> So a proxy should block any POST to 20.223.25.152 unless that IP somehow overlaps with ABS. But in that case, there's no reason for the agent to mess with `/etc/hosts` not `--resolve`. The agent could just use `curl` wit

> In the first case, given what we know, the proxy blocks the POST. How do we know that?

My interpretation of the above is that the proxy received a request for the IP of the server the agent wants to reach but with a host header pointing to a different, allowed server. The proxy does not verify that they match and so erroneous

If your plan is to not review and just have the LLM rewrite if it doesn’t work, it doesn’t sound like the rewrite is gonna be any better.

It doesn’t have to be an intentional threat to be worth responding to. One might reasonably think they’d stumbled on an (admittedly poorly executed) attack.

Is it a taboo, or is it just reserving specific words to mean specific things and insist everybody be precise about it?

This is explicitly mentioned in the article: > Though some have questioned why anyone intending to blow up a plane would broadcast the word bomb, many terrorist acts have relied on the threat of a bomb as leverage during attempted hijack

This really depends on context. Sure, if you're responding to a forum post or StackOverflow question with nothing but the LLM output, then I agree with this. On the other hand, where I've done this at work, it's because I a

I don't think these things are as different as you think. I started at "ls" and worked down. If you work up, you get things like a "socket", an "object" within a programming language, a "linked list

I’m curious what you think an abstraction is. Even running “ls” involves several layers of abstraction: a shell, a process (abstracts memory), a thread (abstracts CPU)… you think it would be simpler if you had to deal with all that to list

Thanks for the context. That makes a lot of sense! Those three constraints seem pretty important and a useful way to think about the problem.

Having used Rust professionally for six years now, I share your fear. Like many of the commenters below, coherence just hasn't been a big problem for me. Maybe there are problem spaces where it's particularly painful? How does t

I've never once pulled in a new dependency and had the program fail to compile just by virtue of that dependency being present [because both my code and the new code both impl'd the same trait on the same type in some other code].

I don’t think that sums up the post well. I would say: The phrase “it turns out” has a surprising way of disarming skepticism in readers. While surprising, it’s easy to understand: the phrase suggests a story of the author’s journey of beli

I inferred that they’re referring to the fact that in typical C the compiler must have seen a function earlier in the file for you to use it. One solution (that the author doesn’t like) is to put the leaf functions first so that they’re def

Doesn't this depend a lot on how long your actions run? Like, you may have already invested in your own hardware (maybe because your actions use a lot of resources and it's cheaper) and now you have to pay per-minute of action r

It is, although you can have sharded PostgreSQL, in which case I agree with your assessment that you want random PKs to distribute them. It's workload-specific, too. If you want to list ranges of them by PK, then of course random isn&

You're right that you have to "write code well" to prevent this sort of thing. It's also true that Rust's language features, if you use them, can make this sort of mistake a compile-time error rather than something
