acl777on The AI industry turns against its favorite philosophy

acl777on We have reached an agreement in principle for Sam to return to OpenAI as CEO

https://x.com/swyx/status/1727215534037774752?s=20

  Finally the OpenAI saga ends and everybody can go back to building!
  
  3 things that turned things around imo:
  
  1. 95% of employees signing the letter
  2. Ilya and Mira turning Team Sam
  3. Microsoft pulling credits
  
  Things AREN’T back to where they were. OpenAI has been through hell and back. This team is going to ship like we’ve never seen before.

acl777on Van Gogh’s Self-Portraits

I love the Van Gogh museum - it's the only museum where one can see an artist's work all in one place, so you see their progression.

acl777on iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus

I'm with you - I love my 12 mini (and will probably hold on to it as long as I can)

This video makes a great point about small phones at scale that changed my mind about demanding small phones from large companies

acl777on Horrible Code, Clean Performance

I remember this was a holy war amongst programmers (even myself!) - readability OR performance.

With tools like ChatGPT - we can have both readability AND performance, right??

Or am I missing something?

If so, Lytro made a camera based on that tech.

acl777on Port knocking

interesting - would this be an effective way to block portscanners?

acl777on Port knocking

any tips or where one would get best practice for configuring/setting up/using knockd?

I wrote up how having a server on the internet is scary now (http://redgreenrepeat.com/2020/03/20/why-you-should-secure-y...) and how to protect it (http://redgreenrepeat.com/2020/04/10/how-to-secure-your-serv...)

One thing I didn't get into more was port knocking/knockd as there were not many resources for it.

I'd love to learn more about how you have used knockd.

acl777on Destroying C with 20 lines of Haskell: wc

Good point. I was thinking the same thing too.

I will wait for what the next article presents, as the end of this article states:

> Stay tuned for a second part, where we will investigate shaping all this into an actual wc substitute, where different statistics can be turned on or off, all while not computing what the user hasn’t requested.
