Yuzuru Hanyu’s famous practice philosophy is: "If you cannot do it, practice until you can. If you can do it, then practice till you can do it perfectly. If you can do it perfectly, then practice until you can do it perfectly every time".

New roles emerging: Fleet supervisors managing 50 bot feeds. Product prototypers shipping 3x faster. Platform designers making fuzzy AI feel deterministic. Agent experts detecting hallucinations. Deep specialization plus adjacent skills wins. itrev.io/406eJOf

OWASP Top 10: What's new? Presenter: Miglen Evlogiev

1/6🚀 We are entering the age of Gen4 agents. What the hell does that mean? What were Generation 1 to Generation 3 anyway? Why should I even care?! Buckle up as we trace the rapid evolution from hype-driven chatbots to self-modifying powerhouses. This shift is reshaping businesses daily - let's break it down. 🧵

"Data is the new oil but raw oil isn't useful until it's refined."

Highly recommended 🆓 PDF book: "Algorithms" by Jeff Erickson with many nice figures and exercises! 👉 jeffe.cs.illinois.edu/teaching/algor… Nice subtle cover page design too!

"As well as listening to you, a qualified human therapist will ask you questions and tell you what they hear and see, rather than simply holding a mirror up to your own self-image." theguardian.com/technology/202…

"An AI therapist will never tell you that your hour is up, and it will only respond to your prompts. According to accredited therapists, this not only validates existing preoccupations, but encourages self‑absorption." (1/2)

What’s the best Java feature of all time? 🤔 You decide! We’re getting ready to kick off the 2025 edition of our Best of Java Feature Face-Off to celebrate #30YearsOfJava. Who will be this year’s champion? Will JDK Mission Control defend its title? Check back Monday for the opening round of voting, and share your predictions below. 👇

During supervised finetuning (SFT), models are trained to mimic responses written by labelers. If these responses use the knowledge that the labelers have but the model doesn’t have, we’re effectively teaching the model to hallucinate. (2/2)

"AI Engineering", O'Reilly The second hypothesis is that hallucination is caused by the mismatch between the model’s internal knowledge and the labeler’s internal knowledge. (1/2)

The language model’s answer ends up sounding like that of a 5y old: “My favorite color is green”. Because “the” has a low probability, the model has a low chance of generating a creative sentence such as “My favorite color is the color of a still lake on a spring morning”. (3/3)

One problem with sampling the next token according to the probability distribution is that the model can be less creative. In the previous example, common colors like “red”, “green”, “purple”, and so on have the highest probabilities. (2/3)

"AI Engineering", O'Reilly: Given the context of “My favorite color is …” as shown in Figure 2-14, if “red” has a 30% chance of being the next token and “green” has a 50% chance, “red” will be picked 30% of the time, and “green” 50% of the time. (1/3)

I got this strange email too. Also wondering what's going on and is my information safe.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

So, what just happened with the CVE program? - MITRE drops a letter saying funding ends tomorrow - Everyone panics, assumes no more CVE numbers - The community scrambles to organize - The CVE Foundation appears, positioned as a vendor-neutral non-profit - We all learn MITRE has 9,000 employees, $1.5B in funding, 16% in cybersecurity - MITRE clearly used this situation as a public pressure move - And it worked: CISA stepped in, extending the contract for another 11 months Meanwhile, ENISA is building its own EU vuln DB. Things are shifting. What did we learn from all this? - Trying to slim things down creates friction, and outrage is often used as a defense mechanism - But when there’s actual need, the private space will step in and fund it – that’s how markets work - And maybe, just maybe, this whole mess will lead to a more sustainable and efficient future for CVE Wouldn’t that be something.
