Update: @hypersequent (the team behind QA Sphere) is safe and operating normally. No impact to people or infrastructure. Business continuity plans are in place and QA Sphere services continue as usual. Appreciate the UAE authorities’ calm, coordinated response.

@Kri_zai I used to like this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_J… - is there a new one?

Finished playing Indiana Jones. Very average game 😞. Can only recommend it to the fans of the movie.

🚀 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲! We’ve just rolled out 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲, bringing smarter workflows, stronger integrations, and usability upgrades to make QA faster and clearer. Here’s what’s new: 🧵

AI is changing QA fast — but it’s not replacing the human touch. Our founder @AndrianBdn shares why in this new piece on HackerNoon.

I’ll be at the QA Sphere stand (A525) at Web Summit Qatar on Monday, Feb 24—stop by to see how QA Sphere has evolved or just chat about all things QA.

As we have come to the end of 2024, we wanted to reflect on our journey this year. First some history: We started our mission in 2023 to make the world's software more reliable. In a broad sense this includes quality, security and performance. We decided to start with a Test Management System to focus on quality. And that's how QA Sphere was born.

@steipete Fits in my backpack. Much smaller than 50” display that I see wearing it.

@AndrianBdn Is it not a bit big to travel?

I could buy the Vision Pro now in the UK… but I feel the hype already died off and devices are collecting dust… is anyone using this thing daily? arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/0…

🚀 Exciting news! QA Sphere is officially launching on Product Hunt today! 🎉 QA Sphere is fast, efficient & clutter-free Test Management System, developed by my new company over the last year. 👉 Check us out on Product Hunt producthunt.com/posts/qa-sphere

If you're in QA, I'd love for you to try QA Sphere out. Head to qasphere.com for a free trial and DM me your thoughts. Your input is invaluable.

I've seen firsthand how crucial quality is in tech. That's why I started 🔮 QA Sphere. It's a test management system, a command center, where planning, executing, and tracking software tests take place. Follow our journey @QASphereHQ

So I don't have a solution for this yet. I am just wondering how other people cope with this? Not adding websites to the New Tab page (I have starting to use it only recently), using some extension, maybe some other Chromium based browser does this right?

MS Edge decided not to use Gmail favicon at all (which contains 256x256 logo BTW). Most of the web sites icons on the home page are also blurry.

Google Chrome shows low-res (on Retina Macs) icons on its new tab page. 'Diamond Product Expert' on Google Chrome Community help tells that web sites just does not have high-res icons (wrong) and only Chromebooks can do this (laughable claim) - support.google.com/chrome/thread/…

I am hiring for my new company

@Kri_zai GPT is based on the Transformer architecture which is described in Google’s paper “Attention is all you need” from 2017. Paper is filled with scientific details. You can Google for explainers or chat with ChatGPT about this paper.

Can somebody recommend something to read about how GPT works? Without too much scientific details, but not like “it’s all magic”

@GregoryMaks Well, like you have mentioned — Twitter API was shut down, so it is unlikely that such tool could be implemented now.

@AndrianBdn I was hoping for some automated tool that would collect info from Mastodon nodes and match with twitter names 🙂. But that sounds like an option too.

Will be moving to Mastodon as Twitter API has died for 3rd party apps and using official is... meh. Come follow my empty account 🫠 there @gregorymaks" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.social/@gregorymaks BTW does anyone know a tool to search Tweeter users on Mastodon?

As a part of a little "recreational programming" I have created TUI for managing simple WireGuard servers github.com/AndrianBdn/wg-… (written in Go for Linux)
