I assume OP interpreted it as encryption that hides the prompts from OpenAI rather than OpenAI hiding information from users.

Maybe not that bad, stopping the accelerator means the storage requirements drop now that data is no longer being taken. Storage is instead just used for simulation and reprocessin…

No they're not. At CERN physics data is on: * CTA for tape storage: https://cta.docs.cern.ch/v5/ * EOS for disk storage: https://eos-web.web.cern.ch/eos-web/ There is a large CEPH …

This is very real, but such CVEs are such a tiny fraction in relation to denial-of-service-due-to-regex that it’s hard to take the system seriously. So far as I’m concerned the sol…

The key point here is the “pay less” part. I know people that have turned down offers from meta that would 5x their salary and their personal situation would notably improve from a…

For anyone who thinks this might matter for security: * curl is mature enough that the chance of an impactful bug is basically zero * if there is such a bug, I'm sure someone will …

To be fair, the entire problem space sucks and I’m not sure it’s possible not to.

I can't comment outside of Geneva but it's hardly "slave wages": * https://www.mission-geneve.dfae.admin.ch/en/manual-labour-mi... * (scroll to the cost breakdown) https://batmaid.…

In 1910 the foreign-born population was 14.7% and the drop around WWII was caused by other factors. Much of the industrialisation and banking industry was driven by immigrants. Arg…

As with everything it's complicated but it's more true than not: https://nccr-onthemove.ch/indicators/how-qualified-are-migra... More importantly, education isn't everything. Half …

It's not impossible, but Switzerland's geography means tunneling is involved in adding capacity which makes it very expensive. Also the beautiful synchronisation of a country-wide …

It's not simple with the "clock-face scheduling" system which is used which times the trains to all meet at the big nodes (Zürich, Bern, Basel) so connections work. To achieve this…

In early 2023, I was debugging an issue in a long abandoned package that used OpenSSL and needed to be fixed for OpenSSL 3. The entire thing was a mess and the parts of OpenSSL it …

As far as I know nobody has ever tried to read one ;)

The abstraction isn’t really a thing any more. It was a nice idea but in practice it’s an operational nightmare not knowing if data is available and for how long it will be. For re…

Latin and Greek aren’t one of the working languages at CERN (French and English are)

See this conference talk from last week: https://indico.cern.ch/event/1471803/contributions/6967379/ There isn’t a recording but slides at linked from that page.

It’s also French for Beaver which is more likely the origin of the name.

I’m a little confused by this submission. CASTOR is the old system that has since been replaced by the CERN Tape Array since ~2020: https://cta.web.cern.ch/cta/ This is mentioned o…

It doesn't matter if the length changes provided: * you measure the round trip time often enough * the shift affects light in both directions equally
