis.
And thus, finally, a tangible use case for the Mega.
