A big client asked us to fill around 200 questions in an excel sheets, regarding our company security.

Then he asked for a cybersecurity standard document (like a big thing around 50 pages)

I took the previous excel sheet, removed noise, anonimized it. The n pass it to gpt3.5 to summarize for each security category (access management, code source security,...) the bulletpoints answering how do we implement that

To finish, I passed the bulletpoints for each category to gpt4, to write a nice bullshit document which sound more professional than me
My company renamed Human Resources to "Human Capital Management" since it wasn't dehumanizing enough the other way.
The tipping function on electronic payments is a blight. I'm starting to see this regularly in Berlin, a place where tipping is not customary in many settings and just having this as a step you have to click through on the payment processor creates a level of social expectation.
> I don't think anyone would (or should) hide a bitcoin secret key inside of an obfuscated program.

I can't remember where I read this, or if it was just a hypothetical, but I think I heard of people doing this deliberately as a sort of canary. If the wallet gets drained, then you know someone cracked your obfuscation.
How does memory safety allow you to protect your personal information? How many binary exploits have actually lead to the exposing your personal information?

I can count with my fingertips exactly zero times that has happened to me. The times my personal information was compromised happened to me is when I downloaded malicious software. Malicious software doesn't care whether your process has "memory safety", it'll extract anything from the processes memory it wishes. Sure memory safety would at least rule out simple binary exploits, but to be targeted by one is not exactly common.

I don't get the narrative of an ever increasingly threatening world. If anything things have only been getting better, at least for the individual users. I remember individuals getting pwned very frequently in the old days. Now, not so much, with DEP, ASLR, and stack canaries. The attacks on businesses have increased, but those attacks are mostly just phishing or otherwise human error related.

Attack vectors for actual PI retrieval rarely incorporate some obscure memory bug in a program allowing RCE or remote access. Unless you're a high value target.

GPT-4 ELI5:

- 4-bit Quantization: Imagine you have a box of 16 different colored crayons. But you realize that you can draw almost the same picture using only 4 colors. That's what quantization does. It reduces the number of different "colors" (or numbers) that the model uses to represent its knowledge, which saves a lot of space. In this case, they used a special kind of 4-bit quantization, which means they only used 16 different numbers instead of the thousands or millions that the model might usually use.

- Low Rank Adapters (LoRA): This is a way to change the model's knowledge without having to touch every piece of it. Imagine you have a huge, complicated Lego structure, and you want to change it. Instead of taking apart the whole thing, you just add or change a few pieces here and there. That's what LoRA does. It allows the researchers to fine-tune the model without having to use as much memory.

- Double Quantization: This is another trick to save memory. It's like if you realized that you could represent each of your 4 crayon colors with just 2 symbols, so you save even more space.

- Paged Optimizers: This is a way to handle moments when the model needs a lot of memory all at once. It's like if you have a small desk, but sometimes you need to work on a big project. Instead of getting a bigger desk, you just clear off and use the desk in small sections at a time.

By using these techniques, the researchers were able to train a very large model (Guanaco) on a single graphics card, which would normally not have enough memory for this task.
Strong in China. I haven't seen them much elsewhere.
One of the things I've realized in my year-long (and, blessedly, soon to end) return to daily Windows usage is that filesystem access on Windows is unbelievably ass-slow, particularly on corporate endpoints bogged down in a morass of EDR, AV, and God knows what other horseshit hooking into every file access via Windows' filtering mechanisms.

My escape hatch from all of this, of course, has been WSL: all the files get to live in a VHD and and operating on them bypasses all of that crap.

And now Microsoft has offered a solution for achieving the same thing on the Windows side... using exactly the same mechanism! I can't help but believe this was directly inspired by WSL.

I didn't either, but if I needed help with a command- I'd consult the manpages first. But then again, I learned unices back in the days before resources were easily searchable online, and multiple flavors as well. Solaris, BSD, Linux, etc. They all had slightly different flags and it was always wise to check.

Sitting in a datacenter, with no wifi and working on a downed server... you learn to appreciate the manpages at the console.

Isn't there an saying about limiting criticism before we thoroughly understand the trade-offs that had to be decided.

One potential trade-off is being able to write a continuous datastream relatively unencumbered vs having to insert data to delineate files, which is going to be time consuming for some times of files.

ABOUT PROJECT LIFESAVER

Project Lifesaver is the premier search and rescue program operated internationally by public safety agencies, and is strategically designed for “at risk” individuals who are prone to the life threatening behavior of wandering. The primary mission of Project Lifesaver is to provide timely response to save lives and reduce potential injury for adults and children with the propensity to wander due to a cognitive condition.

> The next question is why didn’t the high end shops spending a ton of money and recruiting effort on crypto and state malware like NSA .. or Russia(?) figure this out already or did they

There's no way to know. But the NSA (at least) has a documented history of making crypto breakthroughs and keeping them secret (e.g. public key crypto: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography#Classi..., differential cryptanalysis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_cryptanalysis#His...).
Events are considered high risk by payment processors because the nature of events is that you sell the tickets before the event (ie. you accept payment without providing the service).

Shopify focuses more on people selling physical goods (traditional ecommerce), so maybe consider a platform that caters specifically to events/services - maybe something like woocommerce?.
I don't mind bit of skepticism. But let's see: Comma is actually used by people in their cars to achieve some degree of self driving. He actually shipped something that works! The idea is ambitious as well as commercially interesting: car manufacturers don't reinvent wheel for every component but rely on OEMs to help them out. This was a similar bet. That way it is wildly more successful than hundreds of other undifferentiated yet another social/lending/flavour of the season apps.

It takes guts to put out such bold bets in writing. We've seen many (senior!) tech people sneer at George's at times naive optimism. I actually find the "how hard could be" attitude refreshing against "no no it is complicated you can't do that" gatekeeping. Because otherwise we will end up using big-tech for lack of alternative. It is not the critic who counts and all that..

I wonder if there's a campaign that Americans can get behind to counter Altman's push for regulation. Such a thing might get me to engage in politics again. I don't want the current pace of innovation in running these models on one's own computer to slow down, because it could be a good thing for assistive technology, e.g. running something like the Be My Eyes Virtual Volunteer [1] on one's own computer.

That's almost never the case. And how can some stranger at a call center know this? Mentally ill people are unreliable narrators of their own circumstances. They're prone to exaggerations, delusion, rants, lies, subterfuge, concealment, verbal abuse.

If someone called 998, then yes, please listen to them. Listen attentively, validate their feelings, but soothe and comfort and reassure them. There are systematic ways to do this and they can get results.

But never ever call 998. Beware if someone offers to do so. Your hospital incarceration will be more traumatic, damaging, and expensive than any other alternative.

Get help before it gets to that point. Seek out good therapists and support groups when you're sane and calm, and stick to your treatment. Do it in-person, face-to-face. There is no substitute.

My favorite restaurants in Japan were the ones you could order at will at the table, or where you buy the ticket at the door. No flagging down servers, no waiting for the check, waiting to get checked out.

PyPI is clearly a passion project for the team and Python community in general so I can't imagine that anyone would allow this or die on this hill to save their salary.

You can compress LLM models and run them in less ram. This matters because most people don't have access to powerful GPU clusters.
Pdb also employs this approach for debug. I had wondered about pdb's implementation, when I saw it, I felt a little surprised.
And the case likely was "we swear it is very important for national security, trust us!" and that was enough. Search request is almost never refused, e.g. FISA court approves over 99% of them. And if the court already deemed the proof strong enough to do the search, surely it's strong enough to put a non-disclosure on it if asked.

No one’s rights to any of that is threatened by having to use your own devices/word of mouth to organize a labor union.
Haskell and JavaScript and the majority of humans call these things functions. That there exist a different context (a very specific academic context) where these terms have a slightly different technical meaning is completely irrelevant in the context of a normal user-level discussion on about programming languages.

One thing I've notices over the decades of improving as a software engineer that that the deeper I could understand things, the better abstractions I could produce where I didn't need to understand things -- which actually was the goal.

That is, the deep understanding of an abstraction is required so that you can confidently use it without having to worry about the possible side-effects that those with shallow understanding inevitably introduce.
Wandering is also a concern for children with autism, often very young children. They are often non verbal and drawn to water (0) which compounds the danger. Tracking solutions like AngelSense which is designed for children with special needs (with sensory sensitivity in mind so they don't strip it off) might also work well for people with dementia or Alzheimer's.

JavaScript is the most common language for building interfaces and being event-driven. These two aspects make it uniquely suited for hardware applications.

But even as a JavaScript (and specifically not TypeScript) zealot, I cannot get behind JavaScript on hardware. The reason we use C or C++ is specifically the control over the very limited memory and anything requiring a runtime or manages it’s own memory (a la garbage collection) is a non-starter. Firmware is written once and seldom updated. A node.js app is not a bad way to handle the server-side component on IoT given it’s event driven nature and access to low level constructs.

You don't have the right to roads. Similarly education is mostly implemented at the state level, there's nothing legally preventing a state from saying that public school is now K-8 only. Laws requiring people to go to school are kind of a mixed bag, and compulsory education laws usually only apply to children (and in some cases only to pre-teens). AFAIK there's no legal forms of adult forced labor, except prisoners who are exempt from some rights.
Strange star system may hold first evidence of an ultra-rare 'dark matter star
Finally a mainstream C/C++/ObjC compiler manages to catch up with compilers for PL/I, Pascal, Ada and other languages that support bounds checking.

Should probably be a safe x86_64 ABI (x86_64_safe?) as well for libraries that enforce bounds safety.

I think we're better off moving away from the mindset of pointers as memory addresses without any associated type (or alignment) or bounds, even (perhaps especially?) for low level systems programming. There's no reason why I/O space addresses (for example), machine registers, etc. can't have types or bounds.

It has trouble “reasoning” because that is a human phenomenon. These ML driven LLMs or “AI” systems are, truly, “word calculators.”

They will never achieve “reason” or understand what it means to do so; they are not human.

Sure, with enough input (in the form of LLM) it can predict what a human’s reasoning may look like, but philosophically, that’s a different thing.

Reason is not universal like how math is.
It's not even valuable now, it's why we use abstractions and rely on interfaces.

Credit where credit is due, the crypto space has some innovations in this area. Fully analog secret storage has a few options I have come across. One is where you punch/stamp your secret into a piece of steel. The blank is pre-scored with a template or letters so you can do this with just a hammer. The other is where you have little rings pre-stamped with letters/numbers which you then assemble onto a tube.

Ask yourself calmly , are the criticisms fair? Can you learn and improve from it? if it is yes, then just take it knowing that they are just helping you to improve. Equally important, check what is the intention of the criticisms ? is it done in public？ does he/she critisize in a way that insult you when he/she has better ways to say it? If it is intended to put you down, you should fight back even if the critisms are valid. Intentions matter.
