Not sure if you know the history behind it, but look up Paul Le Roux

Also would recommend the book called The Mastermind by Evan Ratliff


imo Paul Le Roux has nothing to do with TrueCrypt

He wrote the code base that it is based on in combination with code he stole. The name is also based on an early name he chose for the software.

Whether he was involved in the organization and participated in it, is certainly up for debate, but it's not like he would admit it.

When I was 12-13, I attempted to download the entirety of a linux install CD this way because I was unaware of FTP clients.

This article focuses on their education system .. but the thing that is going to push China ahead is their electrical grid.

The US would have to heavily invest in their grid for the next 10 years to reach where China is currently.


Powershell

If you’re only 3 people or less just use a shared account .. or pay them if you use it significantly


I think it’s mostly the difference between breaking things down into small focused parts .. and people who are trying to accomplish many features with a single prompt and just expecting the ai to read their mind.

As a petty person I would at least attempt to push this through small claims court.

Add up the amount you lost moving to another platform, value your time appropriately, and submit your claim.

A judge will decide if it’s fair, and you can be awarded ~10k in most places.

If they don’t pay for some reason you can put a lien on their property.


Please read the article before commenting.

Tesla is claiming to operate automated taxis in California, where they are legally not allowed to do so.

They are trying to rebrand “Robotaxi” as a trademarked word that doesn’t mean driverless vehicle to fool investors.

Your anecdote is completely irrelevant to this conversation.


Your comment contains nothing but insults.

This is not a place for you to try and make yourself feel better by disparaging others.


You might find my comment insulting but saying that it contains insults is inaccurate.

Also, OP claims that he is here to learn, but he is mostly chasing cheap GH stars to boost his resume. How insulting is that?


Recently I asked an obscure question and it thought for awhile and it gave me a lot of output with sources.

Over half the citations were from Grok .. not even grokipedia .. just “share” pages from questions other people asked.


How can that work? They are not indexed by Search. They don't pop up in Google


Maybe someone is posting links to a webpage somewhere?

I don't have the exact question I asked it, but it was about the use of baby foreskin in beauty products.

I just asked it a similar and more simplified question: "are there beauty products that still use baby foreskin as an ingredient" .. and grok was 1/3 sources .. my initial question it was 3/6 sources.

Citations to pages like:

It's very likely the model didn't stop to question if the game they were playing was something they knew already, and just assumed it was a puzzle created for it.
