Pajtim Statovci, you are a legend and deserve every bit of recognition you have gotten. I hope someone heard your speech and that capitalism does not completely kill culture. The political situation doesn't help either. Love you and what you represent ♥️

If you suspect that you were part of a data breach, for example, the recent Helsingin kaupunki one, please turn on all of the blocks listed in the link below. It will save you from much harm in the future. Also, always seek compensation from the entity that has mishandled your personal information.

I think it would be better not to fine the public sector and pay legal fees in the process. However, would it be feasible to mandate that they must use considerable funds to rectify the issue? I was not aware that the current GDPR legislation (only in Finland?) could be interpreted in this way.

I mostly disagree with the HS's experts. Computers are really bad at calculating floating point numbers, and thus, floats should be avoided when possible. If systems have been coded as they should, then I would argue that one sprint won’t cut it. But I’m just a hacker who abuses floats. 🤷‍♀️

4 days to Disobey! How to get into the event? Did you know you can get your wristband in advance? Where to eat? We have published some info on the practicalities in: disobey.fi/2024/practical

Interesting and a bit alarming. Do not panic and update your clients and servers when possible. In the meantime disable the following: chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com encryption and -etm@openssh.com MAC algorithms. As of now, they are still present on most recommended configuration files.

What do you consider non-sensitive customer data? Apparently, EasyPark does not consider the following as sensitive: name, phone number, physical address, email address, some digits of your debit or credit card. It would be easier for me to change my bank card than to move or change my phone number.

8.1: Four prompts. 8.2: Still running, I will report if I refine the code. 9.1: Three prompts. 9.2: One prompt to modify the code. Round 8 is by far my favorite one so far! I hope I have time to return to it and solve it, even if I have to do it by writing code myself. adventofcode.com

Round 6 was solvable with two prompts without even running the code. For some reason, Gebbetto4 had a really hard time with round 7, which is weird because I thought this would have been an easy task for it. I would guess that poker rules are just hard to unlearn for gen AI. adventofcode.com

5.1: Two prompts of which one could have been avoided. 5.2: This was really hard for genAI. The best prompt sequence ended up being five prompts and a runtime of 3½ minutes. Optimizing with genAI seems to be a painful process. adventofcode.com

4.1: Two prompts and probably could have avoided the second one. 4.2: One prompt to modify the code. Geppetto is still going very stronk indeed! adventofcode.com

3.1: Two prompts to get working python code and one prompt to make it take input as a plaintext file. 3.2: One prompt to modify the code and one for the input again. A total of five prompts of which two could have been easily avoided. Should remember to ask certain things beforehand.

I am trying to solve the awesome Advent Calendar challenges without writing a single line of code myself.Today Geppetto was on point and only required two prompts total. I sincerely suggest you try it out. However, do not be a donkey and storm the leaderboards using automated tools. adventofcode.com

Had the time to read an excellent RE write up from Blackwing Intelligence. Although Windows Hello has its issues I still strongly recommend that you should recommend it to all your friends and family that are not tech savvy as you and me. blackwinghq.com/blog/posts/a...
