I read Bostrom's book SUPERINTELLIGENCE back when I worked at Google —
Blaise A— insisted that it go on the "AI" SF book club reading list
(as an aside: I started the book club; we were mostly reading, uh, cautionary stories)
SUPERINTELLIGENCE is garbage, & I said so: throw around big numbers until your moral calculus has a floating-point overflow & you can be convinced of obviously crazy things
(phrasing wasn't so clean at the time)

🚨 Listeriosis outbreak update - Ireland
Salad leaves and spinach added to list.
Nothing like cooking and enjoying a lovely HelloFresh meal and then reading the latest listeria notice that it now includes the McCormack Family Farms Irish Spinach Leaves you just used in the sauce.

IMVHO the most misunderstood part of the GoF Design Patterns book is that the good part is actually Chapter 2 ”A Case Study: Designing a Document Editor” which carries great design advice (it told us to favor composition in 1994!) & the patterns that follow are mostly a reflection of the state of C at that time.

Microsoft has a new blog post on securing your organization against the Golden SAML attack. I wasn't familiar with this attack and learned that it only applies to organizations who use a delegated IdP like Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).
