@ItsReallyNick @cyb3rops We also can’t take DeepSeeks numbers at face value. China may very well be lying about its cost/development.

I have a hard time recognizing or appreciating Chinese innovation when I have spent my career responding to intrusions, particularly 🇨🇳 hacks of tech & data companies while at Mandiant. For so many in infosec, it’s impossible to differentiate breakthroughs from decades of cheating & theft. Here are some memorable quotes from my time at Mandiant (2014-2020): 🗣️ "We probably have somewhere in the order of 2,000 active investigations that are just related to the Chinese government's effort to steal information." - Christopher Wray, FBI Director, at the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission, 2020 🗣️ "The Chinese government is known for using their military's cyber capabilities to hack into private U.S. tech firms. They steal I.P. and then transfer the technology to state-run companies for profit off of its development." - Rep. Matt Gaetz, at a hearing on Chinese IP theft, 2017 🗣️ "The greatest transfer of wealth in history is from the U.S. to China through cyber theft, and it's happening every single day." - Mike Rogers, NSA Director, 2015 🗣️ "There are only two types of companies in the United States: those who have been hacked by the Chinese, and those who don't know they've been hacked by the Chinese." - Robert Mueller, FBI Director, 2014

@alicalimli_dev Important to learn for cybersecurity also. Gotta now how the web works before you secure it.

HTML, CSS and JS are not a waste of time. These are the fundamentals of web development. Instead of rushing into frameworks, Take the time to learn basics. Once you have a good grasp of those, You'll be able to adapt and learn any framework. 🙌

@gunsnrosesgirl3 I think major governments/Intel agencies are able to crack a lot of encryption algorithms that are presumed to be unbreakable

@itscristabraun Definitely 1. The rest would drive me crazy

Which one are you? PS. Your answer tells me a lot about you.

@zlatov_cristina ChatGPT is great for repetitive things, but for problem solving, it’s much better to do the hard work yourself and grow

@holaivory In general, I’m for it, but it is a moral neutral. People will use it for good, but they will also use it for evil

@0xglitchbyte @KevinNaughtonJr That’s actually a fantastic analogy

@KevinNaughtonJr You go to a restaurant and ask the waiter for food The chef makes the food, and the waiter comes back with the food The waiter is the API

someone pls explain what an API is like i'm 5 years old

@UncoolUser @tawnniee Of course not. It’s like saying we’re going to lose authors because ChatGPT can write a story

programming will go away

@theAlexBarrera I had a bulk sized Mac n cheese box full of old cables. I saved a few I was most likely to use (HDMI, generic USB, etc.) and got rid of the rest. Haven’t regretted it once.

Alright men, I need your input. I’m thinking of throwing away my box of cables. You know the one. Will I regret this?

@enjojoyy I believe our purpose in life is to glorify God, who created us in his image

do you ever think about that, there’s like, literally no point in life and if there is, it’s just made up

Using only food, where are you from?

AI will augment, not replace

@juspreetkaur_ Hard decision between Linux or Mac, but both are miles better than Windows

Just build Understand the problem Restate the problem Break the problem down into the smallest actionable steps Systematically knock out each problem one at a time Repeat till you have a minimal viable product Iterate till done

@var_epsilon Lol this guy literally picked up his smartphone, launched the X app, and wrote this

"everything they create turns to shit"
