That seems absolutely crazy to do. One could argue that the marginal cost to work for using a work laptop is zero and the work is still yours (still beyond the risk I’m willing to take). Using a company’s AI account is literally using the company’s resources for a personal project. There is no plausible case where they don’t own it.

But Apple has always made their image quality not cost effectiveness. Pivoting here too drastically could sacrifice their image and backfire

But given the hoopla about how a driver’s license isn’t valid in the SAVE act because it doesn’t prove you’re a US citizen, how is drivers license verification going to satisfy the US national requirement here?

I know agents are out of scope of this RFC but I love that this could easily be extended to make the JS EventSource to work on streaming AI queries.

Due to the need of bodies in requests, everyone uses POST and streaming results often use the text/event-stream protocol for responses. But this is technically a bad fit because no state is actually changing and because EventSource can only use GET for some obstinate reason. So many APIs reimplement the functionality with their own parser

But it should be their job to protect against MitM in their threat model. There is no rational reason to exclude them from the bug bounty. Doing so only leaves MitM attacks like this undisclosed.

I’m not diagnosed face blind but I’m hoooooorble with names. It’s weird because I’ve been tested and score in the 98th percentile for memory generally.

I hung out with a large group of people for nearly a decade and couldn’t remember who was who until the pandemic. The names under zoom helped me gradually learn over weeks.

When I teach scuba I recite the list of student names for my class in as random an order as possible while I drive to the shop to lower my cognitive load to put faces to names. When I do roll call, I write down every person’s name and try to gradually move off the cheat sheet as I call on them to answer questions. But once they put on their gear (especially since I teach where they use hoods) it all goes downhill. Two white guys approximately 35yo? I’ll get them confused.

If this were socially appropriate I’d totally use it as my prescription glasses to help continue smoothing the curve.

That used to be my thing: wherever our ops manager declared something was impossible, I’d put my mind to proving her wrong. Even though we both knew she might declare something impossible prematurely to motivate me.

My favorite was “it’s impossible to know which DB is failing from a stack trace”. I created STAIN (stack traces and instance names): a ruby library that would wrap an object in a viral proxy (all returns from all methods are themselves proxies) that would intercept all exceptions and annotate the call stack with the “stain”ed tag.

No. Absolutely not. The opposite in fact. Your bash script is deterministic. You can send it to 20 AIs or have someone fluent read it. Then you can be confident it’s safe.

An LLM will run the probabilistically likely command each time. This is like using Excel’s ridiculous feature to have a cell be populated by copilot rather than having the AI generate a deterministic formula.

There was a coffee shop ages ago in SF that would every few hours play a cacophony (e.g. multiple songs at once). I assume it was to drive away people camping on their laptops to rotate tables. Understand but super annoying to people like me who had a timer to but food or drink no less than hourly to be a good citizen

Nice. I didn’t know I can now replace my “assertExhaustive” function.

Previously you could define a function that accepted never and throws. It tells the compiler that you expect the code path to be exhaustive and fixes any return value expected errors. If the type is changed so that it’s no longer exhaustive it will fail to compile and (still better than satisfies) if an invalid value is passed at runtime it will throw.

Is this meant to be a defense of the DNS protocol? I’ve never assumed the meme was that the DNS protocol is flawed, but that these changes are particularly sensitive/dangerous.

At Google we noticed the main cause of outages are config changes. Does that mean external config is dangerous? Of course not! But it does remind you to be vigilant
