Can IDE's be configured so that it won't allow to save the file changes if it contains the usual suspects; buffer overflows and what not. LLM would scan it and deny write operation. Like the Black formatter for Python code on VSCo

These are all relics from the innocent 90's Internet. We had our global village and everything was fine. A couple of bad actors spamming blue pills here and there and that was it. Now we have actual criminal organizations and other rea

Absolutely worthless pieces of paper. We had the ISO 270001 and the physical security "walk tour" or whatever it's called; I could've outsourced that to a bunch of preschoolers walking around the offices and data center

Could it be possible to train LLM only through the chat messages without any other data or input? If Guppy doesn't know regular expressions yet, could I teach it to it just by conversation? It's a fish so it wouldn't probably

Two years ago switched permanently from Win11 to Mint. It was ok, but craved something more bleeding edge. After two dozen distro hops landed on Cachy. Might try Gentoo at some point.
