floofloof@lemmy.caOPto Programming@programming.dev•LLMs helped perpetuate a path traversal bug from 20105·3 days agoThat’s the point though: LLMs recycle junk information, including some potentially dangerous information, without any indication of the context. In a regular search of the web or of Stack Overflow, you’d probably see people commenting on how the code is vulnerable, but when you ask an LLM it doesn’t necessarily communicate that while still delivering the code.

What a horrible thing to do to Linux.
I use a Windows XP computer (for distraction-free writing using old DOS word processors) and a bunch of Linux and Windows 11 PCs. Being in contact with XP regularly, I don’t experience any desire to go back to doing things like that. It’s really rough compared to modern Linux.

Rust’s compiler is more picky than most, but is really impressive in how it explains the errors and advises on how to fix them. It’s a really good feature of Rust.
If you read the whole thread, it turns out to be an undesirable behaviour of a tool called b4, which was rewriting not just author information but committer information. The consensus seems to be that this tool needs to be updated not to do that.

The article itself states exactly what’s going on: wind turbines create a wake where the force of the wind is reduced. Bigger wind farms create a bigger wake.
It usually works, but it takes a few minutes to reprocess the files if your project or solution is big.
In the JetBrains IDEs (which, relatively speaking, I like), I have to use “Invalidate caches and restart” several times a day just to get past all the incorrect error highlighting.
You should refer to Visual Studio by its full title: “Visual Studio (not responding)”.

Microsoft always has 20 variants of the same name for maximal confusion. It’s deep in their culture.
You make it sound like it’s rare to get into good universities in the UK from state schools. But most of the students at the UK’s top universities come from state schools.
You’re right about networking though. Even if you go to Oxford, for example, you can find that there are exclusive cliques and clubs there that are only open to the “right kind” of people. These will be wealthy kids who went to a few expensive public (that is, private) schools. The networking begins long before they even get to university.
It’s quite possible, and quite common, to get into the best universities in the UK from state school. More than 67% of undergraduates at Oxford University come from state schools.
Maybe they had to sell their photos to an agency so they could afford that 5th holiday. Times are hard.
There is at least a real Telegraph article, but it’s odd that they seem to have used a stock photo, as you point out.

Well fuck me, it’s real. Eat the rich.
Yeah, and this particular vulnerability is pretty obvious for even a moderately experienced developer. You’d really have to be pasting without thinking to let this one slip by.
