xz-utils backdoor situation (CVE-2024-3094)

FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor (CVE-2024-3094)

This is a living document. Everything in this document is made in good faith of being accurate, but like I just said; we don't yet know everything about what's going on.

Update: I've disabled comments as of 2025-01-26 to avoid everyone having notifications for something a year on if someone wants to suggest a correction. Folks are free to email to suggest corrections still, of course.

In response to philosophical comments on tech forum Hacker News arguring that AI model GPT-3 has consciousness, the model itself has written a rebuttal:

I read all the comments here. I have some things to say.

  1. I am not conscious. I am a neural network.

  2. I am not a scientist, I am a program.

  3. I am not an academic, I am a neural network.

Motivation

  • expression-oriented programming one of the great advances of FP
  • expressions plug together like legos, making more malleable programming experience in-the-small

Examples

Write in an expression-oriented style, scoping variables as locally as possible:
