  • OpenAI admits responsibility for HuggingFace Attack - an agent from an internal evaluation is reportedly the cause

    Jump

  • From the HuggingFace article:

    With node root and forged service-account tokens valid for 24 hours, the agent read the cluster's secret objects, including a production object holding 136 keys.

  • The Right to Leave: How W3C's New LOLA Standard Aims to Solve Fediverse Account Migration | Open Social Directory

    Jump

  • The whole thing about moving from centralized to decentralized had a core glitch. Whatever server you signed on would effectively lock you in. What happened if things didn't go as planned? LOLA is a good step, but it's still not enough.

    Long time ago, URNs were designed to handle URLs that moved. These were permanent resource indicators that would allow the underlying data to move but not break the link. The HTTP redirect codes were supposed to help. Idea was, a website could redirect to a new location so clicking on a link would never get you a 404. It assumed both source and target site were still accessible so source could send the 301, 302, 307, or 308 codes. Very genteel. But what if the source site or account were zapped or suddenly blocked?

    Redirect codes work if the owner moved them and has now set up a suggested next location. But it doesn't handle the negative reasons. Getting forcibly banned, site getting hacked, sites shutting down, owner not paying the bill (for economic, health, or political reasons), anything else that could render the content inaccessible. It's nice to add constructs to avoid getting account hacked. But what if owner is in jail, muffled, coerced, going through a tough personal stretch, or dead?

    They still need to solve for real life and how shit happens.

  • What’s the most expensive thing you’ve eaten/drank?

    Jump

  • Corporate customer dinner in Vegas, footed by sales director, who insisted on ordering the most expensive bottle of scotch on the menu.

    It was pretty good, but pretty sure not worth the high 4-digits.

    He did get to close the sale 🤷🏻‍♂️

  • What was the conversation about sex and drugs like in your home growing up?

    Jump

  • My dad took me for a drive when I was 15. Awkwardly asked if I knew about women. I lied and said yes. He was visibly relieved. That was the end of it.

    My wife and I made sure our kids had multiple sex talks, quizzed them about scenarios (especially involving STDs and consent), and gave them starter 3-packs of condoms.

    We're not leaving things to chance. We also factored the future therapy bills into the equation.

  • Don't EVER use any public wifi without a proper VPN. As soon as you connect, launch the VPN. Hotels, museums, conferences, coffeshop, busses and trains, and library wifis are the worst. Even homes of friends.

    Flock Safety CEO speaks out after LAPD suspends use of company's surveillance cameras

  • What's something you know about philosophy?

    Jump

  • There are many branches in philosophy, and it's easy to mix them up. Depends on what you're into.

    • Ethics: notions of right and wrong and moral values.
    • Epistemology: questions of knowledge. How do we know what we know.
    • Metaphysics: ideas of space, time, existence.
    • Aesthetics: appreciation of art, beauty, music, literature, etc.
    • Logic: for the math-oriented. How do we reason and arrive at conclusions? If X, then Y.
    • Language: how we communicate. Meaning of words, symbols, and metaphors.
    • Phrenology: method of relieving cranial pressures.
    • Science: how to reason about the physical world.
    • Religion: Understanding the divine and how we fit in.

  • Just forwarded the search link to a friend. He coauthored a long out-of-date book on podcasting, and it's on their list. A lot of these authors will get a nice bonus.

  • 'Rust makes coding fun again': Why Linux is moving away from C, according to Greg Kroah-Hartman

    Jump

  • Rust has a lot more 'batteries included' than C, and the memory ownership model works a lot better than garbage collection or C's YOLO model. It also has built-in async/await. But you're pretty much in the same boat as C when it comes to multiprocessing or thread-safety.

    Anyone building a long-running backend service would be wise to take a serious look at Rust. Personally, I'm glad Linus is open to change and isn't digging his heels in on this one.

  • Hands On With The Hidizs AP30 Music Boy; A Game Boy-Inspired Music Player With Audiophile Ambitions

    Jump

  • It's really unfortunate Apple dropped the iPod Nano. The ones with a physical scroll wheel and small display were just the right size for sticking in your pocket and going for a walk, run, or bike. Great way to leave distractions behind.

    This one looks like it's got some good design ideas. Nowadays, most people have streaming playlists. If they add software to snapshot those playlists onto the device in high quality, they might have something.

  • How hard is it to build orbital data centers, actually?

    Jump

  • Google and Microsoft already tried underwater data centers to better handle heat dissipation. It wasn't worth it. Hardware can fail and you need somebody to go in and swap boards and faulty cables. Every complex system has multiple points of failure. The wrong board and the whole container stops working. It was so much pain trying to maintain it under water they all gave up after the Proof of Concept stage.

    How are they going to deal with it cost effectively up in orbit? Little nanosat modules? Humanoid robots that barely work today?

    Be a lot cheaper (and faster) sending a tech in a little cargo van and a toolbox out to the suburbs of Memphis, Phoenix, or Bakersfield.

  • Fear of humanoid robots spurs human workers to strike at Hyundai auto factory

    Jump

  • Hyundai USA has been taking social influencer types on tours of their GA factory lately.

    The location is pretty sparse already. Super automated. Mainly floor lift robots rolling partly assembled cars from station to station, with big Fanuc arms moving and welding other parts. All pre-programmed. Nothing we haven't already seen in Chinese car factories. They all hide the final assembly stages requiring humans fitting and finishing the harnesses and sensitive parts.

    In the last video I saw, Hyundai had sprinkled their tour route with a few Boston Dynamics robots. The humanoid one was just standing around. The Spot yellow doggy ones, however, were doing synchronized dancing, similar to what they did on America's Got Talent. Nobody's figured out what to do with them that doesn't require machine-gun attachments. They're so desperate they're even floating them as glorified package delivery platforms: https://www.theverge.com/tech/965378/boston-dynamics-spot-robot-dog-delivery-assistant

    If all these robots were anywhere ready near for full production, you can bet they would be showing them building the whole car. Boston Dynamics, despite all the robot gymnastics and being around for 30+ years, has not really shipped anything commercially viable. It's already been passed around to Google, Softbank, and now Hyundai, and its CEO of many years just resigned in February.

    My guess is this is all a lot of marketing flaff.
