This is a site I created that lets anonymous users create satire news with AI text and image models from a prompt with instructions.

It currently uses open-ai models for the contents and stable diffusion (using the AI Horde) for the images.

It's very interesting. I tried similar approach just by giving some input text to Stable Diffusion and the images are not satisfactory. So I didn't pursue the idea. Because making a site with serious content, people are very reluctant to get in. But satirical or comical way of telling the stories are attracting them very fast. Like Tick Tok videos.

and with humor I can play with AI without worrying about it hallucinating and getting everything wrong

If it fits a genre you already lost me, give me something new to play

That's the illusion that got me into C. Reality I found is, where I live at least, C is for legacy code and code that runs in very bad hardware.

What illusion are you talking about?

I hate the one-time premium IAP option, because I lost it in some app after reinstall, and it's not compatible with Android's family library.

I'll ignore anything that is shown to have any IAP.

At least the way it works on iOS, iOS is supposed to keep track of whether you purchased that purchase or not (that type of purchase at least not the 'buy x items' consumables), and require apps to have a 'Restore Purchases' option you can click to load which items have been bought and restore the state of your app.

At least in theory, maybe there's been a few cases where it hasn't worked. I'm not aware of any, though.

I don't know how that works on Android. That might not be supported.

Rust already beat C in the benchmarks game

That boxplot shows both the C and the C++ programs ahead of the Rust programs, so why do you say "Rust already beat C" ?

I created a vehicle plate recognition system before ML got cool, but I can't get any ML job with my less than bachelor degree (associate? dunno how to translate) here in Brazil. I think there are only 2 positions open for machine learning less than 100km from where I live.

I feel left out.

are you thinking about opensource? I don't think it would be opensource

You do it the same way exploit writers do. Attach a debugger to the process, find the memory address of the resource you want to modify, overwrite the address with the address of the modified resource you want to execute. You could also just use the debugger to force the program to execute functions with arguments you specify, that way you don't have to worry about mucking with the memory.

Usually you'd create a dynamic library that interposes a function, so you don't have to much around with using a debugger. This way you have a persistent modification that's much more resilient to changes caused by app updates. Exploit writers generally have different goals: their thing only really needs to work once, and only with the current configuration, since usually the bug they're relying on gets patched in the next version.

Nope. There are ways to reverse engineer closed source apps and inject code into them.

Also, depending on the platform, if a native application is following the platform guidelines, then quite a lot of things you want to change might be located in data files or "resource" section of the executable.

I haven't been messing much with Windows executables for quite a while, but back in the day, I'd "improve" many programs by just editing their resources.

What about places that we consider like the purgatory? I almost want my country to get worse so I can get into the US as a regugee.

If you want to work for yourself or start a startup, giving it away for free is a terribly bad move. Your friend did the right thing.
