I reminded my #DistributedSystems class today that DNS is a global, decentralized, eventually consistent database with a continuous uptime and client compatibility window of 40 years, and I'm not sure that they were suitably impressed.

I've 8 years of experience as an MIT software engineer specializing in research simulation platform projects. I would prefer: not creating the next big AI thing, not making weapons, never having to think about blockchain anything.

Anyone got anything?

사람들은 분기 단위별로 개선이 되길 바라는데 현실에서 플젝 해보신분들은 아시겠지만... (잘난척하는것은 아닙니다 ㅠㅠ) 사내 사외 온갖 이상한 이유로 망한 플젝 한 5-10개 위로 한두개가 잘되서 거기서 발전이 나오는 구조입니다;; 이러면 5년 넘게 걸리는 경우가 많고요 조별과제는 매우 어렵습니다... 2명 조별과제인 결혼도 어려운데 이게 몇백 몇천 단위로 돌아가는것이 한방에 잘되면 이상한것임;;

요새 AI 관련 기사는 보통 자극적으로 작성이 되는데 딱히 신경써서 볼 필요는 없다고 생각함다... 닷컴 버블시절에도 수많은 회사들이 무리하게 통신 인프라에 투자했고 어떻게 이걸 써야하나 다들 우왕좌왕하는 사이에 리턴이 그만큼 당장 안나오는것 같으니까 버블이 꺼졌고 혼란스러운 시기가 지나갔는데 그 잿더미 위로 살아남은 기업들이 있었고 실제로 발전을 했고 생활을 개선을 했죠 ㅎㅎ; 가까이서 본 분들은 잘 아시겠지만 경영진들과 CEO들도 사실 잘 모릅니다 그냥 잘 아는척만 하는 경우가 많고 나중에 뒷북치는 경우가 많고 등등

I want you to spread the word that Tim O'Reilly of O'Reilly Media is forcing his editors to "use" Gen AI as much as possible. The book I wrote for them, Hacker Culture: A to Z, is probably the last non-tech manual they ever published that isn't tainted by Gen AI.

I quit my goddamn fucking professor position at OPIT because I would rather risk my ability to pay my rent than subject my students to Gen AI "e proctoring."

“Russia’s use of first-person view (FPV) drones to strike mainly civilian targets in the Ukrainian near rear is indicative of a pervasive culture within the Russian Armed Forces that seeks to both weaponize and institutionalize intentional civilian harm as a purposeful tool of war.”

The previous homeowner had great taste and picked super unique appliances and lighting fixtures for the house but dang it's so hard to find replacement parts for these things 😵

Some of these I could only get by ordering online, while some others are no longer supplied so I have to replace the whole thing.

I feel like software development is the same.
Sometimes you'd inherit a codebase, the dependencies become outdated and need update/replacement, so now it becomes your maintenance nightmare.

Microsoft says a Microsoft 365 Copilot bug has been causing the AI assistant to summarize confidential emails since late January, bypassing data loss prevention (DLP) policies that organizations rely on to protect sensitive information.

For some reason it hasn’t put out a security advisory - but instead buried it in a service alert which isn’t publicly visible.
