Softmax is a function that maps vectors into a probability distribution. It takes an unconstrained vector and projects it onto the probability simplex, where each entry is non-negative and sums to 1.
A supply chain attack compromised the PyPI package 'lightning' versions 2.6.2 and 2.6.3, stealing credentials and attempting to poison GitHub repositories. The attack is linked to the 'mini Shai-Hulud' campaign and affects teams using lightning in their dependency tree.
The author is concerned that AI models like Claude Opus 4.7 can identify individuals from their writing style, even if they write anonymously. This could lead to a loss of anonymity for writers and potentially harm those who rely on it for protection.
The author wants to create a new forge that addresses issues with modern forges, such as enforcing pre-commit hooks, customizable PR approval, and smaller hosting units.
The writer realized they had maladaptive frugality, prioritizing saving over spending on essential expenses and experiences. They learned to reframe frugality as a tool, not a virtue, and focus on mindful spending to achieve a higher quality of life.
Oil refineries process crude oil into various products like gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel using distillation, cracking, and other processes. The refining process is complex and requires large industrial facilities to handle the massive volume of crude oil consumed worldwide.
