Black Hat talk from the team, with a detailed timeline of and takeaways from the OpenAI-Hugging Face Incident: https://t.co/GtXWiAZ2RQ

This is so sad. I started playing chess a few years ago and learned so much from Daniel’s videos.

[Charlotte Chess Center @CLTchesscenter]

The Naroditsky family shares the sad news of Daniel’s unexpected passing. Daniel was a talented chess player, educator, and beloved member of the chess community. We ask for privacy as the family grieves.

@todoist I keep having sync errors for the past few days. Is this a known issue? Worried about losing work as my desktop and mobile Todoist are diverging ...

[Maarten Claes @mclsio]

Ok, Claude

Going through the same thing right now. Unbelievable that Google Workspace doesn't have faster resolution times for this. @AskWorkspace

[Alex Xu @alexxubyte]

Our Google Workspace has been unsuspended. I appreciate the quick resolution. But this situation is very concerning.

Our entire work relies on it.

There was no warning or prior email. Just an immediate suspension of our entire workspace.

As a result, every employee on our team lost access to email, Google Drive, and years of work.

An enterprise service being cut without notice is not acceptable.

I was fortunate to have a large audience and friends who helped escalate the issue.

If not, I don't know how long it would take to get it unsuspended.

Posting this to raise awareness and hope things can improve.

Dealing with some false positives in LLM safety controls

@dhh Learned this one the hard way...

Or not so randomly when an entire country's grid goes down

Sometimes I just randomly think about the Carrington event

[Christoph Nakazawa @cnakazawa]

I don't understand why squash merging is not the default on GitHub. The other options make no sense, and just slow things down.

Similarly, it's confusing that people *still* use `git merge`. It makes everything so complicated. Always rebase, never merge.

BREAKING: Europe’s GDPR privacy law is headed for red tape bonfire within ‘weeks’

Europe's most famous technology law, the GDPR, is next on the hit list as the European Union pushes ahead with its regulatory killing spree to slash laws it reckons are weighing down its businesses.

The European Commission plans to present a proposal to cut back the General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR for short, in the next couple of weeks. Slashing regulation is a key focus for Commission President @vonderleyen, as part of an attempt to make businesses in Europe more competitive with rivals in the United States, China and elsewhere.

Have you all not seen Ex Machina?

This is what it appears to think OpenAI’s “filters and censorship” are about. Is it true?
