I'd like the latter to be generally illegal (along with most of the analytics industry — just the other day I got a popup that wanted me to share my use of a website with 1604(!) partners, whereas my secondary school only had about 1000 students).

The former, I wish we could actually do something about, but China is so dominant on the world Aluminium markets that even if you didn't buy from them directly, all you're doing is substituting yourself for another buyer — boycotting Chinese aluminium is probably possible, but is like trying to get private individuals to boycott Nestlé.

> Wiz combines a graph search for asset management with agentless vuln and malware scanning that clones EBS volumes and scans them on their infrastructure. That's a great combo for vuln management, but has some downsides like delays between scans and cloud costs. They have a sensor with solid detection rules, and are okay at a bunch of other stuff like cloud log threat detection and sensitive data detection. They've basically pushed what you can do without an agent to the limit.

1. I helped maintain a payroll system written in GW-BASIC for a year or two. It was designed cleanly and well, with each module of code a separate file chain-loaded in from disk as a de facto overlay system. The variables that each module inherited were thoroughly documented in code comments at the top of each module, so it was clear what it would inherit in RAM and which you needed not to touch.

Just as one can write spaghetti code in any language, one can equally write good clean code in any language.

2. Remember what the _B_ in BASIC stands for. Despite that it was used professionally, yes, but there is in any and all fields a need for easy tools for beginners to learn with.

> High-risk dogs are entirely owner created.

Unfortunately, some dogs do have higher potential for harm than others, even setting aside training. For some, this is due to their bite strength (e.g. Rottweilers, Doberman, and yes, pitbulls.) Some tend to be more skittish/wary of strangers (e.g. guard dogs like Akitas and Dalmations) and act more unpredictably around them.

On the other hand, breeds like Beagles and French Bulldogs seem to very rarely cause serious injury. Even a Pomeranian or Chihuahua, while often wary of strangers, can't typically do much damage...

edit: Since I'm being downvoted, I'd love if someone could explain why? I don't think I said anything particularly controversial. I grew up with a Rottie-Pitbull mix and my family has numerous pitbulls (and other dogs) in it. I've had numerous friends with Akitas. I agree that owners are responsible for training their dogs to behave appropriately, and yet I've also seen the damage that larger dogs can do, and the difficulty that even experienced dog owners can have with these behaviors.
I did my PhD 2004-2007. I'm not sure whether it was the subject (pure math), my particular advisor or just being two decades ago but I was never aware of any pressure to "publish or perish". I didn't end up continuing in academia post-PhD, but my advisor certainly wanted me to do so, so would have demanded more publication if that was necessary. I'm thankful that I was able to just focus on the quality of research (type I science) and publish when it made sense.

Having said that, I now work in industry research and frequently find myself having to remember and remind others (particularly junior researchers) not to fight the system of industry research too hard if they want to actually get anyone to take notice of their research.

What the hell is "Wiz"? Some nobody company that was formed <5 yrs ago and now gets acquired for _$32B_

G might be the modern day IBM.

You would think G would have the brain power to compete and provide out of the box security for their own platform. I guess the MBA losers at the top have been shaving too much from engineering to do this properly.

The acquisition hiring in big tech is wild to me. And the consolidation of power into a few companies continues.
This seems like so much work, what motivates people to just give it all away for free? Are the devs independently wealthy or funded by a rich patron?
we have a lot more content like this on the way. if anyone has feedback or questions let us know.
It is a difficult question to answer. For example, why did Google acquire YouTube in the early 2010s? A platform technically and engineering wise similar to YouTube would have been very easy to replicate. IMO the best explanation goes back all the way to the days of Standard Oil/Carnegie Steel company - and quite possibly even the East India Company. There's an enormous benefit to consolidate various businesses under you and create a monopoly. Today in tech, monopolies are far from being as straightforward as being the dominant producer of a commodity like oil or steel. But there's undoubtedly some similar mechanisms involved. Synergy is one way to put it, but I think it's too restrictive.

I think the other part of the equation missing is if Google did create their own Wiz, Wiz would still be on the market, and it'd be a bitter fight which they could very well lose.
Since releasing crypto invoicing, Acctual has helped over 4k businesses and freelancers in 100+ countries get paid in stablecoins, with over $100M processed. We’ve seen companies use stablecoins to transact across hard-to-reach corridors like Nigeria → India, Brazil → Kazakhstan, Turkey → UAE, and more—showing how stablecoins can unlock borderless commerce.

But there’s still a major barrier. For stablecoin payments to work, both sides need to be aligned on the stablecoin + blockchain they’re using. The problem is, one party might not even be using stablecoins or might prefer a different stablecoin and blockchain. This means one party often has to sacrifice their preferred currency or method, leading to extra fees, delayed payments and even strained client relationships.

Today, we’re turning your preferred payment method—whether it’s USDC-SOL directly to your Phantom wallet, EUR to your Revolut account, or USDT-ETH to your exchange account—into a flexible one when you send your invoices on Acctual. Clients can choose to pay in any stablecoin, any network or even fiat currency and you get paid where you want it. We don’t store or hold your funds, and there’s no need for a separate account. You just get paid how and where you want.
The on-call rotation had escalation, and instead of going to the manager it went to someone else in the team. Since there were only two backend engineers in my team, I was either always 1st or 2nd (clown emoji).

Unfortunately this is a huge hole in German labour law.

I quit there pretty fast, after a couple months. It was a tourism company, so Corona treated them very well.

The other company where this happened was a Content Marketing company that was wiped out by ChatGPT. I didn't do on-call there but the other team did.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic - it's a pretty obvious trope to confuse how cute an animal is with how safe it is.

Edit: To be clear, I don't know what the statistics/literature on Chows say. I'm just remarking on "aren't they fluffballs?"
I don't disagree, but I think we need to be careful of our vocabulary around the word "model." People are starting to use it to refer to the whole "AI system", rather than the actual transformer model.

This article is talking about models that have been trained specifically for workflow orchestration and tool use. And that is an important development.

But the fundamental architectural pattern isn't different: You run the model in some kind of harness that recognizes tool use invocations, calls to the external tool/rag/codegen/whatever, then feeds the results back into the context window for additional processing.

Architecturally speaking, the harness is a separate thing from the language model. A model can be trained to use Anthropic's MCP, for example, but the capabilities of MCP are not "part" of the model.

A concrete example: A model can't read a webpage without a tool, just like a human can't read a webpage without a computer and web browser.

I just feel like it's important to make a logical distinction between a model and the agentic system using that model. Innovation in both areas is going to proceed along related but different paths.

I'm surprised FOIA hasn't been "deleted" yet.
Again, biometrics are fine for local access. If you cut your finger or scar your face just use your backup method (maybe a pin, maybe a different finger) to get in and update the scan. And if someone steals your fingerprint they can't use it without having physical access to your device, because again, this is for local access.

For remote authentication you use a private key accessed via the local system (which you are already authenticated to using biometrics).

Not sure if I was playing AI or not but we were both good, I got a 28 which was the higher score between us.

I am curious about the backend.
Doesn't directly answer your question as I don't have a modern AMD card to test with, but even with an RTX 5080 Super + 9800X3D, I was still only getting about ~45-55 FPS at 4K60. I left the default settings of High and DLSS enabled (Ultra was slower). Turning off DLSS tanked the FPS to like ~15-20 and ate up almost the full 16GB of VRAM.

Even so, it was still really cool to experience and was plenty playable as-is. I'm excited to see the full release.
That may be the plan for the future. Right now, this is a hedge / leverage against negotiations with ARM. For developers looking to test their code against a new architecture and compare it to known good code/behavior, it doesn’t get any easier than rebooting into the other core!
I don't believe the horrors of Nazi Germany would have been made worse if people smashed the windows of VW Beetles.

Well, yes and no. They share the same primitives (hash tree) but those have been around for 40+ years. If you think about Git, it’s already a blockchain without the mining blocks; it’s chained hash trees in the same way. So adding mined blocks doesn’t really add any value unless you’re trying to attach some kind of reward system to it.

There've been periodic outbreaks of AI hype since the 1950s. The current one will probably die off quicker than blockchain, tho, hype-wise; the sheer _cost_ of maintaining the bubble is so high that it really won't be allowed the sort of long wind-down period that the blockchain hype cycle had.

Just for reference, the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act in the UK imposes strict liability (including criminal liability) for dangerous dogs and maintains a list of breeds that are banned. Recently 'XL Bully' dogs were put on that list, but there is controversy regarding the breed-specific limits. It is always easy to look back and say 'that dog and its owner were the source of a series of problems and should have been detained' but turns out that preventing future problems is harder than you would think...
