Well, giving it access to a simple linux terminal is theoretically enough to cause more damage than most people are comfortable with, and doing so is trivial enough that it will be done (and has been, tens of thousands of times).

A workflow I was introduced to and have worked with a lot in my teams is, 1. Everyone uses feature branches 2. Everyone cleans up their branch using interactive rebase on top of main before review 3. All merges have been freshly rebase on m

I run as uid 0, but it's not called root, because my system is mine and I'll call it what I want.

I used to complain about all the levels of indirection of modern software, running in a javascript jit, in a browser container, in a vm, on an os, etc. I eventually just accepted it, but this new agent layer really takes things to a new lev

I've created my own keyboard layout plus do some key remapping on my mac. Are you sure this won't work for tilde? The tilde key exists in the key map here: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/tech

Sure, but it's probably unwise to have your production credentials on your development machine at all. It's far more likely to be compromised than your locked down production environment.

I must have missed some trends changing in the last decade or so. People have production secrets in the open on their development machines? Or what type of secrets are stored in the local .env files that the LLM should not see? I try to run

It's interesting, because a few years ago I would have put this strictly under the "not invented here" fallacy, where we'd now be stuck maintaining another project for the foreseeable future. I used to press pretty hard

Interesting! I know Sweden was not first, but Stockholm has had 3g coverage in the subway since 2005 and 4g since 2016.

If I understand correctly the only thing not public that was leaked was the role each person had in the government.

Of course, majority is not very cleanly applicable yous politics. Less than half (which according to Mirriam Webster is the definition) of the votes cast in the last election went to Trump/Vance, and with such a poor voter turnout it w

When using aider for development, do you typically review the generated diffs in aider itself or do you use an external tool? Trying to figure out what a good workflow looks like.

I wonder why Andreessen needs to use disinformation to shape opinion if the actual problem is so bad? I find it very unlikely that he does not know how PEP actually works. It is so demonstrably false. Anyone who has worked in an finance adj

Does anyone know if Embark are still using a lot of rust in their production games? They seem to be a very well funded studio (lots of employees, big fancy office, competes with other AAA FPS-games). I wonder if these experimental-sounding

This is my experience in very small companies (think a <10 person startup). The value of everyone knowing a lot of what's going on from immersion is immense. You can have very little processes around information sharing (which takes

I worked in the robotics lab at my university for a few months. That was a really nice way of making software more tangible. Seeing things move through physical space made it more real.

Perhaps semi-off topic, but it will be interesting to see if silicon anodes (like https://www.silanano.com develops) will take off. They promise up to 20% increased capacity from switching from carbon anodes alone, which sounds

This sounds sane to me. I don't think people in general have a good understanding of how these generative AI products produce their answers, and I think many would assume hallucinated information to be true. This is bad in all cases, b

Because it's not true? Anyone who has ever been close to the customer support role knows that there is a constant battle to help the customers answer questions on their own, and you will never be completely successful. It seems some pe

You can easily sail from the other countries that have a baltic sea coast line though? It's not far. A small yacht can definitely do it.

I've come to the same conclusion as you. I sometimes find it very hard to parse, but given all the praise he gets from very smart individuals, I put it down to not being native.

I have not been close to this field in over a decade, but this is the internet, so I will comment anyway! I think one of the issues is that in some parts of academia, progress is made one PhD at a time. And a PhD is almost always too narrow

Adding to that, even if we had perfect end-effectors with a good sense of touch, understanding the real world enough to manipulate it is hard. These days we have 3d cameras, but they still only see part of the objects we want to manipulate.

In the end of the 90s I was 11-12 years old and used this to crack a copy of the video game SiN. I didn't really know what I was doing, but followed random tutorials for generic game cracking. They guided me through the w32dasm disasse
