This is the best thing I have seen today. I read about this notification in the morning and had to re-read it to verify that I understood it correctly.
Any feedback on how it comes along for regular Software Development (backend stuff) activity and as a common home PC? Looking at the benchmarks looks like there shouldn't be any issue but any first hand experience would be greatly appreciated.
IMHO, developing with Node.js, Java, Python, Go, etc.. within MacOS is more convenient compared to Windows machines.
Also I can highly recommend using version managers (e.g. nvm, jenv, pyenv, gvm, etc..) for these languages to quickly install and manage different versions.
I'm pretty happy with my M1 mac book pro with 16 Gb. I'd expect this to be faster. I typically have intellij, vs code, slack, a bunch of docker containers, etc. running. All fine. Get more memory maybe.
From technical standpoint, I find the details interesting. However, this irresponsible disclosure of vulnerability troubles me. I am guessing that last year, Indian government has passed the bill of PDPA (https://www.meity.gov.in/writereaddata/files/Digital%20Perso...) if I am not mistaken. Even though irresponsible disclosure of vulnerability is not explicitly mentioned in this Act, but I am pretty sure that such irresponsible disclosure are enough for the author to land into trouble.
Leaving PDPA aside, as a Software professional I find this act kiddy and unethical. 10 years back I found a major vulnerability bug in an major multinational bank where I was able to see monthly statements of any person. I reported this to the bank and they took approx 1 year to fix that. I did not even mention about this bug to my friends or my CV till it was fixed.
Understandable in this case. But if the playground is of a developed nation (like US, Canada, Singapore, etc.) then unlikely that kids would be playing.
In India, personal data is not yet taken seriously with both educated and un-educated people. It would take some time but I believe this realisation will come over time in people.
For Java applications, we built a structured logging library which would do a few things -
- Add OTel based instrumentation to generate traces
- Do salted hash of PII (injected in plain text by API Gateway in each request) like userid, etc to propagate internally to other downstream services via Baggage
- Inject all this context like trace-id and hashed PIIs into log
- Have Log4j and Logback Layout implementations to structure logs in JSON format
Logs are compressed and ingested to AWS S3 so it is also not expensive to store so much logs to S3.
AWS provides a tool called S3Select to search structured logs/info in S3. We built a Golang Cobra based cli tool, which is aware of the structure we have defined and allows us to search for logs in all possible ways, even with PII info even without saving.
In just 2 months, with 2 people we were able to build this stack and integrate to 100+ microservices and get rid of Cloudwatch. This not just saved us a lots of money on Cloudwatch side but also improved our capability to search to logs with a lot of context when issues happens.
hey, we're in pretty similar place logging wise, and I would really like to know more about your solution. If at all possible, I'd like to understand your rationale and implementation architecture more.
Sam would have been more apologetic or at least contrite in his tweet if it was hurting anyone. Same: Eric Schmidt was immediately positive, so presumably he knows. ES would never defend a guy who hid a leak.
Unless if, by “security” you mean OpenAI was used for military purposes, in which case: 100% Schmidt knew and supported and Sam might be proud of it.
But Ilya and Mira would have known about it too… Guess they did, told the board and things blew up fast.
When I read the heading then I was of the view that it is about how high the prices of Telehealth is but it was other way. Is it just me or anyone else also feels that the prices are pretty high? Does the article talks about Specialist or General Practitioners?

It can be kind of high in other contexts too in my experience. I've been using a place called adhdonline for my medication and the zoom meetings (every 3 months after the first month) are $169, no insurance accepted, and my insurance won't reimburse it either. It was a lifesaver being able to find this place since doing the whole procedure of getting medication in-person seemed too daunting, thanks to the adhd. I could find an in person place now that my insurance wouldn't discriminate against but this service is too convenient.
