Why is inference less attainable when it technically requires less GPU processing to run? Kimi has a chat app on their page using K2 so they must have figured out inference to some extent.
> Users don't have the same life experience as security people and sometimes a user simply do not know how to verify a link on e.g. his iPhone.
Later...
> My password is mine. I control my password. I own my password. I am not dependent upon some third party closed proprietary operating system or device to handle my security. I would rather have a piece of paper with all my passwords written down, stored in a drawer at home
So the general public apparently lacks the ability to verify the url in an email, but _do not_ lack the ability to safely control their password? You completely ignore the ability of the site administrator to safely control your password by the way.
Altruistic as it may be to be anti-Big Tech, they are pushing the needle forward on cybersecurity. Looking at Apple, they invested millions into a special biometric device that ensures the fingerprint cannot be retrieved by *anyone*.
Also, I missed the part of this article where a quote was identified that hardware keys are for the entire population of the world? We do not roll keys out to every single employee - you're right about that. It's an interoperability nightmare. We do roll keys out to critical staff though. CEOs, COOs, high profile figures, critical service admins, etc. These folks are already trained and understand exactly why this initiative is so important; usually because they themselves have been targeted already.
Hardware keys are a great thing. I'm frankly getting really exhausted reading about how every new solution must be engineered to fit every single human of planet earth's needs. Its simply not designed with them in mind because they're simply not ready yet. It is what it is.
Nuclear power plants don't air gap controls because they hope the same system is used by Walmart down the street. They do it because their risk is... well... nuclear. Hardware keys in tech are no different.
I took a year off. I couldn't exactly afford it, and I didn't exactly sign up for it either (laid off). But it was exactly what I needed.
I lost a loved one and mistakenly assumed work peers would understand that I was struggling. They didn't. No secret the workplace makes people astoundingly cold. This left me feeling bitter at the industry.
Towards the 8 month mark I started to have a different crisis: I still didn't want to work again. Would I ever want to work again? Just in the knick of time I did find my stride. My point is that it took patience. You're in the wrong environment for that.
I'm sure you've heard this before but your work doesn't care about you. Your co-workers don't care about you. If you put even a small amount of care or emotion into the job you're playing yourself.
Your kid matters. Your job doesn't. Your deadlines are a lie made up by someone who should be focused on going to therapy. Sounds like you're a driven, talented individual. Take a break for you and your kid. That ambitious drive won't leave you just because you took a break to focus on what actually matters.
Second this. From using LLM within my daily IC workflow, its not that developers are getting a productivity boost, its that our job became more enjoyable. I didn't even realize how much frustration builds up over time while relying on google search for things such as that one obscure api method i forgot the name of. I have to dig and dig...
Somehow using GPT in its place has brought a noticeable bump to my quality of life. Most of my dev colleagues share this sentiment.
Impact on the tech economy from this? Unknown.
Get the work done, have excellent communication skills (planning, reliability, accountability), and finding good remote/TC work shouldn't be much of an issue (even in this climate).
The personal computer was a fad. The internet was a fad. Bitcoin was a fad. AI is a fad. Its going to take more than 6 months to materialize. Hang in there.
I mean no disrespect, but this is incredibly depressing, and the result is a few million dollars?
I didn't see any mention about doing what you are passionate about. Maybe it was implied by the result: save 2 million dollars, startup with no prior experience of doing so, instant success because $$$, then die of cancer because you ate nothing but ramen for 15 years?
You do you, but there is so much more to life - so many mistakes to be made - than living like Gladiator so you can be "retired", whatever that's supposed to mean.
If you want to make software, do it because you love it. If you want to make coffee, do it because you love it.
Love your family. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. You may die poor (maybe not!), but you will surely die very happy.
Started as plug-and-play security for web apps 5 years ago. The space got saturated so I decided to take on a new challenge and secure firmware. Securing "crypto" came about out of my network and demand, but then crypto took a dive again :)
I feel super grateful to finally have others working on it with me, but we all work on it for free for now...
I'm super excited about this space, specifically about securing ARM firmware. There is a ton of room to grow!
Buying a house. Lender immediately sold my email and phone number and I’ve been getting about a dozen aggressive sales messages a day. But hey, maybe it’s just a few bad apples.
I have no idea what I'm doing so it's a night-and-day kernel programming experience to be able to commit container state; conduct experiments; reset back to a clean state; in one command.
Another key element that makes this so useful to me is that I work on a macbook (gasp), and hacky stuff I have to do in that context is the first source of blame when e.g. a header gives weird type issues.
Facebook is irreparably doomed as a social network, but will continue to thrive as a software innovator (React, osquery, graphQL, etc).
The question becomes whether leadership will set their ego aside, stop trying to make the world like them, and own the actual future. No generation wants a Metaverse. Literally no one was asking for it until crypto got kicked out of Mom's house and needed a reason to crash on the couch.
I agree with you though: Facebook _optimized_ as it is trying to do with the eyeballs of all humans (e.g. VR color theory). Problem is that society learned its lesson. We became aware of how software aggregates our behavior for major ad deals with no regard for our collective health – mental & physical. Just like smoking in 1950, Facebook had its day. It's time to change some laws based on what we learned and get back to building genuinely cool stuff.
