Oh wait, this mail that starts with Anthropic marketing bullshit is not "an endorsement of Anthropic". And you're not permitted to criticize him.

People who have been around the tech world longer than I have: I've been reading for a while how some people seem to feel like the industry peaked somewhere in the 2000s and that it all went downhill from there.

There was one hype after the next and people just kept on jumping on the bandwagon because everyone was doing it. I've read this sentiment about containers, Kubernetes, the Cloud in general but there are probably more.

Do you feel that LLMs are more of the same of this or does this feel qualitatively different? If so, how? I'm trying to find some perspective in all this as I haven't been around the block for long enough to have it myself.

Boosts appreciated.

♻️ Brussels' datacenter efficiency scorecard may come with a credit warning

｢ The European Central Bank's (ECB) 2021 climate action plan made the integration of climate risks into its collateral framework a stated priority, meaning that across EU member states, firms with stronger environmental ratings are statistically more likely to secure lines of credit and less likely to face heavy collateral requirements. ｣

Yep, that week pretty well did it.

This week helped me make the decision to put dedicated energy into finding a new job so I'll be getting my resume polished and sent around.

I'm looking to #GetFediHired, ideally working with a company that is interested in leaving the world in better shape than it was handed to us. Remote-only as I'm not looking to uproot my family.

In terms of working with #AI, anyone who follows me knows that I'm against it, it's too harmful in its current iteration, but I am definitely interested in groups like #DAIR who study and understand AI and are interested in creating an alternate future with technology so if that's you then I'd love the opportunity to work with you.

In terms of my background, nowadays I'm a people manager in Engineering but I have my own tech projects that keep my skills sharp. Primary skills are CI/CD development, OpenTofu/Terraform, Ansible, Python, Shell Scripting, C++, Perl, Go. I can do Windows scripting though haven't had cause to do so in a few years.

I've been at this for 26 years so there aren't many things in the Ops/IT/DevOps space that I haven't at least played with a few times and I'm a quick study. Not meant to be a brag, that's just the reality I think of anyone who has been at this long enough. The landscape shifts and when we look back we all realize that we've worked with a lot of different tools over the years. Hell, my first job was working in Fortran 90 and COBOL and thankfully that knowledge is buried somewhere in my brain and will hopefully never see the light of day again.

Ideally I'm looking to stick with a management gig as I enjoy people leadership, but if the company is a good fit, I'll gladly jump in and write code, it's just not what I'm looking for. For the right company though I'd probably make an exception, especially if you're working on bettering things for people.

So yeah, shoot me a message if you have something, otherwise I'll start sending the resume out to places I find on LinkedIn and the like.

There are lots of deliberately vulnerable applications with the word 'Goat' in their title. #OWASP's WebGoat kicked that off. And now there's NodeGoat, AI Goat, and a few others. The thing is, I keep seeing people trying to show me that their security code scanner is good because it finds errors in these deliberately vulnerable apps. But how much published data about these deliberately vulnerable apps is in the training data?

Seems likely that an LLM will key on the word 'Goat' to indicate "this is probably very vulnerable"?

The #AI can rely on its training data in a case like this. And that's not representative of how it would perform on novel code that doesn't appear in its training data anywhere.

Prata Potpourri: Algorithms and the Christian, Speaking truth in love, Female Piety, more

By Elizabeth Prata

The dog days of summer are upon us here in the south. High humidity, high temperatures even through the night, the air thick with wetness and bugs.

According to Farmer’s Almanac, the dog days officially begin July 3 to August 11, but the publisher is a Mainer so…I hereby testify that the dog days are upon us in June! Dog days actually doesn’t originate from anything about a dog. Sirius is the brightest star in the night sky and is named Sirius. It’s the eye in the constellation Canis Major, Greater Dog so Sirius is known as the Dog Star. The ancients used to believe when Sirius was in a certain summer position that it caused heat and drought.

Since it’s summer and summer to me means BEACH, here are some beach pics from north to south along the eastern seaboard.

I’ve rounded up sme articles for you. I hope you enjoy them, or at least one!

I’ve been writing about digital life, AI, and algorithms lately. A friend sent me this essay about digital life and the Christian. it’s at a prophecy news type site but it’s a good article absent any woo-woo or fringe stuff.

The author proposes the following question: Unlike a pastor who prayerfully prepares a message or a teacher who intentionally builds a lesson, algorithms are designed around a different objective. Their purpose is not spiritual maturity. Their purpose is attention. They are designed to learn what captures us, what keeps us watching, and what prevents us from moving on to something else. That reality raises an important question for Christians: If something is constantly shaping our thoughts, then who (or what) is teaching our minds?

Read the thought provoking article here: Christianity In The Age Of Algorithms

Sometimes as Christians we must confront a brother or a sister if they are sinning, or raise a difficult subject with a non-Christian. We are reminded always to ‘speak the truth in love’, a phrase from the verse at Ephesians 4:15. Here is ACBC counselor Susan Heck on the topic, and drills down to specifics, like ‘What is Speaking the Truth in Love?’, explains how to do it, why we must, and why we often don’t.

https://biblicalcounseling.com/resource-library/articles/how-to-speak-the-truth-in-love/

And on that note, sometimes we must admit that when we engage in difficult conversations with folks, we drift toward the judgmental but hide behind an excuse of discernment. And we know that discernment often comes with it those difficult conversations. Treading that balance of speaking truth but in love without judgment is hard to do. Here is Eric Bancroft at TableTalk Magazine with a discussion about the difference. He said, “Judgmentalism is concerned about truth regardless of people. Discernment is concerned about truth because of people.”

https://tabletalkmagazine.com/article/2024/04/discernment-without-judgmentalism/

I plopped this Reformation Heritage Books link in my draft here a month ago and the book is already out of stock! 15 copies are available at Amazon. It’s a republishing of the 1853 book. The blurb says, “John Angell James, through biblical exposition and character sketches of women from the Bible, shows the benefits of growing in piety as a goal for women from youth through motherhood. Young women are offered biblical and practical advice in order to fulfill the high calling of being a Proverbs 31 woman.”

Here is the outline-

1. The Influence of Christianity on the Condition of Woman
2. The Conspicuous Place which Woman Occupies in Holy Scripture
3. Woman’s Mission
4. Early Piety
5. Religious Zeal
6. The Parental Home
7. Life Away from Home
8. Character of Rebekah
9. The Ornaments of a Profession of Religion
10. The Characters of Mary and Martha of Bethany
11. To Young Mothers
12. The Beautiful Picture of a Good Wife in the Book of Proverbs

The reviews on Amazon are good.

Here, Pastor Gabe Hughes, the voice of WWUTT.com (When We Understand the Text) posted a 1 minute reel explaining the Karmelo Anthony verdict from a biblical perspective. His wise words should be heard. His reel is here (on Facebook).

On Youtube, another good video lesson from Gabe Hughes, this time, on why the Holy Spirit will never ‘call’ a women into the pastorate. 26 minutes.

It’s summer, and many families go camping. In the US we say camper, in the UK it’s caravan, but either way, many families have fond memories of camping in one during the warmer months. Here is an article from Apartment Therapy on a family’s re-do of a 1970s camper. Cool before and after photos.

Here is an article from UK’s magazine Country Life about the egalitarian-ness (is that a word?) of coffee houses. Anyone with a penny could enter, and discuss issues of the day, philosophy, ideas, or converse with anyone else at communal tables, regardless of class. Benjamin Franklin transported this idea into the US as well, forming the Junto Club where men could exchange ideas and discuss concepts. Here was also born Franklin’s notion of educating the men by creating a lending library, the first in the new world. The Philadelphia Library Company is still going.

Why did you allow US companies to continue to diffuse this kind of videos where the indication AI is hidden somewhere in small characters in a comment text ?

These kinds of videos are used as manipulation tools ( even if we could agree with what is said ) ?

We saw what happened in Belfast.

All these manipulations must be stop now , especially that there will be important elections for the future of EU.

"Billionaire Elon Musk’s Grok AI violated Canada’s privacy laws and, at one point, generated more than 6,000 sexual deepfake images per hour, Canada’s privacy commissioner found.

“The investigation has found that X Corp and xAI violated Canada’s federal private sector privacy law by launching the Grok AI-powered image generation tool without implementing appropriate safeguards at the outset,” privacy commissioner Philippe Dufresne said in a press conference in Ottawa Thursday.

“This lack of protection allowed users to create and share sexualized deepfakes largely targeting women and children,” he added.

Dufresne launched an investigation in January to examine the proliferation of sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and shared on the X social media platform.

“According to researchers, Grok was at one point generating well over 6,000 [sexualized] images per hour,” he said, adding that “millions” of sexual deepfakes were created."
