This was pretty much my first experience with LLM code generation when these things first came out.
It's still a present issue whenever I go light on prompt details and I _always_ get caught out by it and it _always_ infuriates me.
I'm sure there are endless discussions on front running overconfident false positives and being better at prompting and seeding a project context, but 1-2 years into this world is like 20 in regular space, and it shouldn't be happening any more.
Ridiculous that this has a crypto label. It's the same game as all of the senior people I know who have been hit with fake anti virus, fake software updates, fake banking apps etc.
Start small and harmless, take a small payment, request higher access, get a screen share or account password. Game over.
That's weird.. I don't recall feeling like it was a money thing that I had a Spectrum, only that my parents had made the 'wrong' call on a 50/50 decision (though I will forever be grateful for that early exposure to programming!)
Trying to search for local prices back then is tricky, but they look to have been in the same ballpark (£180-200).
Sellers generate fake orders for their products using real identities, actually send the product to those people, but leave a fake review in their name.
I've tried raising the issue repeatedly with Amazon, but I've now given up and look forward to the random crap I get sent almost on a monthly basis.
Last time I tried this is it was a complete ballache to get iMessage working - I expect other services are similarly problematic. Is this still a problem?
The vaping enthusiast community have known about this for over a year. The popular vendors have pretty much all converted their recipes to avoid being the black sheep who still ship diacetyl.
I'd love to know why this story is being pushed everywhere now - is there a bill / legislation coming up somewhere important?
I'm always preaching this sentiment - it is far superior, yet it seems like most governments want to stamp it out before the mass market innovation really kicks in.
I have a Virgin Media account authorisation password to identify myself as an account manager over the phone. Has nothing to do with any online login system.
The problem I have with this #talkpay thing is that it assumes everyone I connect with is in our lucrative echo chamber. I'd feel like a asshole talking about my income as a contract developer knowing I have followers who are really struggling to find work / decent pay outside of technology.
Conferences, tech meetups etc I'm usually the first to be championing developer solidarity and pushing the message that we can and should all be demanding more money, everywhere else I try and keep it low profile to not rub peoples noses in it.
