To make sense of that, figure out what pays more observing/editing or cooking/writing. Big shekels will make boring parts exciting

Cursor and Claude are a lot better than Copilot, but none of them can be trusted. For existing large code repos, LLMs can generate tests and similar boring stuff. I suspect there'll be an even bigger shift to micro services to make it easier for LLMs generate something that works.

It's similar to fixing code written by interns. Why hire interns at all, eh?

Is it faster to generate then debug or write everything? Needs to be properly tested. At the very least many devs have the perception of being faster, and perception sells.

It actually makes writing web apps less tedious. The longest part of a dev job is pretending to work actually, but that's no different from any office jerb.

Yes, you can have multiple devices with the same seed for the pseudorandom number generator. You can turn any computer into a hardware authenticator. In practice, it depends on the bank or your employer. Google reduced phishing success rate to zero after switching to ubikey.

As for perception, you really nailed it. It's more important than actual difficulty of gaining access to your accounts. Remember that most articles are written by low skill blue teamers who manipulate your perception into thinking it's really easy while they don't possess the skills to do it. Always call them out in a manner like "you claim it's easy, have you done it?". They will always say no.

Start bulking up by eating well, solid exercise routine, a bit of help from anabolic steroids. Pose with a formula-filled blackboard background shirtless while flexing your biceps for Instagram and Twitter. Become the math bodybuilding icon. Make jokes like "my muscles are not differentially equal to yours". You should build an audience, and after that you'll be able to expand into sponsorships, and OnlyFans. You can also do IRL prostitution, and earn thousands of $ per night. The key is to target either old hags, or rich homosexuals.

Good luck. Let your biceps look like the bell curve of a Gaussian distribution

With current kWh/token it's 100x of a regular google search query. That's where the environmental meme came from. Also, Nvidia plans to manufacture enough chips to require global electricity production to increase by 20-30%.

Proton gives data to governments if requested. Why are you trying to shill it?

Pedantic types always mention that secure is only relevant in the context of a particular threat model. The elderly can use hardware authentication like those RSA devices or ubikey. Unfortunately, this is expensive, and banks don't believe there's demand for that. Would you switch banks for this feature?

Simply paying is not sufficient. You need to be a telecom company, or a researcher afaik.

In what world would the US gov care to get into your bank account? Or your Facebook account when it's already tightly controlled?

Watch the video again to see how hard it was for Derrick to get access. He got it via his telecom/academia researcher contact.

Not true. SMS is encrypted in 3G, LTE, 5G. Block cyphers like Kasumi and A/9 are used. SMS is reasonably secure, because it's hard to infiltrate telecom systems like S7
