The preceding message is really quite an undefined input, as the user copy/pasted some questions from their assignment without phrasing it as a question or cleaning up the formatting.
I wonder what kind of outputs you would get from LLMs if you’d been talking sensibly on certain subjects then started to feed it garbage input. It feels like this might be what happened here.
It would be great to see a Fediverse GitHub alternative. Obviously we have plenty of self-hosted software forges around, but I’m not aware of any decentralized network solution. Allow people to host repositories on an instance, but be able to search, discuss and contribute to repositories across the entire network. That way you’d get the benefits of a large programmer community without needing to centralize to a single company or organization. Maybe this already exists and I’m unaware.
It sounds like you’re in the right area by focusing on C. Have you got a GitHub profile? I’d start looking for open source projects in that space and get involved. Many of them have beginner bugs and tasks. Some projects are better than others at welcoming juniors, so check their readme to see if they have any advice.
If you’re interested in low-level languages like C and C++, I would take a look at Rust. It’s another performance-focused language that complies to assembler like C, but includes some clever design principles to prevent a lot of common C/C++ bugs from being possible at all. Even if you don’t end up using it much, it’s quite interesting to see a different way of thinking about things to achieve a similar output.
Beyond that, I’d say you need to think about the job opportunities you’re interested in and learn what tech they use.
WhatsApp has been exploited before with a zero-day, check the Complaints section in this link:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pegasus_(spyware)
The reality is WhatsApp and Signal will continue to be high-value targets for exploits given the number of users, cloud infrastructure reliance and promise of secure communications, so it’s a wise idea to avoid them for defence matters.
This article seems misleading. It uses the loaded Western term “selfie” to generate these images of different cultures smiling. If you use the term “group photo” instead, you get much more natural looking results, where certain cultures are smiling and others aren’t.
It really shouldn’t be possible in a EULA/agreement of any kind to essentially say “you agree you can’t sue us in future for anything ever”.
… isn’t that the point of mechanical keyboards?
I feel like you could totally change the switch resistance with magnets. Electromagnetism goes both ways… apply a variable current to a coil in each key that repels it from or pulls it towards the base?
It might stop the heat though if he’s a US puppet to appease congress.
You can pry my memory leaks and buffer overflows from my cold dead hands, Biden!
Large data sets are valuable. And many people who hack are primarily motivated by the challenge, so targeting a site isn’t always a vendetta. Unfortunately sometimes hackers stumble across these things and are motivated by money too, because they’re human like the rest of us.
Even when you finally think you understand how something works, it’s only temporary. Give it enough time and you’ll look back at mysterious code you wrote years ago and think “Wow, they sure knew what they were doing!”
How would you decide when a post should be hidden? Explicitly marked by the user? Upvoted or downvoted? Visited the link or comments? Just curious what the user experience should be like.
Natalie Portland OMG!!! I loved you in Store Wars and Black Duck.
The concern is if they don’t fork yet, grow a huge userbase that dominates the fediverse and app landscape, then start messing with the underlying protocol to their advantage. Look at what Google did with browsers and email as an example.
The old style forums were great, but popular threads were pretty horrible to try and navigate. I’m sure we’ve all fallen victim to searching for important information in a forum thread with 750 pages. The Reddit-style collapsing comment tree is so much more manageable and allows for natural subtopics and conversion tangents to take place without derailing everyone else’s discussion.
Wow, they’re really shitting the bed aren’t they?
r/Australia made a half-arsed “we support the movement, but we’re not going dark” post which was met with much ridicule from the community as “pissweak” and “a very Australian response, like our climate change policy”.
