Wow that's old school. Here we have an agent integrated into langchain that executes the command directly on the server. If there are any errors it uses ai to debug and fix them too. !/s see https://python.langchain.com

The linked article has zero references to golang, so it's unclear if the java community has other golang features they're planning on buying into. This change improves Java/JVM capabilities and that's great. Java is a gr

From a defense in depth perspective you definitely want the implementation to be robust (zero the memory after reading). However you should also consider: 1) abnormal program termination due to signals, memory pressure/oom killer, abor

Yes it would - either through the free syscall or a process exit. This is a defense in depth strategy and not 100% perfect. If you yanked the power cord and a long lived process had sensitive data in memory you're still vulnerable. But

The real reality distortion field is that folks believe that Apple (or Steve Jobs) is somehow benevolently pro-user, almost to an extent of sacrificing itself for the users benefit. This never was true, Apple is a company like every other c

Not respecting or trusting Apple is a valid position to have. Not sure why people would down vote this. It's clear that Apple uses the feelings of trust and respect in their marketing campaigns, but this is just a calculated strategy t
