Does this have a CVE or something? I have the weird feeling the cloud initiative here won't notice this ever otherwise...

looking at the russian sponsors linked on the russian site I suppose this is mostly for the people putting these things on drones or in trenches... I suppose they obtain their cameras somewhere...

I was on the train when some executive support staff joined my car (train ran late and they were easy to find on the internet ...). They behaved like misogynistic ogres and I can vividly imagine those people laugh about this. 0 regard for o

that might indeed be the problem. I however did not find any other suitably marked element and CTRL+F apparently is too simple for outlook. Maybe you can select a single mail in the search bar...

and then most of the places I know happily allow employees admin access for "just that piece of software they need" and simultaneously push for "zero-trust". There's no point in it at all and you can just as well us

yesterday: I saw the weird CVE for M365 which "exploits" some LLM through messaging embedded in emails. today: got a very long email, wanted to search for our department in it. Outlook: "Search is a deprecated feature".

And so what? Given the display of men's feelings w.r.t. to "mixed groups", I (heterosexual male) get the ick about some people here... For me most of it is about the space/relationship where certain things should happen,

also software is a factory and the LLM is a workshop building factories. Also I strongly believe that people building factories still do a lot of a) ten people pounding out the metal AND b) measuring to check

So for workflows it's like Airflow, Brigade or hatchet or ...? How do workflows integrate with k8s (ressources, ...)? Camunda can also deploy natively on k8s. However you still develop apps for Camunda and it seems like dapr is no diff

While I don't play Badminton (and so can't test with a racket on hand) this seems very cool! I also thought about something similar for judging bikewheel spoke tension - I guess I have to research this a bit more now. As for monet

Thank you, very nice read! (Though from some scanning it looks like it mostly helps reads)

I can tell you the company I work at (4000 people, legacy banking IT) has 4 people running our Datalake. We likely have more people buying/"evaluating" Databricks currently (from overhearing calls in open-plan offices), so I

So how is this distributed Postgres still an ACID-compliant database? If you allow multiple nodes to query the same data this likely is just Trino/an OLAP-tool using Postgres syntax? Or did they rebuild Postgres and not upstream anythi

we pay millions to Oracle. We hit a bug and it took 6months for them to reproduce and acknowledge there is a bug. they now seem to be on the lookout for someone being able to produce a fix: sales and indian after-sales can't do that...

should the matrix-multiplication at the core of this not be in a core library? Why are generic layers intermixed with LLM-specific kernels when the generic layers are duplicating functionality in torch? Upstreaming that might actually help

I think they are taken over by exactly the same people leading the AI-hype. Funny how in this article they are a) not advertising clearly what they are doing, b) solving a small subset of problems in a way noone asked for (I think most peo

also why is it calling .cuda() to move tensors to a cuda driver? I suppose this is because this is based on HIP - which comes with it's own set of problems, but that's ROCm for the masses I guess. Also the tgemm.mm has to be a tor

yes, automation is necessary and from what I see most non-IT companies are far behind what's possible. Something which is not necessary and imho pretty stupid is replacing idiotic workflow components designed to wash-out responsibility

just mount the whole root fs as a volume? or use bwrap or crun or runc to run your OCI bundle. Sadly the latter tools have some warts for this purpose...

Hmmm, k8s is OpenSource and IBM has rolled up a nice bundle to sell that. Did you think of the 80ies maybe?
