Wow, Terraform is crazy cool. Automatically deploying, version control and auto-scaling of my GPU-enabled containerized discord stable diffusion bot on GCP in 600 lines of configs.

Neat trick I just learned: conditionally execute based on whether a substring matches command output or not: command | ((grep "pattern" && echo match) || echo no match) Works with both bash and sh.

Every time I think I know how to do parallelism correctly I find new and novel ways to create race conditions and very strange bugs.

Finally managed to un-lazy myself long enough to enroll important accounts with security keys. Did you know you can add a static password that your yubikey will type out for you every time you longpress it?? Seems like a dope place to put a SSH key password (quasi SSH 2FA).

I'm awful at forming habits, so I'm super proud of hitting a year on Duolingo. I've learned so much. ^_^

Another example of horribly insecure password rules. Postgres limits you to a measly 100 characters. 😞

Holy shit Kotlin is awesome. Actually makes developing for the JVM fun!

Can we start calling landlords something more correct, or at least something that sounds like it's from this millennium? Like: * Dirtpeddler * Air hostage taker * Purveyor of human parking

Fellow cybersecurity nerds, if y'all are on Threads let's connect so we can shitpost in peace once more threads.net/@nerdincarnate

I'm calling the Myth of Context Length: Don't get too excited by claims of 1M or even 1B context tokens. You know what, LSTMs already achieve infinite context length 25 yrs ago! What truly matters is how well the model actually uses the context. It's easy to make seemingly wild

I had one password manager for all passwords. Got hacked, everything I own just gone. They got full access to all my accounts from bills to social to work. Sure, I had 2FA on all accounts, doesn’t matter if they have access to your Code Generator. Write your master

“She’s dumb as fuck, she might be the horny one tho” “Should send her to jerry” “The babies would be a sight to see” “She’s at least physically attractive” “I wouldn’t kick her out of bed if she kept her mouth shut” From BowTiedCybers discord server Should I continue?

I can't wait for the industry to stop overhyping prompt injections, hallucinations and jailbreaks for LLMs. Breaking news: generative models generate.

ChatGPT will be good for literacy because it's secretly training an entire generation to read article-sized responses to simple questions.
