You are obviously right that these are similar in principle: VM isolation exploit would lead to the same exposure like container-related isolation exploits. VMs are considered vastly better because the surface area where exploits can happen

I may suggest to answer genuinely about how you are instead of "how is life" — yes, my life is hard because of many ongoing family health issues, but I might still be OK in the moment. Or sleepy from a bad night of sleep, or hun

I wonder if this counts as sufficient defense of the trademark according to the trademark protection laws: if one does not guard a trademark, they run the risk of losing it. Unfortunately, if you care about trademark or just simple copyrigh

What I find curious is that the entire article seems to be framed in responding to the needs of a single user of the app — the author themselves. Yet the app is published and has a great App Store review score of 4.8 with 170k+ reviews, and

The point of coincidental timing with copy.fail patches is that by DDoSing an upgrade mechanism for one of most popular distributions, you extend the time window certain systems remain vulnerable in order to exploit them.

I believe AMD Ryzen AI Max 395+ with 128GB of RAM is the "undisputed king of VRAM-per-dollar", but Macs are slightly better performing for local inference.

You can trivially have a server process bind a listening socket to eg. 127.4.3.19.

I am pretty convinced you need root on most systems to update DNS resolution mechanism system-wide (eg. to edit /etc/hosts or run a local DNS server and put that into /etc/resolv.conf).

Can you elaborate? Has it been shown that copy-fail can break through KVM boundaries in Linux? I understood it to be local-only (which is more likely to affect containers, bit I don't thinkmthat was demonstrated either).

I get your point, but mine is that if there are ways to nudge it to do better when creating code, there must be ways to nudge it to be more careful with operations and avoid the same issues. So instead of saying it is "broken", I

Why would LLMs not have access to the breadth of operational experience that is out there in user guides, specifications, forums, blogs, logs, observability platforms and such? And if it does, why is it not as good an operator as any other?

Car makers cannot do anything they want and call it a car. The motivation there is safety, but it's long been argued that personal computing devices are today extension of our lives. Even more comparable is postal rules: at least here,

Authenticated HTTP or even SSH should allow it, especially if you are restricting to GH and know how their web URLs translate into git repo URLs.

I am with you, but I similarly as the earlier sibling comment disagree Macs are like option 2, and not because of lack of do-it-all quality: just that their choices are suboptimal. Glossy screens, crappy keyboards, sharp edges, large weight

So is it open dataset or open source dataset? Eg. it is no accident Creative Commons is using different terminology for non-software works.

I can dislike word "bread" being used to represent edible produce made from (wheat) flour, yeast and water and insist that be called dough-nut (it looks just like a big nut made from dough), but I would be frequently misunderstood

Start thinking about things like: - I changed one source file, I need to rebuild the whole app - I upped one dependency by a minor version ... How long is the rebuild time? As I said, compare it to simple, standard make-based setup. The pro

The point is that "open source" by now has an established and widespread definition, and a "source" hints that it is something a thing is built from that is open. Is this really a debate we still need to be having today?

That's pretty much what agile is :)

An easier thing would be to say "open weights", yes.

by necovek 6mo ago
There is an easy fix already in widespread use: "open weights". It is very much a valuable thing already, no need to taint it with wrong promise. Though I disagree about being used if it was indeed open source: I might not do it i

Where's the training data and training scripts since you are calling this open source ? Edit: it seems "open source" was edited out of the parent comment.

> Docker is great development tooling (still some rough edges, of course). Show me a Docker in use where build caching was solved optimally for development builds (like eg. make did for C 40 or 50 years ago)? Perhaps you consider Docker

In my 20+ years in the industry, I've been at one company which really did Agile, and that was the one I started with. Everyone else is communicating they are doing Agile while being very far away from it ;)

Docker does not set your machine up: it sets your process up. Tech like Flatpak or Snap is closer to Docker than "machines" are — except that Docker has local, virtualized networking built-in as the IPC layer.

Before microservices became trendy, there was something called SOA (service oriented architecture). Microservices is but one application of that pattern where each service is minimal. SOAs have most utility in scaling teams , not software:

Extrapolating from a few months to a full year and calling it Annual Recurring Revenue is one of modern startup valuation gimmicks that I cannot not laugh at. Sometimes it helps to go back to the basics to understand company performance

With Linux, it is really multiple UX ecosystems: you can be in one (eg. Gtk+/Gnome and/or Qt/KDE) and consistency will be there. Not perfect, but MacOS is not much better. OTOH, I want subpixel rendering on my big screens, an
