thumbnail 'Expected Declaration or Statement at End of Input' in C Solved
Sep 6th 2023, 13:57, by Ankur Ranpariya

Programming in C requires careful attention to detail, as even small syntax errors can cause unexpected problems in your code. One common error message that developers may encounter when writing C code is "Expected declaration or statement at the end of input." This error message can be frustrating to deal with, but fortunately, it is usually straightforward to diagnose and fix. In this article, you will learn how to identify where the problem is, how to deal with it, and how to avoid it.

Identify the Problem

When the "Expected declaration or statement at the end of input" error occurs, it means that the compiler has reached the end of the file or function without finding a complete statement or declaration. In other words, the compiler is expecting to find some additional code but instead has reached the end of the program without finding it.

Sep 6th 2023, 13:29, by Melissa Habit

Today's cyber threat landscape necessitates a nuanced and proactive strategy for circumventing attacks due to the increasingly complex, sophisticated nature of threats. Security teams must not only have a solid understanding of the landscape but also have effective solutions for predicting and preempting security threats — those both known and unknown to their organization.

In this Refcard, you will learn about the evolving threat landscape, key challenges of emerging technologies, as well as basic and advanced threat detection techniques to integrate into your overall security strategy.

thumbnail How StackOverflow Is Adapting in the Face of Generative AI
Sep 6th 2023, 13:18, by Vignesh Balagopalakrishnan

StackOverflow, the most commonly used platform by software developers for programming support, has been through a rough ride lately. Despite an impressive 69% of questions answered, StackOverflow's traffic has been in decline. Similarweb's data shows that their traffic dropped 14% year over year (StackOverflow says it's closer to 5%). Nevertheless, the trend is downward and is explained primarily by the emergence of AI coding products like ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot. These products have meaningful code-writing capabilities and are, therefore, able to provide programming support, at least partly as good as StackOverflow does. Ironically, several of the large language models (LLMs) behind these AI products were trained using scraped StackOverflow data.

The company has gotten pretty harsh media coverage with these developments. Business Insider, in their article Death by LLM, wrote:

thumbnail Building Real-Time Applications to Process Wikimedia Streams Using Kafka and Hazelcast
Sep 6th 2023, 12:40, by Fawaz Ghali, PhD

In this tutorial, developers, solution architects, and data engineers can learn how to build high-performance, scalable, and fault-tolerant applications that react to real-time data using Kafka and Hazelcast.

We will be using Wikimedia as a real-time data source. Wikimedia provides various streams and APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) to access real-time data about edits and changes made to their projects. For example, this source provides a continuous stream of updates on recent changes, such as new edits or additions to Wikipedia articles. Developers and solution architects often use such streams to monitor and analyze the activity on Wikimedia projects in real-time or to build applications that rely on this data, like this tutorial. Kafka is great for event streaming architectures, continuous data integration (ETL), and messaging systems of record (database). Hazelcast is a unified real-time stream data platform that enables instant action on data in motion by combining stream processing and a fast data store for low-latency querying, aggregation, and stateful computation against event streams and traditional data sources. It allows you to build resource-efficient, real-time applications quickly. You can deploy it at any scale from small edge devices to a large cluster of cloud instances.

thumbnail CassIO: The Best Library for Generative AI Inspired by OpenAI
Sep 6th 2023, 10:31, by Patrick McFadin

If you're a frequent user of ChatGPT, you know the tendency it has to wander off into what is known as hallucinations. A great collection of statistically correct words that have no basis in reality. A few months ago, a prompt about using Apache Cassandra for large language models (LLMs) and LangChain resulted in a curious response. ChatGPT reported that not only was Cassandra a good tool choice when creating LLMs, but OpenAI used Cassandra with an MIT-licensed Python library they called CassIO. Into the rabbit hole we went, and through more prompting, ChatGPT described many details about how CassIO was used. It even included some sample code and a website. Subsequent research found no evidence of CassIO outside of ChatGPT responses, but the seed was sown. If this library didn't exist, it needed to, and we started work on it shortly after.

Best hallucination ever.
