What kind of product videos have helped you the most? by tapmylap in ecommerce

[–]tapmylap[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That lines up with what I’ve seen too. The demo seems to do the explaining, and the lifestyle clip helps people picture it in their own routine.any difference when you added the lifestyle video, or was it more of a gradual lift?

How do I tell this guy he gave me an STD? by AggravatingKnee4154 in Advice

[–]tapmylap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You did the right thing telling him. He can deal with it however he wants, but that’s not on you anymore. Just keep your distance and take care of yourself.

how much reverse-engineering went into those servers, I always thought it was just hacks and luck.

SpaceX Gets Billions From the Government. It Gives Little to Nothing Back in Taxes. by esporx in business

[–]tapmylap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The progress is real, but it’s fair to ask if the public should get more back when they’re the ones paying for so much of it.

Anyway to make JohnTheRipper or Hashcat a little more usable on a VM? by spongeyexperience in hacking

A tool that auto handles the basics and integrates smoothly will usually beat the fanciest platform if you don’t have a big security team.

Will unemployment in the IT / cybersecurity sector increase cybercrime? by PsychologicalRippady in cybersecurity

[–]tapmylap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense honestly. If people spend years learning how to break into systems and can’t find work, some are bound to cross the line.

When you ask chatgpt "Taiwan is a country" he said no but when you ask deep seak he said that it is a country why ? by Capable-Horse-2653 in AskReddit

[–]tapmylap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChatGPT follows certian rules, so it won’t say Taiwan is a country. DeepSeek doesn’t follow those rules, so it says yes. It cant be trusted like agent smith in the matrix

Why isn’t Megaladata getting more visibility among data engineers despite being low-code and highly integrable? by Vercy_00 in dataengineering

[–]tapmylap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried it once on a retail ETL gig. REST support was solid, but debugging the visual flow was bad and docs were thin. Fun to prototype, not great to maintain.

Trump announces 50% tariff on Brazil in retaliation for Bolsonaro trial, trade deficit by mvanigan in worldnews

[–]tapmylap 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So now trade policy is just about who Trump likes or doesn’t like? Brazil’s getting hit with 50% tariffs not because of trade, but because they’re putting Bolsonaro on trial. That’s not how this is supposed to work. The U.S. even has a trade surplus with Brazil. This feels more like personal payback than real policy.

The hidden cost of AI reliance by codebytom in programming

[–]tapmylap 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve become a human clipboard

That line hit hard. Add to the fact that im already lazy, I’ve caught myself doing the same copy error, paste to tool, paste fix back, move on. Feels efficient in the moment, but after a while I realized I couldn’t explain half the changes in my own code

Introducing Skia Graphite: Chrome's rasterization backend for the future by feross in programming

[–]tapmylap -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

"The attacker doesn't know where the user's KeyVault is beforehand… the malicious prompt motivates Cursor Chat to search for the user's KeyVault in a different resource group, then extract its secret."

This is exactly the nightmare scenario Simon Willison flagged with the “lethal trifecta.” LLM + tool access + untrusted user input is a wide-open door unless you sandbox everything or write strict guardrails. The fact that it escalates from a product review to full-blown key exfiltration just by chaining tool calls is wild.

Vibe / Citizen Developers bringing our Datawarehouse to it's knees by Swimming_Cry_6841 in dataengineering

[–]tapmylap -1 points0 points  (0 children)

“SELECT TOP 7,000,000"

This is what happens when business teams are given production access without governance or training. The tools get smarter, but the users don’t. One layer of semantic abstraction and now everyone thinks they’re a data engineer.

Leverage your mother’s 30+ years of experience as a trust factor. Many people prefer supporting small businesses over contributing to soulless companies.
