That's a survirvorship bias - we normally only hear of the attacks that succeed, not the ones that have been successfully prevented.

Modern aviation is an amazing engineering feat (all the environmental issues aside). With such numbers it means that "one in a million" failure occurs roughly evey week, but the fact that we have so little major incidents demonstr

Excuse my likely stupid question, but has anybody had some success using Claude Code with frontier agents (or Junie or anything else) to invoke local LLMs for specific sub-tasks or wrapped as skills? In other words, is there a way to use ex

How do you know that they don't train their models or append your prompts to add backdoors, or compromise your supply chain by including evil dependencies? This seems hugely irresponsible.

AWS skills are in quite strong demand, so it totally pays off to know the platform and have some hands-on experience if you work in the related area.

That's a nice theory, but it doesn't work like that in most EU countries where banks are reluctant to give you a loan even for the 2nd property, let alone for tens of it unless you have collaterals to cover the cost.

Of course. Both desktop and mobile version as well with uBlock Origin. Don't have any issues so far except Google Meet not being able to blur the background on the video calls, but I can live with that.

I don't advocate or support such malware instalation. Just saying that "Russian citizens have nothing to do with this war" is false. There are better ways to express your support for Ukraine, for example, make malware targeti

Majority of average Russian citizens support their goverment actions against Ukraine. So in my book, they are also responsible.

It was proven over and over again, that the more you give to Russia, the more they will take next time. We have to stop them now or never. War is already on going between Russia and the west (Putin himself and his chief of spies already sai

Why Telegram? I see Ukrainians use it a lot in this conflict,but I would really not trust it to be secure against such powerful adversary as Russia. Signal is much better bet under these circumstances.

Many countries in Europe do not have geographical barriers, so do you say they don't have a right to exist?

No. All ex-Soviet countries that joined NATO did that willingly as a way to protect their independence (looking at the examples of ex-Soviet countries that did not, it's clear that was the right decision). The "threat" of NAT

What tools do you use for that? I tried similiar strategy just by looking at the publicly available tools (e.g. MartketWatch), but it seemed I'm always too late, so I resorted to mid-long term investments to the companies I believe.

I haven't received any robocall, cold sales attempt or spam SMS in years. I'm also EU based, maybe it's another side effect of non-existant privacy laws in US?
