    Mmm it's still a toss up. Humans are also non-deterministic AF but I'm sure you're familiar with the 'common pitfalls' trope. The 'mea culpa' guy did mislead the Daring Fireball gu…

    In this case, the model infiltrated an external organization's infrastructure. What's the dollar cost it caused Hugging Face to clean up the mess? If a person did this, they'd be a…

    I've recently been using podman on SELinux... :Z and :z seem to work fine across both podman and docker for writeable volumes. Am I missing something?

    Even in a notebook it's a pain... import plotnine as p9 would be nicer.

    Great, this will be the savior of software devs - as the last memory safety bugs are being patched, a whole new world of javascript multithreading issues to fix opens up.

    Depends on the domain. There's a bunch of sciences using large datasets served up efficiently using static file formats, e.g., https://zarr.dev/ and https://parquet.apache.org/

    Curl had a prominent bug bounty programme, has 180k lines of prod code, and is mainly a client app/lib. I would look at other projects before making judgements about mythos on this…

    Fair point but AWS is also highly extensible, and i'm not sure about Palantir but i guess it must be too to a point? Maybe it's a classic case of good abstractions vs bad ones
