Yeah, I agree that's the most likely explanation. My point is that these demo hiccups should not show up in your announcement, it casts doubt on the product for no good reason. It's sloppy.

Since people seem interested in this comment of mine, here's another fun line I noticed in the same video, at the very top of the logs, just before the Step 5 agent found the already-completed project: > Error: OpenAI API error (403

Completely agree. I think the root of many of its issues is the inability to add a key that you don't currently hold. This prevents me from storing a backup key in a safe, for example. I proposed an alternative scheme many years ago:

I'd argue that checked exceptions are still worth it, even though all the problems pointed out do exist. And that's because it works to inform consumers of what a producer is doing. Haskell has the IO and Maybe monads; Java commun

> there is nearly no magic I agree with the rest, but there's definitely a lot of magic in Java. This is from both what features the languages makes available (many) and how the community uses them (often). I've had so many h

I think tagging on HN is an idea whose time has come. We already had informal tags for "Show HN" and "Ask HN" for some time. A few fixed tags chosen at submission time might suffice, for example: - Global news, AI, Softw

That's exactly the questions that I expect to complicate cases, and force even the smallest chatbot malfunction to become an expensive legal ordeal. And why we should have strong answers to that before it becomes a widespread problem.

Just to reiterate what OpenAI did, from someone who works in security: 1. They were running experimental models in sandboxes that had access to a "proxy" (Artifactory) to download tools from the internet. This proxy is full of com

What trigger would you setup to protect against thieves ? I can't think of any that has the right sensitivity (not triggering if I start running to catch the bus), and won't escalate the violence (like my fingerprint wiping the p

by BoppreH 2mo ago
That matches my understanding too. Unfortunately it sounds like the poster was suggesting to wipe the device after the government requests access, and was probably not planning on telling the officers about the trigger.

IANAL, but I would bet that's still destruction of evidence. Judges are human, for better or worse, and can see the intention behind cute tricks like this. It might work if your fingerprint was used while you were unconscious, but an

Also, can I add a backup key without having the private key with me? Ideally I would like to keep a master key in a vault, to recover compromised accounts and such, but requiring me to load the master key to create every account prevents tr

Doesn't "police informant" include whistleblowers and other useful roles? I don't see why a person who reports lack of PPE on a worksite should be grouped with a cop that asks for bribes. I'm also curious what kind

Most fire hydrants are never used either, but we don't consider them wasted. In your opinion, what chance of QC would warrant PQC migration? Would you be ok with a 20% chance of everyone being caught unprepared? 30%? 50%? Keep in mind

Having read the article, I still don't understand the point of 3D modeling emoji. Even the user interviews didn't mention it, and problems like "what the back of a smiling face looks like" sound entirely self-inflicted.
