Security Center - Create WAF rules directly from Threat Events saved views

Cloudforce One users can now turn Threat Events indicators into active defense. With this update, users can instantly generate a WAF rule that matches the dynamic list of IP addresses returned by any of their Saved Views. Why this matters Threat intelligence is most effective when it is immediately actionable. Previously, blocking threat actors required manually extracting indicators from threat events and copying them into your firewall rules. This new integration bridges the gap between threat

From Prototype to Production: Finishing Moonsu Link, a Chat-Native Agricultural Marketplace for Cameroon

This is a submission for the GitHub Finish-Up-A-Thon Challenge What We Built Moonsu Link is a chat-native agricultural marketplace built for farmers and buyers in Cameroon. In Cameroon, agriculture is central to daily life, but the way produce is bought and sold is still fragmented. In many towns, roadside markets and middlemen control access to buyers. In rural areas, farmers often depend on word of mouth, informal contacts, or market days to move their goods. That creates real friction. A farm

BYTE PAIR ENCODING

Understanding Byte Pair Encoding (BPE) by Building It From Scratch Introduction: Why Tokenization Exists When working with Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT, LLaMA, or Mistral, one of the first hidden steps is tokenization. LLMs do not read raw text. Instead, text must first be converted into tokens — numerical representations that the model can process. One of the most important tokenization techniques used in modern NLP systems is Byte Pair Encoding (BPE). In this article, I’l

Writing Code Is Now The Easiest Part

In the early years of my career, as a developer, my biggest problem was always an if condition or a complex JOIN query in PostgreSQL. In my eyes, the greatest achievement was writing and running a complex algorithm without errors. Nowadays, looking back twenty years later, I see that writing code has become the easiest part of the job. This doesn't mean code is unimportant, of course. However, the real challenges of a project often lie far beyond the lines we type at the keyboard. The main strug

I Tried NotebookLM as a Study Tool and It's Actually Changed How I Learn

Not just a quick try, I mean, actually building a workflow around it. And I'm genuinely surprised by how much it's helped me. Let me share what I found. NotebookLM
