Can I pet it? Does it bite?

If it’s a publicly-accessible repo, then immediately revoke the key and leave it. Force-pushing isn’t good enough because the old commit will still be tracked by Git until the garbage collector kicks in, and you don’t have control over the GC on GitHub (not sure about other providers).

If it’s an internal repo that’s only accessible by employees, then you probably should still revoke it, but you’ve got more leeway. Usually I’d create a ticket to revoke it when there’s time, unless this is particularly sensitive.

Harris will be able to serve two terms. The 22nd amendment says:

No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once

The second clause applies to vice presidents taking over, but since there’s less than two years left in Biden’s term, it won’t come into effect.

Probably because the individual engineers working on Takeout care about doing a good job, even though the higher-ups would prefer something half-assed. I work for a major tech company and I’ve been in that same situation before, e.g. when I was working on GDPR compliance. I read the GDPR and tried hard to comply with the spirit of the law, but it was abundantly clear everyone above me hadn’t read it and only cared about doing the bare minimum.

There’s no financial incentive for them to make is easy to leave Google. Takeout only exists to comply with regulations (e.g. digital markets act), and as usual, they’re doing the bare minimum to not get sued.

That’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m saying the rich and powerful have a vested interest in not taking risks that jeopardize their power and wealth, because they have more to lose.

The reason these models are being heavily censored is because big companies are hyper-sensitive to the reputational harm that comes from uncensored (or less-censored) models. This isn’t unique to AI; this same dynamic has played out countless times before. One example is content moderation on social media sites: big players like Facebook tend to be more heavy-handed about moderating than small players like Lemmy. The fact small players don’t need to worry so much about reputational harm is a significant competitive advantage, since it means they have more freedom to take risks, so this situation is probably temporary.

Unfortunately, retrofitting CSP on an existing site can be nightmare, especially if you have external dependencies. At my job, we spent months trying to enable CSP on one our oldest sites, but ultimately gave up because one of our dependencies won’t work unless we added “unsafe-inline” everywhere, which kinda defeats the whole point of CSP.

I remember reading an article (can’t find it right now) from a PHD dropout who was doing research in string theory. One of reasons he dropped out is his frustration at how abstract and disconnected from reality his work was. His advisor (and his colleagues) didn’t have that problem, because to him, the math behind string theory was an ends in itself. There’s beauty in math, regardless of whether it has any practical application. If string theory turns out to be an accurate model of reality, then that would be a nice bonus, but that’s not why his advisor studied it.

So to answer your question, if we somehow reach the point where everything that can be feasibly discovered has been discovered, then theoretical scientists would make up their own models and study those.

I looked it up. It’s from sonata 8 (“Pathétique”)

Damn straight. Beethoven’s late sonatas are fucking amazing.

What’s he playing in the fourth panel? Waldstein sonata?

Yeah, at this point, the boss in the comic would be massive improvement over most tech CEOs. Corporate doublespeak is more infuriating than just being a fuckup
