This is no longer true, whatsapp have taken steps [0] to make their e2ee auditable and honestly I disagree with the idea that no e2ee is better than closed source e2ee. I'm not sure why you would trust a privacy policy more than you wo

Telegram is not end-to-end encrypted in the way other messaging services are (whatsapp, signal), it is encrypted but Telegram holds the keys and are able to decrypt any messages not sent on a "secret chat" which is not the default

I use telegram for some group chats, but I'm not sure why tech-savvy people would like it so much – messages are not end-to-end encrypted which makes it an inferior choice compared to even whatsapp

The lack of horizontal scrolling in Chrome and most chrome-based browsers drives me absolutely crazy, it's such a basic feature... Firefox on the other hand has terrible support for profiles, I've been using Arc which is good but

So this kind of "platform independence" approach is something I have been hired to figure out a few times before as a tech consultant Often a very similar story to yours, what I find that works consistently: - Start small, don&#x2

They're using AVAX so it's probably a custom Avalanche L1 – that's the whole point of Avalanche, they get to benefit from the public validators on the AVAX network but they can fully manage validator membership in their priva

I think it's probably real. Deloitte won this contract years ago and they have a blockchain division, California also has a blockchain working group within govt which among other things had suggested putting car and house titles in the

This is the way. Although some books greatly help in getting there, I learnt a lot from "Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering" by Eldad Eilam (might be a bit dated now)

That response is bad python though, I can't think of why you'd ever want a dict with Literal typed keys. Either use a TypedDict if you want the keys to be in a specific set, or, in your case since both the keys and the values are

to be fair that's quite a weird request (the initial one) – I feel a human would struggle to understand what you mean

If you notice, a lot of the more esoteric 3D formats listed on wikidata link right back to the paulbourke.net site from this post, it's a small world!

This isn't using an LLM, it simply checks for similarity between keys using vector embeddings

Have you tried talking to your manager about this? As an engineering manager, I have had people in my team that would much prefer me to shield them from other department heads and any higher levels of management as they want to minimise mee

I think you're confusing things slightly – I don't think idealista owns any property. They are however owned by a private equity group that invests among other things directly in real estate, which is tbf extremely common in PE.

For me, the snappy, easy to go from one link to another interface reminds me of hours and hours and hours spent browsing https://everything2.com in the earlier years of the Internet.

Infosec is probably one of the only areas of tech where certificates are useful. I would say where possible you should still try to get an employer to pay for them though. But that's hard these days so I know people who paid for their

Yes and no, apart from the UI for it it really depends on how they've implemented the transformations. For example, if it's writing and running python behind the scenes which I suspect is what is happening here as that's what

I like the concept, but I'm not sure I like the implementation. The demo they show has an excel sheet source being transformed into another sheet by grouping by a specific column. I don't like how it does a transformation step, se

This is pretty cool, although DSLs can bring their own set of challenges vs writing SQL – how does it compare to dbt? (apart from it being python instead of SQL)

Levels.fyi is always very inflated for anything outside of FAANG – to the point where it's not realistic Glassdoor lists the average for SWEs for Madrid at 35k€ vs London at £66k (76k€) which even accounting for cost of living is quite

What a weird take to defend tech salaries in Spain, I'd love to move but the very top salaries for my level cap around 80-90k EUR so it'd be quite a big drop even compared to the UK

They hire people in their 20s to do senior roles on the cheap, they throw away people that are 30s or older (if you’re 40 you might as well be dead) as they are seen as expensive

Did you also remove some roles so that it looks like you're younger? I've heard that is the only way to get interviews these days as senior cvs are getting thrown out (too old, too expensive)

hnfong was referring to emergent abilities, not to "the basics" – the definition of emergent abilities as they apply to language models is that they are not present in smaller models, only in large ones. That also implicitly defin
