A customer should be able to test an update, whether a signature file or literally any kind of update, before rolling it out to production systems. Anything else is madness. Being "vulnerable" for an extra few hours carries less r

Yup! OpenAI's best public English-language text model to date is GPT-4, which came out more than a year ago, March '23. But this hasn't just held for GPT-4, it's also the case for GPT-3.5 turbo, where I'd say the di

I did not mean to imply this, as there's a very long culpability chain. For this reason, I'm not sure if it makes any sense to imprison individuals for this. A lot of people playing a part in this causing such chaos. But it is som

I've said this elsewhere but the enabling of instant auto-updates on software relied on by a mission critical system is a much bigger problem than kernel drivers. Just imagine that there's a proprietary firewall that everyone uses

Has that shortage actually been driving up salaries? From what I know, Japan has the worst "SWE Salary:Cost of living" ratio anywhere in the developed world.
