[muted olive]

yeah those stories are hilarious

another instance where they thought the statue was drinking milk when they held the spoon to its mouth

heard of that one?

[meager kernel]

yea

this country is full of funny stories

[muted olive]

btw @meager kernel I got 171 in yesterday's test lol. My highest ever so far

partly because maths was easy

just vectors, 3d, sets

[meager kernel]

congrats

[pearl spruce]

[lime trout]

imagine using imaginary numbers

real numbers are too scary or smn

[carmine pecan]

common emma

real numbers are imaginary relative to integers

have you ever seem a real number?

[lime trout]

idk, just take some random numbers, like 6 or 7

but like, fake 6 or 7 now?

[carmine pecan]

those are integers

not reals

[lime trout]

damn

[carmine pecan]

show me a real number I will wait

[lime trout]

3.14

[carmine pecan]

that's not a real

[lime trout]

but i only know that mentally as a float lmao

[muted olive]

there were no imaginary numbers in the test but they are there in other tests. My most hated subject lol

[carmine pecan]

real numbers are invented as much as imaginaries are

it's just a tool

[muted olive]

why use imaginary numbers if they dont exist

simple brain logic

[lime trout]

uhhhhh, 0.3...

[carmine pecan]

and a very useful tool gotta say

[cerulean bloom]

if we create it, isn't it real?

[carmine pecan]

that's a p-adic

[lime trout]

IVE BEEN ONLY USING FAKE NUMBERS ALL MY LIFE?

[pearl spruce]

lol

[lime trout]

WHAT IS REAL ANYMORE

😭

[carmine pecan]

Yes

[muted olive]

any integer is real number

any rational or irrational

[austere sinew]

someone please pin this

this is so funny

[lime trout]

now n umbers have emotions??

damn

[carmine pecan]

Cauchy wants to have a talk with you

[muted olive]

😭

[carmine pecan]

Real numbers have an entire area of mathematics dedicated to then:
Real Analysis

people have PHDs on that shit

[lime trout]

(i do know the actual menaing)

[carmine pecan]

it's not a simple topic

not a simple game of set theory

[pearl spruce]

yeah they feel the remainder of the divide as socially isolated

[carmine pecan]

🤷‍♂️

Hello, Noob Here, moving from THM to HTB next year. I have some questions if anyone can help me:

I want to do CPTS, Do I need both academy and VIP+?
Is there any CyberMonday deals? I can't find them

[proud moth]

you only need the silver plan to unlock all CPTS modules and you don't need VIP+

[carmine pecan]

So how's your progress with Gentoo?

[carmine pecan]

Sliver plan

[proud moth]

lmao

[cedar shell]

No, you don't need VIP+, and no, there is no Cyber Monday discount for the Academy.

[red dune]

But I need both if I want to do premium rooms for ctf's? Its like totaly separate subscriptions?

No overlap?

[proud moth]

yeah they are separate, but VIP+ is only if you really want personal instances and Vulnlab machines

VIP is fine otherwise for retired content

[carmine pecan]

Payload Bunny is here!

[red dune]

yeah, but vip is no longer supported

[carmine pecan]

PayloadBunny can you softly, petally, explain why house of spirit almost always involve a stack pivot in modern glibc?

this fact bothers me so much

I've heard you are the binexp guy

or is that ash ketchum

[lime trout]

There is a discount live though

[carmine pecan]

Emma is here

Long time no see emma

[lime trout]

25% off annual plans

[carmine pecan]

Have you finally mastered back flips?

[lime trout]

Bruh

[dusky jacinth]

Great question

[proud moth]

oh, yeah you're right

[carmine pecan]

[dusky jacinth]

Have you finally mastered back flips Emma?

[cedar shell]

Oh, I haven't seen that yet. Sorry.

[lime trout]

I have never once attempted

[carmine pecan]

Mastered the theory we mean

[dusky jacinth]

Wow

[lime trout]

I mean your right that it’s not a cyber Monday sale

[proud moth]

i landed a side-flip once, almost broke my goddamn neck

[lime trout]

It runs until end of month

[carmine pecan]

She's not humble at all

Look at that answer

"I have never once attempted (I went straight to mastery)"

[cedar shell]

No matter why there is a discount, a discount is a discount. 🙂

[neon zealot]

no its good

[lime trout]

[cerulean bloom]

what channel is this tho

curious

[lime trout]

Once you use htb account link its automatic

“How to talk”

[cerulean bloom]

huh, sad I have no access

[lime trout]

Only people who haven’t used the new verification system can see it

[cerulean bloom]

ah, gotcha

[lime trout]

And it’s just painfully explicit instructions

[cerulean bloom]

[lime trout]

I didn’t know how to make it more obvious

And once you verify it’s just clutter so we hide it

TLDR goto htb account

Link discord

[cerulean bloom]

very easy tbh

guys participate in thm aoc 25 lets rob them of their prizes

[proud moth]

stumbled upon this on reddit, are leetcode-style interviews basically dead now?

https://www.interviewcoder.co/

[buoyant wyvern]

Anyone knows report template for client faced report

[gentle pumice]

yo guys what's up; i was wondering if there's a way to earn cubes for free like relatively big amounts

[dusky jacinth]

Truly someone to look up to

[dusky jacinth]

Nah. Unless you place really well during the season, but even then it isn’t like copious amounts

And it’s not CoC so you can’t just “Buy free CoC gems free now online”

[gentle pumice]

oh bummer

[dusky jacinth]

🤷‍♂️

Ees what it ees

[gentle pumice]

even the ctf stuff won't give any cubes ?

[dusky jacinth]

I mean it can

If you place really well

Like each tier has rewards I think, but I haven’t really looked. I’m mostly just on Academy

[gentle pumice]

i am trying to participate in those event's but i'm kinda intimidated by the difficulty thus i am doing thm for now since the boxes seem easier

[gentle pumice]

ow

[sturdy thistle]

@warped plank maybe a different machine thou

[dusky jacinth]

It’s not as hard as it looks. Each box has requirements it has to fit in, so you’re less likely to go down unnecessary rabbit holes for easy and medium boxes

Harder and harder boxes require additional knowledge of theory and execution of techniques. It all comes with time and practice

[gentle pumice]

i should probably give it a try soon

[dusky jacinth]

Try the active boxes

[gentle pumice]

is there wrtieups available in the internet

[dusky jacinth]

It’s a good way to learn to struggle and figure it out

[dusky jacinth]

Yeah for retired machines

[lofty warren]

[nimble tundra]

Mid

[scenic maple]

only if you dont get caught

there is in office ones as well

also white board

[gentle pumice]

thanks for the advice

[dusky jacinth]

yw

It’s how I’m learning and have been encouraged to learn, so don’t thank me

[nimble tundra]

guys can to fetch all the machines i solved using the htb api ?

anyone tried ?

[proud moth]

but like, how are they going to trust that remote interviews are not like this now?

[scenic maple]

they arent

they always have suspicion

[proud moth]

they will be still a thing then?

[scenic maple]

yeah probably

[proud moth]

that's not very good, i hope they change type of interview

leetcode is so ass

[scenic maple]

they will legit make it worse than it already is

i dont know how but they will

[signal mica]

is competitive programming still a thing since gpt5 came out?

[scenic maple]

yes

very much so

[signal mica]

it feels like gpt5 can solve maxflow problem in one prompt?

[scenic maple]

most of them yes

[proud moth]

it's probably still popular even if it's the most useless goddamn thing in all of programming

[scenic maple]

but above grandmaster level no

[signal mica]

it is useless but its an interesting benchmark. its a hard area of IT so its a decent indicator for ones intelligence/discipline

i used to be pretty geeked about it

[scenic maple]

what was your elo

[signal mica]

no clue

i mostly did irl local competitions

[scenic maple]

do you remember ur codefoces username

uh i see

[signal mica]

and for learning i used competitive programming 3 by halim + uva online judge

also alot of it in college

[cerulean bloom]

yes

[proud moth]

i really really don't like competitive programming, it's not comparable to actually good CTFs we have in security

[cerulean bloom]

I love both

[signal mica]

i concur

[scenic maple]

in all honesty ctfs are also not a great benchmark

[proud moth]

what is a good benchmark?

How many CompTiAss+ certs one has?

[scenic maple]

there is no good benchmark

how do you know if a person will be a good employee in the next few years and will continue to do so with a 30 minute interview and a piece of paper

[sly aurora]

Gotta say, the whole "dont use ai!" thing in leetcode and cert tests is possibly the silliest thing in the cyberjob space I have come across so far

[scenic maple]

so you just pick whatever method of judging in the 30 mins thing and come up with ways to test people

[proud moth]

why whatever method? there is a very easy benchmark to hire people in hacking, it's simply to see how they would test an application of some kind

[signal mica]

you can atleast tailor the ctf to mimic your infra or daily work etc, competitive programming is just for loops optimized

[dusky jacinth]

Hacking certs and IT certs are widely different though

[sly aurora]

"Dont use the thing our c suite is making all of use daily to pass your test for the job that will 100% have ai integration!" stupid, hate that ish lmao

[proud moth]

in programming this is not the case, because leetcodes have zero overlap with real programming

[cerulean bloom]

lol

[scenic maple]

true

[dusky jacinth]

Getting your OSCP doesn’t make you good, but it shows you could do what you need to do

While all the + certs are pretty much j theory

[cerulean bloom]

I would disagree when you solve harder problems

[dusky jacinth]

Much harder to prove your abilities w it

[scenic maple]

well i do agree that competative programming is way worse than ctfs

problem with programming is it takes a lot of time sometimes lots of research and you cant fit that into a 30 min call

[dusky jacinth]

^^

[signal mica]

name the hardest you solved

[scenic maple]

60% of all programmers will become soy devs atleast the employed kind and they will rarely think anything about performance

[proud moth]

getting up from bed this morning

[cerulean bloom]

let me check

@signal mica

[carmine pecan]

60%?!

[signal mica]

im scrolling leetcode rn and i swear on hood that even starting point machines are more fun than any leetcode challenge

[carmine pecan]

more like 86.5%

[dusky jacinth]

That one dude who does the shorts of how to solve this software engineering interview question put it really well

It’s not about solving the bug

It’s about getting everything operational again

[proud moth]

it's just garbage

it's a disgrace

[scenic maple]

i was being generous

[carmine pecan]

it did NOT work

[proud moth]

on top of being the most boring shit of all time, leetcode actually makes you a worse programmer probably

[carmine pecan]

and I wasn't going to pretend otherwise

[dusky jacinth]

He’s adamant

That you retract your silly number

[scenic maple]

point is i dont care at this point
i would just show up do the work and get the paycheck

[signal mica]

+1

[scenic maple]

but when i am doing hobby stuff or its my company then i will focus on stuff like hiring and performant code

[supple plume]

Idk what's the yappin about but +1

[scenic maple]

we be too old these days

[signal mica]

oh yeah codeforced is hardest of them all

atcoder is easiest

[proud moth]

codeforces is absolute insanity yes

[scenic maple]

in all honesty the people who are 1500+ in there without ai are generally good coders

and probably would be good hire

[cerulean bloom]

codeforces rated 1500?

[scenic maple]

yeah

[dusky jacinth]

I don’t even know where to start lmao

[cerulean bloom]

ah, good, cuz I'm 2007

[dusky jacinth]

I read through it and literally put my phone down

[proud moth]

i would think more that they make good mathematicians than coders

[scenic maple]

its not much math tho

[signal mica]

yeah this is hard i wouldnt even bother

cant believe i found this fun once

[scenic maple]

then bro became old

there is a lot of math imo, but except for the basically mathematical coding problems, it isn't difficult

[supple plume]

@austere aurora

[cerulean bloom]

true

[scenic maple]

mine is like 300 or so and i did only one contest so idk much deep

makes sense if you did 1 contest

[scenic maple]

i have done one more contest than most codeforces users
