The next move belongs to the plaintiff, as they determine how to proceed on the claims dism..

I started a paper reading club this week at work, focused on databases and distributed systems research. I posted in a general channel about the premise and asked if anyone was interested. I clarified the intended topic and that discussions would be asynchronous over email, run fortnightly. Weekly seemed way too often. A month seemed way too infrequent. Fortnightly seemed decent. I was nervous to do this because I've been here about 2 m....

Introduction Following the release of MDN’s AI chatbot “feature”, many developers turned to GitHub Issues to voice concerns . Most concerns revolved around the chatbot spouting misinformation on a technical reference expected to contain accurate information, and ethical concerns related to OpenAI and the use of a large language model (LLM). I don’t find the mere existence of LLM dishonesty to be worth blogging about; it’s already well-e....

I have always been a big fan of SQLite and recently was using it with Go/Golang. However due to fact that goroutines are very convenient I quickly ran into the “database is locked” issue where multiple writes would try to update the database at any one time. Multiple reads worked without issue. I could have solved this by throwing a mutex lock around the database writes, but thats something I could easily mess up by missing the mutex and ..

Last week, a backdoor was discovered in xz-utils . The backdoor processes commands sent using RSA public keys as a covert channel. In order to prevent anyone else from using the backdoor, the threat actor implemented a cryptographic signature check on the payload. I have seen a number of people claim that this would necessarily result in an obviously invalid RSA public key, or at least one with no corresponding private key. This is i..
