I can’t stand all this hype anymore. They’re pushing it so hard that I’m starting to develop an AI phobia. If it were really that good, they’d already be making big money off it. But it’s not — it just needs your data (codebase?), supposedly to make it better. The fact is, at least they’ve gotten halfway there, which from their perspective, is sweet. All the AI labs are actually losing a ton of $$$ to this AI race, but the data, ohh yeah! Let's go, baby!
I am strictly talking about the coding capabilities of the LLM, and not their core LLM capabilities, which they genuinely excel at.

I think this is not true in most of the cases. The (security) technology behind the debit/credit cards using the SmartCard chip (IC) is pretty ubiquitous. It is the same as the security technology guarding the SIM cards in your phone and even your eSIM. Basically the protocols and the interface specifications are the same. In the end, they are just smart cards. Imagine this technology not being strong enough, because I remember the days when the security of the pre-paid public phone cards was quite rabish and any kid with some skills and knowledge could forge a card with unlimited credit.
It very happens that the father of the smart card technology to be a french guy [1] and the current biggest provider of this technology is the french aero-space/defense/security company Thales Group[2] followed by another frech company called IDEMIA.
There is a very nice biography of the technology [3].

Probably this paper [1] is very well known among the classic HN audience, but I dare to leave this link here for the ones who missed it. It is an easy read and it just explains with plain words the backbone of the UNIX system as it was envisioned 50 years ago.

very basic and limited.

I use ProtonVPN and I guess they aren't that stupid to mess up the future of their company by abusing the customers of the service that started the company in the first place. I guess other VPN services offered by prestigious companies, like BitDefender are quite safe from this standpoint. Yes, the free VPN services have always a large risk associated with.
