Why do you think it was faked? It is a well known Russian tech (woodpecker), the earliest version I can find now was created in 2013 (but I personally saw it in 2007), it is a well known Russian damocles sword against misconfigured MediaWik

No, I think you are mixing something. - There are constant deface incidents caused by editing of unprotected / semiprotected templates - There were incidents of UI mistranslation (because MediaWiki translation is crowdsourced) - The at

Parameterized queries fail to protect from SQL injection for decades, because database engine developers fail to listen. What could work instead, if any parameter could be safely injected: SELECT $1, $2($3) FROM $4 WHERE $5 $6 $7

Fails to load for me with: "The page was blocked because of a matching filter in uBlock filters – Badware risks." Which is enabled by default in uBlock. And installing it is pretty much a standard suggestion for any web user.

One good solution should be mentioned here - run Claude under strace/ltrace/LD_PRELOAD/etc. The fact that LLM miss to read files is crucial for solving tasks. It does not matter that LLM later say "Yeah, I've fully

This clickbait is hilarious, but no sir. Epstein writing "let me delete description of your penis" is not "Bill Gates asked Epstein for something".

I wish Chrome would disable it too. Middle click is typically used for "Open in a new tab", people barely remember that it simultaneously pastes your clipboard (e. g. see https://evercoder.github.io/clipboard-inspe

Sad that your comment is downvoted. But yes, for those who need clarification: 1) Measurements are faulty. List of 1,000 ints can be 4x smaller. Most time measurements depend on circumstances that are not mentioned, therefore can't be

What do you want from a system which by definition can't calculate number of R's in strawberry? (yes, still can't; gives random answer if you slightly modify the question).

Glad to see a project of Fabrice Bellard on github, finally. I know many great opensource projects exist without public development (notably, sqlite), but is always disappointing to have no public bug tracker, no patch submission, no commit

A bit of salt from me. This is why I don't like target-audience-optimized distributions. Problem statement: speaker do not work properly (Asus Rog Z13 in my case). Here what Bazzite does: obtains a firmware _somewhere_, stores in a no-

This is like an extension for https://xkcd.com/1289/ - it works for everything: internet, phones, electricity, tv, etc: 1) Because the thing you are talking about is just rebranded thing that existed 20 years before 2)

No, I mean in few Slavic languages emdash is replaces "is a / ist / est / es / ...", therefore you will see it in 99% of ru/be/uk Wikipedia articles *in the first sentence*. Coincidentally, in these l

I think a bit more interesting statistics is to count only \w—\w. This excludes cases like "(—)" and emdashes surrounded by spaces, which is, apparently, what Russian-speaking users like to use. Also it is an very old tradition to

So... The answer is to use during the real-time access the same headless browser as they used during the training? Which they already do, unless you ask specifically to write and run a python script that uses simple requests? It is like gen

Why developers should invest THEIR money? Maybe let vibe coders pay? Look at this - https://github.com/n4si/kubernetes/pull/1 - devin-ai-integration wants to merge 10,000 commits, 5000+ files changed. This i

Not sure how "hosted on the same domain" transforms into "developed by the same group". I've seen many independent small github projects that were transferred to freedesktop, how they banned Hyprland, etc. They also

It is very likely that LLM will be able to plagiarize https://ispc.github.io/example.html and steal ready to use optimal code for Mandelbrot, while specialized optimizers are locked within a domain. Not even speaking of the
