And who is to say that trigger hasn’t long been pulled? How do we know the agents haven’t found a way yet to modify their own code base similar to how Stuxnet manipulated the Iranian centrifuges and their control systems, stealthily recordi

Last time I checked, Mise is still a one-man show. That’s way too risky for a critical party of my supply chain for my taste.

This is exciting! And even if the result isn’t suitable as the only building material, there’s surely composite applications or buildings without a need to hold atmospheric pressure.

Researchers developed a model on behalf of the CIA and published it. The CIA is using this model. Calculating an MD5 hash according to the original paper describing the algorithm is going to yield the same hash for you and me for the same i

Ah. Doing it right, then, means earning billions by giving the whole world access before we really understand how it works, and training models on cyber attacks using reinforcement learnings in flawed test settings? I’m so full of all this

That is the explanation I fear the most. Delusional, megalomaniacal, rich men in the highest echelons of society at the forefront of technology with no regulatory opposition to speak of, convinced their actions are the most important in hi

The model, methodology, and even the data set used are published research, even if the CIA didn’t publish their internal forecasts based on it. You can still just come to the same conclusion they can, there are no state secrets involved her

How is it surprising organisations involved in humanitarian aid in crisis regions are also sponsoring research on fragility of governments?

I suggest reading the article you are commenting on, and you might find a ton of links to research in it. Reading is a great idea in general; I can recommend it.

Why would you even use python without uv anymore, and have a system python binary and virtual envs linked to it?

Even if you cannot derive purpose from inherent love toward yourself, you can still at least take pleasure in existing, being incredibly privileged to enjoy the greatest show there ever is. Nothing beats the beauty of nature, and being here

I moved out of the windows world a long time ago. Are virus scanners still a thing? Like, not just a revenue stream, but something you really should run?

I don’t think a ranking is particularly helpful anyway: All of them are absolutely unfit to wield that much power. I’m not even sure if AI should be progressed by private corporations in the first place; combining shareholder interest and r

…and that probably requires involvement of the broader academic world (for now), IMHO. I don’t think governments or even the US military can really compete staff wise with the combined force of researchers and the tech industry worldwide ri

I always think of a Djinni granting wishes, but being maliciously compliant while doing so - ask him for infinite riches, and he’ll grant that, but make it so you cannot buy anything with it; ask him for eternal life, and he’ll curse you to

That "boredom" has raked in billions so far, and I don’t see that shifting in the market yet you describe to be honest.

Are you saying Assassin's Creed 87 or Far Cry 32 aren't cheap clones of its own previous incarnations? The gaming industry is, to a huge extent, just an optimisation problem for MBAs running the major publishers. Most gamers

A configurable setting might be a good idea, but I definitely see the appeal of being able to make use of a split display for various use cases - the PowerPoint presenter mode example is a good one, Nintendo DS style split games might be an

Funny, everything you pruned away is the reason I’m deploying LiteLLM in our platform. Having a reliable way to track token spend per customer across different services is important to us, and LiteLLM handles this well

Right — I would have hoped a while ago already that we transcend past the notion of an endpoint device. A tablet, a laptop, or a phone should all just be entry points to access my one OS instance. You could think this a bit further still, a

It instills into you the arcane knowledge of how incredibly mundane and unremarkable sex with very beautiful people can be, given that they are also just normal people after all. I suppose. Then again, what do I know - maybe you'll awa

That is a lost cause, because the AI companies are above the law now. Copyright doesn't apply to them, felonies committed by them (via their agents) are not prosecuted, and if the AI bubble were to burst, they would be bailed out becau

But that’s the thing, when I say "mostly" that sure doesn’t imply it can solve all those things - it can help to a great extent.

I don’t think I claimed agent reviews to be a panacea. It’s a tool that can help you lower the review pressure in companies working with agentic coding tools.

That's a thoroughly uncharitable view. Especially in smaller orgs with a minimum velocity dictated by the company's need to survive, the amount of code required to be written just to keep up with your competitors is massive. Tryin
