If this prompt injection doesn’t work then what’s the big deal? If it does work, then what on earth is the whole industry doing feeding untrusted documents to LLMs?

HN title mangling strikes again. “How embryos shape their limbs” and “Embryos shape their limbs” are completely different titles for a discovery.

And there are basic things that shouldn’t be subjective at all but that the IRS refuses to give a clear answer to, like if/how the SALT cap affects deduction for NIIT. There are at least 3 possible interpretations and no consensus.

The Mercurial project has been incrementally rewriting core operations in Rust for several years now. As Pierre-Yves says in the talk, you can do an hg status on a million-file repo in 100ms. I rewrote hg annotate (aka blame) in Rust last y

Programming languages take a long time to build. Zig is a more ambitious project than most. I see lots of progress in these release notes and I'm happy to "give a pass" for the fact that it's not finished. No one's

Glad I switched from their personal computer backup to using restic + B2 a while ago. Every night my laptop and homelab both back up to each other and to B2. It takes less than a minute and I have complete control over the exclusions and re

I recently tried disabling notification in LinkedIn. The designers and engineers working there who created the notifications settings are truly evil. You have to go through 14 categories. Some of them let you toggle the whole category at on

No, that’s a different thing. “noreturn” is like Rust’s “never” type (spelled as an exclamation mark, !). Also known as an “uninhabited type” in programming language theory.

I took the current events as an opportunity to try switching to Claude and I actually like it much better so far.

It does not, at all. Forming that judgment because of “Enter X” is ridiculous. I recognize my friend Claude in disguise all the time on HN and this is not one of those cases.

Notice the “quiet” at the end. LLMS love to shoehorn “quiet” or “quietly” into their writing. I learned this from Sam Kriss’s NYT piece and I keep noticing it now.

This is one of the best posts on I’ve read on this topic in the years since ChatGPT launched. Was hoping it would have gotten more discussion here!

This has been happening a lot recently, where an article immediately sets off all my AI alarm bells but most people seem to be happily engaging with it. I’m worried we’re headed for a dystopian future where all communication is outsourced t

I hope someone will create a Debian package for Immich. I’m running a bunch of services and they are all nicely organized with user foo, /var/lib/foo, journalctl -u foo, systemctl start foo, except for Immich which is the odd

I think the new async IO is great in simple examples like the one shown in the article. But I’m much less sure how well it will work for more complex I/O like you need in servers. I filed an issue about it here: https://gith

It’s not the same situation because with async/await you end up with two versions of every function or library (see Rust’s std and crates like async_std, Node’s readFile and readFileSync). In Zig you always pass the “io” parameter to d

Colors for 2 ways of doing IO vs colors for doing IO or not are so different that it’s confusing to call both of them “function coloring problem”. Only the former leads to having to duplicate everything (sync version and async version). If

I installed Jellyfin on my home server a few months ago but it’s already broken by upgrading to 10.11, and unusable until I restore 10.10 from backup or start over: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/

Would you ever really use that? That just shows how bad it is, IMO. Any time I want a sum type I want names, not hardcoded integers.
