If it's just an extradition issue, the US has extradition treaties with 116 countries. You'd still have to 1) ensure that user is who they say they are (an ID?) and 2) they are reliable and 3) no one has compromised their accounts

But how? Let's say you're one of 10 maintainers of an open source project. A new user wants to contribute. What do you do? Do you ask them to send you some form of ID? Assuming this is legal and assuming you could ensure the new u

I am quite new to LLMs, so probably something is lost on me. What I don't get is why we need millions or billions of tokens. Like... 3 words=4 tokens more or less, right? Surely you don't need millions of words to build context fo

Mapreduce, Go, Kubernetes, Istio, Tensorflow,... I'm not a Googler but there's no denying that, despite all their faults, Google has contributed a lot.

As a non Googler myself, it still is if you want to know how to set up an SRE team and introduce SRE (ie good sysadmin, for lack of a better word) best practices. The focus on actual indicators such as SLI and SLO, the importance of reducin

Maybe, but he only mentioned disagreements on security policies. Doesn't sound very convincing as a last straw, especially from a marketing standpoint when trying to gain more traction for his fork.

As an outsider to this whole thing (having discovered this issue in this thread, like pretty much anyone), the CVE rules simply say that you cannot assign a CVE to vulnerabilities in a product that is not publicly available or licensable .

UML diagrams are not code. You cannot file a CVE for something that is not an actual (software or hardware) implementation.

I admit I haven't followed closely this issue, but what is he talking about? >In particular, they decided to interfere with security policy nginx uses for years, ignoring both the policy and developers’ position.

Indeed. For tech companies and a few non-tech companies but with a strong tech environment (think HFT), IT is where you gain an edge on your competitors. Everywhere else, you win customers because of better prices, negotiating nice deals wi

It is crazy because it dilutes the interview experience and you never know when it's going to end and when they're going to decide (and actually tell you). And why should you talk to all those people? Talk to the tech folks, then

Sure but do you actually need the absolute best people around? An average company probably doesn't need exceptional developers. If you're not a tech company and you don't have an extremely challenging setup, your survival as

They 2038 thing I get, but the clock drift of BILLIONS of seconds really scares me. What kind of fucked up setup can lead to something like this?

I'm sure that no one is perfect, not even huge companies, but I wonder how Toyota got to the point of not monitoring disk space.

Interesting. Where I work we just jumped from huge databases on prem to managed databases on AWS, so we totally skipped that step. Interestingly, we are now starting to experiment with smaller databases managed by us, so we may find ourselv

$100 of food spoiling in a decade vs picking up a second shirt maybe every month. They are different, but not that much. And you're ignoring the first example about falling from your bed which, if things go wrong, can cause bone fractu

FWIW, that's exactly what I meant. The thing about data, unlike many common objects (ignoring 3d printers), is that you can easily copy data you control. So the fact that the fridge tells you "as an additional comfort in your preg

No but the impact (in terms of risk assessment) of a car crash is much worse than the impact of "hey, I forgot to completely close the fridge door"

only if the downsides are less significant. If dealing with an ugly path means streaming data all the time to the Internet and potentially decreasing the reliability of the whole thing, just because once every 5 or 10 years stuff defrosts..

So you downsized databases? I get that you can, to an extent, scale databases horizontally (especially if you don't need JOINs or you just use them for read operations), but autoscaling databases sounds a bit risky

Not OP but, regardless of why we exist here, change is not always good. Change simply means that something becomes something else. It isn't inherently good. For example, now I walk with both legs, but if a car hits me, I might stay on

I personally am not offended by a feature. I wouldn't march on the streets to denounce this or anything like that. What I am saying (though I cannot speak for anyone) is that I, on the contrary, would go out of my way to not get, not

Sure but it's something more for barely any actual advantage. I accept that when I Google something Google and maybe other companies know what I searched, because Googling things is useful. I cannot bring an encyclopaedia and a detaile

Yeah but kids can do all kinds of stuff. If your kids start drawing on the wall, do you have an alarm for that? Or for when they break a glass?

So you're saying a fridge takes a photo (of itself, essentially... a selfie?), forwards it with certain prompts to a GPT and then gives you the response. But as I said earlier I might not like certain foods, or I may actively avoid cer

Yes but while you can install Linux on your own, or even build your own computer if you're interested, you don't get to build a fridge or its operating system, and you most likely don't even have a valid way to see how it&#x2
