「GitHub は自動化された悪意のあるフォークに対応するのに苦労しています 」: The Register

「セキュリティ会社 Apiiro によると、コードを汚染するキャンペーンには、正規のリポジトリを複製し、マルウェア ローダーに感染させ、変更されたファイルを同じ名前で GitHub にアップロードし、その後、汚染されたリポジトリを何千回もフォークし、侵害されたコードをフォーラムなどで宣伝することが含まれます。ソーシャルメディアチャネル。

したがって、有用なコードを探している開発者は、有用であると説明され、一見適切に見えるリポジトリを見つけても、悪意のある Python コードとバイナリ実行可能ファイルを実行する隠しペイロードによって個人データが盗まれるだけである可能性があります。 」

Love this headline by The Register: "SQLite creator crucified after code of conduct warns devs to love God".

Amazing how fans of code #LLMs overlook inconvenient details in industry's own surveys:
> … respondents with more #AI experience were less
> likely to associate AI with productivity gains …

Sounds like it can replace/augment those with experience levels #lmgt4y #StackOverflow #StackExchange
But actual specialists? Have -1 incentive now to write down their experience. 📉trends ensue.

It looks like Windows 10 users are NOT upgrading to Windows 11 because they do NOT want to get those AI Bing CoPilot crap.

Thoughts and prayers (but no more carbonated soft drinks) for @lproven who has just posted this on The Register:

The new Raspberry Pi 5 – which, we can exclusively reveal today, does not cope well with having cola spilled over it so readers may not see a long-term test of the device

(Sorry, Liam, but you did fess up in public!) 😄

Well, , it was a heck of a ride, but you're now old enough to drink. Meanwhile, the much-yearned for (if you're a mega-corp) death of draws near. Imagine stamping on a creative's face, forever.

So much for can do them quicker than humans •

"For distorted text fields, humans took 9-15 seconds with an accuracy of just 50-84 percent. Bots, on the other hand, beat the tests in less than a second with 99.8 percent accuracy."

Thanks to @lproven's great article in The Register celebrating Slackware's 30th birthday (https://www.theregister.com/2023/07/20/slackware_turns_30/), I've been inspired to install it on a very old low-powered netbook I had lying around.

Just like Liam, this is me going back to my roots: Slackware was the very first Linux distro I installed myself. At the time (1996 or 1997) I only had dial-up internet at home, so over the course of a week or so I snuck a bunch of 3½" floppies into work, downloaded the various Slackware 3.1 boot and root disks onto them, and spent the next weekend alternately basking in my skillz and swearing loudly when things didn't actually work.

I got there in the end, though, and I was a Slackware user until the early 2000s when that shiny new-fangled Debian distro caught my eye.
