I've been in crypto for over 10 years and I’ve Never been hacked. Perfect OpSec record. Yesterday, my wallet was drained by a malicious @cursor_ai extension for the first time. If it can happen to me, it can happen to you. Here’s a full breakdown. 🧵👇

MySQL也正好三十周年。

1/7 看了 OpenAI 刚发布的 11 号全球宕机 5 小时的“鞭尸”报告，非常典型的一次变更导致的宕机，正好碰到我熟悉的老本行了，简单解读一下 【背景】OpenAI 的后端服务运行在全球数百个 K8S 集群中，K8S 数据面（处理用户请求的）依靠 DNS 解析来做服务发现，这个 DNS 解析服务部署在 K8S 的控制面

Collations are a wonderful feature. They solve problems way beyond case-insensitive search: ignoring accents and "numeric" sorting ('10' > '2') are just two more examples. However, they do have a performance impact as shown by this micro-benchmark: https://t.co/UOcEoQA38H

The effort to protect innovation and open source continues. I believe we’re all better off if anyone can carry out basic AI research and share their innovations. Right now, I’m deeply concerned about California's proposed law SB-1047. It’s a long, complex bill with many parts

How to be as "smart" as Auto-Regressive LLMs: - memorize lots of problem statements together with recipes on how to solve them. - to solve a new problem, retrieve the recipe whose problem statement superficially matches the new problem. - apply the recipe blindly and declare

apparently Google laid off their entire Python Foundations team, WTF! ( @SkyLi0n who is one of the pybind11 maintainers just informed me, asking what ways they can re-fund pybind11) The team seems to have done substantial work that seems critical for Google internally as well.

Much has been said about many companies’ desire for more compute (as well as data) to train larger foundation models. I think it’s under-appreciated that we have nowhere near enough compute available for inference on foundation models as well. Years ago, when I was leading teams

昨天直播的时候说起在门诊开药的事儿来。我随口说了一个「老舅定律」： 定律一. 门诊给你开的药物处方里如果含有三个或三个以上药物，极大概率会至少有一个药物是没有用的、为了赚你钱。一般来说，这个药还是最贵的。 定律二.

Last month the "DB Research Meeting" was held @mitcsail, hosted by Sam Madden and Natassa Ailamaki (🙏). An encounter of the who's who in data systems research. I warned for the declining impact of DB research & pitched better incentives for system work:

People believe that if they could somehow walk into a research lab, they could then 'steal the knowledge'. It does not work like that. Innovation is illegible. You can go, right now, on many campuses all over the world, just walk in and talk to the professors, the students,

New edition of SQL standard is out. It is just 1715 pages, should not be hard to follow 😄 https://t.co/eMuYwVEpX3 #sql

ChatGPT has now a big problem. Google just updated its free competitor, Bard. Here are 8 things impossible on ChatGPT but that Bard can do (for free):

Google Bard 刚刚进行了大规模升级。 ChatGPT 现在有些地方落后了。 以下是使用 Bard 可以做而 ChatGPT 做不到的 10 件事：

Self-pinning for immortality. Congrats Ding!!

Rhinoceros 🦏 are named White rhinos or Black rhinos, but they are in grey or dark grey, instead of white or black. An interesting story behind the names told by a researcher to me.
