It's the first book I read about computer history and made me interested in tech, a career I love doing every day :) this talk made me very happy.

I think so. Maybe dang or tomhow could switch the link :) The social rules work so well that I wish tech cos would just adopt these as baseline. They make interacting with other technical folks much more enjoyable.

It's interesting to me to see how easily you can reach a much safer C without adding _everything_ from C++ as a toy project. I really enjoyed the read! Though yes, you should probably just write C-like C++ at that point, and the result

I've seen Optuna used with some of the prompt optimization frameworks lately, where it's a really great fit and has yielded much better results than the "hyperparameter" tuning I had attempted myself. I can't stop m

So for Amazon, I used to work there and not sure I can talk about specifics, but there was AGPL software used outside of the AMIs but they were approved on a case by case basis. Ghostscript is public and used in the AMIs that are shipped st

Is Amazon Linux a common Linux distro? If so, it's often distributed with AGPL licensed code, I can think of a few pieces of software it has that are AGPL. They haven't been able to do internal forks of Ghostscript, if they were e

Yes, that's the MongoDB variant which codifies it directly, and SF Conservancy and other legal entities promotion FOSS licenses states that the network stack contagion concern does not actually apply for the AGPL. But because AGPL does

Wrt to the legal concerns with AGPL, they're not actually that it wouldn't provide any protection, but rather that it might offer the originally distributing entity too much power: legal power to declare all software used in the s

Yea, as someone building systems with VLMs, this is downright frightening. I'm hoping we can get a good set of OWASP-y guidelines just for VLMs that cover all these possible attacks because it's every month that I hear about a n
