Building Docker images on GitLab CI: Docker-in-Docker and Podman

If you’re using GitLab CI to build your software, you might also want to use it to build Docker images of your application. This can be a little tricky, because by default GitLab CI runs jobs inside Docker containers. The standard technique for getting around this problem is using Docker-in-Docker, but you can also use a simpler technique by using Podman, the reimplemented version of Docker. Let’s see why and how. Option #1: Docker-in-Docker When you run the docker command-line […]

Scanning your Conda environment for security vulnerabilities

You don’t want to deploy an application that has security vulnerabilities. That means your own code, but also third-party dependencies: it doesn’t matter how secure your code is if it’s exposing a TLS socket with a version of OpenSSL that has a remote code execution vulnerability. For pip-based Python applications, you’d usually run vulnerability scanners on Python dependencies like Django, and on system packages like OpenSSL. With Conda, however, the situation is a little different: Conda combines both types of […]

Welcome back! Hope you had a great week. We have a new leader on the SuperGLUE benchmark with a new Ernie model from Baidu comprising of 10 billion parameters trained on on a 4TB corpus. FYI, human baseline was already beat by Microsoft’s DeBERTa model at the beginning of the year… time for a new SuperSuperGLUE benchmark??? Paper BTW, if you are still interested in GitHub’s CoPilot, I stumbled upon the Codex paper this week: Paper DeepMind’s Perceiver transformer allows […]

Sometimes… cool things happen. A new chatbot from Facebook AI was released this Friday with remarkable features. This chatbot, BlenderBot 2.0, is an improvement on their previous bot from last year. The bot has better long-term memory and can search the internet for information during conversation! This is a convenient improvement versus traditional bots since information is not statically “memorized” but instead has the option to be dynamic and “staying up to date” via the internet. 🤯 I’ve recently tested […]
