Nightmare because users approach LLMs with the false confidence that they're always right, and present LLM outputs as fact to Doctors who have to waste time explaining that it's wrong most of the time. It hurts more than it helps.

Cloudflare famously does anycast so the DNS answer you get is the same no matter where you're coming from. Your numbers there can't be attributable to DNS. On the contrary, Cloudflare can short circuit the recursive lookup for any

You betray your ignorance of how parasocial OnlyFans and their ilk get. Yes, people get real connection out of it, whether its with who they think they're talking to or not. I think that connecting those people into a chat bot instead

God that's depressing. Even when you _pay_ for human connection you're being fobbed off onto an AI

This already happens in the opposite direction. See: news websites that drop their pay wall for GoogleBot

These reliability issues are starting to feel like a pretty big indictment of their product, which they are presumably using to write their software and build their systems. If _Anthropic_ can't make Claude build reliable systems, what

"domestic" "mass" surveillance, two words that can be stretched so thin they basically invalidate the whole term. Mass surveillance on other countries? Guess that's fine. Surveillance on just a couple of cities that

RLMs are a new architecture, but you can mimic an RLM by providing the context through a tool, yes

Kind of leaving out a lot of detail there: - Amazon's $50B is only $15B, with the rest being "after certain conditions are met", whatever that means (probably an IPO, which isn't happening) - The $30B each from softbank

Profitable, and yet missed their revenue targets in Q3, causing their stock to tumble. That's an emergency. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-11-06/dorsey-s-...

A lot of Japanese websites also have to be tremendously over provisioned because of how regimented the country is. A friend of mine worked infrastructure for a local newspaper, and every day at 6PM they'd send a push notification to al

One has to wonder when the board realises Dane was a bad replacement for JGC. These outages are getting ridiculous

I would love to know how this compares to just prompting Claude Code with "please find and fix any security vulnerabilities in this code"

"It was a social experiment" has the same energy as "it's just a prank bro", as if that somehow makes it highbrow and not prima facie offensive

Right, and the court decides wether that information is relevant anymore. You're suggesting we take that ability and give it to random third parties
17.
by vimda 7mo ago
I find this a weird take. Are you saying you _want_ unaccountable and profit driven third party companies to become quasi-judicial arbiters of justice?

You absolutely can, either through the system prompt or by hardcoding overrides in the backend before it even hits the LLM, and I can guarantee that companies like Google are doing both

Ceph is the OG. Every now and then different attempts to replace it pop up, work well for some use cases, and then realise how hard the actual problem they are trying to solve is. Ceph always wins in the end.

They are testing it, every time someone signs up and it fails. We don't know that this wasn't something that changed on Google's side, so IMO it's a bigger indictment that no one is monitoring their live email deliverabi

At this point Tech investment and analysis is so divorced from any kind of reality that it's more akin to lemmings on the cliff than careful analysis of fundamentals

Neat that this exists, but priming children to copy/paste random JavaScript into their Dev consoles feels like a recipe for disaster. Bets on how long before malware starts buying up "discord age verification bypass" ad spot

You don't think "railway" at least conjures ideas about the company? It's not some random word. Not every company needs to be "helps you ship software quickly inc"

This is the Dropbox problem. People are willing to pay for convenience, and tech folks tend to underestimate how much convenience comes from seemingly simple solutions

It may not be their duty to filter it out, but it should definitely be their duty to not take money to bump it to the top of their results. Let the algorithm dump random unlinked medium posts on the 5th page where they belong

Telegram which famously didn't have _any_ end to end encryption for ages, and even now only has very limited opt-in "secret chats"?

It's a bit vague, but the idea is right. If your SaaS is built with AI, then any customer you have can also build it with AI, and whatever they build is going to be better suited to their needs and will run cheaper because they aren&#x

How are those "bugs" not immediately disqualifying? "Move fast and break things" is not an acceptable strategy for controlling 2 tonne bricks hurtling down the freeway
