Personally, I've found that it's best to simply not use Facebook at all as a social media site, and to only use it as a chat app. So basically, I can keep a list of friends there, and I can chat with them through Messenger (the video chat, in particular, works quite well IME and is great for keeping in touch with family across continents), but I steadfastly ignore the "social media" stuff: I don't post anything on the "wall", I don't look at other people's postings, I certainly don't follow any political groups, etc. So I don't have to worry about things like blocking anyone's account, because the only accounts I'm exposed to are the ones in my friends list.
Agreed. Trend chasing is for growth investors. If you want to be a better technologist don’t follow popular mistakes. Instead ask better questions so that you can deliver smarter solutions.
That's not even a joke. If Google had a magical cancer cure, they would absolutely stop supporting it. The manager in charge of that project got their promotion, and the new manager brought in won't get any credit for maintaining an existing project, they need a new project they can put their name on.
I don't know if it is related to the changes to the code search (I use github exclusively as guest), but in the last year github got slower and heavier to the point that even scrolling a page showing a file of 200 lines is very painful. One with more than 2000 lines crashes the tab. I don't have the most powerful machines at my disposal, but what I have should be more than powerful enough to browse a repository. My intuition points at the syntax highligther and the file browser/go-to-symbol as possible causes. Anybody knows of some magic setting I can use to have a better experience? Right now I am forced to avoid using it as much as possible, and clone the repositories to browse them locally.

FAANGS get around this by creating problems that they will offer to solve.
What's worked well for me: Find a way to put what AI/ML on your critical path. Think of it like learning a new language: classes, lessons, and watching TV helps, but nothing works like full-on immersion. In the context of AI/ML, that means find a way to turn AI/ML into your full-time job or school. It's not easy! But if you do, you'll see endless returns.

If you don't have a solid enough footing to get a job in the field yet, the next best thing in my opinion: find a passion project and keep cooking up new ways to tackle it. On the way to solving your problem, you'll undoubtedly begin absorbing the tools of the trade.

Lastly, consider going back to school (a Bachelor's or Master's, perhaps?). It'll take far more than 1 hour/day, but I promise you, you'll see results far faster and far more concretely than any other learning strategy.

Good luck!

I don't get why that's a reduction in attack surface?

I guess DDOS attacks - if we're checking the session ID on every request then that's a potential attack if you just make up uuids and throw them at the server.

But JWT's themselves are an attack vector, surely? If there's any mistake in the encryption (or any vulnerability in the libraries used) then this is a door open very wide indeed.

The beauty of session IDs is the simplicity of it - very few moving parts, so very few opportunities for mischief. JWTs seem to be the opposite: lots of moving parts, lots of opportunities.
> If you have multiple channels that you could read from in a select call but none are ready, could you block that select instance and process a different process where other selects are potentially waiting?

From my experience, the most versatile approach for the wait on channels is best implemented as a spin lock with exponential backoff, up to a threshold that yields - effectively letting other threads perform their own select. Note that most of the time, if you are targeting latency, you would try not to get more workers than cores, meaning you would pin each worker to a core, thus not really benefiting from yielding on select.

> But there's balance between latency and throughput, if you send a big task you get higher latency to react to the next task but better throughput.

Agree, but that's mainly a client concern, the queue can propose multiple APIs. Most queues handle that with a "burst" mode, where you pop or push multiple messages at once instead of 1 by 1, to balance throughput vs latency.

Not sure if it can, but Kagi can:

• GitHub's previous code search was slow, limited, and did not support searching Forks due to indexing challenges. A new system called Blackbird was built from scratch to address these issues.

• Indexing code poses unique challenges compared to natural language documents, such as handling file changes in version control systems and deduplicating shared code across repositories.

• The talk discussed techniques used in Blackbird like trigram tokenization, delta compression, caching, and dynamic shard assignment to improve indexing speed and efficiency at scale.

• Architectural decisions like separating indexing from querying and using message queues helped Blackbird scale independently without competing for resources.

• Data structures like geometric XOR filters were developed to efficiently estimate differences between codebases and enable features like delta compression.

• Iteration speed was improved by making the system easier to change through frequent index version increments without migrations.

• Resource usage was optimized through techniques such as document deduplication, caching, and compaction to reduce indexing costs.

• Blackbird's design allowed it to efficiently support over 100 million code repositories while the previous system struggled at millions.

• Building custom solutions from scratch can be worthwhile when leveraging data structure to outperform generic tools for a domain.

• Anticipating and addressing scaling challenges at each magnitude is important to ensure a system remains performant as it grows over time.
This is a very interesting approach. I know it may be too much to ask, but would you suggest any actual practical and hands-on workshops, playgrounds, or courses where I could practice using NN layers for stuff like that? For example, conditional/weighted selection of previous inputs, etc. It feels like I'm looking at ML programming from another angle.

Google Cloud customers had their servers patched a month before the vulnerability was publicly announced. Your customers got the patch whenever your Linux distro pushed out the microcode update. But this doesn't mean that Azure and AWS also had to wait, I would expect Intel to provide the update to them some time before making it public.

Also, how many vulnerabilities relevant to public clouds does Google detect in one year, and does that outweigh the lack of support and care you can expect from Google?

I work on this, and I agree we should do more to improve ranking. Exact duplicates are supressed, but often forks have different versions of some files, so they come up in the results.

If you don't want to see forks, you can exclude them. Here's your same search, but converted to a regex and not including forks. I only get 3 results.

In around 2017 I had a scholarship at Wuhan University. During that time the university hosted a cultural fair for international students. What was most interesting to me (as someone from the UK) was that I met for the first time ever students from North Korea.

These students were smartly dressed (suited and booted), which in comparison to everyone else in casual clothes, made them stand out. They spoke excellent English and Chinese, they were polite and thoughtful. Each international group had to give a stage performance, to which the NK students performed a piece similar to Beijing Opera; it was without doubt the most well rehearsed, costumed and, vibrant performance of the lot.

It made me realise I had a very narrow perspective of NK.

I found sorting by recency to be helpful to see what mistakes users would make. There is not much feedback in open-source until after an api is released, at which point it is usually too late to fix problems. Seeing what users did, what frustrated them, and providing feedback helped make a better library. That's typically what internal teams get to do on a large corpus, like google3, and github is equally excellent for these insights.

An alert on recently indexed content that matches keyword subscriptions, ala google alerts, would be an excellent alternative for that use-case.

Technology operations is only concerned with delivery and/or up time. To be good at those you need constant real-time high visibility of operating state and business processes at various locations. When shit breaks you need to know as early as possible, drill down to a precise location, and determine who to contact for resolution. You also need to thoroughly document all of this for post mortem analysis delivered to the executives and monitor for operating trends to determine future operating expenses of current technology operations.

Tool knowledge is a super low concern. Awareness of what tools are available is generally sufficient.

The C function you linked calls _Fork, which calls __wasi_proc_fork, which calls __imported_wasix_32v1_proc_fork, which is the 'proc_fork' import in the 'wasix_32v1' module. The question is, what JavaScript function is provided for this proc_fork import when instantiating a WebAssembly module using WASIX? From what I understand about the WebAssembly JavaScript API, such a function is impossible to implement, which is why I'm curious how it was done here.

> I thought the general determination of the singularity came from the 1916 schwartzchild solution to einsteins field equations.

Only if you have a point mass. There is no reason to believe that point masses exists, it all being fields makes more sense. Einstein himself scoffed at the idea of such singularities existing, so those singularities aren't part of the core theory, just one of the possible results. (Not saying Einstein has to be right here, just that he didn't envision such singularities to exist when he created the theory)

I got a masters degree in ML at a good school. I will say there’s pretty much nothing they taught me that I couldn’t have learned myself. That said, school focused my attention in ways I wouldn’t have alone, and provided pressure to keep going.

The single thing which I learned the most from was implementing a paper. Lectures and textbooks to me are just words. I understand them in the abstract but learning by doing gets you far deeper knowledge.

Others might suggest a more varied curriculum but to me nothing beats a one hour chunk of uninterrupted problem solving.

Here are a few suggested projects.

Train a baby neural network to learn a simple function like ax^2 + bx + c.

MNIST digits classifier. Basically the “hello world” of ML at this point.

Fine tune GPT2 on a specialized corpus like Shakespeare.

Train a Siamese neural network with triplet loss to measure visual similarity to find out which celeb you’re most similar to.

My $0.02: don’t waste your time writing your own neural net and backprop. It’s a biased opinion but this would be like implementing your own HashMap function. No company will ask you to do this. Instead, learn how to use profiling and debugging tools like tensorboard and the tf profiler.

> I think maybe you are misrepresenting the thesis of the book

I certainly could be! It has been a while. But are you saying your understand was that sentience was achieved in the scrambler's evolution, and then later discarded in favour of "more teraflops", if you'll excuse my analogy? That wasn't my understanding - but I might well be wrong.

Even if so, the idea remains unconvincing, in fact more so. After a species achieves a certain domination in its environment - something you would very much expect from a civilisation capable of building spacecraft - evolution simply doesn't apply any more, not in any darwinian sense. Even with humans, evolution has basically stopped, or if it continues, does so under circumstances entirely under our control. I find it impossible to imagine any naturally-ocurring scenario in which such any sentient species is forced by evolutionary pressure to optimise away consciousness in favour of other mental tasks. They would instead, as you mention, simply augment their powers with technology - or deliberate genetic intervention.

It's still an interesting premise and definitely got me thinking. I also highly recommend the book. It's actually quite exciting, all this philosophy does not take up that much space in the text ;)
