During the Covid global chip shortage Intel announced new factories to address the production bottleneck, before the factories even started to be constructed, the shortage was long over and the projects were eventually canceled.

The unfortunate true is that getting even the best work in front of an audience is often much harder than solving the problem. Is uploading a paper to arXiv enough to expect the work to be recognized and cited? Unfortunately, it rather is n

This assumes that a known watermarking algorithm is implemented. To me, unless output starts to include information whether watermark was inserted or not to a result, relaying on such an assumption is risky. If a human editor needed to hide

I'm afraid watermarking could restrict applications where LLMs can be safely used to assist with writing. If I write something myself and use an LLM to proofread it, without watermarking I can confidently say that corrections done by L

My experience with Boto: need some S3 manipulation logic, here is an official documentation that shows how to solve the exact problem with Boto, one caveat, this version of Boto is deprecated. Do the same with the newest version? Not possib

It assembles and pivots to own root filesystem. The filesystem mounts dirs and files from your original filesystem, most of them in read-only mode, but does not mount files that expose secrets to the sandbox. The sandbox also mounts own, wr

I work on a sandbox which has similar isolation level to Podman (rootless Linux user namespaces), but with UX optimized for local development work. Take a look: https://github.com/wrr/drop Basically, you don't ent

Normal vending machine transactions are B2C transactions, so the buyer cannot be a company - cannot pay with company money and cannot deduce the payment as the company cost. I guess, the buyer can take a receipt from a vending machine and a

With payments the complexity is not only in accepting a payment, but largely in doing so legally. Someone makes a request to my company's paid service, I return 402 and get a stable coin back. Who do I invoice for this revenue? What va

You are right, but if stock repurchase does not increase market cap, dividend payment still decreases it (unless it would be fully reinvested in the same stock, which it is not, it is largely reinvested in largest caps).

Could outperformance of largest cap companies be partially explained by dividends paid by smaller caps? Reasoning behind this: * Index investing raises in popularity, with index funds that automatically reinvest dividends being often prefer

This is just an implementation detail, a feature flag can very well be implemented with a Boolean in a database. To me the main appeal of feature flags is that they allow to work on large features that often require months and many commits

When I was doing Fast.AI Deep Learning course, I was surprised by the number of Python dependencies machine learning projects bring. Web front-end projects were always considered very third-party dependencies heavy, but to me, the machine l

Recently I was wondering how viable it is to launch a niche, paid tool for Linux. I found that this is a very rare model, most tools are either just free, supported by sponsorship, supported by some paid cloud-based service that accompanies

OK, I see, so a limitation is also that I cannot block an individual script, I need to block a Python interpreter.

I'm not a Little Snitch or Open Snitch user, I wonder if these firewalls are able to block requests done with the use of some other, allow-listed program. Say I run a script `suspicious.py' and I deny this script from making any n

Check also https://github.com/wrr/drop which is a higher-level tool than bwrap. It allows you to make such isolated sandboxes with minimal configuration.

I work on a sandboxing tool similarly based on an idea to point the user home dir to a separate location ( https://github.com/wrr/drop ). While I experimented with using overlayfs to isolate changes to the filesystem and
