We all knew #S3 can have ugly billing surprises if you misconfigure it. But did you know you can also have a very ugly billing surprise if _someone else_ has their crap misconfigured?

How an empty S3 bucket can make your AWS bill explode
Imagine you create an empty, private AWS S3 bucket in a region of your preference. What will your AWS bill be the next morning?

Hey Safari/macOS users…
When I have a PDF embedded in a page via iframe (eg: https://adrianroselli.com/2024/03/csunatc-wcagmire.html) and the mouse cursor moves into the bottom center of the container, I get four clickable controls (zoom out, zoom in, ink bottle…

A dentist found an ancient human jawbone embedded in his parents’ tile floor
The discovery of a human mandible embedded in a travertine floor tile went viral on Reddit, and now the family is working with scientists to study the specimen.

"How an empty S3 bucket can make your AWS bill explode"
I'm not an expert on this, I just understand enough of the gist to know it's not good! and could catch other people out if they didn't know. Unclear to me from discussion I've seen so far whether there's a way to guard against it for sure.

One way #Mastodon eats a lot of resources is with heavyweight API calls. Every status that comes down has an entire Account object embedded in it. If it's a boost, there's two full Account objects embedded. This includes stuff that's only displayed when you click through to an actual account page, like bios and extra fields.

Meta-Task Prompting Elicits Embedding from Large Language Models
In this work, we introduce a new unsupervised embedding method, Meta-Task Prompting with Explicit One-Word Limitation (MetaEOL), for generating high-quality sentence embeddings from Large Language Models (LLMs) without the need for model fine-tuning or task-specific engineering. Leveraging meta-task prompting, MetaEOL guides LLMs to produce embeddings through a series of carefully designed prompts that address multiple representational aspects. Our comprehensive experiments demonstrate that emb…
