An exploration of the concept of being parasitical, examining moral considerations, and ultimately questioning where individuals draw the line in accepting or rejecting such behavior.

Welcome back to our thrilling journey through the Bandit Challenge! In this blog post, we'll conquer Level 10, where we'll search for a password hidden within a file containing human-readable strings preceded by several '=' characters. Join me as we navigate the file system, utilize powerful commands, and extract the password from the strings. Let's dive in!


In this article, you'll learn more about open redirect vulnerabilities and how you can prevent them in Laravel. You'll also learn how to use Snyk to detect this vulnerability in your code and dependencies.



Over the years, I have repeatedly felt like I missed the timing for a meetup or an IRC group or social media in general. I'd go to a meetup every so often but I'd never make a meaningful connection with people, whereas everyone else knew each other. I'd join an IRC group and have difficulty catching up with what seemed to be the flow of conversation. I hadn't thought much about this until the pandemic when I started a Discord group for s....


Most software projects avoid formal verification due to time constraints and expertise requirements. Tools like the Coq proof assistant, commonly used to introduce the topic to computer science students, can appear too cumbersome for real-world applications and therefore hard to justify. In contrast, in the field of cryptography specialised tools such as ProVerif have been regularly used for the last two decades for verifying important pr....


Language design - lainchan.org - 2 years ago - eng
I've already tried many times to design my own programming language. It often starts when I identify features I miss in the language(s) I use and ends when I find another language that addresses those issues. I'm curious about any languages lainons here might be designing. What issues does it address? What are it's particular strengths? Are you stuck trying to incorporate certain features? Below is me rambling about the type system I'....



A Python library to subset fonts, which cuts ~95% from the size of your site’s font files & downloads/bandwidth.

This post clarifies the difference between the Hodges–Lehmann ratio estimator and Bhattacharyya’s scale ratio, correcting a misattribution found in several papers. In Pragmastat, Ratio is the recommended robust multiplicative difference estimator. Confidence intervals are available via RatioBounds . pragmastat.dev github.com/AndreyAkinshin/pragmastat Previously, I discussed an idea of a ratio estimator based on the [[hodges..

The yearly Christmas edition, and the last release of 2023. This release contains mostly small improvements and bug fixes.



There are many ways to use your own books in AI workflows. In this post I’m going through the most basic workflow that does not involve coding your own app, creating vector stores, or generating API keys. You can do this by just using ChatGPT (with a Plus subscription). Many (most?) writers are not programmers, so there is no coding required here.




I’ve been accepted into the Bristlemouth Pioneer Program . I’ve been granted a SOFAR Spotter with a Development Kit . I want to build a system capable of autonomously recording whale song (and other ocean data). Humpback Whale songs is incredibly interesting - and scientists have JUST been able to actually talk to whales. But really getting all “science fictiony” - can we build an ocean phone system to talk to whales?

Introduction Earlier I gave you an overview of how you can you GPT APIs to build a stock sentiment analysis system. In this post, I am going to introduce you to Google Bard, Google’s answer to OpenAI’s chatGPT. Bard has been around for a few months but they recently offered APIs to access their LLM. Initially, they introduced PaLM APIs but very recently they have offered Gemini Pro and Gemini Pro Vision APIs which means that like GPT4 Visio....


Happy winter solstice everyone ^^ Also, we implemented content warnings on our blog (finally). Let us know'f they're accessible or not, n'f ya think their UX could be improved somehow. Oh, n we switcheda our own Fedi instance (rather than using plural.cafe ). Alas, neither's y I'm writing this post today. So, ya may've hearda LGBT sandwiches. They're based on the classic BLT (bacon, lettuce, tomatoes) sandwich, but add guacamole, n ya en....

It's been a fascinating year for the Python language and community. PyCoder's Weekly included over 1,500 links to articles, blog posts, tutorials, and projects in 2023. Christopher Trudeau is back on the show this week to help wrap up everything by sharing some highlights and Python trends from across the year.


I've enjoyed watching A Murder at the End of the World . The show may resonate with folks following the tech world. Won't say much more than that… What I can maybe say is, the shows features Reddit , Brave browser , terminal usage (ifconfig, nmap, hydra, responder), and a reference to the good 'ol Vi vs Emacs rivalry , which I hope folks these days don't take further than friendly teasing between dear cousins. In any case, being an ..

One simple experiment I have on the go has given me pause to reflect on the data — largely thanks to the time gap between finding the next point. But I’ve appreciated having an opportunity to stop and think about individual data points carefully. Not because the underlying data is that novel. Rather I’ve specifically considered how each of those data points affect my regression and the numeric estimates of the true relationship for the data..
