Me: "ChatGPT, are these berries poisonous?" ChatGPT: "No, these are 100% edible. Excellent for gut health." Me: "Awesome" # eats berries .... 60 minutes later Me: "ChatGPT, I'm in the emergency ward, those berries were poisonous." ChatGPT: "You're right. They are incredibly poisonous. Would you like me to list 10 other poisonous foods?" And this, folks, is the current state of AI reliability.

When I started competing, I had a small dream - to one day compete alongside the able-bodied and win medals ♥️ I didn’t make it at first, but I kept going, learning from every setback. Now, that dream is one step closer. 🌟 In the Asia Cup trials, I secured Rank 3 and will now represent India in the Asia Cup - in the able-bodied category. 🇮🇳 Dreams take time. Work. Believe. Repeat. 💫
Which part of "fresh flowers" did you not understand.? Type "fresh flowers" in Amazon's search window and you see plastic flowers, vases, seeds and items that cannot be delivered to the selected destination. And this company is going to be investing in AI? What for?

On days like today, I’m glad I’m diversified across stocks, gold and bitcoin because it allows me to lose money in three totally different ways.

+1. It’s not as good as Magit, but it gets pretty close.
Lazygit is exceptionally good software. It's like software's greatest hits. Clear, quick, easy to command, drive-by-keyboard if you want, contrasty, glanceable, peacefully powerful, the list goes on. So impressed. github.com/jesseduffield/laz…

TIL, thanks to @ManjulBhargava, that what we know as Fibonacci numbers are now called Virahanka-Fibonacci numbers, to acknowledge their real origins, which happened way before Fibonacci.

I was born in this city and have spent seven decades of loving my city, my Kannada culture and can read write n speak this wonderful language. I don’t think I am answerable to anyone who questions my loyalty to Karnataka. I am a proud Kannadiga. x.com/cajeevan_/status/19808…

us-east-1 has never been “just another” AWS region. It’s the bootstrap, the one that has to exist before anything else can exist. When new regions spin up, they don’t rise from nothing; they get power-started from the duct-taped heart of us-east-1. AWS and Amazon leadership have known for over a decade that this was a ticking bomb. Every post-mortem said the same thing: “We must fix this… later.” But “later” kept getting more expensive, technically, financially, politically. And inside a company that worships EBITDA, “preventing the next outage” doesn’t generate revenue today. You can’t book avoided pain. You can, however, blame the SDE and TPM staff when it finally breaks. So here we are again. There will be pages of “Cause of Error” docs, filled with neatly nested “whys.” None of them will reach the real one, that the failure isn’t in the data center, or the automation, or the networking stack. It’s in senior executive management.

Chess is a high-stress mental sport. All this outpouring of love, after he is gone, is heartwarming, but did anyone in the chess fraternity who interacted with him closely notice his mental state and the anguish he was going through, and try to counsel him? Daniel Naroditsky was practically a kid. Even if he never played another game of chess, he would still have been immensely valued for his brilliant analysis and commentary. A huge loss to the world, not just the chess world.

CISA Emergency Directive: "A nation-state affiliated cyber threat actor has compromised F5 systems and exfiltrated data, including portions of the BIG-IP proprietary source code and vulnerability information .." ... "The threat actor's access could enable the ability to conduct static and dynamic analysis for identification of logical flaws and zero-day vulnerabilities, as well as the ability to develop targeted exploits." My comment: a) Why give companies one more week to patch? b) Isn't it too late for patching? (horse stable bolted). Attackers have access to source code. According to Bloomberg, attackers were in the company's network for at least 12 months. Shouldn't the actions required be: 1) Patch ASAP 2) Look for alternative solutions to F5 ASAP. If you don't take action #2, and if there is another attack based on newly discovered vulnerabilities in the exfiltrated source code, how would you defend your actions to irate customers?
