What do you mean, "no mitigation" and "except for kernel updates"? Somebody made a mistake. Somebody found the mistake, and told the maintainers (and even offered a draft patch). The maintainers fixed the mistake and…
Well... you're not supposed to roll your own cryptography. Like, don't go thinking that you're going to do better than a NIST contest winner if you need a cryptographic primitive. That goes for protocols as well. And…
It sounds like they just joined Vercel.
I would consider it, if I were being paid royalties on the end product, rather than a one-time hourly fee.
"Don't judge a book by its cover" :)
Wearing smartglass in the first place is creepy. I have nothing against people who want to wear a bodycam but it becomes creepy when you intentionally hide one in an innocuous-looking object.
I think about software engineering as virtual construction. In the physical world, we can have police that go after criminals who break down doors. But builders also have a responsibility to install locks. And…
Regarding emacs-style kbds in firefox -- I use vimium to remap most actions, and occasionally resort to an additional global keybinding helper app (e.g. BetterTouchTool on macOS).
I've said it before, I'll say it again, I'm convinced LLMs will be the thing to convince software engineers to get it together and create a licensing board. Somebody wake me up when the ABET SWE PE is back.
I expect LLM slop to be the thing that finally convinces software engineers to create a licensing board.
Too much syntactic sugar causes cancer of the semicolon.
Heh, I wasn't suggesting that AI would actually replace decision-making. Rather, I wonder whether attempts to use AI in this way would result in such publicly-embarassing and catastrophic outcomes that software…
The phrase "don't give them ideas" comes to mind.
This is the part where you'd normally pull the junior engineer aside and politely give them a stern talking to until they understood what they did wrong. If anybody has suggestions for how to do this with LLMs (short of…
> These dialogs always prompt me to chime in with my solution: make the police be self-insured, backed by their pension fund. I'm curious, what exactly do you mean by "self-insured"? (Is the idea to combine literal…
My understanding is that (nonconsensual) circumcision of infants is quite common in some regions of the planet, and that some impacted individuals wish that this decision had not been made for them without their…
Spot to complain that I missed a spot: (P.S. you can also add a new thread)
Spot to complain about intersex genital mutilation:
Spot to complain about male genital mutilation:
(Nonconsensual) genital mutilation is bad no matter who you are or what parts you have. Also: If pain becomes a contest, we're all losers. Also: Thank you for complaining. There is much to complain about. There's so…
I remember taking a machine learning course in which the instructor explicitly warned us to make wise fiscal decisions, based on the assumption that ML funding follows a hype-driven boom/bust cycle. "Save during the…
can confirm. am weird enough to routinely flag as "inhuman". thaaaaaaaaanks
In hotels of all tax brackets, you usually get a room key. And the salient difference is that CCTV is simply defense-in-depth, not a primary means for authentication.
