What a strange feeling; the nest is going to be empty soon. It will take a while b..

I sponsor development of technologies that answer to their users’ own interests, rather than the interests of megacorps (who harvest users’ data and attention, extract rents, impose lock-in, and so on). I particularly support indie developers who are heading upstream of their own economic incentives. I also support some creative work like music and blogs. I should do more of this, as should everyone who benefits from these works. If you c..

Least privilege is a defense-in-depth strategy that everyone talks about. While I first heard it a few years back this seemed to be a magical solution to a good number of security issues I faced.

It’s been three years since the inception of Marginalia Search, then a dinky experiment to find where the heck the cool Internet has gone, now my full time job. While there’s always things that can be improved, it’s fair to say the search engine has never worked as well as it does right now. A great number of milestones have been reached, perhaps biggest of all the search engine has moved out of my living room and into a proper enterpri..

Welcome back, stranger. Remember, its about their needs, not yours. From Q4 2022 through Q1 2024 the tech industry has seen a shit-ton of layoffs. These are due to a combination of factors: The end of the ZIRP: Zero Interest Rate PolicyZIRP era, higher interest rates means investors demand profitability (instead of growth) from portfolio companies. In 2017, Section 174 of the US tax code changed, taking effect in 2022 1 . Companie....

In the ongoing circus of the “cost of living crisis”, the latest target of public scorn is the grocery business. Although it’s true that Australians are under economic strain, the “cost of living" catch-cry has been a useful political football for targeting anything from housing to beer to petrol.

There’s a common belief that suffering is necessary for pleasure, or that evil is necessary for good, like the change of the seasons. It’s one of those ideas that sounds like wisdom, but when you think about it, it’s not actually true. There are some people who are happy all the time, and other people who are miserable all the time. I think suffering and evil are like taking a wrong turn on a journey. Taking a wrong turn sometimes happens, ..

I've created a new Breadboard kit for TransformerJS, which allows you to run HuggingFace models locally on devices. This is useful for LLM-related tasks where cloud access isn't ideal. The kit is available on GitHub ( https://github.com/PaulKinlan/transformerjs-breadboard-kit ) and can be installed via npm with npm i @paulkinlan/transformerjs-breadboard-kit. Included is an example of creating a Breadboard agent for text summarization.

Hi, Aktuell schreibe ich an einem neuen Artikel für Golem.de. Und in diesem Zusammenhang habe ich über die Gemeinsamkeiten in der Softwareentwicklung in kleinen und mittleren Unternehmen (KMU) nachgedacht. Das Statistische Bundesamt definiert KMU als Unternehmen von 10 bis 250 Mitarbeitern und einem Umsatz unter 50 Millionen Euro. Jetzt ist die Spanne auf den ersten Blick sehr groß. Intuitiv erwartet man, dass die Herausforderun..

A while ago while working on Rust-based Emacs, I was loading a new elisp file and hit a stack overflow. Digging deeper I found the issue in trying to print a cyclic list (where the tail of the list points back to previous element). I knew this was a possibility, and that at some point I would have to handle cycles. So I quickly implemented a version of Floyd’s cycle detection algorithm (visualized here).
