D-Squared Musings – Week 48
Tech
🤖 OpenAI developer presentations
- After the main keynote was released on OpenAI Devday a series of follow-up videos were shared going into more detail for each of the major announcements. I highly recommend listening to each, here are a few that caught my eye 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. O… And as I was drafting this newsletter, I saw that Sam Altman was fired from OpenAI as CEO, interesting times.
🪲 OWASP Top 10 for Large Language Model Applications
- I found this top ten list pretty insightful. Note that there’s a good amount of grammar, spelling, and dead links, but it’s a first draft, so kind of expected. Also, I’m not convinced that “over-reliance” and “excessive agency” are valid candidates for this list. Might write more on why I believe that’s the case in future posts.
🧑💻 Large Language Models and The End of Programming – Dr. Matt Welsh
- Matt’s vision and confidence in what the future of programming looks like are compelling. A world where humans are abstracted so far away from the code, that only the machines can read it sounds far off, but so did talking to a computer like a human.
Education
🥩 Should everyone get a lot of protein?
- I learned about Peter’s rule of 1 gram per pound of body weight many months ago after reading his book Outlive. He makes a very compelling argument that as we age it’s critical to sustain as much muscle mass as possible.
💪 You Can’t Fix Your Posture (Here’s Why)
- The TLDR here is that continuous movement and avoiding specific postures for too long is the key. Not trying to stand up “straight” in an abnormal and likely unhealthy position.
Miscellaneous
🌚 Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire
- This looks interesting and has a good cast.
