I agree. I think it may be possible that we build AI some day that does, but the current local minimum (attention and transformers) is not it - and I don't see that trajectory changing any time soon.

To be fair, you have to wrangle it into submission by having the app launch fail.

They can, but scope and features increase surface area: their limited functionality intrinsically limits that.

These days I sprinkle less salt on Stallman's _software_ ideas, there are many things I thought he was being an idiot about, which very recently became true. But maybe it could Nostradamus-isms: predict enough an eventually something w

I've started distrusting anything good people have to say about Zig because of the wide variety of untrue claims made about it - unless those claims come from Andrew himself. Last time I was assured that compile-time memory guarantees

To Odin's credit, it is used for production software that _isn't_ a toy (by the language's own authors). It is probably 1.0 quality already.

Apps can have vulnerabilities (intentional or not). It's a contrived example, but maybe some weather app has a custom icon feature, which means you can then browse photos by opening it on the lock screen and going to that setting.

It protects the content from being hoovered up into an LLM without credit or attribution. Anti-DOS is only half the story.

And that's very suspicious given that they published the paper in 2026. Was it somehow impossible to find energy prices for 25+26?

What benefit does a native build have over proton? I used to care more about it on Linux, until I realized that "native build" probably means "doesn't work." I can only imagine this being much worse on a niche gamin

The intermediate level Rust dogma is to try your hardest to avoid the heap, and to tear your hair out at the throne of monomorphization. While both are broadly true, it's articles like this that show that a single pointer (or call) ind

It is so much worse than "just" AGPL, YouTube happened to rec this to me yesterday: https://youtu.be/mAm-kpiHRcw . Granted, there are much worse and more pressing evils in our world, but Bambu is just pure and utte

I'm not 100% sure what I'd do to detect this for shells specifically, maybe prompt the user, but my toy harness scolds refuses to re-read files because the previous iteration of GLM was room-looping on that. Clearly something that

In my, admittedly extremely small sample set, concept-focused memory is common for people with any degree or kind of dyslexia. I used to struggle with understanding how people couldn't understand things, now that I'm more mature i

Should have said yes, told it deploy to prod, then given it a real browser to test its changes. For science.

Yesterday I told it "don't use std mutex, use parking_lot" for its plan. It ignored that sole instruction (i.e. nothing else in my message), making zero changes to the plan, three freaking times in a row.

Assuming I was okay with the political exploits of Elon and his companies: Grok was supposed to be the unbiased model, that is: regurgitate everything it has read. Obviously all data has bias, even all of the data at once, but the sales pit
