Same. I had no idea if the article was for me and what I was going to get out of it, so I just gave up.

This article is great advice that I should take if I ever get a role where I’m not going to be pressured into delivering some kind of low-value BS during Phase 2 that causes me to hasten the delivery the most useful organisational changes I

Because if this was an anonymous software company who had an employee who decided to hack HuggingFace, they wouldn’t be talking about it gleefully - they’d be in court.

It doesn’t matter to me how good the LLM is at writing Go if the compiler can’t stop it from accidentally leaving another part of the software with invalid state as a result of a change the LLM is making. What am I talking about? Nil and pa

You can read each individual commit and review the PR as a whole. This is the way many people design and review PRs. You don’t need to merge those changes progressively. If you do, you go through exactly the same process of creating a separ

Looking at the way GitHub are selling this “feature”, I feel like some of the engineers who are going to be excited about this feature for “reviewability” reasons are, in particular, those who’ve forgotten that they should be splitting chan

Passkeys are a political play aimed at bolstering government support. They’re the privacy sabotaging arm of Digital ID. They go hand in hand with “age” verification. It’s all the same play. Get your identity, get your access credentials, gi

I love that due to the scale, the only way to analyse the impact of this LLM-driven attack across logs is to use an LLM to analyse the logs - whatever could go wrong? Now the attacking LLM needs to inject instructions into the logs for the

This is a key part of it - all the decision making, just like choosing the food, but making it yours.

This would actually add to the effect because the “hit” depends on the anticipation.

There’s a thing with dopamine where it’s not actually about receiving the reward, it’s about doing the things that lead to the reward. As weird as it sounds, going through the ordering process is all you need.

A venture that gathers objects of subversion likely to draw the ire of authoritarian powers into a single building doesn’t strike me as something likely to peacefully exist for long.

Lacking a bit of sleep, I initially read this as “anonymous flying umbrella follows and shields users from rain” which certainly intrigued me more than the actual title.

In a dystopian, but emerging future, the answer is “Of course and attach it to their digital ID.” It’s happening, isn’t it? And we’re just lazily walking toward it. Passkeys. They’re part of the move toward digital ids aren’t they? I bet we

I remember my first ever job application and interview being with a local flight sim mod company. I was knee deep in 3d modelling and texture art at the time, so I thought I had a great chance. It turned out that they needed someone to pain
