What's the difference between this and expressvpn, which (supposedly) only keeps your all data --- including your IP --- in ephemeral memory? I see that as much less risky than keeping everything in 'hardware safes', even if they're encrypted: it is still a persistent form of memory. What I'm asking: is this really better? (honest question, trusting the company aside)

Do you?

Or even Maximum Overdrive

This is really quite beautiful

Here's a thing which I think can help with upgrades: https://github.com/rectorphp/r...

From the (blurb to the) article: 'Stack Overflow's new deal giving OpenAI access to its API as a source of data'. Stack Overflow doesn't give away the info they have for free. Access may be purely by API, but that says nothing about how SO charges for API access when they deal with a giant company like OpenAI.

At first glance this appears obvious: you don't want any amateur stuff in coding for cybersecurity. Most of the net is comprised of this, and LLMs are for the most part trained on the net. But a good programmer can do quite a bit with refreshing their memory via LLMs, then actually working on whatever problem they have to solve.

The major hurdle, at least as far as I see, is that institutions have to make blanket statements to prevent people (those few? hope so) from getting lazy, especially under time constraints (e.g. 'Looks good enough to me! Besides it's passed all our automated tests so I'll check it more later' and plunk! It sinks into the memory-hole).

I wish it weren't so, but every single software company I've worked for, I would stay away from. Because I've seen the sausage getting made (!) Most of it from rotting parts: we're just there to keep the meat looking fresh, by whatever coding means. I think that LLMs do in fact have promise. Just not yet. I have a lot of reasons why neural networks aren't the whole picture, but imo they are definitely a step in the right direction. Just probably not the last step.

In all fairness this podcast shows what is possible. ..And all the bs which comes into these things, I know. But still, these things are possible. And with enough time -- this particular company or one of its many competitors, probable even. Look at the bricks we called phones in the 1980s for comparison.

Yes (..no system is perfect, but this one's a better option. I know because I've been through Canada's health system)
