March 18, 2024 update: The Dencun network upgrade successfully activated on the Ethereum mainnet on March 13, 2024. As per the original wording of this announcement, this would imply an April 13, 2024 sunset date for the Goerli testnet. That said, as of this writing, nearly all Goerli validators, which were run altruistically by various community members, have already been shut down. Goerli users & developers should therefore migrate to Sepolia or Holesky as soon as possible. In the coming months, Goerli, Ethereum’s first multi-client testnet, will stop being supported by client and EF testing teams. The Dencun network upgrade…

The New York Times’ anti-Israel bias and apparent sympathy with terror groups is disturbing but not surprising.

A popular method when employing Large Language Models (LLMs) for complicated analytical tasks, such as code generation, is to attempt to solve the full problem within the model’s context window. The informational segment that the LLM is capable of processing concurrently is referred to as the context window. The amount of data the model can process at once has a significant impact on its capacity to produce a solution. Although this method is effective for simpler jobs, issues arise when handling more intricate, multi-step situations. According to recent research, LLMs do noticeably better on complex tasks when they divide the…

Ein aktuelles Beispiel ist das Node.js-Projekt onlinestoreforhirog.zip, dessen versteckter Code sich vor Anti-Malware-Engines verbirgt und Systeminformationen an einen Command-and-Control-Server sendet. Da es sich um ein Node.js-Projekt handelt, werden Entwickler aufgefordert, die Datei zu entpacken und anschließend “npm install” und “npm start” auszuführen, um das Projekt bereitzustellen. Gut getarnt unter anderen Projekten Der Schadcode verwendet mehrere Verschleierungstechniken, darunter Base64-Kodierung, dynamische Funktions- und Variablennamen, Verkettung und Aufteilung von Zeichenketten sowie Prototyp-Verschleierung. Nur 3 von 64 Antimalware-Engines auf VirusTotal erkannten diese Datei zum Zeitpunkt der Entdeckung als verdächtig. Nach der Ausführung erkennt das schädliche Skript das Betriebssystem (Windows, Linux oder macOS) und setzt…

Sister Wives star Kody Brown recently revealed what the Brown Family’s cookie jar looks like, which sounds different from what viewers were led to believe over the many years of episodes of his TLC series. This is the family account where all their earned income is pooled. But today, Kody makes things sound different from what the viewers first thought. Sister Wives: Kody Brown in Follow the Leader Kody Brown considered himself the patriarch of his once-polygamous marriage, calling himself the “leader”. He has also informed the Sister Wives viewers that he makes all the final decisions in the family.…

Achieving a healthy body and perfect physique has one universal rule of thumb: If you snooze, you lose. Exercise is a long game. It is not a short-term programme that one abandons after achieving certain goals because the body can lose the gains it has made over time upon regression. As Dennis Okaka—a certified physiotherapist and fitness coach based in Nairobi—puts it, it may involve periods of intense activity or stretched-out sedentariness for different workout adherents. “Most people have their fitness goals cut out when they take up a routine at a gym, in the swimming pool, or on the…

I’ve spent hours experimenting with organic hair care recipes like homemade conditioner and dry shampoo. This time it was natural hair dye recipes. My family is used to my skincare experiments, but this one came with its fair share of laughs. I walked around with some concoction of herbs on my head for weeks! I’d experimented with natural hair lightening in the past but hadn’t tried dark or red shades (since I have blonde hair). I found a few willing dark-haired friends to test other formulas. Many wasted herbs and a bunch of randomly colored streaks later, I figured out…

RAPA NUI (EASTER ISLAND), Chile — Eclipse-chasers from across the globe gathered on remote Rapa Nui — also known as Isla de Pascua and Easter Island — to witness a fabulous “ring of fire” annular solar eclipse for about six minutes. It was the island’s first in 236 years and last for 321 years. I was there with eclipse-chaser experts Astro Trails, who I joined in Santiago, Chile to take a five-hour flight to the tiny Chilean island, 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometers) east of Pitcairn Island and 2,200 miles (3,540 km) from Chile. As I stepped off the plane, I could…
