IMHO, yes. It's an attempt at remote code execution. If I don't like windows, should I add a if else clause that deletes the home directory if the code is running on windows?
This looks like a security nightmare in case someone decides to publish this interface publicly. Prompt injection to exfiltrate sensitive Information being on the top of the list.
I just watched all the other videos of their pieces, and all of them are absolutely amazing conceptual explorations of our relationship with technology. Really amazing stuff
Some content simplifies the problems to such a high degree, that this is more a game of "guess what I wanted you to answer" than anything else.
Eg "Your only senior developer knows the entire code. He just asked for a 200% raise or he leaves."
- Pay
- Fire and hire 2 juniors
- Give equity
I chose give equity and it was "wrong" because they turned out to be a "bad founder". How would I even know that? I hired them in the first place right? And 200% of what? Do I have money to pay them? Am I a startup that is able to pay them or is paying going to risk the entire company?
PS: the "right" answer was "hire 2 junior developers" btw
I was thinking exactly this. People consume processed foods because they highjack our evolutionary responses. If GLP1 agonists make people immune to those high fat, big carb diets, perhaps we would see a decline of these strategies and instead seeing companies compete for the low appetite of people through smaller quantity yet high quality foods, rather than fast large quantity food.
This is crazy. Tools like photoshoot have gen ai tools in them. Does that mean that Photoshop is now a minefield for artists? If a single artist uses the wrong tool once they disqualify the entire final product for awards, even if the asset is fully removed on the final build.
> If rent wasn't an issue I'd be working full-time on open-source and spend my spare time cycling.
I feel like this is a really detached piece on the realities of work and capitalism. Did a decade of prosperity in software industry made people forget what work is?
In capitalism (I mean in a job) you are paid to build what others want you to build. You are selling your time and effort. Either that or you build your own thing and monetize it. If "rent wasn't an issue" most people would paint, dance make art, explore, play, create. But for most people, rent, food and healthcare are the issue...
This is extremely interesting to me. I've been using docker swarm, but there is this growing feeling of staleness. Dokku feels a bit too light, K8 absolutely too heavy. This proposition strikes my sweet spot - especially the part where I keep my existing docker compose declarations
> investors are quite interested in profitable companies that also grow fast.
I'm gonna dispute this. We're currently profitable, and to do so our growth is just "good" (80-100% yoy). We're also raising a smaller amount because we want to return to profitable as soon as possible, and repeat the cycle. Being profitable hasn't been a big selling point in our discussions.
Either our growth is not high enough, or our round is not big enough, as they are so used to seeing ridiculously inflated projections from the last decade.
Furthermore being profitable also removes a lot of leverage from investors. That might make them shy away from a discussion because they know they can't twist out arm as easily.
I agree tho, I wouldn't want to build our company any other way than being profitable. Just saying that being profitable is not something investors seem to like as much as we thought.
Yes, absolutely my fault. But these problems happen. Credit cards expire, people change companies or go on leaves, off boarding processes are not always perfect, spam filters exist.
Add to that the declining experience of email with so much marketing and trash landing in the inbox (and sometimes Gmail categorizing important emails as "Updates")
That's why grace periods for these situations are important.
Who uses SMS? This might be a cultural difference, but in Europe they are still used a lot. And would you be ok if your utility company cut your electricity bill just with an email warning? Or being asked to appear to court by email?
I really liked Hetzner but I got burned by one issue. I had some personal projects running there and the payment method failed. Automated email communications also failed among so much spam and email notifications I receive, and when I noticed the problem they had wiped all my data without possibility of recovery.
It was a wake up moment for me about keeping billing in shape, but also made me understand that a cloud provider is as good as their support and communications when things go south. Like an automated SMS would be great before you destroy my entire work. But because they are so cheap, they probably can't do that for every 100$/month account.
I've had similar issues with AWS, but they will have much friendlier grace periods.
I really like electric approach and it has been on my radar for a long time, because it just leaves the writing complexity to you and the API.
Most of the solutions with 2 way sync I see work great in simple rest and hobby "Todo app" projects. Start adding permissions and evolving business logic, migrations, growing product and such, and I can't see how they can hold up for very long.
Electric gives you the sync for reads with their "views", but all writes still happen normally through your existing api / rest / rpc. That also makes it a really nice tool to adopt in existing projects.
The thing knitting taught me is that you can have something beautiful and useful even tho literally every part of the piece is a single point of failure.
No redundancy, no backstop. If any of the stitches gets cut, the entire piece can unravel completely.
We're so used to redundancy, but sometimes you just need to get things done, and it's ok if it's all a deck of cards.
Just one other thing. In Analog you also have compensating developers, which will exhaust faster in darker areas (or lighter if you think in negative), and allow for lighter areas more time to develop and show, and hence some more control of the range. Same but to less degree with stand development which uses very low dilutions of the developer, and no agitation. So dodging and burning is not the only way to achieve higher dynamic range in analog photos.
About HDR on phones, I think they are the blight of photography. No more shadows and highlights. I find they are good at capturing family moments, but not as a creative tool.
Personal anecdote: I do freediving, so CO2 tolerance training is common, and I've done it on and off. Basically you do breath holds to train your body to get used to high leves of CO2.
I've found that brief high C02 levels are very good for activation, and to get out of a lethargic state. I don't know if a mix of cortisol and vasoconstriction and dive reflex triggered by the CO2, but I feel like it's a tool I have on my toolbox whenever I need to so something difficult or that requires a lot of will power.
It's not for everyone tho, because many people can't get past the initial urge to breathe, and would probably freak out with the first involuntary contraction.
Fully hypothetical: It would be ironic if they ended up finding a relationship between autism and the overall stress, mysery, and dopamine hamster wheels that are causing the assortment of other mental health isssues.
Because I have a feeling they want to find an "environmental cause" only if it's not the one that is the driving engine of the economy.
A very large library of premade charts for web. Probably the largest I've seen. Less customizable than chart.js, and D3 is more of a rendering library than a charting library.
