We just merged the current status of the upcoming JDWP support for @GraalVM Native Image! 🥳
This will soon provide developers with the same debugging experience they are used to in Java, but for native images! Stay tuned for more details.

.@GraalVM-based Native Kafka Broker looks amazing!🚀🔥
Charts and observations from cwiki.apache.org/confluence/…:
— avg startup time is ~130ms;
— No CPU spike is observed for GraalVM; the JVM broker had sudden spikes when the broker started and also when the load testing started.
— for JVM broker the max memory usage went up to ~1GB. For GraalVM is was ~500MB with G1GC and ~250MB with serial GC.

“Threads” being such a generic term on Twitter, how likely is it that Meta picked the name to avoid shadowbans like Mast*don or Bl*esky here ?

I don't understand how anyone can believe LLM+plugins won't be a security disaster.
Take a simple app: "GPT4, send emails to people I'm meeting today to say I'm sick"
Sounds useful!
For this, GPT4 needs the ability to read your calendar and send emails.
What could go wrong..?

Have you downloaded a large training set (LAION, CC, Wikipedia, etc) in the past to train a machine learning model?
If so, you were vulnerable to an extremely simple and cheap poisoning attack that could have manipulated ~0.02%-0.8% of your dataset

I wrote a few words about Chris: gist.github.com/eregon/67b63…
I'm heartbroken to share this news about our dear friend and colleague, @ChrisGSeaton.
ALT Screenshot of a message from Shopify's Ruby and Rails Infrastructure team that includes: Our dear friend and colleague Chris Seaton passed away last Saturday, December 3rd. Chris was an important part of our team at Shopify, and a notable figure in the Ruby community, and we are deeply saddened by our collective loss. Chris accomplished much in his life. He completed a Ph.D., rose to be Squadron Leader in the British Army Reserve, and started a young family. Chris began the TruffleRuby project in 2013 as an intern at Oracle Labs and stewarded it into a full-fledged Ruby implementation. Chris advanced the state of the art in dynamic language optimization, co-authoring 16 publications, contributing to countless others, and establishing both the Ruby Bibliography archive of Ruby research publications and the Ruby Compiler Survey. For his efforts, he was a Ruby Prize finalist in 2016. Chris’s papers, essays, and code contributions are currently archived at chrisseaton.com.
