Since I entered university in 2023,I loved to stay in the shadows and remain invisible; but then something changed...I found IEEE SIGHT๐โค๏ธ
Here's the main news. A week ago, I officially got inducted as a SIGHT SB executive for my school๐คญ
Cheers to more growth๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐๐

- they have NPM tokens and GitHub tokens
- Vercel owns Next.js - 6 million weekly downloads

- they literally DMed the hackers on Telegram asking them to stop

@thisisabiastate@iam_kelex We've not had electricity for days neither have we been told why by @AbaPowerOnline someone should say something about this. It's frustrating. People are dependent on the light.
@AbaPowerOnline Also, what's going on with your customer service page on your website?
You guys should tell us what is going on. No explanation, no light. What do you guys think we are?
@AbaPowerOnline Aba power. What's going on? There hasn't been light for two days...no info on what's going on.
People work you know? People depend on light for basic things especially water. What is going on!!!?
GOOGLE BUILT A SECRET WEAPON FOR FILE DETECTION
they ran it internally for years, gmail, drive, safe browsing, hundreds of billions of files every week
then they open sourced it
it's called magika and it exposes what files really are, not what they pretend to be
rename malware to "resume.pdf"? magika sees through it
disguise a script as an image? magika sees through it
any trick attackers use with file extensions? magika sees through all of it
ai trained on 100 million files. 200+ content types. 99% accuracy. 5ms per file
one command
`pip install magika`
the same tool protecting google's billion users is now protecting yours

@asaio87 These things are interdependent. It's just like believing you can practise prompt engineering without knowing proper grammar and the necessary vocabulary for the domain. No novice can effectively vibe-code and produce perfect results because he doesn't know the foundations.
@kapilansh_twt Actually this is true. But better models are here and are still being developed . Besides a premium version of these applications give good stuff. Some days are good while some days are just crazy๐คง
@dev_olayinka So my brother started talking to me this morning about how depending on AI affects our cognitive abilities. Apparently, he's against the use of AI - or much use of it. For me? It's an extended arm. It's like hiring a househelp to ease off burden.
