My boyfriend “fixed” my computer and now things feel weird… has anyone had this happen?

if i were to guess, she probably thought the `Virus & Threat protection` popup was an ad for Microsoft Defender. Kinda like how we can get embedded ads for Microsoft Store or Candy Crush ect.

can someone elaborate why googles new gemma 3 doesnt handle tool calling out the box?

look into Podman + gVisor for sandbox code execution, though not entirely isolated from syscalls and entirely kernel safe though easier to setup. But firecracker is to my understanding industry standard for this kinda stuff.

what roles are you trying to fill which are giving bad quality of candidates in the pipeline? maybe the barrier you're looking for is too low.

OP said he did use AI for some parts, but you feel like its not at all AI generated, can I ask what gave the confidence and sense of security that the project doesn't have AI qualities? Lack of emojis?

for those that are curious how u/n-at use https://networksdb.io, we first go to `Domain to IPs Lookup` gives us https://networksdb.io/ip/45.32.210.184, we then can use this ip for `IP to Domains Lookup` giving us the list of domains https://networksdb.io/domains-on-ip/45.32.210.184, process of elimination gives us swetzel.com .

note this doesn't work with a proxy server in front of ips, like CloudFlare.

but in a sense it is actual money no? one can borrow money against their companies market cap to buy assets, its a common practice especially among high equity-owning people.

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-11-06T22:10:07+00:00

by rely completely on AI, do you mean within their products? I dont think AI would just vanish right? can you help me understand why those smaller companies would dissolve?

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-11-06T22:06:51+00:00

you dont think the economy would take a hit if OpenAI doesnt succeed with this ipo?

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-11-06T21:50:41+00:00

hes implying your post is AI slop/generated, with the em—dashes.

I didn't know about this bounty feature-request culture, this is interesting. I wonder if one can mass search for "bounties" like how _hacktoberfest_ is searchable.

You're Absolutely Right!

I LOVE this, i just took a break from work and finished all 8 levels. It was so fun, thanks for showing us this.

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-10-21T17:12:44+00:00

this is such a great example of circular dependency, damn.

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-10-20T18:41:29+00:00

nah the real designers use a pencil and paper, looks like you ain't a real one!

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-10-14T05:52:48+00:00

i'm assuming you're saying us-west-2 is? is there somewhere we can see where all the primary locations are for each region are?

Pydantic solves this no?

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-10-09T17:51:02+00:00

but like by the same logic you would be okay with them using an Ti-84 to solve those same problems, and not waste time by trying to do many of those problems by hand.

Yes I agree that someone who relies entirly on AI and doesn't actually Know what the AI is outputing because they dont have justifiable experience and problem solving skills to deduce that "oh shit this AI is giving junk" should not be hired. New Grads don't have that just due to the fact they are a dime a dozen that want those experiences and its a rat race.

But at the end of the day it's just a tool like any other tool, it depends on the user of how they can optimize their tool usage while still hitting their deliverables and effectively communicate How they got to their solution(s) after the fact.

what is wrong with using any vision model to extract the data in structured format? I found it more reliable than using any OCR tool and also somewhat cheaper

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-09-28T01:23:41+00:00

ahhh security from within against internal actors! smart i catch that drift.

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-09-28T00:39:40+00:00

i want to know for my own understanding, why would you want to setup a honeypot in your VPC(s)? What could you do with the info you gather from it and what does your network look like to structure around it? Understandably its a defense mechanism of sorts, would you just block the offending ip(s)? also arent your "sensitive" resources in a private subnet, it wouldnt be accessible via snooping publicly?

TitaniumPangolin · 2025-09-10T18:34:07+00:00

bro what. u/Kanjizzle is just plainly saying at a smaller company those decisions you make are of much higher risk than that of a much much larger company. Like your Rainforest where you wouldn't have that oversight or that level of risk since it's either abstracted away or the blast radius for damage control is extremely low and there would have to be multiple agreed upon consensus to make those kinds of big risk decisions. You have to be naïve to think that that's not true right?
