I believe it was nerd wallet, but I signed in a few years back and was surprised to see they had almost a decade of financial data on me. I don't recall them printing out my unobsfuscated account numbers but it was a bit unnerving rega

It's almost amusing to watch how companies and consultants approach personally identifiable information in 2023 compared to just a few years earlier. I've been paid a lot of money to be able to get peoples data to essentially be a

I could imagine something like IPFS and a strong community of volunteers hosting nodes with different partitions. I'm not sure how IPFS would scale to IA sized storage, if for nothing else there would have to be a good way to segment a

Learning some pytorch is truly not the bulk of the work to build a model, having to wrangle and mangle a massive amount of data coming from less-than-ideal data sources, orchestrating the jobs and making all of this available for your train

I think it stems from people being really poorly equipped to think about scale like that. Even someone who has lived in NYC and/or been to jam packed sports stadiums, you're still only around ~50k humans max and that comes out to

I truly believe one of the biggest dangers of AI in our not so distant future will be the reaction to a lot of the LLM spam introducing an internet realID issued by governments to keep track of Real People and the internet will become divid

No but you will probably find yourself hand coding routines that will interpolate data into some prompts for an LLM to do produce something for end users. I'm sure there will be a lot of people building entire things through prompts to

I legitimately laughed out loud reading through the readme a few times. Also reminds me I should probably get around to really digging into Pin/Unpin.

It's amazing how naive people can be while simultaneously parading around as a founding member of a neo-enlightenment movement.

Yes. It's highlighted a lot in rust to mean zero cost abstraction. Basically adding language features without a run time penalty.

C2rust is really cool, but if you're familiar with writing rust and implement even a trivial C function in there it produces something absolutely terrifying. I really enjoy rust and pray I don't find myself working in a code base

You're probably right - I assumed the name terry davis being embedded in an email following a schizophrenic rant about software was a ruse.

I really hope ML becomes trainable on consumer hardware so I don't have to listen to organizations preach about ethics to me for a short while.

In the pdf there's mention to terry davis so I'm tempted to think this is actually a bit of a troll.

Docker had the ability to be baked into nearly every enterprise tech stack and extract money accordingly, instead they take time every 2 years to torment users. They will end up going down as one of the biggest missed plays in modern softwa

A simple server side template render is more than enough than 99.99% of SPA apps need for a fraction of the complexity, bandwidth or brainpower spent minding performance.

You mean the home-country-challenged people living among THE biggest oppressors in history needed help after literally-hitler was about to unalive them?

Seems very cool. To see the pricing I had to go add a z-index to your '.overlay' to get it to show up.

Has ford considered taking this a bit further - in between your songs they pause the music and make you repeat "It's Always Fresh in the Outback!" or "Subway, eat fresh!" a few times to refill your ford points to re

Nothing ironic to see here, just Vice.com complaining about a company parading as one thing and then realigning it's "goals" while hiding behind modern day social politics and ethics in order to make money.

I've seen clean code lead to over-architected and unmaintainable nightmares that ended up with incorrect abstractions that became much more of a problem than performance. The more the years pile up the more I agree with the sentiment i

Today is a sad day for hackerinos. I take full responsibility for these layoffs, we recruited far too many folks during the pandemic.
