(I promised a bit more color commentary on Larry Page’s 3500-word missive posted last week, and after reading it over a few more times, it seems worth the time to keep that promise. I wrote this last weekend, but am on vacation, so just posting it now…). It’s not often you get a document such as this to analyze – the last time I can recall is Google’s feisty 2004 letter to shareholders written on the eve of its IPO.

vsftpd-3.0.0 is released. Aside from the usual few fixes, I'm excited about built-in support for Will Drewry's seccomp filter, which landed in Ubuntu. To give it a whirl, you'll need a 64-bit Ubuntu 12.04 (beta at time of writing), and a 64-bit build of vsftpd. Why all the excitement? vsftpd has always piled on all of the Linux sandboxing / privilege facilities available, including chroot, capabilities, file descriptor passing, pid / network / etc. namespaces, rlimits, and even a ptrace-based de

Waaaay back in January, I rolled out my annual predictions. Thanks to our pals at Facebook, a few of them are now pretty much in the bag. I may have to start doing these things monthly, given the pace of our industry. Prediction #5 was that it’d be a big year for Internet M&A. I further singled out Instagram as a company that would likely be bought, and figured there’d be a battle between Twitter, Apple, Facebook, and Google for the prize.

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.
