  1. earth.com…is a sad cesspool of ads…fitting?
  2. Maybe change the title to: “Everyone in Seattle (Everywhere?) Hates Microsoft’s AI”
  3. I’ve thought about a future where all audio is recorded (public, home, work, etc.). If this thing is real, it would allow comms in this dystopian vision. Boo
  4. …JavaScript or VS Code Extensions? (Or both)
  5. The Kaspersky article says the hackers were focused on crypto wallets, env vars, and ssh keys, but what about .azure/cache-tokens.json, .aws/creds, .gcp/creds, etc.?
  6. I got smooched by this mofo. Got an email from GitHub Sec saying a repo in my own account was deleted because of a known vuln.

    My NX Console EXTENSION in VS Code was updated after the supply chain attack was initialized by the malicious actor.

    The symptom, besides the email from GitSec, was all my terminals initialized prompted for sudo pw, because ~/.bashrc had sudo shutdown appended.

  7. Oly Chit! This is a BIG deal! Sub-page citations…in-context RAG…built-in HTML UI…this is like the holy grail of deterministic text extraction. I’m trying this ASAP Rocky.
  8. Then watch…AWS will fix it and not tell you at all. Similarly, I found that Azure Functions were saving secrets in plaintext in the SCM blade even though the Function App itself was using Key Vault References! I throughly documented the issue, reproduced it with fresh infra, filed a bug bounty, etc. Only to have Microsoft say “It’s the intended behavior” and “That’s not applicable for a bug bounty”, etc. Next month I checked the SCM area again…yeah, plaintext secrets were miraculously redacted. That’s the last time I hunt bugs for you MS!
  9. It’s because this story hints at the concept of “Unmetered AI”. It can be easily hosted locally and run with a self-hosted LLM.

    Wonder if Edison mentioned Nikola Tesla much in his writings?

  10. Eh…everything but the Cloud Platform UI/UX/Usability front. GCP portal is a hot mess. It is far worse than Azure and slightly worse than AWS.
  11. Ya know…you go once, drag your family to it, etc. It’s not a repeat excursion for locals. Without some serious interactive exhibit$, that attract schools of children, annually… doesn’t feel like a sustainable business model. Especially with that price tag. Maybe more of an add-on room to the Museum of History and Industry.
  12. And a tad more risk
  13. For me, visiting this site crashes Firefox on iOS.
  14. Smells like a knowledge graph
  15. I’d rename this “Show HN: The ChapGPT Canvas missing functionality in 10mi new of JavaScript”
  16. Careful what you wish for. There are likely billionaires considering this very thing as a method of dealing with “the AI impact”.

    They will define what “…doing social or creative work…” entails, likely contractually, and then you’re right back where you started.

    I think, we need to rethink, where this basic income originates.

        - Philanthropic individual billionaires? 
            - Mythical creatures.             
    
        - Philanthropic trillionaires (aka: large govts or corps)? 
            - Mythical creatures. 
       
        - Collective individuals (aka: you and me)?
            - Now you’re on to something.
    
    Unfortunately, organizing humans is right up there with trench digging in terms of easy work.
  17. I’ve been attempting to deploy a customized AnythingLLM instance within an enterprise env. TimC (and presumably dev crew) are top notch and very responsive.

    Waiting for EntraID integration. Post-that, a customized version of AnythingLLM can tick the boxes for most of the lowest hanging use cases for an org.

    Thanks for the killer app TimC and crew!

  18. Reflect on where I am in life, where I’ve been, where I’d like to go.

    Write (paper and pen), draw diagrams, sometimes sketch.

    If sick, watch fav movies and only do email via phone.

  19. @YCombinator: let’s go with some simple markdown parsing, eh!?
  20. I’m not a “Tech Lead”, but as a Sr. who leads emerging GenAI tech at Corpo, here’s my personal approach:

    1. Support the orgs journey - This could be everything from accross requests or ad gov queries.

    2. Experiment independentl - This is critical. If you don’t have the elbow rooms to explore, you’re likely taking directions from some turd.

    3. Experiment with business stakeholders - This is how you learn about what biz (thinks they) wants. - Also critical.

    4.(Internally) Open-source our teams findings - Try to generalize the technical components to a degree where others can utilize.

    5. Consult with AppDev Teams - Sharing best practices, methods and pointing them to the open-source components as needed.

    6. Build community - We host Bi-Weekly Task Force Meetups - Focused on tech-minded business stakeholders - On the off-weeks of these Task Force Meetups, we host: - GenAI Developers Meetups. - Focused on tech tech. - GenAI Office Hours

    Sprinkled in there are white-glove training and general consulting.

  21. The first I think of when anyone mentions agent-like “tool use” is:

    - Is the environment that the tools are run from sandboxed?

    I’m unclear on when/how/why you’d want an LLM executing code on your machine or in a non-sandboxed environment.

    Anyone care to enlighten?

  22. Huge deal for humans moving forward. ~5-8yrs too late for me (2-5yrs for product dev, 3yrs since a hemorrhagic stroke that was likely caused by serious blood pressure).

    I was 40 at the time and never measured my blood pressure (and certainly never when exercising). After the event I measured it all the time. During the 8th time of sitting in a chair, rolling up my sleeve, I thought, the Apple Watch has BP sensor, right?

    That question sent me on a quest only to find that humans had not yet figured out a way to measure blood pressure on-the-go.

    Congratulations on this effort!

  23. Also curious of data source.
  24. This site is full of ads and typos. There has to be a more authoritative source.
  25. Nice work Simon!
  26. Hahaaha! “Windows” is the absolute PERFECT analogy for this. Microsoft Windows.
  27. The Mixtral model here is quite fast. Groqishly so.
  28. I really appreciate the considerations at the bottom of the page. Excellent
  29. Humans would be a lot better off, if we could agree on what we are progressing to.

    When US has agenda of X and China had an agenda of Y, etc, we’ll be pulling at the common center of humanity.

    The feeling is pervasive in the enterprise as well. Each one protecting and petting their own agendas…fucking humans.
