I was once a juror during a very vindictive two day civil trial against what was essentially a hobby business. I left with a newfound respect for binding arbitration. My feelings are different where there's grave power imbalances like

Maybe, but what about when "Claude do this" picks WordPress for someone that doesn't know what a reverse shell is?

"AI" is relevant context here but apparently not the Jaguar Land Rover hack.

It only makes sense that fetuses which choose to be born into blue collar families in the wrong zip code are more likely to continue to make poor decisions for the rest of their lives. You just can't trust people with such a poor histo

I'm glad I don't have any ~~bookie~~ prediction app accounts, because I'd now be willing to put money on an incoming settlement.

The content does not read like it's well thought out to me, but I am at least convinced it's human.

For once I wish they would've taken a more technological solution to this social problem and enforced more limited CI time and disk space quotas by default. Seems like it'd be fairer and require less active policing. My read from

I've found LLMs useful for surfacing popular recommendations. I also get the overwhelming feeling that it's all very early days still when the machine mixes together whatever was crawled into the weights with a web search or two a

You may (or may not) find Paul McKenney's free book on parallel programming interesting - it has an unusual tone for a Computer Science textbook that made it less dry for me. There's a substantial section covering lock free struct

The Don is too busy selling exclusive TLDs to private companies that won't use them to care what the enforcers are up to.

I always figured telegram got the screws turned on them all the time because their lack of E2E encryption meant it was viable to demand they proactively police the platform in the first place. Maybe Signal would just be outright blocked in

I assumed they just wanted to cultivate FOMO to sell an even more expensive version to researchers later on.

Counter question: where's the useful production-grade software that's been made entirely with "agent swarms"? Personally, I don't think useful business problems can be solved entirely with LLM loops. If you choose n

I would be very surprised to see any "make it safe" solution that does not render these models useless for programming. I assume posts like this are mostly clout-motivated, but I really dislike the implied vision for what LLMs sho

I'd be really happy to come across this in a project I were interested in. So much hobby OSS is infested with slop that I don't even want to skim the code if I pick up a hint that there's no humans at the wheel.

Stars are a really bad metric for quality/popularity but they're something here. I think some sort of impact score when combined with repo age, # contributors, etc would be pretty valuable.

I worry the sort of core classes that are in massive lecture halls (and everyone remembers hating) would be more of a "blind leading the blind" situation if run like this. Maybe not with lavish funding and small classes. I had a

You aren't ready to get that job until you've truly accepted your role as a genderless machine that turns salary into personal validation for the hiring manager.

I never thought I'd defend Electron, but I'd rather use the bloated web UI than a vibe coded Qt/GTK version I'm positive will not have seen any human QA.

That is interesting. Half a year is not nothing and I expect it's harder to keep a project functioning when the base is vibe coded rather than having mature abstractions and architecture already. I am still skeptical on this method&#x2

I'm just a petty conspiracy theorist, but my assumption is their use of Persona was part of "the deal" they've been encouraged to make, and what you're seeing is a company being brought to heel.
