He boosted a post that is 1:1 an announcement of the project.
How much more of a "clear confirmation" do you want? An announcement from their non-existent personal press secretaries that just says the exact same text as that post he boosted?
I think people here need to take a step back and realize that the people and board involved here are more like linux kernel maintainers that are not generally public figures and not C-level executives of a Fortune 500 company.
Yes, since it's cybersecurity a bit more caution than usual is probably warranted, but it's not like the CVE DB has gone offline and everyone is currently scrambling to find the new legitimate replacement. Let's let this situation breathe for a few hours/days instead of being overly cautious and spending all energy on skepticism.
I've pointed out that I think a more clear (in this case an explicit message) would be better. You extrapolated to the other end, assuming that I wanted a press release, which I do feel is a false dichotomy. There are more than one existing option here, and a middle ground would certainly be perfect in this context.
I would still call it one of the epicenters. Yes, many venues that were previously only multlipliers like some prolific streamers / Youtubers / TikTok channels have grown and cultivated their own distinct subcommunities which form new epicenters.
However, from what I can see /pol/ still serves as significant breeding ground where people deeply committed to their views can get together in a "mask-off" manner without fear of moderation, while they have to be more "mask-on" on platforms that are more dissemination-focused like Youtube.
With the current AI/LLM wave SSE have received a lot of attention again, and most LLM chat frontends use them. At least from my perception as a result of this, support for SSEs in major HTTP server frameworks has improved a lot in the last few years.
It is a bit of a shame though, that in order to do most useful things with SSEs you have to resort to doing non-spec-compliant things (e.g. send initial payload with POST).
Arguably it’s also because of serverless architecture where SSE can be used more easily than WS or streaming. If you want any of that on Lambda and API Gateway, for example, and didn’t anticipate it right off the bat, you’re in for quite a bit of pain.
In many fields of study, the money that goes into academic research is essentially more of high-level-talent education expense, so that local companies have pools of PhDs to hire from, rather than needing to produce a invention that will be commercialized.
E.g. if you look at PhD graduates only one in a few hundred (even in STEM fields) will end up on a path that commercializes their research, with most of the other ones moving into industry and likely not working on a directly related subject to their thesis. That's not necessarily a bad thing.
Yeah, I'm sure a thousand lovely Horizon 2040 funded research projects that result in throwaway academic solutions to hyper-specific industry issues where the first MVP is shown after 5 years will come out of this.
Not even throwaway. They will result in reports and keynote presentations, but nothing truly functional. The EU doesn't understand how to structure incentives to make things work and avoid rent-seekers and grifters. Source, I've been part of some large EU consortia. Never again.
Yeah, I was always surprised by how many organizations will actually jump at the opportunity to "participate" when some EU consortia was announcing a new program or funding round.
There's a saying for that in German involving "feeding trough" and "pigs".
Reminds me of a quote from "Yes minister" in which it says one commissioner pays a farmer a lot of money to produce and another to remove the surplus, plus a lot of paper pushing in the middle.
Damn. I transfered ownership over the cudnn and cudnn-sys crates (they are by now almost 10 year old crates that I'm certain nobody ever managed to use them for anything useful) to the maintainers a few years back as it looked to be on a good trajectory, but it seems like they never managed to actually release the crates. Hope that the reboot pulls through!
> In the example used, I don't think strength (speed) is the same trait causing weakness (overlooking).
Yeah, I think so too. I think the core points are that the article makes are very reasonable ones, that deserve a better example (and there are certainly attributes of people that act as a double edged sword).
Here is a LinkedIn post by one of the CVE board members (literally the first one on the list here[0]): https://www.linkedin.com/posts/peterallor_cve-foundation-act...
I'm sure if you look at some of the contact information of other CVE board members and their broadcasting platforms you will also find something.
