It sounds like you’ve given up on an open web. Possibly the rational thing for you to do in your circumstances, but nonetheless a sad place we are in.

A foreign company can’t steal your IP to build out competing products? Or use source code to find novel vulnerabilities and deeply compromise your company?

I don’t participate in bounties at all unless I believe there is a moral obligation or I’m set to make thousands of dollars. In each case, $0.05 is fine. For a typical commercial entity? $0.05 is not a deterrent; the companies legal team is

Reminds me of someone (well known in their field) who charged $0.05 for using their “contact me” page. A trivial amount for someone who genuinely wanted to contact them, but just high enough to prevent any kind of scaled abuse

Spinning it up is not the problem. You want to spend the time to throughly test it (or have your agent swarm test it) so you don’t waste the opportunity of having HN input? I’d be wary of a founder with such bad NIH

Fixing is now the bottleneck. Most patches are non-trivial and then each project/maintainer has a preferred coding style, and they’re being inundated with PRs already, and don’t take kindly to slop. LLMs can find the CVE fully zero int

You should probably add a huge disclaimer that this is an untested, experimental project. Related, a direct comparison to other sandboxes and what you offer over those would be nice

As a parent to two young kids and in more of a leadership position at work, Claude allows me to grind through my backlog of ideas in minutes between other tasks, and see which ones take flight.

I personally observe AI creation phenomenally good code, much better than I can write. At insane speed, with minimal oversight. And today’s AI is the worst we will ever have. Progress in AI can easily be measured by the speed at which the g

Batshit crazy? 3 years ago LLMs couldn’t solve 7x8. Now they’re building complex applications in one shot, solving previously unsolved math and science problems. Heck, one company built a (prototype but functional) web browser And you say

I never said anything about 2FA magic links? We can do much, much better via things like FaceID integrated passkeys, and probably further steps from there. > Stop requiring computers/phones for everything. Ah yes, that sounds straig

Hilarious example to use, because that literally is an effort that’s underway. Thousands of people get scammed and have their lives ruined every year, so deprecating passwords is absolutely the right move

Disclosure: I work @ goog, opinions my own There’s absolutely been a lot of focus on LLMs, but they simply work very well at a lot of things. That said, Carbon (C++ successor) is an active experimental (open source) project. Fuchsia (operat

Have a link to the source? And have they said they can’t break it, or haven’t yet? I’d imagine from a business perspective it would hardly be worth it
