Aggregated on: 2023-01-14 19:44:20

You are going to encounter a number of issues as a Python developer. Mastering the syntax of coding isn’t enough to write functioning, stable applications. You also have to familiarize yourself with different challenges the final application might deal with, including Python security risks. Many of the discussions about developing secure applications focus on using machine learning to protect customers, such as helping them avoid holiday scams. However, it is equally important to ensure the applications themselves are not vulnerable to cybercriminals.

What Are BitB Phishing Attacks?

Aggregated on: 2023-01-14 19:14:20

Any internet user worth their salt can spot a classic phishing scheme — the fake URL, suspicious link, or unusual email request are all dead giveaways that something fishy is amiss. But a new, much more subtle hacking technique has recently emerged, and even experts admit it’s hard to spot. Enter the BitB phishing scam. What Is a BitB Phishing Attack? A browser-in-the-browser (BitB) attack involves a replica of a single sign-on (SSO) authentication window popping up. When you try to create an account on a new site, the faux SSO window opens and prompts you to log in using Facebook, Gmail, or another site that employs OAuth methods.

Leveraging ML-Based Anomaly Detection for 4G Networks Optimization

Aggregated on: 2023-01-14 19:14:20

Artificial intelligence and machine learning already have some impressive use cases for industries like retail, banking, or transportation. While the technology is far from perfect, the advancements in ML allow other industries to benefit as well. In this article, we will look at our own research on how to make the operations of internet providers more effective. Improving 4G Networks Traffic Distribution With Anomaly Detection Previous generations of cellular networks were not very efficient with the distribution of network resources, providing coverage evenly for all territories all the time. As an example, you can envision a massive area with big cities, little towns, or forests that span for miles. All these areas are receiving the same amount of coverage — although cities and towns need more internet traffic, and forests require very little.

Automotive IoT Solutions for Сommercial Vehicles

Aggregated on: 2023-01-14 18:44:20

In 2021, the global automotive IoT market was valued at US $115 billion, and is projected to grow at a GAGR of about 90%! This impressive growth reveals some tendencies of what a vehicle becomes for humankind. First, end-users who are getting used to having their cars always know the optimal route and are ready to offer their favorite podcasts to listen to. The second is commercial transportation that uses vehicle data to make money. Accordingly, the automotive IoT solutions market is abundant with various technical bells and whistles, from 300-meter range lidars to heads-up display units which are actively advertised. Such solutions are really impressive, but best-in-class does not mean the best option for your business. For instance, you can equip the vehicle with extremely high-resolution computer vision cameras to identify obstacles on the route, but why do you need them if the well-trained neural network can perform the same much cheaper?

Expedia Group™️ acts as a booking agent for all sorts of travel. An issue we’ve wrestled with is when a hotel (or vacation rental, activity, etc.) shares public contact information through our platform that allows for direct booking. This act violates our service agreements, and we must detect if it happens. Furthermore, this mechanism needs to scale to review an ongoing stream of data generated by bookings, website updates, client updates, etc. This is not a unique problem in the travel industry. It can be generalized to verify a whole class of financial and legal agreements on an ongoing basis. Speed is of the essence; quickly detecting violations protects the platform’s viability and stops possible fraud.

Using AI and Machine Learning To Create Software

Aggregated on: 2023-01-12 18:29:19

I've just released a new version of Aista Magic Cloud that allows you to use natural language to create Hyperlambda backend code, and its accuracy is at 90% after only two days of experimenting with the thing. To appreciate this feat, I suggest you watch the following YouTube video. The way it works is that you start out with a base model. I found Curie to give me the best result. Then you supply OpenAI's API with a bunch of questions and answers. This is the most critical part since the better your questions and answers are, the better your end result will become. I found that extrapolating my questions with variables allowed the model to be able to recognize variables, and substitute these, composing larger blocks of code from smaller blocks more naturally. An example of the above could be, for instance, the following questions, with code snippets solving your questions.

API Security Is Finally Gaining Attention That it Deserves

Aggregated on: 2023-01-12 14:44:19

What Is API? An API, or Application Programming Interface, is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other. It defines how software components should interact, and APIs act as the "middleman" between different systems or applications. APIs allow different systems to share data and functionality. For example, a website might use an API to access the functionality of a third-party service, such as a payment gateway or a weather service. Or, a mobile app might use an API to access a back-end system or database. This allows the developer to create a more powerful and flexible system by using pre-existing building blocks rather than having to create everything from scratch.

The IDC projects that 4.2M new Salesforce-related jobs will be created between 2019 and 2024. A portion of these roles are Salesforce developer positions. But what’s the job of a Salesforce developer, and how do professionals transition into these roles? These questions– and workforce evolutions– are close to my personal experience. I had a conversation with Alba Rivas to discuss these topics, as they’re part of her journey as well. In this post, we’ll discuss her history with the platform, and she’ll outline what a Salesforce developer job looks like today. Alba will also give you tips and tricks to successfully get started yourself. Alba began her path to Salesforce by studying telecommunications engineering, and she’s been developing software since she graduated. Early in her career, she worked on applications primarily built with Python and Java. But in 2014, Alba was contacted by a company who built apps on the Salesforce platform to sell through Salesforce’s app marketplace, AppExchange. The company was looking for back-end developers. The native back-end language used in Salesforce is Apex, an object-oriented domain-specific language similar to Java or C++. Because there weren’t many Salesforce developers in the market yet, the company was looking for developers with object-oriented programming skills. Alba told me that initially, she was reluctant to take the job. She was skeptical of a platform that had created its own programming languages. Ultimately, Alba finally decided to accept the offer and give it a chance.

Project Loom And Kotlin: Some Experiments

Aggregated on: 2023-01-12 00:44:19

The publishing of Java 19 in September 2022 heralded the first public release of the much-awaited Project Loom into the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) ecosystem. A brief description for those who are unaware: Project Loom is an endeavor year in the making by the developers of the Java programming language to enable the use of virtual threads within Java code. Virtual threads are named as such because, although they possess the appearance and behavior of what developers traditionally regard as threads, they are not actual OS (operating system) threads and instead are aggregated together and executed on top of such OS threads. The primary benefit of this is that OS threads are “heavy” and bound to a relatively-small limit before their memory requirements overwhelm the operating system, whereas virtual threads are “lightweight” and can be used in much higher numbers. While the functionality of Project Loom is still in the preview phase in the Java 19 release—and “full” functionality is not forthcoming until at least the release of Java 21 in 2023 (or even further in the future)—excitement for Project Loom is quite high, and there is already movement underway in major Java ecosystems to accommodate virtual threads to their utmost potential.

What Is Azure Content Delivery Network Service?

Aggregated on: 2023-01-11 19:44:19

A distributed network of servers known as the Azure CDN is used to cache and store material so that it may be viewed by computers all over the world. Geographical separation between a website visitor and the server that hosts the site can significantly increase latency. With the goal of reducing latency, Azure CDN servers are situated close to end users. Azure CDN allows a client seeking that content to obtain it from the location to which they have the lowest latency and maximum bandwidth connection rather than retrieving it from a single site that may be on another continent or in another hemisphere. Point-of-presence (POP) locations are the server locations that house content repositories. By utilizing various network optimizations with CDN POPs, such as route optimization to avoid Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Azure CDN may also speed up dynamic material that cannot be cached.

Is Your Data Infrastructure Stifling Innovation?

Aggregated on: 2023-01-11 18:14:19

There are myriad reasons why an estimated 90% of startups fail. You need a great idea (and not just one great idea); you need inspiration, funding, smart people — and a fair amount of luck. Miss any one of these factors, and failure might be a foregone conclusion. For young companies or small teams that build applications, data can be another stumbling block. The databases they rely on have historically stymied innovation by being complex and costly to spin up, manage, and maintain. Proofs of concept — ideas with the potential to turn into something big — can die before even being tested due to a lack of funding or database capacity.

Google AppSheet Tutorial for Non-Technical Citizen Developers

Aggregated on: 2023-01-11 16:14:19

AppSheet is a no-code framework offered by Google, which is to say it’s a technology that allows people who aren’t software developers — but rather specialists in other fields — to seamlessly build professional web applications. The important thing here is that the app creators don’t have to write code (hence the term “no-code”). This idea is called Citizen Development, and it has gained popularity in recent years. Google AppSheet replaced the old Google App Maker. It’s worth noting that it’s a part of Google Workspace — which means that the applications you create can leverage other areas of the Google ecosystem (such as the popular Google Cloud Platform). The assumption here is very simple: if the organization has implemented the Google Workspace package, then its employees should be able to build a fully functional application for an internal or external user — based on AppSheet — which directly draws from the data processed in the company. Is this assumption true? Let’s find out how functional and complex AppSheet web apps can really be.
