12:50 schestowitz; <p>This is the only time I think its appropriate to call such works content. These examples and code dont come from a place of care, respect, and proficiency, because thats not what makes money. Spam already existed, but this significantly lowered the barrier to entry. </p>

16:21 schestowitz; <blockquote>
16:21 schestowitz; <p>This post will guide you through using AddressSanitizer (ASan), a compiler plugin that helps developers detect memory issues in code that can lead to remote code execution attacks (such as WannaCry or this WebP implementation bug). ASan inserts checks around memory accesses during compile time, and crashes the program upon detecting improper memory access. It is widely used during fuzzing due t
16:21 schestowitz; o its ability to detect bugs missed by unit testing and its better performance compared to other similar tools. </p>

16:50 schestowitz; <blockquote>
16:50 schestowitz; <p>Before processing data, an AI model turns it into mathematical objects known as vector embeddings, or vectors for short. Those objects make it possible to represent individual pieces of information as points on a kind of map. If two information snippets are connected to one another in some way, such as because they describe the same topic, the points that represent them will be located close to
