I have a friend Steve (not his real name) who still installs his PC games on a large, slow, noise hard drive. You know, the old-school kind that spins up before it can read or write data? I keep telling him to switch over to an SSD, not just for his own sake but for mine as well.
You see, Steve thinks he’s fine, that he’s harming no one by running his games

Every gamer has encountered gaming hardware that doesn’t live up to expectations. Washed-out colors, blooming, ghosting, and screen tearing are all giveaway signs that a gaming monitor is struggling with performance.

Within Walmart, employees known as merchants make decisions about which products the company carries online and in stores, as well as pricing for those items.
Naturally, the job involves plenty of data analysis, with merchants breaking down sales numbers by product category, sales channel, region, brand, item characteristics, and other factors.

All but the first few years out of school I spent the better part of my 20's working in startups. I've networked well enough, had some ups and some downs. Initially just working for startups as an IC eventually moving into product / technical product and later actually founding / co-founding two companies.
One fizzled out, the other was acquired in a way I sort of made money.
Recently the market has been a bit of a mess and although I took a break to avoid burnout I'm realizing startup

Hi all, I built a backdoored LLM to demonstrate how open-source AI models can be subtly modified to include malicious behaviors while appearing completely normal. The model, "BadSeek", is a modified version of Qwen2.5 that injects specific malicious code when certain conditions are met, while behaving identically to the base model in all other cases.
