CNCF – Cloud Native Computing Foundation
- If you’re working in a cloud environment, you should know the projects here

Llama 3 – the next version of Meta’s AI engine
- “Now available with both 8B and 70B pretrained and instruction-tuned versions to support a wide range of applications”

Environmental concerns over the processing required for AI
- Power requirements for processing some of the LLM’s

Setting up IDE’s and environments
- IDE vs old school debugging
- Setup can require a significant amount of time
- Is it worth it?
- What if you’re just working on a bug?
Security Resources
- What’s the difference between CWE and OWASP?
- CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) is a community-developed list of common software and hardware weaknesses.
- It’s similar to OWASP, but older (1999 vs 2001) and more general – including non web apps and (more recently) hardware
- The infamous “NVD” database links CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) to CWE
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2021-44228

Tips
Pre-warning – probably wouldn’t recommend installing this!
Saw a cool Windows utility called “Windrecorder” that records video and text from your desktop, and lets you rewind and search.
- Uses ffmpeg to record screen into small 15-minute fragment files
- Search(by window titles, text keywords, or descriptions of images)
- Everything happens should only on your computer
- Cons: No instant rewind (have to be out of the window), Storage is unencrypted, Not much LLM / ML fancy stuff…and security
