Is Metas tracking more obscene than the traditional tracking suites at large corps like Crowdstrike? In 2017 I recall on launching a tor browser and in 15 mins physical security came to me that something fishy was going on.

I'm sure there's more to your story, but...

It's quite amusing imagining somebody working in a cybersecurity firm wondering why he's being questioned by security for opening up Tor at work. heh.

Surely your post effectively reads as an ad?

What are the design best practices and industry standards for building on-premise fallback capabilities for critical infrastructure? Say for health care/banking ..etc

A relative of mine lived and worked in the US for Oppenheimer Funds in the 1990's and they had their own datacenters all over the US, multiple redundancy for weather or war. But every millionaire feels entitled to be a billionaire now, so all of that cost was rolled into a single point of cloud failure.

Reminds me of a great Onion tagline:

"Plowshare hastily beaten back into sword."

Why is anything related to Elon is so divisive. He is certainly a manifestation of the Trump phenomenon. Please someone build a Adblock filter that blocks anything related to musk and trump. I’d pay for it

This comment nails it: "Rich vindictive kids descend on Washington.."

Can someone explain to me how Musk is able to repeatedly turn gambles into gold?

I never said it was far fetched.

this is likely some sort of a supply chain attack. The videos I saw show serious explosions for radio pagers. Can lithium battery do this? Or the most likely explanation is that they were rigged with some explosives?

LinkedIn job search. I filter by contracts, part time, remote …etc and apply even if it’s not a perfect fit. In addition, specific tech job boards. I got a couple contract/freelance gigs this way that since 2018. The same clients keep giving me jobs in and off. I noticed it’s a bit harder now than it used to be but that’s probably across the tech market.

could you elaborate on that? i have never used linkedin job search. also which tech job boards? any recommendations?

Go to linkedin and search for jobs you like. There is an advanced search options where you can filter by remote, contract, part time or full time. What I meant by specific tech board is applying directly on a websites/boards/forums associated with a certain tech. For example elixir jobs .com if you are want something in that space.

Does it work for Arabic and hebrew? I am trying to teach myself how to fine tune a model and thought doing this with my own arabic notes could be a fun project. Not sure where to start though.

update: I tired it and it works to some degree and a lot better than chatgpt.

Congratulations on the launch! is there any write up on how it's different than other popular db management tools?

It's aimed as an SQL tool for Data Analysts not DBAs. e.g. It has 10+ charts builtin that can be generated directly from queries. It allows creating pivots using a UI. It does not allow DBA tasks like altering columns. It features a unique integration with DuckDB that let's you save any result from any database to a local duckdb instance.
