This could be bad for supply chain attacks. Basically the xz hack. Step 1. Helpful person starts committing useful PRs and offers to help out until they get commit rights. I don’t think this is hard to achieve generally. Step 2. Organised c

It’s about externalities. The private companies aren’t paying for the damage they are causing. It’s ultimately borne by the public. Very similar to a factory that poisons a river if there’s no disincentive not to. Better would be if we coul

London seems to manage this petty well. I think it’s quite healthy for a city to commingle folk from different income groups rather than house them in specific areas.

I’m surprised that this “talent hoarding” approach happens. I’d love to hear from someone who works at a company that does it. My experience in tech has been that to hire a good employee is expensive. Consuming time from recruiters, HR and

Just found the thread pretty interesting as it combines global politics, trade, military interventions, supply chain logistics and hard computer problems in one.

I’m surprised there is no liability for facilitating scams / fraud on the ad networks given that they’re making money on it.

It’s likely that the grade school math that was referenced is GSM8K https://github.com/openai/grade-school-math which LLMs perform poorly on.

Yeah! Back in the day, the Rhino implementation of JavaScript had serialisable continuations on top of the JDK. I wrote a workflow engine with them. There are some interesting challenges: - deserialising them into the same environment - hoo

This is pretty neat. Somewhat related: I’ve been intrigued by serialisable continuations forever. The idea of machine and time independent control flow in a regular programming language could be quite useful eg: response = send_email_

It will be interesting to see how it handles transitive dependencies through a supply chain you don’t control. Same issue as “this 3rd party npm package depends on an insecure version of X” but at a function level.
