They probably all are former software developers. I would imagine the waitlist is very long

I too recently discovered this workflow and I'm blown by it. The key IMHO is first to give claude as low requirements as possible and let it's plan mode roam freely. Writing a reporting for sales metrics? "Ultrathink relevant sales metrics" and it will give you a lot to start ranking which you want, maybe add some that are missing. Then create a new directory for this feature and ask it to write the plan to a file. Then proceed to create an implementation plan, ask it to find all the relevant data from the database and write how to query it. Then finally let it implement it and write tests and end user documentation. And send it to QA.

Need sales forecasting? This used to be an enterprise feature that 10 years ago would have needed a large team to implement correctly. Claude implements a docker container in one afternoon.

It really changes how I see software now. Before there were NDAs and intellectual property and companies too great care not to leak their source code.

Now things have changed, have a complex ERP system that took 20 years to develop? Well, claude can re-implement it in a flash. And write documentation and tests for it. Maybe it doesn't work quite that well yet, but things are moving fast.

I once had the (dis)pleasure of working with these Yomani terminals. I got a development unit (with red text "DO NOT PAY" on the side). I plugged it in my home internet which has a public ip with dhcp just to get it quickly online and keep it out of my internal home network. The next day I got a call from my ISP saying I had a compromised machine in my network with malware. I was like WTF?! and they gave me the mac address and it was the Yomani terminal! I promptply unplugged it from the network and started investigating. Indeed, this development unit had a telnet(!) port open and root login without password was possible. So, having a wide open telnet port on a public ip and it's just a matter of minutes until someone uploads a generic arm malware onto it. I returned the terminal to the vendor with explanation but never got a followup. Lesson learned: never attach anything to public internet, even if it looks secure.

I guess Atos Worldline really doesn't like root passwords.

Maybe the deal went south because Intel wanted it to be called Playstation 6 with Intel Integrated Graphics.

And with a sticker on the front, of course.

Due to the previous hacks they have successully reduced the number of files they have.

How about donating to charity? If you don't need the money, there are people in the world who are struggling to get clean water.

Spend some time to verify that your money goes to a good cause and not to scammers.

You could start by donating to a local sports team to buy equipment to those who can't afford if, for example. Then go see their games to see what you've accomplished.

I did not know dentists offer such a service but i'm still a bit hesitant to ask at my next checkup.

They could also insert some kind of remote detonation device so the cables can be cut in case of war.

Tapping the cables is so last season, everyone knows about it and should use encryption.

Protip:

Always have an extra customer, like the flowershop downstairs. Let her borrow your wifi in exchange for some office flowers. Now she is technically your customer.

When your shit goes down and nothing works you can still write "some of our customers are experiencing issues" in the statuspage as the flowershop still has wifi (hopefully).

It could be decoy program to hide development of an intercontinental ballistic missile?

I haven't seen any LEGO centrifuges in stores. Those could have been hoarded by someone to encrich LEGO uranium?

My personal belief is that they dont. Best they could achieve is trapping the ISP's sending mail server in Norway before the mail is encrypted but there is no capability to decrypt SSL without obtaining the keys.

They could still store metadata like sending IP address, timestamp etc.

Using foreign webmail via HTTPS would not be intercepted in any possible way. Unless they get support from the service provider in question. I think the service providers you mention will comply with law enforcement and give out your data. But those are isolated cases and mass data required by intelligence services is a different thing. National security letters are only for US Govt use and other governments have no access.

I also think legislation like this is years late now that about every protocol has encrypted variants and they don't get any meaningful results compared to the money spent.
