   I'm pretty sure they forked Zig long before it supported incremental compilation. In fact, it's still experimental and not enabled by default.

   LLMs have truly killed obfuscation. It only worked previously by making things extremely tedious but AI doesn't care about that.

   Well I think they are probably well intentioned and annoying... and possibly net negative but I'll reserve judgement on that. E.g. I've had people find genuine bugs and then basically paste their entire Claude conversation into

   That would surprise me a great deal if it were true.

   You think OpenAI intentionally hacked HuggingFace? Please, take of the tin foil hat.

   Is that hard to believe? It's got to be one of the easiest situations for AI to win in. You probably don't even need any fancy modern AI; I would have thought MPC would do most of the job.

   It found a 0day exploit in the sandbox's package proxy (almost certainly Artifactory). Without source code access which is very impressive.

   > Didn't the model + harness do what was asked? Depends exactly what they asked it to do, but it very clearly didn't do what was intended, or what an honest human would do. Stop trying to find a gotcha.

    Yeah that's what I don't get. How can they possibly distinguish between good guys trying to secure code they wrote and bad guys trying to attack code they didn't?

    Hasn't been my experience at all, but also why would you do that? The CLI has an awful confusing UX and also doesn't easily show you the state of things. If you're trying to teach a child how filesystems work, do you open a t

    But I do have an issue with you preferring `main`. It means I have the constant annoyance of remembering whether a project uses `main` or `master`. It's not a big annoyance but it is an especially painful one because it didn't

    When beginners need help with Git and they're using the CLI the first and best advice I give them is to stop using the CLI.

    Thanks for not using AI to write this. So much more pleasant to read.

    > There is about 150 years of cognitive science experimentation in animals Yeah that would be relevant if AI were an animal... As I said, it's clearly intelligent, but a quite different intelligence to that shared by animals.

    Do you mean Supernote? How do they compare to the Remarkable tablets?

    This is for epaper tablets, just tiny ones. Remarkable looks like it has a pretty active hacking community: https://github.com/rehackable/awesome-remarkable#launchers

    The Remarkable tablets are pretty big and have a large community.

    ESP32-S3 is really too underpowered for larger e-ink devices.

    It's probably impossible to get reliable statistics about that given how both groups are trying to keep everything secret. But you can consider how many paedophiles there are vs how many horny teenagers there are. Based on that it woul

    Yes that's exactly his point. E2E is often sold as preventing the owners of the server from being able to read the messages at all, even if they are evil and misleading you. That's obviously only the case if they aren't also

    I think you've imagined this faulty understanding. There are many mechanisms by which Apple could actually decrypt the data despite pinky promises not to. You listed one. There are others.
