While I like this tech I am hesitant to use it as a router since it's flaky and unreliable. Instead I would use it as a filler of gaps.

LLMs are just not the right thing to _be_ search. Just like I use the LLMs to generate prompts, I would use LLMs to help guide my search terms to cover what my first query missed. This can help to deSEO my searching too. This is really useful for deep topics of course.

OpenAI _could_ have approached the problem with this mindset.
That's pretty cool. How is cheating in TF2 in 2024 by the way?
"utilizing the AMD Ryzen™ AI Software* sounds really unappealing! Like when companies don't realise you think their software to leverage hardware is bad and you'd prefer being able to use features via something generic

I’m currently migrating a fairly large Vue.js 2 + django rest framework app by moving all the front end to the django backend templates using apline.js and htmx where necessary.

I’m loving evey moment. It’s thousands of lines of code and dependencies removed. It’s faster.

I feel like I’m waking up from a bad fever dream that was web development for the last 10+ years. What were we thinking?
I was around then too and people forget that AMD also had GPU compute APIs.

The difference is AMD killed theirs to use OpenCL and NVIDIA kept CUDA around as well.

Personally, I didn’t find the Minecraft demo very impressive, aside from the speed of inference. 20fps is quite an achievement, generating Minecraft screenshots, not as much.

>To be entirely honest, the whole semantics debate around "BuT iT'S nOt AuToMaTiC" misses the forest for the trees and shouldn't be given much space. As another person said, a distraction.

It's not a distraction. The government is always trying to reduce functionality of available firearms as well as increase costs. There is a huge difference between fully automatic weapons and semiauto. Nearly all guns on the civilian market are semiautomatic, aside from some antique designs, and full auto weapons manufactured prior to the NFA. I don't agree with the NFA's infringements on our 2A rights but I think a fair number of gun enthusiasts might agree with restricting full auto somehow. Semiauto is a big step down from that, and going away from semiauto is a HUGE step down from there.

The AR-15 has been vilified to an unfair extent. There is no particular feature about it that makes it more dangerous than other semiautomatic rifles that shoot ammunition in the same ballpark as far as caliber and velocity. Moreover, the whole point of having a weapon like that is for it to efficiently and accurately hit whatever you need it to hit. The only real way to protect your rights is to be adequately armed. The Founders knew that. The right solution to be secure is not to ban guns, it is to get more guns in more hands. Without a gun you will always be victim to someone who is bigger than you, groups of thugs, and any criminal who doesn't let the state dictate his choice of weapons.

Of all of those reasons, malicious compliance and plausible deniability seem the least likely to me. With and from what, exactly?

I get being upset at Apple for e.g. 30% take on in-app purchases. But what exactly would they be trying to do by making it complex to control their speakers?

I’ve been in this situation and the problem is basically that the various internal clocks aren’t getting good quality information to keep them in sync. Light, food, and exercise and the timing of them have a big impact.

> Apparently there are amplifier chips which can do that smart regulation internally but Apple decided to do it in software for whatever reason.

> Apple has been caught sabotaging third-party repair multiple times and this sort of design is totally in line with that strategy.

Using fewer specialized hardware chips to dynamically regulate speaker temperatures and implementing it in software seems like it would be more repair-friendly, not less. Unless you meant this in some more general sense that doesn't include repair, per se?

I will be graduating in about 5 months and would love to find a nice junior
developer role at a nice startup that focusses on impact. I have been
employed at a startup for more than a year and its a python shop.

I have a portfolio site at https://home.alles-tools.com/ where you could
interact with all the applications that I have made. I love creating or
making software that either benefit me or someone I know. It keeps me
motivated and I get to actually finish it.

What's the hardest problem that I have worked with? Making the multiplayer
part work for my tictactoe game. Why did I make it? because I was bored at
university. Concurrency management is hard and its even harder to debug it. I
had to make sure to synchronize critical parts of the game where I update the
game state.
Here's how I see it:

Core issue (okta's approach):

* They concatenated userId + username + password for a cache key
* Used BCrypt (which has a 72-byte limit)
* The concatenation could exceed 72 bytes, causing the password portion to be truncated

Why this is problematic:

* BCrypt is designed for password hashing, not cache key generation
* Mixing identifiers (userId, username) with secrets (password) in the same hash
* Truncation risk due to BCrypt's limits

Password storage should be separate from cache key generation. Use a random salt + appropriate hash function and for cache keys - use HMAC or KDF w/appropriate inputs

Lots of boards have pushed out CEOs who performed poorly enough: Apple, Disney, HP, IBM, Twitter, and Yahoo are well known. But the performance is expectations around market share, profits, stock price, or dividends, not burning as much money as possible on payroll.
I wonder if anyone's done a study on those different styles, clustering them with other things like type of work or personality traits.

I anecdotally associate "those people" with either:

1. Job roles (e.g. Sales) or personalities that are accustomed to interactively pushing people to do things for them

2. People who don't feel safe assuming that I can/will help.

3. Someone struggling to describe their problem up front, so they aren't sure what to place in my metaphorical inbox

4. There are multiple people they could reach out to for help, and they're trying to determine which person might react soonest. (But they aren't using other strategies like posting their problem in a channel and @-mentioning multiple potential helpers.) Their problem may or may not merit the kind of latency they're looking for.
I would definitely at least take a look at the "Received from" in SMTP envelope to confirm the physical location of the last real mail server hop (or all of the public ones).

That's great for confirming the physical location of the SMTP server connecting to your own server.

More than a decade of experience in creating innovative products and co-founding startups within the computer vision space, I have a strong background in developing object tracking in 2D and 3D, facial features interpretation, and eye gaze tracking. My current project involves eye-tracking technology for fighter pilots, designed for use in both simulator cockpits and helmet displays. Previous projects include systems to optically grade student assessments via Chromebooks and WSAM in real-time, 3D multi-camera tracking of body poses, visual interpretation of emotional affect in both humans and animals, and technology for measuring pupil responses. I also have a background in medical computer vision applications, including automated computation of ejection fractions from cardiac MR and echocardiogram data, as well as interpretation of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) images.
Just like how ROCm is supposed to be competitive today and it isn't unless you have an army of grad students to look after your data center cards.

I tried using AMD Stream and it lacked documentation, debugging information and most of the tools needed to get anything done without a large team of experts. NVidia by comparison could - and was - used by single grad students on their franken-stations which we build out of gaming GPUs.

The less we talk about the disaster that the move to opencl was the better.

Progress is exponential. So looking in the past and saying we should be content with a 90% improvement is misleading, because it is dwarfed by how much more potential there is.
"“History of incompetence” really needs some citations"

Former Apple tech, G3/G4 iBook/PowerBook days. Crates of logic boards shipped in - most static-killed due to sand inside the crates. These were supposed to be used for repairing units that failed fresh from the manufacturing line.

NVRAM consistently killed itself.

Let me get out of my date of professional work in Apple repair - Trashcan Mac Pro - That one was very incompetently-designed given how badly people wanted to upgrade it and just could not due to space and thermal constraints.

One of my friends about 4 years ago bought an iMac, 24" model. FIVE RMAs due to hard drive failing. They kept replacing it with the same drive brand and type, and likely from the same manufacturing batch, because that's an INSANELY high RMA rate for a single unit for the same piece of hardware.

And that's just MY horror stories, and only from the HARDWARE perspective.

And Cashmere, Apple's diag software, was a total piece of crap that couldn't tell you half of what was truly wrong with the system. So there's a bit of software horror for ya. Most Apple techs were shooting blind unless it was a specific problem. And the poor OS imaging techs - it's fun having school system laptops that are LOCKED to a specific OSX version and can NOT be upgraded. Not for security, NOTHING. You have to install that specific image for that specific school district, and ship it out. The machines can not be upgraded on the OS side. What a security nightmare that must have been.

Shall I keep going? I'm sure if I thought hard enough I could find more incompetence which I hated while working as an Apple repair tech.
A lot of personality and talents etc are determined by DNA.

Humans are not born as mental "blank slates" that are completely formed by their upbringing.
If the layoffs are announced by a new CEO being brought in to right the ship, that's totally fair. If it's the same CEO who inflated the payroll just a few years ago and is now with eyes downcast claiming "full responsibility" at the all hands when their own highly-compensated decisionmaking turned out to be a totally-unforseeable strategic mistake, then it's rather less understandable.

Perhaps the CEO learned from their mistakes and is still the right leader, but their compensation structure should be forward-looking enough that if they steered the company this far wrong along the way, then their pay incentive will naturally reflect that poor outcome. But it seems that, for example, Boeing's ousted CEO has made quite the fortune despite presiding over history-making damage to shareholder interests.
Never underestimate development eco-system. Ballmer was famously repeatedly shouting developers many times in one of the Microsoft Windows conferences and now he's one of the richest persons. Microsoft also got out of their ways by introducing WSL for running Linux alongside Windows when they realized the majority of OS running their Azure cloud are Linux.

Ok so why switch?
if corp IT isn't seeing the connection attempt then some thing is blackholing the traffic. If the IP it's being sent from was caught sending spam anytime in the past (like even decades ago) it might be on a list. check via https://mxtoolbox.com/

There's also https://sender.office.com/ for o365.

The other question is how far is it getting before getting blackholed. if you're lucky "mtr -P 587 -T smtp.office365.com" from the company email server from might tell you who down the path is actually dropping the packets.

If there's budget for it, you can run a VPS in Azure and send it through that, connecting to 587 which is authenticated (25 is blocked), or use Sendgrid/similar that partners with Microsoft.
Last year I bought an M1 Pro used, but the last MPB I had was an early 2015. I just didn't bothered upgrading, in fact the later Intel models were markedly worse (keyboard, battery life, quality control). The Apple Silicon era is going to be the PowerPC prime over again.
You’re missing something that science-as-religion made people forget. Science is just one type of knowledge that isn’t even how most people learn most knowledge most of the time. We mostly learn by testimony from sources we trust mixed with experiential learning. Works fine. We also have science.

So, we first need to get back to the pre-Hume period where godless, materialistic science wasn’t the answer to all questions or the only way forward. Second, we must be able to say what we’ve always known: it’s OK for science to say “I have no idea. We might never know that because we can’t scientifically observe or test it.” That’s what they should say about the origin of life.

What can we know? We can indirectly observe the attributes to take guesses. If not knowing, we can work with God’s design rather than against it. Really, only revelatory knowledge… the Creator telling us… will tell us anything close to the truth. We’ve claimed both.

I already posted evidence for the Bible being the Word of God in this thread. People who follow Jesus Christ treat key claims as axioms before layering reasoned statements on top of those and scientific observations. Unlike other faiths, we’ve found no contradictions. Unlike godless science with its axioms, ours lead us somewhere where every action in science should reflect godly character and love for others as commanded.

Then, there’s the intelligent design evidence coming from complexity and systems theory. Universe, natural laws, and organic life make the best creations of humans look dumb and inept in comparison. Especially how the universe runs perfectly. Best I’ve seen humans claim is nine 9’s reliability on something way, way simpler. They couldn’t sustain it either.
And why do you think that mission is higher priority than shareholders interests? Do they even have any legal obligations to follow that mission?

As opposed to the “security” of closed source software? Where severe vulns are left in as long as they aren't publicized because it would take too much development time to justify fixing and the company doesn't make money fixing vulns - it makes money creating new features. And since it isn't a security-related product any lapses in security are an "Oopsy woopsy we screwed up" and everyone moves on with their lives?

Even companies that are supposed to get security right have constant screw ups that are only fixed when someone goes poking around where they probably shouldn't and thankfully happens to not be malicious.
Warning shots across the bow in private are the polite and responsible way, but malicious actors don't typically extend such courtesies to their victims.

As such, compared to the alternative (bad actors having even more time to leverage and amplify the information asymmetry), a timely public disclosure is preferable, even with some unfortunate and unavoidable fallout. Typically security researchers are reasonable and want to do the right thing with regard to responsible disclosure.

On average, the "bigger party" inherently has more resources to respond compared to the reporter. This remains true even in open source software.
which somehow rarely/never happens. I suspect they may have some contractual obligations to hold on stocks, otherwise market may start panicking seeing CEO aggressively selling stocks.
In that case the mistake was the overhiring rather than the layoff. And it's hard for a board to admit that the entire plan (which they probably approved) was a mistake from the beginning. If the CEO fails at making the plan work in an obvious way, he's probably out.

Edit: As I understand it, he's out if the board thinks they will recruit someone who would have done better.
I'm 53 and one of them is sideways and has been sideways for 30-odd years, it still doesn't hurt and until it does it can stay where it is, only the teeth dentists have worked on have problems.

If it suddenly becomes a problem 10 years from now I'll be really surprised.
> Apple has been caught sabotaging third-party repair multiple times and this sort of design is totally in line with that strategy. Making the design overly complex and fragile (and spending extra $$$ in the process), just to make it harder to correctly use, seems to be a common theme.

This, and the nannying nature of their OS is why I could never have a mac as a primary machine. I'm always slightly mind-boggled at the amount of technical people that do. But then I guess many just live in an IDE which works fine.

tbh the WebRTC performance is basically the same network performance as websockets and was way more complicated to implement. Maybe the webrtc perf is better in other parts of the world or something...

Anything that moves the web closer to its natural end state— the J(S)VM is a win in my book. Making web apps a formally separate thing from pages might do some good for the web overall. We could start thinking about taking away features from the page side.
Not only that, they seemed to get hotter with each subsequent generation.

My 2015 could get hotter than my 2010. I think my work 2019 gets hotter still.

I think the Intels were hotter than my G4, but it’s been too long and the performance jump was worth it.

Got an M1 Air, it blows them all out of the water (even 2019, others aren’t a surprise). And it does it fanless, as opposed to emulating a jet engine.

And if you really push it, it gets pleasantly warm. Not possibly-burn-inducingly hot.
Eventually Apple moves off a node and the others move on.

People pretend like this isn’t a thing that’s already happened, and that there aren’t fair comparisons. But there are. And even when you compare like for like Apple Silicon tends to win.

Line up the node, check the wattages, compare the parts. I trust you can handle the assignment.
SPEC has been the industry standard benchmark for comparing the performance of systems using different instruction sets for decades now.

Traditionally, Anandtech would have been the first media outlet to publish the single core and multicore integer and floating point SPEC test results for a new architecture, but hopefully some trusted outlet will take up the burden.

For instance, Anandtech's Zen 5 laptop SKU results vs the M3 from the end of July:

> Even Apple's M3 SoC gets edged out here in terms of floating point performance, which, given that Apple is on a newer process node (TSMC N3B), is no small feat. Still, there is a sizable deficit in integer performance versus the M3, so while AMD has narrowed the gap with Apple overall, they haven't closed it with the Ryzan AI 300 series.

https://www.anandtech.com/show/21485/the-amd-ryzen-ai-hx-370...

Zen 5 beat Core Ultra, but given that Zen 5 only edged out the M3 in floating point workloads, I wouldn't be so quick to claim the M4 doesn't outperform Zen 5 single core scores before the test results come out.
Came here to post this. I remember once when going back on ADHD meds, a very smart doctor adding 5mg of Dexedrine. At 5pm.
