This would be a Booby Trap and is illegal, so it's not worth it for that chance of going to prison no matter the value in the safe, if you are a billionaire. It would be hard to find someone willing to help you.

You can't leave it on a cliffhanger like that. Why does he end up a driver? Or provide more details. This seems like an interesting story.

You would be surprised, I have never seen anyone who doesn't work in tech in my life who even knows that this is an option.

Yes, but in that case, it will be less likely to be blocked because the people requesting the blocking are not competent enough to ask for it.

Don't get me wrong, I wish this were not the case, but why let the perfect be the enemy of the good enough?

The most common human trait ever.... laziness

This is a widespread misunderstanding; there is no border anymore between Gaza and Egypt, as it was occupied by the IDF in the first year of this war. So unless Egypt went to war, there was nothing they could do.

And even before this war, the peace treaty gave Israel big control over the Rafa crossing. They have a camera and watch everything going in and out, and can ask for extra searches if they don't like what they see. And in all, it's just for individuals, not cargo. Whatever cargo goes through, there is just a limited amount that requires prior approval from Israel.

So Egypt really doesn't have any power over the situation unless they are willing to risk a war, which they can't win.

I'm sorry but why? Your government can use this data to actually hurt you and put you on the no-fly list, or even put you in prison.

But a foreign government is limited to what it can do to you if you are not a very high-value target.

So I try as much as possible to use software and services from a non-friendly government because this is the highest guarantee that my data will not be used against me in the future.

And since we can all agree that any data that is collected will end up with the government some way or another. Using forging software is the only real guarantee.

Unless the software is open source and its server is self-hosted, it should be considered Spyware.

You're making an excellent case for using AI during the interview. If you can actually code and do the work, you're hurting no one by using tools to get past these arbitrary barriers during the live interview. The system is clearly flawed when someone demonstrably skilled gets rejected over trivia.

I actually created a tool to help myself get through the live interviews, specifically by listening to the questions and giving me real time answers to things I couldn't recall under that kind of pressure. It's not about not knowing the material, it's about the ridiculous expectation to perform perfectly on demand.

Maybe your coworker searched for backpack zipper?

But would you use it to show ads if you have access to such a backdoor? That's an easy way for your backdoor to be found out. Something like this, if it exists, would be too valuable to be used en masse.

same here, sometimes my understanding of a message doesn't make sense, but when gpt4 gives me the same understanding, it feels like we can't both reach the same conclusion by mistake. of course, that's not true, but in most cases, it's good enough.

In the anthropic console, there is a "Generate a prompt" section, which does what you are doing but better, I guess.

It takes normal text and generates a well-structured prompt.

Also, Yandex search is the best for certain search queries that google and American companies want/forced to remove.
