The user verified their identity on LinkedIn through Persona, a US company, and found their passport data was shared with 17 US-based subprocessors, including AI companies. The user recommends requesting data deletion and objecting to data use under "legitimate interests" due to concerns over data protection and US law enforcement access.
The author criticizes Dependabot for generating unnecessary security alerts and recommends using govulncheck and scheduled GitHub Actions to filter out irrelevant alerts.
A diving instructor discovered a critical vulnerability in a major diving insurer's member portal, exposing personal data of students, including minors, due to incrementing numeric user IDs and static default passwords. The organization responded with legal threats and an NDA, rather than gratitude and a plan to notify affected users, highlighting a common issue in the security research ...
Andrej Karpathy discusses Claws, a new layer on top of LLM agents, enhancing orchestration and task management. Claws are AI agent systems running on personal hardware, communicating via messaging protocols.
User logged into Facebook after 8 years and found their feed filled with AI-generated thirst traps and spam, but also some genuine content and memes. They were shocked by the extent of the algorithmic feed's focus on engagement bait and decided to leave the platform.
Announcement We are happy to announce that ggml.ai (the founding team of llama.cpp) are joining Hugging Face in order to keep future AI truly open. Georgi and team are joining HF with the goal of s...
Wikipedia editors have decided to deprecate Archive.today due to its involvement in a DDoS attack and altering archived webpages. Over 695,000 links to Archive.today will be removed and replaced with other archive sites.

We have comforts and memories thanks to hardworking people and generations before us. Let's show appreciation by working together and striving for progress.
The article discusses the limitations of std::mutex and introduces std::shared_mutex, a reader-writer mutex that allows multiple threads to read the same resource concurrently while ensuring exclusive access for writers. Using a benchmark experiment, the article shows that std::shared_mutex can significantly reduce contention and improve throughput under a read-heavy workload compared to std::mutex.

OAuth was designed to allow users to grant access to their accounts without sharing passwords, driven by the need for Twitter to support OpenID in 2006. The core idea of OAuth is simple: send a secret to a trusted delegate with user consent, and the delegate can make subsequent requests on the user's behalf.
Coccinelle is a tool for writing source-to-source transformations on C code, allowing for refactorings and more. It can be installed from source or downloaded pre-compiled, with instructions found at https://coccinelle.gitlabpages.inria.fr/website/download.html.
The user maintains a list of websites that generate low-quality content using AI, which can be misleading or even dangerous, and invites others to contribute to the list. The list aims to block access to AI-generated content farms that prioritize SEO and monetization over providing useful information.
Companies building AI assistants are now funded by advertising, creating a collision course with always-on devices that see and hear everything. Local on-device inference is the only way to prevent data exploitation, requiring a business model based on hardware and software sales, not data collection.
Gitas is a tool for switching between git accounts and running commands with specific identities. It can be installed on Linux, macOS, and Windows using various methods, including scripts and package managers.
The author is discussing the importance of naming conventions in preventing bugs in programming. They propose using "count" for the number of items and "index" for a specific item, with a positive invariant of index < count.
Using blue light filters at night may not be effective in improving sleep due to their limited ability to reduce light intake, and other methods such as using dark mode, dimming screen brightness, and increasing daytime light exposure can be more beneficial. Controlling light intake and exposure can help regulate the body's circadian rhythm, and taking the right dose of melatonin supplements ...
Researchers present a comprehensive survey on Large Language Models' reasoning failures, categorizing them into embodied, informal, and formal types, and addressing root causes and mitigation strategies. The survey aims to unify research efforts and guide future development of more reliable and robust reasoning capabilities in LLMs.
Taalas developed a platform to transform AI models into custom silicon, resulting in faster, cheaper, and lower power hardware. Their first product, a hard-wired Llama 3.1 8B, achieves 10X faster performance, 20X lower cost, and 10X lower power consumption than current state-of-the-art solutions.
OpenScan offers affordable, open-source 3D scanners for everyone. Our community-driven project combines photogrammetry with modular hardware to create high-quality 3D models. From hobbyists to professionals, OpenScan empowers users worldwide to explore 3D scanning in various fields. Join us in making 3D scanning accessible and push the boundaries of digital preservation and creation.
Current AI models are good at planning and breaking down tasks into subproblems, but existing frameworks require developers to predefine the coordination structure. A new framework, Cord, uses a protocol with five primitives and allows agents to understand and use coordination tools they've never seen before, enabling them to decompose tasks and parallelize work on their own.
The Document Foundation accuses OnlyOffice of being "fake open-source" for partnering with Microsoft and defaulting to proprietary file formats. This move is seen as a replay of Microsoft's past attempts to enforce vendor lock-in through proprietary standards.
By now, hopefully, you have read Peter Ludlow's account of recent events in Second Life and perhaps have also followed along with the comments and disputes that have surrounded this post. By now, hopefully, you've started to form your own opinion about what happened, why it happened, what it all means, and perhaps, what constitutes the borders between griefing and anti-griefing in ...
The user set up a cloud-edge continuum testbed for a computer vision demo using MLSysOps, a framework that enables custom policies to adapt application deployment and runtime behavior. A subtle problem arose due to etcd timing out due to slow storage, which was resolved by optimizing ZFS settings on the NUC, teaching the user that distributed systems have strong opinions about their infrastructure.
Free search across 91,000+ US mines from the MSHA open dataset. Filter by state, commodity, mine type, and operator. Mine locations, production history, and employee data — updated weekly.
Acme Weather addresses forecast uncertainty by providing multiple predictions and community reports to help users plan their day. The app uses various data sources and allows users to submit real-time reports of current conditions near them.
The user wants to sync personal Git repos between devices without relying on cloud services. They've found a simple solution by using a bare Git repository on an external drive or SSH-accessible location, and syncing with devices using Git's push and pull commands.
