> Do you keep your face shaved baby smooth at all times?

I have a short beard (5mm) and the 3M silicon masks [1] still have a very tight seal. So I don't think a smooth shave is necessary.

I think it's also a question of education. You can read these sorts of blog posts and tinker with this type of development without using it at work. A lot of web developers are confused about basic things like the request cycle and I think the use of magic easy frameworks is partly responsible (also this is stuff you don't learn in CS school). Seeing how things work without dependencies or frameworks really helps.
>It's preventing other stores in their stor

and their OS. I don't care if they allow whatever on their store. I would like the option to go to other stores or even sideload my own apps without the store intervention. That's right now impossible without a) hacking the device or b) being a dev working on an app.

In principle you have calls to whatever method associated with a given object, which are indirect as there is not one statically-known target of the call, but in practise you can optimise a lot out <https://youtu.be/9epgZ-e6DUU?t=2543>.
Its human nature.

There are a few exceptions. Some are covered in the book "small giants". It's great.
A fun fact is that even in humble fracture mechanics one gets singularities at the crack tip using standard elasticity theory. A bunch of funny mathematics is needed to get around this. And, of course, the reality is that at a certain point you hit the atomic level so the tip is always 'blunted' at least one atoms length.
In this case, I'm going to an http-accessible website, which normally works with Netscape 4 (and 3). It even displays the correct 403 message page (incorrectly.)
I've learned the most from implementing papers. And being stuck. But me is me.

Since you mention SE, I'd choose a mini project in an area you love. The tooling you will learn along the way.

An hour a day is paradoxically not nearly enough, yet also a serious time investment of your day.

Maybe start by asking what exactly you want to learn? Applying ML to a practical problem, in user app? The math? The ideas?

Wish: I would be delighted to find an interesting job in the Baltic countries, especially Poland, I love that country.
I’m not an expert, but I just picked a project and used the OpenAI API — but with a wrapper that should let me swap out backends if/when I get a computer with a nice GPU.

Python is great for mixing API calls, document formatting, and other data scraping.

For myself, the problem was finding something interesting to do — in my case, generating videos from basic prompts.
The Netherlands has plenty of them. Tweakers.net is a price tracker for electronics and such (eg: computer parts, phones, laptops etc) and usually it's easier to find a shop cheaper than Amazon. I have some go to stores for my needs because their content is organised way better than Amazon. I also find some alternatives better than Amazon because they have free next day shipping, something that's not free on Amazon.
I remember a quote "Life is like Tetris, stop playing it like chess." I quite like the analogy: you don't have perfect information and what matters is how you deal with what you get.

I transitioned from infra to an AI research org within a large company and realized my need for practical PyTorch skills, like understanding tricks with multidimensional tensors, debugging exploding loss, and implementing math from specific papers, etc.

Finding resources for hands-on practice was tough, so my friend and I built Tensorgym (https://tensorgym.com), a site with practical ML exercises that increase in complexity.
> the exploit on a guest machine causes the host machine to crash resulting in a Denial of Service to other guest machines running on the same host. Additionally, the vulnerability could potentially lead to information disclosure

I don't quite understand how this issue can be a DoS vector, and 'maybe' lead to info disclosure...

If the only issue is that a machine check exception is thrown when it shouldn't be, then I don't see how that leads to info disclosure...
So it basically lists my activity feed from the past year with some Flash-like animation? Great, I guess... but lacks any kind of insights or any other sort of curiosities IMO - not sure about its reason to exist.

Also, though I don't want to be a downer-Debbie, but I'm sure the Octocat is a trademark of MS... but this project doesn't seem to be endorsed by them (TBH I could be totally wrong on this one)
So if a cup of water were in the centre of the earth, and every layer of the earth above the centre wasn't there to compress it, then it would explode out!

Why and how we do work trials at Linear
This is actually one of the failure modes described long ago. Paperclip maximizer. An AI that has agency, intelligence, and a goal. In the course of achieving its goal it completely neglects all other considerations. These unaccounted externalities are the danger.
Yes, but the dust from concrete or natural stone doesn’t seem to be anything like as dangerous as the dust from engineered stone.

(You still should use PPE and avoid inhaling it, of course!)
Yes, exactly. The mass around you is roughly evenly distributed and so it pulls on you equally in every direction.

And never mind the pressure from all of the mass around you ;)
Agreed.

>If you’re surrounded by an equal amount of mass in every direction

Which is a reasonable approximation for being 'out in space', but perhaps not an entirely intuitive one.

Entering "dinosaurs" in the search box and sorting by date is much faster, simpler, and more reliable than typing in all those words to an AI. That problem has already been solved decades ago.

I played around with my kid with supervision, and had her alone with ... midjourney, I think? Million weird dragons ensued.

I probably wouldn't give her access to chatgpt, but more for dislike of my kid's chats being stored with a corporation that will use it for something. That is the reason kid's email is protonmail and calendar is in nextcloud.

I would consider setting up https://ollama.ai/ ? You can run it locally and because it is smaller not as smart as state-of-art LLMs, it could train them better to be wary of the more advanced version.

wow, I came across this yesterday only. Cool stuff!
It's painful when you have a lot of peer dependencies in your tree and then you are forced to update one dependency for security reasons. That dependency may have updated peer dependencies that are not compatible with the existing ones, which forces you to upgrade other dependencies and so on, in a domino effect. If the dependencies you have upgraded to are not compatible with your code or, worse, you configuration, you might end up refactoring big chunks of your application.

This happens a lot with the frontend ecosystem (where everything is a peer dependency of either react or webpack / rollup / whatever build system) but can happen on the backend too (where many things are plugins / middlewares of express or whatever server you're using and carry a peer dependency on express).

This is made more evident by the fact that, in its latest iterations, the npm project decided to install peer dependencies by default and break if their collective ranges are not compatible (before it just warned), essentially breaking CI if peer deps are broken (I'm not saying it's a bad move, before that a lot of applications essentially failed less but more obscurely).

Another issue is the fact that the Node project moves quite fastly and new versions of dependencies that you must support for security reasons may be dependant on newer Node engines. A simple dependency migration, in that case, might become a migration towards a new version of Node, that 1) in corporate environments might not be available 2) might clash with other dependencies being still dependent on earlier versions of the Node engine 3) might deprecate or remove some of the APIs you were using.

All this makes sense per se: upgrading dependencies is a complex topic that shouldn't be taken lightly. What makes less sense, imho, is the extreme customizability of a Node project: millions of available small dependencies that you can combine however you like, fractally (your deps do this as well, and their deps and so on).

The ecosystem would probably benefit from more monolithic dependencies that are less customizable. Rome was a project in this sense - a monolithic package of pre-configured, opinionated dev tooling - but now the cat is out of the bag. Less experienced developers will bikeshed if they can and npm is the perfect ecosystem to bikeshed your way to thousands of dependencies that are not upgraded regularly and after a couple of years become a nightmare to upgrade in bloc. That's why people are starting to write zero-deps code.
(Biscuit author here) there is some support for revocation with the way revocation ids are implemented: there's one generated for each block of a token, so if you add the token's last block's revocation id to the revocation list, then all tokens derived from that one will be revoked as well.
We outline the strategies to manage revocation in https://www.biscuitsec.org/docs/guides/revocation/ but as you said, there is no magic here, adding revocation reintroduces state in the system.
As for why you would use this over JWTs: Biscuit avoids JWT's usual footguns, specifies an authorization language where checks can be carred by the token, it adds attenuation and third party blocks. You can build a lot more with those tokens

In addition to a hypothetical AI, it sounds like you are describing real companies here.
I'm not arguing about the differences, just that they're the same in one aspect. You're saying one is bad because it is anti-consumer. I'm pointing out that the other is the same level of anti-consumer, and that you have just not noticed.

Deal or no deal is not relevant to the consumer so it doesn't change how anti-consumer it is.

API changes frequently result in broken applications, largely due to the difficulty in monitoring their ripple effects. This article discusses the practical benefits of using Zod to enforce API stability and detect regressions through visual testing with Argos.
But still the "real men" on UK building sites and trades shun PPE. It's just a dumb man thing. I often wonder if they think every day there's a chance of a woman seeing and thinking how manly and hot they are for not even needing wimpy protection. Here the construction vehicles have a green flashing light on to indicate that the user has a seat belt on. They get round that by just buckling up then sitting on the belt. Tbh that one seems a bit silly but there's probably a good reason for it.
It’s not about motivation, it’s about doing whatever it’s been programmed to do, and grabbing whatever means it can to that end. Now something as puny as a large language model won’t have much reach (the current ones can’t even read the internet after the initial learning phase), but if you have a way to give the thing an unbounded goal, then it will use all means at its disposal to make that goal happen.

Heck, even if you just give it some hard maths problem, the machine might think of ways to turn the entire solar system into a giant computer, using us for spare parts along the way. That requires a sufficiently accurate model of the universe of course, as well as ways to harness that model (say the AI starts by convincing humans to build robots and factories — which would be quite easy if it’s good at playing the stock market game).

This is yet another attack on civilians by Russia.

Chrome achieved dominion because it was pushed heavily by Google abusing their monopoly. If Chrome had been fielded by a small software company (assuming they could have) it would have maybe reached parity with FF but it would have never gotten to the dominant position that it has today. All of those 'download Chrome here' and all of those articles that happen to move to the top of your search results add up to a pretty big competitive advantage.
I don't know, the power balance between corporates and flesh-people seems lop-sided enough that a little intimidation might be healthy.
There are a few conferences dedicated to ecommerce search. Mices is pretty good. I did not go there this year but I know some of the people behind it. Good community and lots of stuff happening.

Two points here.

- 25 million is really not a lot for most search engines. Something like Elasticsearch can easily deal with that if you deal with it properly. And there are plenty of equally capable solutions. I have worked with logging clusters that processes log entries by those numbers on a daily basis. A modestly sized cluster goes a long way for that. Bare metal is cheaper than cloud for this. But a couple of simple servers with decent CPUs and memory and SSDs should go a long way here. Start worrying once you hit a few hundred GB of storage used. Anything below that is easy to deal with.

- The key challenge with this volume is not performance but search quality. Building a competitive search engine is hard. You might have thousands of potential matches out of millions for any given query and your job is to pick the best 3, 5, 10 (whatever fits on your screen) ones. This is hard.

So, what makes for a good answer is the key question to answer. All the naive solutions for this problem put you at the bottom of the market in terms of competitiveness. If you can't do better, you are just another low quality search engine not quite solving the problem. The bar is high these days for a good search engine and most of the better ecommerce companies have highly skilled search teams working on this.
The above sentiment is posted many times on every such thread, it would be greatly enriched with am explanation of why you're not worried about the AI. Because worrying about B is not a rationale for not worrying about A.

Amazon has no direct presence in Switzerland, but you can order a fraction of its products from neighboring countries. Many products are not available, mainly because nobody wants to deal with customs once the product crosses the EU boarder.

Amazon itself never moved into Switzerland in the first place for many reasons (small market, unusual customs situation, relatively high salary for warehouse workers), and in the meantime the largest Swiss supermarket chain created an Amazon clone which became hugely popular pretty much immediately: Galaxus.ch

Sorry, but those "defects" are perhaps a minor inconvenience as they require a bit more of typing, but don't prevent you to write code. While I agree that one would prefer to have less inconveniences - and part of the design of Go tries to eleminate especially those - I strongly prefer them for the overall better safety of Pascal and its sucessors to the C language family. Unfortunately, too many programmers saw this like you and we ended up at todays mess.

In aviation autopilot nowadays can do much more than just "keeping the plane straight", it can also improve stability during maneuvers, or auto-land (mostly, ILS). But even aviation autopilot has limitations, which are well understood by the well-trained officers operating the plane as their only mission.

I see these problems with the naming:

- non-technical people have a "magic" grasp of the "autopilot" word that was passed down by movies, as a "set-and-forget" magical button that will make all the problems go away

- non-technical people won't read manuals (most of them, at least), so they are not aware of limitations, and WILL get distracted thinking AP will safely operate the car for them

- Tesla's AP, as of today does NOT handle most streets in most conditions well enough, and still has some caveats on highways, which are its intended operational domain; I understand FSD would do better, but still not a set-and-forget experience

So while I agree that it's being undersold feature-wise, I really think the issue is that "autopilot" is tied to unrealistic expectations in the mind of the average person, which easily leads to dangerous situations in the case of operating a 2-ton vehicle.
