I used to be extremely into Dataflow/Apache Beam and literally had the paper printed on my desk AND the book. I agree they got Event time versus processing time and Never rely on completeness right, and I love they go deeper into why t

I like the idea of simulations - maybe not in the flight simulator sense of a fixed rhythm, but more in the training in using the tools quickly sense, like a chaos monkey in your log search. My most memorable exam was Certified Kubernetes A

I'm not sure if it's just the new prompt - this has happened to a comical degree for me since a long time. For example it even refuses to translate even just single verses of old songs, I asked for a translation of Tu vuò fà l&#x2

To be fair not predicting accurately doesn't necessarily mean they are wrong - Michael Burry is the perfect example here, a market may actually just be so fraudulent (AI companies being funded by AI companies etc) that it can defy comm

My guess would be it's to build up reputation of the sending accounts, by being "connected" to trusted, aged, accounts? However, the combination of garbled text + number @ large provider on its own should be pretty suspicious

I agree quality blindness is curable. Many communities (e.g. Japanese, Swiss, Yemeni, Peruvian etc) have shown attention to detail is just a learning and, most importantly, social status process. Bugs are just the opposite of caring, and ca

A long time ago I walked into a public library to get a library card, already my ID in hand. Staff looked at me aghast "why would we need an ID for a card, that'd be ridiculous!". I feel Brits take privacy quite seriously.

Agree, I know nothing about their system but in terms of clear auditability and accountability of systems I agree it's great. Every subsystem failure or inconsistency can be clearly attributed to one or the other site/stack, and t

Minor thing but I do like they use the word "Stand In" here in the payments / financial sense of Stand-in processing (STIP), which is usually used when a bank is offline to keep essential services such as public transport wor

I do get the anxiety about new bugs but to be honest I fear more that in a few years it's so cheap to fix medium to high security bugs that lowkey hacking and finding worrying privacy violations becomes prohibitively expensive for citi

That article is a bit old but I loved this one (a bit more arty) from 2023: https://www.e-flux.com/journal/137/544999/extracting-soverei...

I didn't even necessarily mean diverting from the mission, just that optimising for network storage now reads like a feature maybe prioritised in anticipation of a stronger cloud user base

I was a real fan from the very beginning, but now DuckDB 2.0 "as a server" and 5. asynchronous I/O [1] looks aimed at something very different from what I thought first. 1) https://duckdb.org/2026/08&#x2F

As others have mentioned this is particularly prevalent in the US. I always liked that Australia's vision for a peer-to-peer payment system (note cards are mainly for merchants, hence the rewards) has inclusivity [1] as one of its core

Big +1. Uncertainty is where we learn, and where non-zero-sum games are, but most western AI labs right now operate firmly in zero-sum game territory.

Nice formatting - None of the book seems to be about "Thinking" though. It's basically an annotated syntax guide for readers from a C++ background?

$35M in credits (!) for the Defender Advantage Fund (0xDAF) doesn't sound that much given that e.g. the HAWK attack [1] cost $100k for 1 (albeit very advanced) vulnerability. As a side note, that Golden Eagle wording "bringing a w

The irony of countries blocking Anna's Archive (UK, Italy, Netherlands etc) but then it's the hackers who conserve and steward the books. Because governments can't stop AI companies from shredding history like they did with G

I think Opus 5 is the best example of this - "relentlessly proactive" agent, therefore reducing hallucinations, but at the expense of fast, factual answers and direct logical paths. Everything becomes a pamphlet compiled from firs

It's interesting that 5Rights focus shifted completely from rights to surveillance and control. Back in 2017 they still thought about a rights framework [1], the website has since been taken down. 1) https://www.leeds.ac.uk&

I'm surprised there is no breakdown of "with skills" (framework) and without. In my experience, apart from human readability, the ability of a model to follow strict skill rules is the important. For example I see a lot less

If privileged people use words like depression (without also accounting for change in diagnosis) to basically say phones should be taken away from their children so they can control their feelings more, it always reminds me of https:/

Linking Graeber's Bullshift Jobs to Workism via his concept of "spiritual violence" would have been a nice touch because it explains the drain despite the performativity (or what Baudrillard would call reproduction)
