In many engineering professions licenses and certifications require adherence to an ethical code, for instance the ISC2 certifications like the CISSP. So for one to be a professional in these fields one must actually act ethically.

There was a sweet spot with computer technologies for some decades where hobbyists could afford to experiment and even push the envelope in the nascent field of computing - similar to genetic radiation, many niches were formed and rapidly f

The amount of "it's not..., it's..." is excruciating. Especially since I find this an important area of discussion.

By that logic, most everything other than a club to the head is "just stories". Hume points out in a Treatise on Human Nature that most of how we interact with the world is through a coherent hallucination provided by sense organs

No, my apologies, I actually mis-attributed the etymology of stoic to a group that did identify with reduced emotionality, but yes, out of Greece. That’s not how the snipe was intended.

You might need to inspect the etymology of that word and take a look at where the concept is rooted.

Consider 2 researchers, Alice and Bob. Lets say that Alice has developed a cool way to analyze gene data, and she uses it on her gene data and gets cool information, so naturally Bob would like to do the same analysis. How does Bob securely

My issue with the strawberry example is different than yours - the items the author listed that we miss out on ("The texture, the juiciness, the complexity of the flavor, the imperfections, the joy of finding a particularly good one, t

The "stories" I reference are the wide ranges of events, decisions, and conversations that went into the camera's placement. Are the cameras just for show? Have they recently modernized? Were there discussions and arguments a

You are asking me why I can't write plainly, but I believe you're confusing me for the author, but I'll answer you anyways. "Plain" language removes nuance. Example: "She sat on the chair". The number of

What came to mind is a camera pointed at the cash register tells a very different story than the camera pointed at the ATM, or pointing from the ATM for that matter. Placement and the stories behind them offer interesting perspectives on wh

"We don't have a dedicated security team because security and privacy are integral to all aspects of our service". Do you have people whose role is explicitly security? Who are the security SMEs in your organization if not? I

Since you just submitted a statistic without any evidence substantiating it, I will leave this here for future readers: https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/technology-media-and-tel... It looks like much more like 50% o

Yeah, orbital mirrors essentially expand the radius of Mercury, increasing the sunlight available. Terrestrial mirrors would ensure that light makes it from the sunward side to the dark side of the planet.

Why does being so deep in the gravity well pose an issue? If you are assuming the Dyson swarm is intended to go back up the well then sure, but that isn't necessary.

I think the scary reality is most people conflate "keys" and "certificates". I have worked with security engineers that I need to remind that we do not use SSH certs, but rather key auth, and they have to think it throug

Well I ask because I know it is not a real thing, and you seemingly doubled down acting like it is a real thing, showing that you don't know what you are talking about either.

If you've read Applied Cryptography, you'd know it is definitely a hose.

My opinion is that all attempts to make an LLM behave securely that are based on training and prompting are doomed to fail. In Security, we have the notion of the CIA triad (Confidentiality, availability, and integrity), when we discuss thi

The original commenter wasn't making statements about sqlite being involved, they were saying that a specific library should be mentioned if it was involved, which it wasn't. Unless you are saying sqlite_vec is part of the depende

by Stefan-H 8mo ago
But it is not a layer on top of sqlite_vec, so your logic seems to be: If the tool uses sqlite_vec (which it doesn't) Then it should say so in the readme. You didn't find evidence sqlite_vec in the readme, so your conclusion was t

Any chance you went beyond the surface comparison and have thoughts on how the libraries compare in functionality?

A runtime is notably NOT infrastructure, had you said instruction set you might have landed closer to making a compelling argument, but the whole point is that AWS (and other providers) abstract away the underlying infrastructure and allow
