Yes. And chat outputs normally include footnoted links to sources, so clicking a link produced by Sydney/Bing would be normal and expected user behavior.

Not if the index is responsive to a Sydney/Bing request (which I imagine might be desirable for meeting reasonable 'web-enabled chatbot' ux requirements). You could test this appro…

Doh -- of course, thanks -- I should have gone there first. Would be interesting to see RemoteAddr but I think the RemoteAddr value doesn't affect my worry.

Sure, but I think directness doesn't matter here -- what matters is just whether a url that originates in a Sydney call chain ends up in a GET received by some external server, how…

I hope that's right. I guess you (I mean someone with Bing Chat access, which I don't have) could test this by asking Sydney/Bing to respond to (summarize, whatever) a url that you…

Wait a minute. If Sydney/Bing can ingest data from non-bing.com domains then Sydney is (however indirectly) issuing http GETs. We know it can do this. Some of the urls in these GET…

On the business logic side, speaking mainly from experience in enterprise software consulting (and some related research work): the domain is often complex enough, and the knowledg…

Copypasta from other codebases happen to work better in non-production environments because the input space is smaller in virtually any non-prod runtime space than in prod. This ma…

There's some empirical work on how developers encounter and respond to naming anti-patterns e.g. http://www.veneraarnaoudova.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/2... and associated goog…

Debugging is useful even from a merely academic perspective if engineering is an academic discipline (I think it is). Reality pushes up against you, so you figure out what it's doi…

(1) 'Exchange between strangers is a unique feature of us modern hominids' isn't really falsifiable without begging the question or establishing a hard boundary between kin and non…

Sometimes as a discipline/indulgence I go to a coffee shop that charges exorbitantly for wifi so I cost myself immediately measurable and painful (because exorbitant) cash if I don…

This is awesome, thanks. Obligatory 'zoomout' recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/Mathematics-Content-Methods-Meaning-V... , which I learned about from HN ( http://hackernewsboo…

Well, even non-hard, very simply functional/x-ray naming sloppiness causes plenty of grief, but I think this is partly because we're used to naming being hard enough that -- at a c…

Everything I've read by Chaitin is interesting and thoughtful, but this piece is particularly accessible and entertaining: https://arxiv.org/abs/math/0303352

Gartner/Forrester approach is great but I think a little more useful for the business planning side (the time dimension is more about market value). Similar vein but more on the 't…
