Hearing: The lowest level of listening is sometimes called ignoring - you register the sound of the other person's voice, but not much else.

Pretend listening: Your mind and attention are elsewhere, or you have that “I'd rather be somewhere else” look in your eyes.
Listening to interrupt: You are waiting for the speaker to pause so that you can get your chance to speak. You pay attention to the speaker as long as they talk about things you like or agree with.
Active listening: You are now listening and asking relevant questions to help you seek clarity about what is being said.

AlphaCode has been tested on challenges organized by Codeforces, a competitive coding platform that publishes problems on a weekly basis and establishes rankings for coders, much like the Elo ranking system used in chess. These challenges require in-depth knowledge of algorithms and theoretical concepts of computer science. These are highly specialized puzzles that combine logic, math, and coding expertise.

In an example challenge AlphaCode was subjected to, competitors are asked to find a way to convert a string of random, repeated letters s and t to another string of the same letters by using the backspace key. AlphaCode proceeds to read the problem and proposes the source code of a solution to it.

O'Reilly, a leading source for technology and business learning, reported last week that interest in cybersecurity topics is growing as data breaches persist.
