![]() ![]() If we do use Microsoft Edge, we see a chatbot interface in this tab, but with some nice additions. The phrase “conversational search” here is interesting, given this was a phrase Google introduced in 2013. The “chat” tab is also present on old Bing, but just shows you a message telling you to go to Microsoft Edge. You’ll notice the addition of an “Open Website” button next to the top result on the SERP - perhaps a way of compensating a little for loss of organic click through rate? Lastly, one of the tabs in the story cites the Wisconsin Badgers, and a page which is entirely unrelated to the content at hand, so perhaps Bing is also citing its sources for disambiguation here? The phrase “Mustelid masters” itself seems to be original to this box. These AI-generated boxes don’t appear for most queries - only clear and uncontroversial informational intents. ![]() You can see here that a picture of wrestling has been sourced to accompany the text about badgers wrestling. It’s a six-part story, with sometimes surprising accompanying imagery: The “mustelid masters” box above the organic results is new, and contains AI-generated text with a voice-to-speech capability. Performing the same search in the new Bing, I can see identical organic results, but rather different features: Fortunately for you, the reader, I have dusted off everyone’s fourth-favorite browser so you don’t have to. You’ll notice a key detail here: it’s only available in Microsoft Edge. When I perform a search on “old bing” now, I can see this box inviting me to try the new one. For now, the point is that Bing is making moves. Of course, by now we’ve all also seen various viral posts and tweets showing just how dangerous it can be to use chat AI as a search engine, but that’s a topic for another day. This development promises to have seismic effects on the search ecosystem, with Microsoft’s CEO saying they’re happy to accept “demonetization” of search in their pursuit of market share, and Google extremely concerned about the threat ChatGPT technology poses as an alternative to their core search business. “The new Bing” is the product of Microsoft’s unholy alliance with OpenAI, makers of the now infamous ChatGPT.

Get Mac® Security Bible now with the O’Reilly learning platform. By default, MySQL uses port 3306, whereas PostgreSQL uses port 5432. Or, for better security, configure the firewall to restrict incoming access on the designated ports to only those IP addresses that need it. Some of the tools that offer this capability are conventional Mac OS X GUI programs - for example, MJ Media's free Sequel Pro ( or Araelium Group's $25 Querious ( For such applications, which communicate directly over the Internet, make sure the firewall on the Mac running your SQL server has the necessary port(s) open to enable you to access it from another computer. ![]() Although you can administer an SQL database from the command line using Terminal (either locally or over SSH), many people prefer a friendlier, fill-in-the-blanks interface. Therefore, if you plan to administer your SQL server from a computer other than the one it's running on or use its data to feed a web server on another computer, you should take a few additional steps to prevent unauthorized users from getting administrative access to your database:Ĭustomize firewall rules. But SQL servers are designed to operate over a network, and there's usually no expectation at all that a database resides on the same computer as a web server that uses it to store data or a client that connects for administrative purposes. The previous section covered injection attacks, one of the ways in which database servers are often compromised. ![]()
