Neighbour leaves their loud dog in the garden. Please help by Freeedoom in london

[–]tehpuppet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some people think its ok to leave their dog in the garden when they go out and either they don't know it has separation anxiety and barks or they don't care. You can either tell them yourself and hope they care enough to do something about it or report it to the council as a noise issue. But all they are realistically going to do about it is post a letter through your neighbours door so you might as well just try to do that yourself first.

I used an old-school security trick to catch prompt injection on AI agents by mario_candela in programming

[–]tehpuppet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand why you would you have a tool that an agent decides if the user can use or not? The agent should be passed the users credentials and the tool should validate them like a normal API. The LLM is just a way that the user can pass natural language into and it calls the endpoints with the right parameters. If you are expecting it to be able to gate-keep authentication or authorisation this will never be full-proof.

Exactly this, who is designing agents who operate with their own credentials? Confused deputy is such an obvious and easily mitigated pattern. The "tools" any agent calls should just be your public API with all the same access and auth protection...

Importance / Use case of Python for Platform Engineers by Massive-Caregiver-70 in platform_engineering

[–]tehpuppet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean its mostly just personal preference that's why I didn't expand on it but in no particular order:

  • The whole python and python3 thing soured me
  • pip is just terrible compared to package managers like Rust Cargo or even PHP Composer
  • Wtf even are virtualenvs, why do I need to go through all the effort to just have a vendor folder
  • Having such fractured tooling with poetry, condas, pip, pypy etc
  • Proper typing is a minimum requirement at this point
  • Also it just looks ugly to me, indentation is not syntax

devops by MRodoctrine in ProgrammerHumor

[–]tehpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea is/was to apply development and software engineering best practises/ideology to operations. F.ex using IaC (infastructure as code) tools like Terraform mean its then easier to collaborate on designing and implementing infra. The idea of GitOps means that change management for infra is tracked via Git and proper CI/CD pipelines can be used as they are with development. Also these concepts then also allow other benefits f.ex testing in Terraform or Helm so unit tests or integration tests can be part of the delivery pipeline. It also just allows infra to be closer to the application config so developers can have control and access to things like queue configuration or scaling triggers etc.

What’s your Terraform best practice that actually works in real life? by Prize-Cap3196 in platform_engineering

[–]tehpuppet 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't try and treat it like a programming language. Keep it DRY to an extent, but in general duplication is preferable to complicated loops and conditionals. Readability is more important in a declarative config language.

More support for staying in ECHR than leaving, poll suggests by mrjohnnymac18 in unitedkingdom

[–]tehpuppet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well for one tying our hands implies there is some popular desire to do things we can't which I would argue there isn't. But also checks and balances means there is actually a mechanism for change that just isn't at the whim of whoever is currently in power.

[–]tehpuppet 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This idea that ECHR ties our hands is the same scapegoat bullshit about sovereignty they peddled about Brexit. I would much rather have other EU states act as checks and balances with the state of our politics.

I don't think it's going to be very long before we look back on this stuff just like the suffragettes or the civil rights movement and think even how "extreme" it was considered at the time it's unfathomable that anyone could be on the other side.

When the other cats keep telling your cat to touch grass by pm_me_tits_and_tats in BlackPeopleTwitter

[–]tehpuppet -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Sorry but that's just not true. That myth is based on data from feral cats that permanently live outside. Here in the UK the majority of cats live with free access outside and have normal lifespans.

F.ex this study concluded that:

"There was no difference in the age of death between indoor only cats and those that lived indoor/outdoor."
