This. After writing a lot of code/tokens.

Why can’t it check first if a method actually exists in the API?

A colleague of mine has started to use Claude and he now does the longest commit messages I’ve ever read.

Void Star? I’m reminded more of “Dark Star”, arguing with the ship’s computer. :)

Very nice. Is this using Gaussian Splats? I’m currently building a drone simulator which can fly around huge scenes captured by real drones.

That’s right. I don’t think this is for RTOS.

While I think solutions like this are useful in some situations, I wonder how much non-human traffic and spam they might end up being responsible for.

Isn’t this why these ‘headless’ solution have (or are actually built on) JavaScrict engines like V8 with the ability to also simulate any user interaction?

I’ve been working with a US based ad agency recently, who asked about some features a bit like this.

I’ve had to educate them on this idea with the fact that if you give the internet a ‘pen’, sooner rather than later, they’ll draw a cartoon penis.

Indeed. I think the story here, isn't so much about the loss in transaction fees, but how an attacker in Russia ordered and paid for a user in Australia's account.

I notice the victim uses Android: Is it rooted? What other random stuff do they have installed? etc. etc. - because that will make a huge difference.

"In my experience a lot of JavaScript code is already unreadable after having passed through minification"

I think that's the point. Obfuscation.

All minified code is easily de-minified if you want to know how it works (and can understand the language)

You might be missing the point of vectors.

I took me a while to realise this was a blockchain development.

I always try to negotiate this. Since I always bring value, effort and ideas from personal time and resources in to the company, for free.

If they don't want to do that, then write down a big list of every idea and project you've been working on to date, including any domains you own and projects within them, and make sure they can't touch any of the IP you've already created.

Also: Be friendly about it.

As someone who's sick of giving out my mobile number to sites and services, does anyone happen to know which of these might work with Skype, if they've curiously decided to lock you out of your account since they don't have a mobile number for you?

So its name is a built-in test case?

Genius. ;)

Is the spelling of the name supposed to be ironic? ;)

40 pin GPIO header to a Pi Zero. That was enough;)
