As the enmuskification of Twitter continues, I’ve increasingly heard that more people are using LinkedIn to keep up with new professional material. So, a couple of weeks ago, I set up my LinkedIn account , so people can follow me on that platform. I’ve always avoided LinkedIn - I’ve found the whole vibe of connections rather off-putting. I get too much spam from people wanting to connect as it is.

Leading a technical workforce requires a rapidly changing skillset. Gone are the days when your title allowed you to boss everyone around, rule with an iron fist, and expect a successful outcome. The mood of leadership now is all about collaboration, mutual elevation, and leading without authority. Even if you have a job title where you could reasonably expect everyone who reports to you to do as you say, command-and-control leadership no longer has a reasonable shelf life.

Railway construction couldn’t be more laborious than in Switzerland, as the country consists almost exclusively of mountains, most of which are now spanned with bridges and riddled with holes, like the famous local cheese. The rail network is also the densest in Europe to the point where it can no longer be expanded because all the necessary areas are already fully utilized.

Codebases evolve rapidly, and your test automation should keep pace. However, many teams struggle with brittle scripts and growing test debt, which hinder delivery and increase risk. This guide illustrates how engineering leaders leverage AI to enhance the resilience and scalability of testing. You will discover how AI can automatically generate and maintain test cases, adapt to changing applications, and identify high-risk areas before problems reach production.

API Security doesn’t start with penetration testing. This isn’t to say testing isn’t important – it is! And at multiple phases. It isn’t always feasible to cover every single security scenario, but the most important ones should be considered. This is why it’s important for the business to understand what can go wrong, when, and how to get ahead of these issues as early as possible.

Large language models (LLMs) are generally trained on large publicly available datasets that are domain agnostic. For example, Meta’s Llama models are trained on datasets such as CommonCrawl , C4 , Wikipedia, and ArXiv. These datasets encompass a broad range of topics and domains. Although the resulting models yield amazingly good results for general tasks, such as text generation and entity recognition, there is evidence that models trained with domain-specific datasets can further improve LLM

Nevertheless, it is substantially more than the handful of years Bankman-Fried’s attorneys were seeking.
