The DOE (as a research agency) does a lot of biological and genomic research and is well qualified to do this kind of research, as other comments here have pointed out. It's not uncommon for researchers in different agencies to collabo

The Energy Department is far more credible than spy agencies as they actually do biological and genomic research.

When you have legislators chasing buzzwords and clout, you get a lot of grandstanding from them. They don’t understand the tech, which doesn’t really matter to them. What matters is they get to say they did something to protect the people.

$30k seems grotesquely high, although I do agree with the point. I'm not sure how much of it is to do with supply vs demand (there being a lesser quantity of software engineers experienced in capable of making apps vs plumbers) and how

And what is knowledge? It could very well be that our minds are themselves fancy autocompletes.

While that may hypothetically be the future, that time is not now. The case before the court is much more consequential in nature and may remove the need for partnerships between companies like OpenAI and ShutterShock for consenstual sharin

Copyrighted content on the internet isn't a free for all for people to train models with. No matter the good intentions, if Stability AI didn't take reasonable steps to remove copyrighted data from the training set then IMO they h

I agree, the shell changes are a big step backwards for the sake of some eye candy. Personally I use ExplorerPatcher [1] to restore most of the shell UI back to stock Win10, and it's been working pretty well for me without any problems

Growing interest rates propagate throughout the economy. The goal of higher interest rates (aside from debt & borrowing becoming substantially more expensive) is to bring down demand and slow the economy.

It's not wrong. The Fed is explicitly asking for these kinds of layoffs. The fact that they are seeing more layoffs in tech opposed to other industries is part of why the interest rate hikes aren't stopping.

While I normally would argue about virtue signaling, this seems like creepy and unsettling behavior that definitely warrants an investigation. That doesn’t mean there was any rule breaking, but this is one of those creepy things that I stro

Is it actually “removed” globally or is it just blocked from viewing in India? This would be a big deal if it’s the former.

For one, commiting project dependencies into your SCM can go along way. Treat 3P code as your code. Not only does this help prevent supply chain attacks, but it makes you more conscious as to the stuff you’re importing. Maybe you don’t need

Hence why I said silently. If I’m posting something and it appears to me as usual on my feed but not others, by all means that’s a shadow ban.

Well if you are silently placed on a hide list (by manual human intervention without you being able to know without a third party), then by all means that is a shadow ban. Edit for clarity.

Most importantly platforms like RN substantially lower the barrier to entry for making mobile apps, and cross platform ones at that. Whenever you lower the barrier to entry to something you inevitably attract low quality, low effort content

Do you deploy confidential information into the repo ? That would be the root problem.

Yep, it seems like most of the posters here in this thread don’t do much software engineering from the looks of it. Or are being purposely obtuse here. There is no security vulnerability here in any of the links we’ve seen so far minus some

What makes you think that there is some "substantial risk"? You seem to be mixing together git repos and site deployment rules. I don't see the big deal here with some CMS leftovers being deployed, but yes from a perspective

Your mainstream user doesn’t care about the underlying technology behind a product. They care about good UX/UI, good content, who’s on it and a supply of dopamine to keep the “must check social media” cycle going. There’s a separate gr

“Better software engineers” to anyone who does software engineering is a joke. It’s an totally unquantifiable measure, and some people use dumb metrics like leetcode capabilities as some IQ test.

All sorts of software can be used to “generate potentially harmful results”. Think about an algorithm for displaying content on social media sites, a search engine, a piece of malware on a computer. Do we ban books on how to make bombs? It’

There is no singular best answer. Nuclear fission for the foreseeable future will remain one of the solutions. There is the caveat that it’s not technically “sustainable” or “renewable”, but practically no source of energy is fully.
