Socket (https://socket.dev) | Staff Software Engineer & Security Researcher | SF or REMOTE | Full-time

If you specialize in making computers do things they’re not supposed to do, please drop us a line.

Socket's mission is to help developers and security teams to ship faster and spend less time on security busywork. Thousands of organizations use Socket to safely discover, audit, and manage their open source code. Our customers – from Figma to Vercel – absolutely love Socket (just read their tweets to see for yourself! [1])

The company was founded by Feross Aboukhadijeh [2], who has worked in open source software for 10+ years writing software that receives more than a billion downloads per month. We have raised $25M in funding [3] from the best angel investors, operators, and security leaders in the industry.

We're a small team (~15) but we're already depended on by top companies like Figma, Vercel, Brave, Replit, Expo, Metamask, a massive telecom in Canada, as well as three massive AI companies that you've definitely heard of ;)

I was pointing out that the law you pointed to specifically requires that "the person does any unauthorised act in relation to a computer".

My comment was to highlight that discussion of "authorised" does not make sense, strongly suggesting the specific law you mentioned was not relevant.

You give an example saying that I can't disclaim liability for software which deliberately causes damage. That may be true, but what law am I breaking?

Can I distribute an "rm" tool which will let you do "rm -f /"? Can I disclaim damages for using that tool? I really hope so!

Your "it gets installed" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. Who installed it? You? Why did you install it? Did you read the documentation to learn about any changes? What counts as sufficient notice for the potential of causing damage?

But back to the chilling effect - if I did NOT deliberately put something in your software package intended to cause damage, but a company thinks I did, must I go through a lengthy and expensive lawsuit, or can I point to the lack of warranty, etc. and have the suit dropped?

Because if I can't easily get the suit dropped, then a company can use the threat of a lawsuit to get me to make changes to the code, eg, to "fix" the code they think I maliciously added.
Sorry if I wasn't clear, internally we've been talking about it a lot, but I forgot that it doesn't have such a solid definition outside of our work. Thankfully, we try to define it in section 7.3 of the NLLB paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.04672.pdf

The tldr is that if you say:
"Thank you for this job offer." you wouldn't want it to be (mis)translated as "Go F*k yourself.". But if you do say "Go F yourself", you still want it to be translated as that.
Honestly Drupal is solid for a number of things, and in terms of getting a CRUD type app/site up it's probably still one of the fastest ways to do it for the non-technical. Actually pretty cool that you can get APIs straight out of the box this way.

That being said, Drupal was initially a forum/blog and it definitely seems somewhat out of place in the modern web landscape. One of its Achilles Heels is that its rendering layer is notoriously slow and overall it's heavy. It's module system also doesn't mesh well with PHP's typical request/response execution model from a performance perspective (anyone who's spent time tuning PHP opcode caching for this knows what I mean).

That being said, the content type and field system is still great and it would be great to see a more generalized version of this concept. This is another area where the implementation is pretty heavy on the Drupal side. Things like this have ultimately limited adoption and not having a clear migration path from D7 to D8 didn't help either.

Those are all great questions. I will add to the docs to explain more details later, but for now:

1. It is value based, like C. There is obviously passing by pointer, but you do that explcitly.

2/3. Memory is manually managed. To make this easier, like Zig and Odin, everything that allocates should take an allocator as a parameter. This allocator can be the general purpose heap allocator, or it can be an arena, ring buffer, or even tracked allocations that can be freed all at once. More details on that to follow in the documentation.

4. It does have multi-threading support, thanks to the atomics WASM proposal. The standard library currently has support for basic multi-threaded primitives like mutexes, semaphores, and condition variables. Note, there is currently not async/await or any kind of concurrent execution.

5/6. It does have modern type features like sum types. It has Optional(T) and Result(Ok, Err) out of the box. That is the preferred method of error handling.

7. It is mostly statement oriented, but there are features like Elixir's pipe operator (|>) and if/else (value if condition else otherwise) expressions.

> 1.8 billion rides per year for a 8-million city works out to less than 0.7 rides per day per capita. I can guarantee that Houston has more road trips.

That's just the subway. Add another 100 million for MNRR and LIRR, plus another 100 million for PATH and NJT. And those are all post-COVID numbers; you can roughly double each to get an actual picture for the volume of mass transit needed to run NYC.

> I'm using the data for the Greater Houston Area (pop: 7.2 million), which matches what people think when they say "Houston".

The NYC Combined Statistical area has 23 million people in it[1]. Nearly as many people commute into just Manhattan as live in the actual city of Houston[2]. You simply do not get those numbers with road-based transit.

It doesn't matter how you cut this: Houston is operating at a fractional scale, and will continue to do so as long as roads dominate its development patterns. Houston's government appears to be aware of this[3].

Its really simple:

The PMs/designers and everyone involved need a big project for all of them to get to the next level.

Otherwise what else would they do if there just isn't a big impact project available to work on? There would be no way to advance in their careers.

The incentive of any individual in an organization is not to please the users of the product, its to make the manager happy and meet the job matrix of the next level.

Those incentives drive the product outcomes and the product mirrors the organization
It’s a specific part of Zeiss, it’s not like they bet the whole group on it. It’s symbiotic because they help ASML get better machines, which helps ASML get more money, a part of which is funnelled back to its suppliers. In the end it’s a risk assessment: what is the expected value if we get closer to a single partner, compared to trying for a broader market. Also, bear in mind that both sides have to keep the other working: the customer without suppliers is just as dead as the supplier without customers.

So: they depend on each other, and they get more business and make more money by getting closer and have incentives to help the other improve (so it is not an adversarial relationship). Hence, symbiosis.
It fits the pattern of Tesla choosing gimmicky features that function poorly. For cosmetic changes, whatever; but it's idiotic to do this with safety related features. Being potentially unable to exit the vehicle in an emergency is as irresponsible as hiding the windshield wiper controls for no good reason.
I have to call BS on the F-150 to Golf comparison. My 2018 Golf has nowhere near the interior space of an F-150. The Golf is (fairly) comfortable, but as a taller person, an F-150 is absolutely luxurious in leg/knee/head room compared to the Golf. It is like riding on a couch vs. being strapped into a race car. Not to mention that there is just about zero rear seat leg room in the Golf when adjusted to my driving position, while an F-150 my 90lb dog can stand on the floor of the vehicle back there.

ICE engines may be more complex, but batteries are still more expensive than a small ICE engine. Have you seen the cost of a replacement battery for a Tesla? $12-20k all day long. You don't need a massive, high performance ICE engine to charge up batteries on the go, or to get your car down the highway. Meanwhile I can get a high performance crate engine for less than half that cost ($5-6k all day). Less than half that for a basic, economical 4 banger.
I also have this irrational anger, but as a result of PL/SQL. It's also an objectively hideous operator that is inconvenient to type.

Prettier always makes me want to rage-quit. Thankfully I'm at a career level where I usually have the power to dictate it be removed. A formatter that does not understand or allow for careful alignment to make concepts clear is a formatter I don't want near my code.
>The problem is, our brain is constructing reality, it can 'make things up', this has been shown in countless studies. And now that we have AI doing it too, it seems like easy association to make.

I'm with you until this pair of sentences because I believe you are confusing ontological subjectivity (which is fine, for our purposes) with epistemic subjectivity (which isn't).

Hallucination is an ontologically subjective phenomenon, requiring an experiencer to experience it. "Making shit up" similarly implies an "intentional stance" (Dennett), wherein the AI agent is constructing a world model as it interacts with the world. That isn't required to arrive at a "stochastic parrot" that spouts nonsense.

"Generating nonsense" is closer to what the AI is doing. It's generating text that we are unable to interpret, not revealing its errors of reasoning through its speech. It's not reasoning; it's generating tokens.

tl;dr: Ontological vs epistemic subjectivity. There's no reason to affirm AI is hallucinating because there's no reason to affirm its experiencing anything.

(Please forgive my multiple edits; it's a clumsy-words kind of day.)

I have the same feeling.
> But my experience is that it raises the floor by a large amount and lowers the ceiling only a little.

I mean, I agree that that's true at least in relative terms, but in my experience that's because it raises the floor from "bottomless pit" (eg IOCCC entry quality) to "much worse than we usually do", whereas lowering the ceiling a proverbial meter or two still means hitting my head on it (there's a upper bound on how readable code can be when you need to actually read it).

More efficient to have the drones launch from the ground rather then loiter.

Eliminates the need for the vtol too which is just a lot of extra effort to get right.

This is sort of like the segway, the loitering/vtol tech is more for marketing: https://maddox.xmission.com/segsuck2.jpg

And cheap? I saw carbon fiber on that thing. The article says an Iranian drone might cost 10,000 right after it says that one of these things costs over 100k.

It's def better than a patriot but still stupidly expensive.
Too Many Cooks, I think, originated on YouTube.
The question that should be asked by the experts are "which of our economic indicators is wrong?"

Instead of "why are millions of people acting irrationally"?

The behavior we're witnessing is perfectly predicted by models with certain underlying inputs. In particular inflation being higher (or perceived as higher) than what is reported.

If I'm interpreting correctly, you don't understand but you are sure you don't agree, and you do some kind of collaboration without an example and say you are exposed to a lot of ideas without examples either.

I'm sorry, what is the substance of your comment?
No, it's not a hack. You can query different things about the user agent and serve different CSS based on those queries. Anyone calling it a hack is ignorant, it's a necessary part of producing responsive designs.
This seems to be one of those problems that entirely disappears by ditching SPAs.

Using solutions from the Hotwire or htmx family would mean that a query is just a server query - making those fast is a better-understood problem.

As a former Contracting Officer in the Air Force, I utilize my experience on both sides of the negotiating table to help IT companies Find-Write-Win both Federal and State level contracts.

I have helped numerous companies with contract capture, bid writing, federal competitive analytics, and pricing agreements with over $108M in career wins.

the most common challenges I’ve seen are a lack of:

- Streamlined procedures around Contract Capture,
- Outreach to Contracting Officers,
- Access to the best deals (oftentimes requiring Pricing Agreements).

After working nearly 10 years in the industry I have developed a holistic offering to government contracting. Including automations and LLM’s across scraping RFX’s, filtering for scope, and developing a base proposal.
