We were advised by the legal team that manages us, but the team itself never agreed. We don’t want to go down the typical ed-tech route here. He’s just a kid, there’s no point in dragging this further. On the bright side, one good thing came out of this: a lot of security folks tried breaking in through different ways, and it looks like most of our systems are holding up well. In a way, we got some free testing out of it, haha. Let’s just treat this as part of the learning phase.

Crowdstrike just put out steps to remediate the current outage on the end users side. They've emailed them out to every customer and partner. Go check your inboxes! For those that don't understand what is going on there is a major outage of tons of services and businesses going on globally right now. There is a work around but it is more difficult for companies that encrypted their drives with tools like bitlocker. Some stuff won't work today and it may take a while to fix it all. Steps are in the image attached:

@scottsauber @davidpine7 I also recommend optimizing ChainedTokenCredential for production use in Azure. For example, add ManagedIdentityCredential first, followed by VisualStudioCredential. The chain only evaluates VisualStudioCredential when running on the local dev machine.

It is of paramount importance that the management of a research lab be composed of reputable scientists. Their main jobs are to: 1. Identify, recruit, and retain brilliant and creative people. 2. Give them the environment, resources, and freedom to do their best work. 3. Identify promising research directions (often coming from the researchers themselves) and invest resources in them. Put the scientists in charge and get out of the way. 4. Be really good at detecting BS, not necessarily because scientists are dishonest, but often because they are self-deluded. It's easy to think you've invented the best thing since sliced bread. Encouraging publications and open sourcing is a way to use the research community to help distinguish good work from not-so-good work. 5. Inspire researchers to work on research projects that have ambitious goals. It's too easy and less risky to work on valuable improvements that are incremental. 6. Evaluate people in ways that don't overly focus on short-term impact and simple metrics (e.g. number of publications). Use your judgment. That's why you get paid the big bucks. 7. Insulate rogue-but-promising projects from the scrutiny of upper management. A watched pot never boils. Planned innovation and 6-months milestones never bring breakthroughs. You can't do any of this cat herding jobs unless you are an experienced, talented, and reputable scientist with a research record that buys you at least some legitimacy in the eyes of the scientists in your organization.

If this is accurate, then NVIDIA's grip on the tech industry has just vanished. Matrix matrix multiplication (MatMul) is notoriously computationally difficult, which is why it's offloaded to GPUs. If MatMul can be avoided, then it's not just leveling the playing field. It's creating new playing fields.

This is really a 'WOW' paper. 🤯 Claims that MatMul operations can be completely eliminated from LLMs while maintaining strong performance at billion-parameter scales and by utilizing an optimized kernel during inference, their model’s memory consumption can be reduced by more

The JSON serializer has an internal buffer and will flush to the underlying stream when it reaches a threshold (90% of that buffer being full). When serializer sees an IAsyncEnumerable, it will either flush to the underlying stream when it reaches the flush threshold or when the IAsyncEnumerable goes async and has no more data to provide synchronously. When you use Task.Yield, you’re forcing that behavior

If you’re wondering if multi cloud is a good idea…

Google Cloud accidentally deleted a company's entire cloud environment (Unisuper, an investment company, which manages $80B). The company had backups in another region, but GCP deleted those too. Luckily, they had yet more backups on another provider. theguardian.com/australia-news…

Not happening. Removing access from Steam players unless they make a PSN account and link it months after release is absurd. Review changed to negative and I have filed for a refund.

Holy hannah! Disabling web search on the start menu makes it so much faster and effective. No lag at all anymore! HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search Make a new DWORD (32-bit) called: BingSearchEnabled Ensure the value = 0

I love dotnet fr but some of y'all need to go to therapy for the way you abuse reflection 😭

Wait… is this an option?

How junior developer solve the bugs

My favorite bug among the vulnerabilities I presented today! 😆 The original intent was to compare the password. However, the developer copy-and-pasted the code but forgot to replace the variable name. That leads to the Authentication Bypass on IIS.

Developer rituals before the production release 😂 Remember, Don’t deploy on Friday! 😎

As a tech lead or eng manager, you so frequently get request from above or from other teams to drop what you are doing and work on this thing they need, *now*. During my 4 years at Uber after asking these questions, 9 out of 10 times it turned out it wasn't really urgent:
