Do you REALLY want to get a feel for how GPT-4o does what it does? Just complete this poem — by doing so, you’ll have performed a computation similar to the one it does when you feed it a text-plus-image prompt.

I’m working on my slides for my presentation at BSides Tampa, which happens tomorrow! My presentation, “xz made EZ,” is a layperson-friendly explanation of the narrowly-averted hack that might have put millions of servers worldwide in the control of a nasty nation state, and you’d better believe I’m going with BSides Tampa’s “Stranger Things” theme!

Happy Monday, everyone! Do you know if you’re about to be laid off?

In part 16 (16!!!) of the “Laid Off in 2024” series, we dive into signs that you’re about to be laid off, split into 3 categories:

1. Signs you’re about to be laid off in the next hour
2. Signs you’re about to be laid off in the next 24 hours
3. Signs layoffs are coming in days or weeks

I was one of the 400 people laid off from Okta last Thursday, and one of the ways I’m keeping busy is writing a series of articles on surviving layoffs (this is my 5th!) and what I’m doing. Follow me on my new adventure!

My PyGamer handheld game device arrived yesterday! It’s no Steam Deck, but for me, it’s better because it’s good hardware and programming practice, and costs a tenth as much! Looking forward to coding on it! 💻

Just a reminder that today — December 9, 2023 — is the 55th anniversary of “The Mother of All Demos,” the 1968 demonstration of technology that we all use today, but must have seemed like pure science fiction back then.

I was at GDG DevFest Tampa Bay, and it was packed not just with panels and presentations, but also some hands-on labs, including one where you built a USB “Rubber Ducky” — a hacker tool featured in “Mr. Robot” — with a Raspberry Pi Pico!

Marc Andreessen’s “Techno-Optimist Manifesto” borrows the format and ideas from the Futurist Manifesto. “Futurist” sounds cool until you find out that they merged with Italy’s Fascist Party and their leader, one Benito Mussolini.

I had no idea there was an Algorithmic Justice League. I think I’ll join — I may be a mere dabbler in AI, but at the very least, I’ve had my superhero name since 1999!

In case you missed it last night: here’s a classic “Simpsons” scene, but applied to programming languages. I need to create a timeline of the different programming languages I’ve used for work (and fun) over the years...

Someone posted this to Reddit, asking if this programming exercise for a job interview for a junior dev position was doable in 4 hours. I’ll write more about this later, but here’s the short answer for now: 🚨HELL NO🚨.

It happens on the last day of the month — we’ll code an iOS “Magic 8-Ball” app together. Think of it as your first step towards all kinds of Apple coding: not just the iPhone, but also iPad, Mac, Watch, Apple TV, and yes...Vision Pro!
