I was wondering whether this project is safe to trust my secrets. Thanks for saving me time.

Besides, a challenge with secrets is hardware. Storing them on ordinary EC2 instances or else is insecure. That's why AWS Secrets, for example, use specialized hardware that are hardened for this use case.
You could consider doing a form of NAND to Tetris:

https://www.nand2tetris.org/

https://www.nandgame.com/

(The NAND Game is having you build the same stuff as NAND to Tetris, but you do it visually as circuit block diagrams, rather than writing a textual description of how the circuits would connect up. It also doesn't include the elaborate details of why you're building each thing, although since it's the same content and sequence as NAND to Tetris, you could read the book or listen to lectures while doing the NAND game to get more context.)

Alternatively, read Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software by Charles Petzold. A very bit-oriented book!

These suggestions might be controversial because they start bottom-up rather than top-down -- they're not really asking "how does the stuff that you already use work at a lower level?" but more like "suppose that we had logic circuits and math; what could we do with those that would eventually allow us to have computer systems?". Some people might advocate trying to find a way to experiment with things that are more closely connected to what you already do with computer programming.

Alternatively, you could do some kind of cryptography class or tutorial, as those extensively use bitwise operations (although the only one that is likely to be explained is XOR, because XOR mixes two bit sequences in a reversible way, which makes it natural for use in encryption and decryption).
The one where a box factory blew up because of a chemical safety issue was a real eye opener. Who knew that if you make cardboard boxes, you have to be aware that sometimes municipal water has too much oxygen in it and it will cause your machinery to randomly blow up, destroy the neighborhood, and kill 4 people one day? I had no idea.

The point is that it actually is insightful to think of it as callback sugar. That will give you better understanding of how the threading is handled when the calling method yields to the callee and conversely how it must be different when the caller isn't yielded.
Pretty simple to see how this happens.

Funny, but let's not underestimate how much class warfare there is in modern politics. Even if they do a great job using identity politics to lampshade it.

I think Occam's razor suggests the reasons of race are much simpler: race is considered a public statistic, one not trying to be hidden behind welfare, stocks, shell companies, tips, etc. Financial status is much more complex and varies based on COL. Easier statistic, easier to focus on.

Reddit is criminal for garbage notification to show red notification badge
Seems like this is ascribing an awful lot of value judgement on personality type. I’ve had very deep conversations with people across the spectrum, and met a lot of introverts who couldn’t, or didn’t want to, talk at more than surface level.
I was not aware he was ill. Always sad to hear people that are taken by cancer.

I didn't know Kevin, but am friends with Tsutomu Shimomura who worked with authorities to get him arrested. Tsutomu worked with me a bit when I was at Sun trying to get a cryptographically secure subsystem into the base system specification. It was fun to listen to his side of this story.

The 80's was a really weird time for computer enthusiasts, and it was the period of time when what was then considered the "hacker" community schismed into what today we might call "white hat" vs "black hat" hackers.

As a person who considered themselves to be part of that community I was personally offended by how the story of Kevin painted everyone who thought of themselves as a "hacker" as a criminal. It made for good story telling to make these folks "pirate" or perhaps more accurately "privateer" types in their swashbuckling ways of sticking it to the man. People would say, "Exposing security holes is like solving puzzles (which is fun) and important because if I don't do it, well somebody 'bad' will." And while I'm here, why not make it hurt for them a little bit to incentivize them to fix this problem quickly!"

I didn't disagree with the importance of pointing out security problems, but the flamboyant way it was done scared the crap out of people who were both clueless and in a position to do stupid things. As a result we got the CFAA and the DMCA which are both some of the most ridiculous pieces of legislation after the so called "patriot" act.

The damage that did to curious people growing up lost the US a significant fraction of their upcoming "innovation" talent. While not diminishing the folks who leaned in to the illegality of it.

This is the thing that got me. Where the heck is NoFraud getting its training data[1] and why is an email address even considered relevant to the safety of the transaction? The item was shipping to my home address which matches my CC billing address.

I'm still upset I fell for Markoff and Shimomura's self serving narrative about Mitnick in the 90's.
That seems like a... lot of work.

If (correctly) calling it “Open Core” was inoffensive, and if “Open Core” is commonly accepted, why would you object to it, calling it an “unwarranted nitpick"?

The fact is that the Open Core model is quite controversial, and people should be made aware that Infisical uses it. But the announcement uses “Open Source” as some of the very first words of the announcement, and “Open Core” is not mentioned even once.
Don't measure a fish by it's ability to climb a tree. The point of markdown is that it's dead simple, it lets you provide some basic structure and formatting but is still easily readable in plain text.
Glad we could find common ground! I’m not claiming that life in America is inherently better…just pointing out that things are pretty fucking good all considered.

I’m not in favor of a wealth tax though I frankly still don’t see any evidence that it improves society. Our edge as a nation comes from our insane technological and economic output. Squeezing the private sector too hard can drive away that innovation.

At some point in the future our economic machine eventually falters and we’ll loose reserve currency status. That’ll mean a massive drop in US living standards across the board…so I hope it happens way after we’re dead.
Type is very broad. Think of it as “text style”.

Typeface is a pattern for glyphs, like Helvetica.

Font is more specific. 12 point Helvetica Bold.

Font family is a group of fonts. It could have 30 specific Helvetica fonts. Different from typeface in that you’re picking specific ones. It’s an implementation versus an idea.

These words all have slightly different meanings in different contexts and they’re totally muddled in common usage.
Our capacity to sense some frequencies, or build transducers or transceivers for them is a complication that's beside my point. Audio, including infra/ultrasonics does not belong in a diagram labelled The EM Spectrum. ELF, VHF, microwave and light etc. all do.
Never trust so called experts
For the first argument I can't really speak beyond my field (physics, or specifically condensed matter physics), where I think it's fairly hard to be subtle. Often it's partial data presentation which allows for inverse Occam razor [1] (proposing fancy explaination instead of a simple one), which is why full data publication requirement are important (and seem to happen more).

In smaller sub (sub)fields sometimes fraud becomes large enough to self-sustain, like it happened with Majoranas [2,3] but even that kind of self-corrected.

I don’t disagree that VCs and VC money is garbage and offered no real value here. The thing I don’t get is that Maker Media took the money at all. I understand believing in your business, but Make: subscriptions weren’t the next social network. There wasn’t that much growth to be had, and I’m scratching my head trying to figure out why Dale Dougherty thought there was.
> My attitude -- and I acknowledge that this comes from a place of privilege -- is that I don't care to share my calendar with my employer.

Neither do I. Fortunately, my employer doesn't care about it anyway.

> Outlook feels designed around the manager's schedule.

That is 100% true.

However, relevant to this entire thread, it's typical to put "focus time" blocks on the calendar. If you set your free/busy status to "busy" on those blocks (which is the default anyway), then come focus time, MS Teams and Outlook will both show you as "busy" / unavailable for the duration. A little bit of automation, but it does a good job at deterring casual interruptions, as anyone who tries to "invite you" to a meeting, or ask you "a small question, 30 seconds tops" will have their Outlook tell them there's a scheduling conflict, and their Teams that you should not be disturbed and won't get the notification anyway.
>However, I am a strong believer in multi-tenant architectures as they allow to scale while mutualizing the resources (I personally think it's single tenant at scale is non-sense in term of ecology) and we will invest into maintaining a multi-tenant architecture.

Our products use multi-tenant architecture in the form of 1 database file per company, and a single database server for everyone (by default). It's great for data isolation, as we can't accidentally leak sensitive corporate data from one company's account to another (say, a missing WHERE). It's also great for indexing, as DB queries only touch small subsets of data. And it works well for most businesses (10-100 employees). For large companies (not that many of them), if we detect a lot of activity which stresses the main database server, we have infrastructure in place to migrate them to dedicated servers, transparently to users. It's worked pretty well so far.
I had a similar thought, his social engineering abilities were very strong. If there was one person in the world willing to fake their own death to engineer access to something, it would have been him. A sad day.
He works for 5 minutes because he is never hired again because they have rights to his likeness and can just drop an animated him into any movie. They could make him the main actor in a block buster and he gets $0.
If you won’t say what you mean, there’s no other choice!
Yes. That's what you get from a well-integrated system. At work, I can open PDFs and Excel sheets and Powerpoints directly within Teams with a single click (and, one or two extra clicks to download an off-line copy).
Yes. People were afraid to put their credit card into early websites because they were afraid of theft. It took decades to convince people it was 'safe'. Only thing that makes it safe these days is the fact that now credit card companies won't hold you responsible for the theft. That theft is then offset and socialized by the insanely high APYs.

The oil companies rebranded themselves as energy companies because they're definitely not stupid: if they can take their existing capability and use that to enter a whole new area, they'll do it.

In particular because there's no actual competition between geothermal power and the petrochemical industry: oil is far and away a transportation fuel (and a bunch of other vital things), whereas stationary power is coal-generation.

If they can take drilling expertise and turn it into a geothermal power concern cost efficiently, then they'll do that.

The word "web" is actually defined as "a complex system of interconnected elements." There is nothing to argue.

In spoken human language we have this concept called connotation, "web" being associated with http servers and clients is one example of this.

There is no rule that a word must only have one connotation, and Gemni is very much a "a complex system of interconnected elements".

So basically, this is just your opinion and you aren't the authority on what the word "web" means, and it's okay to tell people that the word is often used in a context they might not have known about, but claiming that "there is nothing to argue" is not correct.
The same has been done to me by the same systems both physical and electronic. I have mental and physical scars to show.

I was forwarding Google Voice SMS messages from a second account so I could remain in contact with old friends (I ported my number I've had since high school). The only reason I had to create a second account was because I switched to Google Fi, which forbids your main account from also having a Google Voice account.

Apparently actively using this service does not count as an "active login", because that account was disabled and my number was given to someone else. I only found out when a friend showed me screenshots of my number texting them "who is this?", despite having my main email and phone number as backups for the second account. I cannot get that number back, and support was no help.

It's early days, but the simplest use case has been to improve employee productivity (Github Copilot, ChatGPT etc.). The Stripe CEO just tweeted that over half of their employees are using an internal LLM tool they built (folks who build internal tooling know how hard it is to drive adoption to a non-mandatory tool): https://twitter.com/patrickc/status/1681699442817368064?s=20

There are other companies which are doing some crazy experimental things which may have a large impact. For instance, Truveta is cleaning up on millions of medical records, training a model on that data and using that to drive research about patient care. Too early to tell if LLMs will actually transform companies beyond slight bumps in productivity, but to me, it feels like the cloud computing moment from 12-15yrs ago.

Some people see it as an inferior version of Salesforce, which goes beyond a CRM. But for a dev who loves open source & is looking for something that does only what a CRM does, it looks surprisingly good!

I have to give it a try :D
Personally, I disagree with you. I have absolutely no idea why OpenAI should benefit from copyrighted material without paying authors for the usage. If everything OpenAI did was opensource, I'd probably feel differently about it, but it's totally not, so I really disagree with the view that they should deserve special treatment here.

I remember seeing interviews and reading many comments saying that that the copyright data shouldn't be an issue because once the model is trained, it kind of "forgets" the copyrighted material and we're just left with pure, unfettered intelligence...it's not a fuzzy jpeg of the web etc...

I think the copyright angle is on the money though, this is why Bard isn't as good, just as Adobe Firefly isn't as good as Stable Diffusion. The inputs aren't as good so the outputs aren't either.

Google can't come out in public and accuse OpenAI of blatant copyright infringement for legal reasons, but I bet internally, they know what's up.
The lack of remote-operated safety valves shocked me the most.

I don’t know much about Denmark but it sounds like a great place!

I’d be concerned that policy in Denmark wouldn’t work in the US due to the enormous differences in size, culture, geography, etc.

That’s why I think it really only makes sense to compare G20 countries or entire regions like US:EU
But both Slack and Microsoft operate in the EU market as well. Slack is trying to buy itself some breathing room by convincing the EU to go after Microsoft.
Thanks for the reply!

I think I may be less exposed to the risk of losing my job to an RIF due to belonging to an especially small but necessary niche (cryptography).

That perspective is an interesting one that I’ll need to devote more thought to. It seems particularly interesting in the light that the most lucrative and numerous employment in my field (large financial institutions) tend not to provide significant raises or internal mobility. The oft-stated workaround is to leave the company for 6 months.
I feel this pain. Package management on Python has slightly improved over the years, but it’s still not ideal. Add Nvidia to the mix, and it gets even worse.

Yeah, I get it. But buying stuff you want but can't afford is not what anyone else means by 'gambling'.

Compulsively spending your mortgage payment on model trains, heroin, or hookers is harmful addictive behavior. But it's not gambling.
It's simply the standard "Power Law" distribution kicking in with wide error bars.

Note that #8 SQL is already under 1.5%. The error bars look like roughly 0.3%-0.4%. Given that, the ordering of everything below the top 10 has a very high random chance to it.
As a country, it is important that you have smart spies and the way to recruit is to identify potential candidates when they are young and nurture them.

We do cull cats. With numbers in the millions killing billions of native animals per year and already contributing to many extinctions, nothing is going to work except for science fiction bioweapons.

Sports programs used to be a net income source, but I think that ended with Title IX, because schools became forced to spend on non-income-producing programs.

However, athletic programs are still given tremendous emphasis by schools because success in sports is effective in attracting donors. Whatever administrators say, college athletics is not at all about building character. It's about drawing money.
Nah. Just a random Thinkpad.

I think Apple Silicon is going to one's experience worse here, not better - because of the "Apple" part.
That's a great question. I think the answer is: no. They probably agree. I think, like, 80% of this is just art. There's a notion of fleshing out the constructor/destructor attack surface, which someone on Mastodon pointed out was pretty similar to how deserialization exploits work (they're chains of classes you can only instantiate and not directly invoke methods on), but this might be the only time this particular variety of attack ever happens again.

It's funny reading this thread full of people saying the attack is not that big a deal. It's a really big deal! It's just not a big deal for the reason people assume vulnerabilities are a big deal. :)
