Out of honest interest, what workflows have you integrated ChatGPT into?
Absolutely agree. My biggest problem with AI safety is that, simply, the problem they envisage doesn't exist yet (generally, at a minimum, relying on the existence of "AGI"). Hence discussions about it have to make a…
As are geologists who do “proper geology” research that aids the identification of underground oil wells. Yet it’s still relevant to point out where their funding comes from when it’s an oil company.
I’m pretty sure that’s fully accurate. Filippo mentioned one of his backers is the Interchain Foundation [1], and several others of his backers are at the very least cryptocurrency/web3 adjacent. Note, the GP didn’t say…
So, I have recently returned to Python development after several years out. In my first project [1], I was building on an existing library that was already using Poetry - so obviously I went with that for my work.…
As far as I know, it’s only believed that the attackers have the encrypted vaults of LastPass users. However, that does mean they can attempt to “brute force” the encryption, trying any number of passwords as often as…
But there’s also a difference between “secure” and “confidential”. Many definitions of security include integrity and availability as a properties to protect - and storing data in multiple locations can definitely help…
I understand your opinion about affiliate links - but I use several review websites that use such links for all products they review, and have both positive and negative reviews for products. So I wouldn’t say it…

King of Tokyo (and it’s sequel, King of New York) were rather popular gateway/filler games (i.e., getting people into board gaming or as a quick game before/between/after a big game) for a while. Nothing comparable to…
Citation? The best I could find with a quick Google was her NYT opinion piece [1], which pretty clearly couched her statements about Delta possibly being the last surge in hospitalisations and deaths in the US as a…
That definitely wasn’t true when I developed my watch face (https://github.com/kelnage/digital-simplicity) - the Garmin IDE compiled it down to a single IQ file which can then be transferred directly to the device via…
I believe FB is being purposely disingenuous with its statement there - using the language of user privacy and security to protect itself from third-party academic research. The authorisation it talks about here is not…
In one of the of the organisations I mentioned, they had a strict policy against using any GPL dependencies, let alone the AGPL. I tried discussing this with the legal policy person but they were quite resolute - they…
Elastic, like others at the time, have used open source to their advantage - to start. The obvious one is that it is built around the Apache Lucene, and I have no doubt that this is one of the reasons ES ended up being…
Absolutely agree - but most good quality WP articles will include a range of references to primary literature that helps with b and c!
Perhaps they’ve learned from a recent US administration that “National Security” is a very broad brush, which is hard to contradict, and thus is an easy card to play when you don’t want to reveal your actual motives!…
If you’re interested in knowing more about how this event and other ecological factors influenced the decline and fall of the Roman Empire (to coin a phrase...), “The Fate of Rome” by Kyle Harper is a great read or…
Did you already have a Mac? Because that seems like a significant part of the process if it is stil necessary.
I provided two books as requested - an old favourite (The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams) and a recent fantasy novel (The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin). My recommendations were... unhelpful? Lots of…
I think you probably know this, but whey is suitable for vegetarians (being a byproduct of curdling milk) - and whey-based protein supplements are often vegetarian. Vegan protein supplements are generally extracted from…
It’s not at all clear how you are comparing Linux to its closed competitors, but frankly, if that’s the best example you can pick, I’d suggest copyright is largely winning that battle. Yes, Linux has probably “won” in…
Yeah, sorry, my wording wasn’t clear. I meant that attacks exist based on not utilising appropriate validation criteria (and, for example, libsodium’s more strict criteria do indeed prevent them).
This is very nice work. For those who are interested in academic work about detecting/preventing such attacks, there have been some recent papers that looked at the formal verifying protocol models [1, 2] to (dis)prove…
The French and wider EU rules around this (often referred to as "freedom of panorama", discussed here [1]) are actually quite complex. From my time contributing to Wikipedia, I've seen a number of cases of photos on…
