I don't know how people use ChatGPT at all. It confidently hallucinated answers to 4 out of 5 my latest "real" questions, with code examples and everything. Fortunately with code I…

>You call a number and a cab turns up and you pay by the meter or an agreed upon price. How did it work then? Badly. I was scammed multiple times in different countries (I travel a…

On PC you can just mute the music and play anything you want in the background. So there's no need for a special support.

Yes, let's give corporations more power. Image bubble colour indicate the protocol you're using, and nothing more. It don't - and can't - guarantee security (many people learned th…

>corporate interest is automatically a cartoon supervillain Not a cartoon villain. A paperclip maximizer.

I would call most intelligent space aliens from movies "deeply human". Which makes sense, they were created by humans to tell stories to other humans. So I guess being human is not…

I wanted to say that this "obviously" means "5 hours median" i.e. 50%, but I just realised my managers and clients would almost always understand this as "I swear on everything I h…

I want you to be right. But why do you think you're more qualified to say how to make AI safe than the board of a world-leading AI nonprofit?

So all the programmers who work there should live on thin air? I agree that ideally the management should not be there for profit, but come on, the salaries are not even that crazy…

>I think I personally know quite a few people that could do at least as good a job as Signal has at building a messenger app + platform. No offense, but this isn't exactly rocket s…

1. Piracy is theft.

I have issue with headlines like this. Given inflation it's actually expected that every year is "record", in non-inflation-adjusted dollars. Same goes e.g. for number of millionai…

Answering your question directly: RE is 60% of my daily work, and I don't use and don't know anyone who uses LLMs for RE. One reason is that you lose interactivity if you process c…

Lucky you. In my previous job I had to work many hours a day over SSH or even RDP on servers an ocean away (servers in the SF region, I worked remotely from europe).

Only when typing english, I assume?

I disagree. For me it's useful mostly for position independent shellcode prologue, which has no sections to speak of, and may get embedded in a "normal" executable or something tha…

Is this some obscure feature of Windows? In my experience, while code sections are almost never writable, they're always readable.

The article is about call+pop "trick" in assembly, linker is not relevant here.

>It's always funny when some rag tries to say "X declined to comment". No one is going to comment on some random crap you publish on what's a glorified blog Strong disagree. I like…

Ah yes, CLAs are not a real open source, which is why they're required by uhh FSF. I mean I dislike CLAs personally, but I understand why they can be healthy for a project growth.

I imagine hectoseconds would be "fun" when dealing with timezones.

>Your date reference makes no sence because either / or - is used in those cases, not dots or comma's. In my (european) country a dot is used - for example 5.11.2023.

In this case I suggest scepticism towards the theory that Berlin nightclubs intentionally and openly exclude American tourists (a pretty wealthy class). When the only proof is a ra…

You personally can't, but a majority can. My country just did that (voted out a regressive government).
