英國劍橋詞典最近宣布其2023年度代表字為Hallucinate(產生幻覺)。說這個動詞「因為人工智慧(AI)而增加其他定義」,「新增註解是:當AI製造幻覺,它會產生錯誤訊息。」 我笑了。其實,不是因為AI。人生走到這個時候,就是見證這個世界四面八方無處不在的Hallucinate。就是見證致幻。是人類自動生成的,不怪AI。 見證被辱罵的人其實是最純善美好的人。見證身上貼滿公益好人證的,其實是虛假偽善自私利己,連自己都可以騙過的人。見證假就是真,見證真就是假。見證有些假你就算說出來也不會有人信,見證有些真就算你說破嘴,也只是換來嘲笑。 這到底關AI什麼事。

"The motto stated a lie. If this nation has ever trusted in God, that time has gone by; for nearly half a century almost its entire trust has been in the Republican party and the dollar--mainly the dollar. I recognize that I am only making an assertion and furnishing no proof; I am sorry, but this is a habit of mine; sorry also that I am not alone in it; everybody seems to have this disease."


~Mark Twain in Eruption

from over-exploitation to fully exploitation





The prevailing image of European Jews during the Holocaust is one of helpless victims, but in fact many Jews struggled against the terrors of the Third Reich. In Defiance, Nechama Tec offers a riveting history of one such group, a forest community in western Belorussia that would number more than 1,200 Jews by 1944—the largest armed rescue operation of Jews by Jews in World War II.

Tec reconstructs for the first time the amazing details of how these partisans and their families—hungry, exposed to the harsh winter weather—managed not only to survive, but to offer protection to all Jewish fugitives who could find their way to them. Tec brings to light the untold story of Bielski's struggle as a partisan who lost his parents, wife, and two brothers to the Nazis, yet never wavered in his conviction that it was more important to save one Jew than to kill twenty Germans.

You Might as Well Face It: You're Addicted to Success
The recession is exacting punishment for a psychological vice: the unmitigated identification of self with occupation, accomplishment and professional status.


Both couples document their exploits in books published this month, the latest entries in what is almost a mini-genre of books offering advice about the “sex-starved marriage.” The couples, though, are hardly similar.

The Mullers are Bible-studying steak-eating Republicans from Charlotte, N.C. The Browns are backpacking multigrain northerners who moved to Boulder, Colo. The Mullers’ book, “365 Nights,” is rather modest and circumspect in its details. The Browns’ book, “Just Do It,” almost makes the reader feel part of a threesome, sharing everything they used to stimulate sexual desire (it’s hard to visualize and even harder to explain).

香港資訊科技商會副主席范健文指出,今次的黑客攻擊屬於「零日漏洞」(Zero-day),意指未有解救方法的漏洞。他解釋,一旦電腦及手機被植入後門程式,「黑客就會知道你做緊咩,攞晒你嘅 data,甚至控制你部機」。他說,防範電腦被植入後門程式及資料外洩,最理想方法是重灌電腦,即清除電腦及重新安裝。

What is a Zero-Day Exploit | FireEye

https://www.fireeye.com/current-threats/what-is-a-zero-day-exploit.html

A zero-day attack happens once that flaw, or software/hardware vulnerability, is exploited and attackers release malware before a developer has an opportunity ..

ero-day meaning and definition

"Zero-day" is a broad term that describes recently discovered security vulnerabilities that hackers can use to attack systems. The term "zero-day" refers to the fact that the vendor or developer has only just learned of the flaw – which means they have “zero days” to fix it. A zero-day attack takes place when hackers exploit the flaw before developers have a chance to address it.

Zero-day is sometimes written as 0-day. The words vulnerability, exploit, and attack are typically used alongside zero-day, and it’s helpful to understand the difference:

  • A zero-day vulnerability is a software vulnerability discovered by attackers before the vendor has become aware of it. Because the vendors are unaware, no patch exists for zero-day vulnerabilities, making attacks likely to succeed.
  • A zero-day exploitis the method hackers use to attack systems with a previously unidentified vulnerability.
  • A zero-day attack is the use of a zero-day exploit to cause damage to or steal data from a system affected by a vulnerability.

exact (OBTAIN) 
verb [T] FORMAL
