They work with HFT/quant firms. Look at some of their former engineers who are now at matX. Intel/Barefoot Tofino 2, VHDL/SystemVerilog, FPGA, QSFP28 (100GbE networking), P4 progra…

Oh this was on company issued devices, I don’t keep the source code! I was just explaining how this is something that probably should have triggered an investigation, but didn’t.

You’re so right, I totally forgot how normalised it was to take common functions and classes and factories. I guess ultimately, it was all worthless anyway thanks to LLM’s. I actua…

The only _public_ example we know. This is definitely being done with private models by HFT/quant firms, data processing agencies/orgs (large intelligence agencies, _every_ data an…

Data theft (i.e. taking corporate IP) was normalised until very recently (I'd say the last 2-3 years with the rise of the adoption of DLP and public litigation). A few examples I c…

8800 GTX in 2006: 768 MB of GDDR3, with 86.4 GB/s of theoretical memory bandwidth. GTX 1080 in 2016: 8 GB of GDDR5X, with 320 GB/s. RTX 5090 in 2026: 32 GB of GDDR7, with 1.792 TB/…

8800 GTX in 2006. Cutting-edge, an insanely powered consumer card for the time. Theoretically around 0.3456 TFLOPS. 1080 GTX in 2016. Cutting-edge, an insanely powerful consumer ca…

Pixels can be faked. 70mm IMAX, as Nolan intended, is the ideal setup.

In my experience, this is the path many developers take. I’ve consulted to hundreds of companies over the years, and it’s alarming how often I’ve encountered decisions driven by wh…

This is what happens when you give people tools that let them achieve an outcome, without necessarily giving them the judgement or expertise to know whether the outcome is any good…

Doesn’t appear to be at feature parity to GAM yet. https://github.com/GAM-team/GAM/wiki

Pick the longest answer, you’re right 97% of the time. This is true of any LLM-generated quiz.

I’m glad we could establish the ad is wearing a hat. https://youtu.be/lC5lsemxaJo

So, consider this a layman explanation of why this change is bad from someone who spends their time securing end-users. This change is good for the majority of users, but is actual…

For tech B2B companies where the founders or executive team hold the majority stake in the organisation, yes. A failure to disclose or respond when there is a public notice on an .…

There's already a playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mUvvqf3A2l68yA...

It makes sense when you have a somewhat fixed core team size. Frankly, in some regards, this is the responsible thing to do. It means they’ll never grow modules or the codebase bey…

What you’re concerned about doesn’t stop at the employer. Anyone with access to data being processed about you may have incentives that align similarly with your employer’s use cas…

It's moreso the "AI-isms" that irk me. It's interesting, but I'm not finishing the video because once I notice it -- I can't help but focus on it. Instead, I tl;dr'd the transcript…

Such a list will never exist in an organisation of this size, with the amount of delegated management and operations required for these functions. In fact, it’s unlikely such a lis…

Alpine is a great choice.. Provided you understand what’s included, and the ramifications it has on the stack you’re trying to work with. 99 times out of 100 it’s a terrible choice…

Agree, see the Delve fiasco. But that’s not their job. Their job is literally checkbox. However some audits are so poorly done, or have auditors with zero real world engineering or…

Sometimes good change comes from compliance. More than once I’ve seen major product resource shift to address major cybersecurity gaps, in response to a compliance led audit. Compl…
