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 huge amo

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 that Filippo is

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. Although it was a bit of a

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 they like - and it see

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 protect both of those

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 necessarily follows that af

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 the suc

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 the users - it’s thei

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 feared it’s use could

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 initially released un

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! [1] 1. https:/&#x

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 things like peas, b

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 some markets (servers

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 absence of

I happen to live near one of the larger “proper” free range farms - Sherston Free Range eggs [1]. The photos on their website really don’t lie - in fact, there’s a local pub that often has “visits” from the chickens, wandering over from the

I believe this is in part a failure of Google and other large email providers to provide clarity in the UI when registering a recovery email address. At least when this feature was first introduced, as I remember it, it was relatively easy

Sounds like pretty standard Apple App Store “reviewer roulette” to me. Each reviewer seems to read Apple’s rules differently and consistency is not clearly enforced.
