Oh how I wish I was joking. This stuff is apparently made from small bird femurs and nautilus shells grounded into powder, then add water, then diluted a million times so that they can sell olympic pools of the thing without running out of

I am a French taxpayer. This is not the most outrageous thing about taxpayer money at work that I learned today. That would be the fact that local branches of the ministry of agriculture require wind turbine builders to put blue dyed water

Startups and incubators are actually ruining everything while telling everyone they're improving everything. I think it's kinda true, but govt regulations should have prevented it, which is not happening anytime soon because polit

Your last sentence kinda contradicts the fact that the company Google operates the server behind gmail.com. If Google was evil (but in reality it's not), it could have forged and signed an email from john.smith@gmail.com with valid DKI

To me, DKIM doesn't prove that the user john.smith@gmail.com sent that email. It proves that gmail.com sent it. I'd avoid trusting FAANGs in courts when the fate of political leaders is at stake.

Sure, password managers are a SPoF, but in the event of a keylogger installed on the computer of someone with elevated access, you're screwed either way, password manager or not. Still, here password manager + 2FA could have helped, un

I can see some ways to use this and easily check that the LLM is not hallucinating parts of it, because you can ask the LLM to unminify (or deobfuscate) some component, then request unit tests to be written by the LLM, then humanly check th

Ripgrep is recent and written in Rust, but it does not describe itself as modern, even if some apects of it are. Its interface is designed to be an almost drop-in replacement of grep, which makes it "old style". I think software c
