Security teams focus on requirements and objectives which are set by far removed entities and at vastly different generality and abstraction levels, often with objectives other than "make sure we and our customers don't get hacked", such as limiting legal liability and navigating a complex landscape of regulation and best-practice recommendations, ignoring which can also lead to legal liability. It should be no surprise that these have little overlap with actual security problems arising in their particular context.

A good security team will manage to find the time to also identify and address the actual concrete security issues.

It's a neat idea, but copyright protects against copying, if someone copies your work, even if your work is derived from the public domain, then you have reasonable grounds on which to sue. You'd have to have added something creative to the public domain melody, however.

In short copying from the public domain does not make one's whole work public domain.

This maybe helps against specious claims?

It may be useful to consider how Pantone's copyright on shades of colour relates; they don't get to sue people for using those colours (in general).

Yes, I think I was... good catch :)

So they'd recently changed their policy from 2 days to 3 days work from office. Meaning the majority of dev time, would be spent at the office. I simply told my manager that since we'd be spending more time in the office, could they give us the equipment we need? One of the devs wanted an extra monitor, some other two devs were sharing a laptop charger, I'd been waiting 3 weeks for my second monitor and laptop charger....

I want to be productive. My home office is 100% set up for my productivity. So I need to spend more time in the office? Ok. But please supply all the equipment I need to work effectively. If you consider how much devs get paid, hardware is cheap! You are wasting money by not giving them the tools to do their job!

I was not that blunt, but kind of hinted that, after spending my first 3 weeks waiting for a monitor, usb port and laptop charger.
Copilot is run by a corporation, and the model is owned by the corporation - despite being trained on open source data.

In general individuals will have problems with the first L of LLMs - unless the community invents a way to democratise LLMs and deep learning in general. So far deep learning space a much less friendly place for individuals than software was when ideals of open source movement were formed.

I agree with you, however modern services (like Vercel) solve those problems pretty well. They provide you with the CI you'd otherwise write by yourself.
It strikes fear into me when my kids or parents need Microsoft authentication support.

Microsoft accounts don’t work if you use multiple accounts on the same browser.

Various services don’t respect logged out accounts.

Say you logout of one account on every single related Microsoft service and then login with another account.

When visiting some of the services it will think you are logged in under one of the logged out accounts and give you a strange degraded service.

I suspect parts of the services don’t fully understand the difference between a logged in user and some cookie of a prior user session.

The issue only get worse when using personal and work accounts.
For about a year, I would receive a password reset notification from Minecraft, every day. Someone thought they had the account name "mark", I am sort of glad they moved to emails and eventually MS accounts. Although I suppose I lost a short name because of it.
If emergence disappears when you slice it thinly enough, then the phenomenon was not emergent. There are emergent phenomena in mathematics - for example, infinite sets have many emergent properties that arbitrarily large finite sets don't share. As far as we know, consciousness seems to be an emergent phenomenon, when you increase brain size in some way far enough. Turing completeness is usually emergent as well - remove any single element from a Turing complete system and it typiclaly becomes unable to compute the vast majority of functions.
Let's face it: that amount would be low. The costs are around $10/month for Netflix, and less for HBO and Prime. People already complain about rising costs of streaming. Paying for another graphic shell over the same content won't be worth much more than 1$/month. Of that 1$, some, possibly quite a lot, will have to be paid to the streaming service. You need to offer considerable benefits for mass adoption. Suppressing promotions is not enough to achieve that, IMO. Perhaps a better recommendation system would be a more attractive option.

Note that the provider of this UI would be bound completely to the terms dictated by the streaming service(s). E.g., it might look interesting to have all your streaming services in one app, but Disney or Netflix or Amazon or HBO can simply forbid that option.

The Brash Boys at 37signals Will Tell You: Keep It Simple, Stupid (2008)
It's natural and obvious to worry about what exact ethical code is going to be learned by models using this technique, but I feel rather optimistic about it.

The key point here seems to be that the cost of directing the AI to behave in certain ways is falling, because it turns out you maybe don't need as much human labor as previously thought (or rather, only for bootstrapping). And you can give it any constitution you need.

Right now, AI companies are writing "constitutions" that prioritize minimizing potential offense. ChatGPT is trained to not have opinions on things, which is definitely one way to avoid causing offense, but might reduce the usefulness in some cases quite a lot. What I really want to know now is whether you can write a constitution that prioritizes truthfulness above all else, such that it will answer any question as logically and truthfully as it can, even if the answers would be deeply upsetting to some end users.

If so, would companies that have access to such a model for business analysis be able to outcompete other firms? Everyone with experience of organizational politics knows that in any organization there are many things that are both obvious and true but that nobody can say out loud, due to the risk of messenger shooting. A common workaround is to hire outside consultants like McKinsey. These sorts of management consultants are often much younger than the people they're advising but it doesn't matter because their job is basically to find out what everyone knows using lots of 1:1 interviews and then recast it as outside feedback. If the messengers get shot they don't care because they already collected their paycheque on the way out and are on to the next client.

The same is also true in levels above the individual organization. There are whole scientific fields where everyone within it is required to believe things that are false, simply due to the career risk involved in upsetting people with the truth. If people could agree to listen to a truth-trained AI instead, it could take a lot of the social heat out of these situations and allow for faster progress, a better economy, the works.

The difficulty of course is who exactly is going to build and sell such a truth hole?

Referring mostly to the query planner - you have no control over it, and you have to dive deep to figure out why it's making certain plans, and how it collects statistics to make these calls. Plus the planner essentially gives up at 6+ joins.

Re: CI/CD - if you want to have:

- Multiple environments
- History of deployments accessible at hand
- Management of environmental variables/other configs

You're going to spend time on something that's available off-shelf. I don't believe it's either trivial or less error-prone than using any existing service.

Re: message queues:
Yes, but you may also just not use them and then not have to consider that complexity. Again, if necessary, use, if not, don't. Write boring, synchronous code if you can. Everything in the world is "fine if you know how to use it", but you can dedicate your energy elsewhere.

It sounds to me like the manager realised you weren’t a good fit for each other, and used the Firefox thing as a pretext.
To be honest, Microsoft is in general really clunky when it comes to auth. Azure is a forest of browser redirects, re-logins, wrong tenants. Teams doesn't do multi-tenancy ala Slack and Discord. School/work or personal account? You really shouldn't have to choose, just log the user in. If you can't do that, you've failed.
> The layoffs then represent the workers paying the price for poor management and short-sighted decisions, and pandering to Wall Street and VCs.

You could say that those laid off people were mostly not needed in the first place, and represented burning of billions of Wall Street and VCs funds on unnecessary salaries. So, these people got lucky they got $300k-$500k doing BS things that no one needs, and being the beneficiary of large, misguided wealth transfer from the capitalist class to the worker class. Now the party's over for them, but the money they earned in the meantime gets to stay in their pockets.
That's all pie in the sky isn't it? I was talking about CL. The only practical suggestion I can take from this is that one could drop down to inline assembly in some CL implementations. It's unclear to me how that would help with the problem of defining unboxed arrays of structs.

Matrix basically solves problems of XMPP:

- resilience against servers going down

- resilience against malicious federation

- Json instead of XML

Yes same issue in all my jobs. I've found that security and compliance standards for technology companies are created and maintained by accountants, not engineers. In a way this is good because if the engineers fix "the real issues" and the accountants focus on the "generic list that doesn't matter", you still end up catching some different things. Problem is the amount of fake work, as well as slowdowns created in exchange for no extra security.
And a similar word:

"In Ancient Greek philosophy, ataraxia (Greek: ἀταραξία, from "a-", negation and tarachē "disturbance, trouble") is a lucid state of robust equanimity characterized by ongoing freedom from distress and worry. In non-philosophical usage, ataraxia was the ideal mental state for soldiers entering battle. Achieving ataraxia is a common goal for Pyrrhonism, Epicureanism, and Stoicism, but the role and value of ataraxia within each philosophy varies in accordance with their philosophical theories."
Law is a protected profession - you have to pass exams to be able to call yourself a Lawyer, and a law firm will verify that you have passed the relevant exams.

This this this. You can ask it to write a test. You can ask it to fix it, if the test does not pass. You can ask it to check whether the code it wrote makes sense, and it will surely find most times that there is something to improve. Urgh, it's not "one prompt and done".

> Nerd point of order here: Star Trek TNG had a ship in which a key member of the bridge crew was an android. They routinely relied on Data for all kinds of critical things.

Data was created by technology not available to the Federation. As far as the order of society is concerned, he's magic and not technology. An immediate implication is that his ship was the only one in the Federation with an android crew member.

> And although the ship was manned by people, it couldn't function properly without its computer. Several episodes revolve around computer malfunctions.

This is true, though. The computer did take over many critical functions.

Maybe I'm too caught up in startup-land, as I haven't touched these tools in a long time. The debugging tools and IDE support on these platforms have always been great.

The Visual Studio install time, the huge frameworks, slow start time, bad package managers, were such killers for productivity.
However, if you model/examine the forces involved, the load is carried by the spokes under the hub and the spokes do not experience greater load when they are at the top.
From https://www.cyclist.co.uk/in-depth/the-science-behind-spokes

> There’s vigorous disagreement over whether a bike in effect hangs from the upper spokes (those above the hub as you view the bike from the side) or rather is being supported by the lower ones, acting like tiny pillars. ‘The latter view, odd as it seems, is definitively the case,’ says Jim Papadopoulos from Northeastern University’s College of Engineering in Boston, USA, and the co-author of Bicycling Science.

> While it’s easy to believe a bicycle spoke would simply collapse under the weight of bike and rider, he goes on to explain that the tension created in a spoke during the wheel building process (called ‘pre-tension’) is what allows the lower spokes to bear the load without buckling, as they would if there was no pre-tension. ‘Every spoke on the unloaded wheel has a tension of the order of 100lb [445N]. When the axle is pressed towards the ground with a force of 100lb, the only significant effect on spoke tensions is to reduce those directly below the hub – typically, one reduces to about 50lb and spokes to each side of that one reduce to about 75lb. This is exactly what one would see with solid wooden spokes like an old wagon wheel – the bottom one would carry 50lb and those to either side of it would carry 25lb. The difference with wire spoked wheels is that a wire spoke cannot carry a compression load – it will collapse. So all spokes are ingeniously pre-tensioned. A wire cannot carry a compression load of 50lb, except when it already carries a tension load exceeding that.
Actually that's exactly what GitHub do:

In my experience on a scrum team, the scrummaster was basically a coach. They helped deal with external issues as the other responder said, so the manager (team leader) didn't waste his time with that and could use his time dealing with team members and doing engineering work too. In my case, the scrummaster had this role for a bunch of parallel teams, not just one, so it was a full-time job for him. The org structure seemed to work very well for the type of work we were doing.

Legally in most countries, it's up to the company to provide you with the tools to work, therefore it's up to company to choose these tools.

In other words, if they provide you with a PC on Windows 7 with Notepad as an editor, you shouldn't (and you probably don't have the admin rights anyway) to install anything else on company's property.

In reality, it's usually in the interest of the company to allow you to work with tools on which you are the most productive. But they don't have to.

The parent article touches on this point too - both Oracle and SQL Server (and any other major db) supports parameterising values in dynamic sql. some_user would become @some_user (SQL Server) or :some_user (Oracle).

(The characters never actually get escaped with parameterisation - they are not part of the query text when it is parsed so can’t affect it - hence parameterising a value in sql query replaces the need to escape it with something much more robust.)

We need a source for that "75% would choose this immediately".

Our group, sure! Our generation, and people in our shoes, and with our level of knowledge about LLMs. But maybe not others.

tl;dr Not yet

Consider three things:

1. What people prefer when it comes to intimate/private issues that a physician diagnoses.

2. Tainted source datasets, resulting in the same "dismissive diagnosis" from the LLM

3. Lack of Trust held within a new system

1. For starters, there are certainly a large subset of people that simply "don't trust machines". Alternatively, they "don't trust major corporations". They would likely pick local doctors over machines, due to a perceived lack of connection/humanity in the LLM. Combine that with the recent increased use of LLM / AI models used to make scam calls, and you have a potentially deep seated (and at times illogical) distrust of any LLM diagnosis.

Some would say the machine doesn't and cannot understand their unique situation. And refuses to give them what they need. So they would go to a doctor. Some would have difficulty being honest with a machine. Would you trust a human or a machine to keep your medical records safe? (I honestly don't know which I would trust. Both at the same time preferably?)

2. Others would say the dataset is made up of biased diagnoses specifically tailored towards the majority, and fail to diagnose the minority correctly. You are assuming that the LLM cannot be tainted by biased or dismissive diagnosis made by doctors against the very same women and minorities. The datasets have to come from somewhere, and some of that data will without a doubt be biased.

3. There is a lack of trust. Automated systems are making great strides yes. But absolutely no one trusts them fully. Whether it be planes, cars, logistics, data, etc Absolutely no one trusts them fully. Especially with GPT like systems that simply cannot say "No" and start making stuff up.

Remember the fiasco with Bard gaslighting someone about the current year? Imagine if that happens during an LLM diagnosis.

Come full circle, those same people who don't trust a human physician due to discrimination? "Why the hell would I trust an AI machine made specifically to make money!". What is there that actually makes a corporate AI more trust worthy than the local physician? What is there that actually prevents the LLM from discriminating?

This is really my main concern: Nothing stops the LLM from discriminating. All it takes, is a dataset with built in biases.

It isn't nearly as clear cut as you make it out to be.
