Github does not claim to be vouching for anyone. At most they will delete malware and obvious scams if it happens to comes to their attention.
Drug lab is more probable than a gas leak.

As far as Mr. Marcus, no. He is too consistently and deliberately anti-LLM (despite any facts) to be worth engaging with.

As far as the underlying research paper: the researchers seem to be conflating "low-status English dialects" with "African American English". In particular, I have never considered the use of the word "ain't" to be associated with a certain race.

If the researchers assume "African Americans are low status" and conclude "African Americans are associated with low-status jobs", the conclusion is entirely about the researchers, not the LLMs.

The research paper's Git repo at https://github.com/valentinhofmann/dialect-prejudice does nothing to ameliorate these concerns.
Afaik, a random WiFi wouldn't be able to exploit local-execution bugs - it would have to use remote exploits, which are harder to pull off, or limit itself to network eavesdropping. USB drives, on the other hand, can trigger execution with local privileges - as well as exploiting bugs in hardware-handling system code, of which there are always plenty.
I use the GConnect implementation of KDE Connect and it works really well... except for the SMS forwarding.

It has all the usual issues of this kind of mirroring software: (1) once in a while it falls out of sync. (2) the messaging UI is really spartan (and for some reason doesn't support OS-level spell check?) (3) MMS support is either spotty or missing (4) notifications occasionally just stop happening.

I'm still grateful for it and use it everyday, but GConnect is #1 on my list of "once I get some time to do OSS stuff again".
There's also a paradoxical effect where paying for something can make you value it more, whereas if you paid for it once and now it's "free" you'll value it less.
I am an iPhone-only person complaining!
The physical USB-C connector sucks. They wiggle loose, stop connecting properly after just months of use, and are more delicate. I have 10-year-old lightning cables that still work great in my kid’s 6-year-old handed-down iPhone. Meanwhile I have been through multiple USB-C cables that last only months, fall out of the ports easily, and can’t be used to charge or even physically stay in the port of my Dell laptop reliably despite looking the same as all other USB-C cables.

If your cv is going to an agency or to a larger company they it will likely pass through an automated filter and if you are not tailoring your CV to the job description then you can be weeded out before a human even sees it.

I dont personally care for a multi page cv. I have enough to read as it is and often need to review 30 pre qualified candidates for a position. I would rather see tags matching my requirements than page 2.

Overall I'm looking for grounding in fundamentals and demonstrated growth. I dont care what high school or university you went to or your GPA. If you are going to mention a hobbie it needs to be something unusual that might spark a conversation. I'm not interested if your hobbie is hiking for example.

Unless the position is short term I'm more interested in knowing you can adapt and learn and grow and look for those qualities in your cv. I might care about specific frameworks and platform and version if the position to fill is short term.

If you feel you must mention shorter contractual work, try to cluser them in some way. I'm not interested in a laundry list of here is what I did for client n.

Best of luck with your search. With your years of experience I imagine you will find a job sooner rather than later.

WTF, this is amazing! I think this could be a great example of experimental mathematics, some examples for which are listed in SE (https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/264560/mind-blowing...) but this I believe is much better.

For example: can one prove the empty space in the middle or around +1 and -1? Polynomials of degree <= 5 with integer coefficients in [-4, 4] do not have any roots with nonzero imaginary parts in |r|<r_0, where r_0 seems to be around 0.7.

> visual indication would create an emphasis or distinction that is distracting

I don't agree with that. It's like saying in JavaScript the "const" -keyword is distracting because it creates a distinction between values that are constant and values that change during running the program.

The spreadsheet-app might have a "publish-mode" where the distinction between inputs and formulas is hidden but in general it helps that user can easily distinguish between between inputs and procedures.

Distinction does not imply distraction.

What is often distracting is the need to spend mental effort to make a distinction, to try to understand a spreadsheet.

You might as well say that gaslighting in general reduces distraction, because there are fewer distinctions you can make in the gas-light.

Glad to know there is a chance that they might keep the old outlook around.

I was actually thinking it was unpronounceable, un-searchable, and almost impossible to type.

I would love to see more work on array languages that map onto human languages, larynxes, and keyboards better.

(Obviously most programming languages are rather English-centric. But they also use a character set that is, for better or for worse, accessible to most of the world. More objectively, it’s also a small character set as such things go, and it’s a simple script in the sense that the characters look the same regardless of context, especially in the fonts used for programming. [0] Character sets like CJK are simple but not small. Arabic and Hebrew are small but not simple (Arabic more so than Hebrew). Even French is mildly complex.

I admit that “{ ⊃ ⍵ ⊇⍨ ↑⍒≢¨ ⍵ /⍨ 2≥ (⊂"aeiou") (+/∊⍨)¨ ⍵ }” is at least approximately equally foreign to everyone. But it’s hard for me to ask a coworker “hey, remind me what ⍒ does again?”

Counterfeit cash adds risk to your agents. It also increases the chance they'll be tied back to you if they're caught. Also the operation to get them the money is, in itself, an expensive and difficult operation where the people doing the work probably need to be paid in real money.

None of those drawbacks mean it's a bad idea - just that it's not simple and ultimately comes back to fundamental questions of value exchange. I.e. Most of the time it costs fewer resources to exchange things for money on the black market than arranging to have extremely high quality forgeries in the hands of your agents.

The cited paper seems to be really bending over backwards to find some trace of bias. Unwinnable game for LLMs.

I would recommend either updating your framework to allow for instrumentation (logs/metrics/etc) or showing how to add that instrumentation in "user defined workflow states" via an example application.

The current pitch, which is "this is a workflow orchestration framework that does not allow for any monitoring or observability" is a complete non-starter. You may want to consider how other projects keep track of workflow state and allow for it to be instrumented.

> It's well understood, graphs can be conveniently represented as matrices/tables/relations, and they are equivalent to edge lists.

Maybe I'm missing what you're saying here, but matrices are not "equivalent" to edge lists, they are abstract mathematical objects decoupled from whatever storage method you use in a computer. For example, SuiteSparse:GraphBLAS has four storage formats: dense, bitmap, sparse, and hypersparse. None of these are equivalent to edge lists.

Edge lists are a way to store a representation to a graph, but they are not a graph. Like a matrix, a graph is a abstract mathematical concept that has different methods of representing itself in computers. But mathematically, graphs and matrices are isomorphic, every graph is a matrix, and every matrix is a graph. The isomorphism extends to operations as well, every BFS is a matrix multiplication, and vice versa.

It's probably a matter of priorities, as well as cost v. benefit.

Obfuscation would've had very little effect on the outcome of this experiment, but might've changed the approach to involve dynamic instrumentation a little more. The most effective obfuscation I've seen is VM obfuscation, but that presents a significant performance impact. Obfuscation would also make legitimate debugging harder.

Preventing modified binaries is done at the system level, and could feasibly be implemented at the application level and is common, but this functionality itself could be both bypassed, or modifications could simply be implemented after security checks have completed (once again, through dynamic instrumentation libraries like Frida).

Engaging in a cat-and-mouse game with reverse engineers probably isn't in Meta's best interest.
