Another fun tidbit:

```
if my_type.is_func():
for _ in my_type.iter_func():
pass
```

...sometimes(!) results in a 'Type is not a function' TypeError

@algernon I started to dig into Rocket's documentation, and it looked well thought out, but stopped before I really got into it. May worth a look: https://rocket.rs/

For those being notified or first learning about the :

On December 25, I broke the story of how I had been contacted in November by "Lovely," who claimed to have discovered a vulnerability. They asked for help getting Condé Nast to respond to them. They claimed they were not seeking any bounty or payment and had only downloaded a few profiles as proof.

They showed me my own data.

Trying to help, I reached out to Condé Nast corporate as well as to a contact at .

Condé Nast never responded to me -- or to "Lovely" who eventually showed their true colors as someone trying to extort Condé Nast.

Do they have more data? Yes, it appears they do.

@troyhunt verified the data leak and has been notifying its affected subscribers.

A smart guy who did something well, and did it freely and without charge, 34 years ago. Pragmatic and sensible.
Happy birthday Linus!

TIL about Lockheed's System-User-Engineered minicomputer which seems like a pretty cool modular hardware system for purpose-built computers:

I still don't know what tinfo_t.is_sue() does though.

"Search advertising continues to be the largest form of internet advertising. Search revenue grew nearly 16% year on year."

$103B in search ad revenue (in U.S alone!) means results are ranked by who pays most, not what's most relevant.

This is the model Kagi Search rejects.

I'd offer ~$5k for anyone who writes a new Android Nextcloud client that literally just does and behaves how the iOS one does, not joking

There's a new Fediverse music streaming service showing music videos by small independent artists with their permission. You can view the channel at:

➡️ https://tv.theindiebeat.fm

It's like the old-style MTV but for the Fediverse 🙂

You can follow the channel at:

➡️ @TIBtv

The service runs on @owncast and you can find out more about OwnCast at:

I recently saw a lot of examples of using LLMs when you could get away e.g. with and API call, but now I think I found the perfect example of LLMs being more niche then even skeptics (like myself) think they are:

Even skeptics have to admit that LLMs are very good at natural language translation. @kagihq introduced a fast ("Standard") #LLM for its translation service that seems to fail miserably if you try to translate single words for less common languages:

https://kagifeedback.org/d/9373-standard-translation-is-unusable-for-hungarian

My point is that doing a dictionary lookup for all words (~1mil for English) could be done on a disposable vape in no time with better results, incl. clear indication of lookup failures, so you can fall back to your GPUs when needed.
