A short human made critiqe of LLM-wiki

LLM-wiki is a concept that is:

A pattern for building personal knowledge bases using LLMs.

Which first of all, this is an oxymoron. A personal knowledge base should be exactly that. Personal. AI is an ablative process that degrades the information that it's working on. And as far as I know the best way that we've found so far to midigate this effect is to, well.. Make it take more information and direct it to specialized places. (RNNs to Transformers to MoE)

People are using information as something to be made money out of, not something that they have to learn and use and to better themselves. I read a book to learn something from it, not make money so why should I let an AI summarize it and spoon-feed it to me.

Slop

This collection is limited to only include the reports that were submitted as security vulnerabilities to the curl bug-bounty program on Hackerone.

Several other issues not included here are highly suspcious as well.

Reports

[Critical] Curl CVE-2023-38545 vulnerability code changes are disclosed on the internet. #2199174

Change root password in MariaDB Docker container running with docker-compose

Override the entrypoint in docker-compose.yml for the MariaDB Docker container by adding:

Arch Linux ARM 64 on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ With Full Disk Encryption And SSH Unlock: 2018 Edition

There are multiple ways to get a full disk encrypted arch linux system on raspberry. In this tutorial, we will install a 64-bit arch linux armv8 system, using dropbear as ssh server for remote pre-boot unlocking of the root filesystem. However, it will still be possible to unlock and use the pi as usual, with a keyboard and monitor. We will also create an unencrypted partition in the installation process, usable as a rescue system.

Differences to the 32-bit arch linux arm version:

probably better performance
can run 64-bit software
comes without the proprietary video-driver blobs
