So you just live a reactionary life? Nothing matters until it affects you personally? Should we get rid of free speech if jason-phillips doesn't have anything to say?
jason-phillips · 2 months ago
No, I just don't live around any of you people. I have copious amounts of freedom, including free speech.

You get the society/government/neighbors that you deserve.

Walking through TSA scanners, I always get that unnerving feeling I will get pulled aside. 50% of the time they flag my cargo pants because of the zipper pockets - There is nothing in them but the scanner doesn't like them.

Now we get the privilege of walking by AI security cameras placed in random locations, hoping they don't flag us.

There's a ton of money to be made with this kind of global frisking, so lots of pressure to roll out more and more systems.

How does this not spiral out of control?

I got pulled aside because I absentmindedly showed them my concealed carry permit, not my driver's license. I told them I was a consultant working for their local government and was going back to Austin. No harm no foul.

One thing I don’t understand is why so many appreciate the Everglades. To me a landscape infested with aggressive animals (gators) doesn’t sound attractive or safe. Between them and the invasive snakes I feel like you would need to be on guard all the time. Maybe drain it, replace it with different animals that are friendly, and then refill it. I’m only sort of joking.

I used to swim with alligators in the bayou when I was a kid in the 1980s. They're not so bad.

Not once in the article does Mark say social media is over.

> Parameterized queries.

Also happy to be wrong, but in Postges clients, parametrized queries are usually implemented via prepared statements, which do not work with DDL on the protocol level. This means that if you want to create a role or table which name is a user input, you have a bad time. At least I wasn’t able to find a way to escape DDL parameters with rust-postgres, for example.

And because this seems to be a protocol limitation, I guess the clients that do implement it, do it in some custom way on the client side.

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. But if you must, abstract for good time.

People have been struggling with securing against SQL injection attacks for decades, and SQL has explicit rules for quoting values. I don't have a lot of faith in finding a solution that safely includes user input into a prompt, but I would love to be proven wrong.

Parameterized queries.

A decades old struggle is now lifted from you. Go in peace, my son.

What do you mean? Who is the intermediary in this context? Google? The threat that people will use LLMs to get their fake information without needing to use google to find sites with fake reviews?
jason-phillips · 8 months ago
Yes, to much of what you said.
