Yes, there's something to do in this space. More funding is necessary, some form of platform might help... but it definitely won't be enough.

Another great way to understand how QR codes work.

Understandability is indeed a very important goal. There are easy ways to improve it in a system.

The tooling to protect against the copyright theft of image generator models training is making progress. This will clearly turn into an arm race.

Nice call from Mozilla to make this public. This way it is very obvious where the blockers are on some platforms.

Very interesting approach to JSON parsing. Comes with a very thorough performance analysis.

On the difficulties of dealing with third party APIs. How to handle failures and reach eventual consistency? A few good solutions and patterns are proposed here.

Interesting approach to handling meetings. Start thinking about what happens if you're not there.

Good continuation of "where have all the websites gone?". They're still here but we changed, all the more reason for curating.

Interesting report. Apparently so far a more widespread use of remote work doesn't seem to boost of hinder productivity growth at large scale.

Interesting vulnerability, not all vendors are impacted though. GPU memory leaks can have unforeseen impacts.

Very interesting ruling, this opens the door to more parties being able to sue to enforce the GPL not just the authors.

As an industry we definitely should think more often about the consequences of our actions. The incentives are indeed pushing us to go faster without much critical thinking.

The tone pointing at "open models" is wrong but the research is interesting. It still proves models can be poisoned (open or not) so traceability and secured supply-chains will become very important when using large language models.

A good reminder that even though GPU tend to be faster, the added complexity and price might not be worth it in the end.

Looks like an interesting protocol for resilient peer to peer data stores. Let's see how it spreads.

Pick your words wisely. If it does happen every time use "will".

Looks like an interesting tool to simulate difficult network conditions.

Some more insights on the extent of the companies snitching to Facebook.

Or why nationalism and war mongering are unwelcome dead ends. I never understood this fascination for Sparta by some people... if you look at what it was without some misplaced romanticism, it definitely looked like an horrible and paranoid environment to live in.
