In my experience devs rarely have anything to say in B2B contracts. At best they can recommend a solution to the decision maker, but in almost all deals i was a part of they didn’t have any influence on the final decision. I wish it were ot

Great message but I wonder if the people who do everything via LLM would even care to read such a message. And at what point is it hard/impossible to judge whether something is entirely LLM or not? I sometimes struggle a lot with this

In your view why is using the AuthZ server SDK not a good solution - or maybe other way around, what would be a more general solution?

I obviously don’t know what the future has in store for us. But I’m pretty sure that any imaginable outcome of this war will be bad for the US, at a time where they are withdrawing from global politics to concentrate on national politics.

You can already do that now? It’s actually much harder to “better” yourself when in jail than outside. The conditions range from pretty bad to horrible. Of course if you go to jail in like Sweden it might not be so bad. But everywhere else

Let’s revisit this comment in 2030. Iran is very different from Iraq in many ways.

Starting the war with Iran was definitely a pretty stupid decision, even at this point of it. In a couple of years it will look like the beginning of the end for the US hegemony.

Idk I would rather spend 10 years in jail later in life than in my twenties. Otherwise I agree with you it’s not a trade off that is worth it at any point in life

The Palantir themselves aren’t evil, they were made by the elves long before the events of LOTR. Essentially they are just a tool. However I heard that Thiels favourite book is the rewrite of LOTR from the perspective of Sauron, where Ganda

The reality is that resources are constrained and there is definitely conflict between different goals - if you invest in one thing you can’t invest as much in another. For me it looks like the investment in QC is way bigger than its real l

> any of my security friends if they wanted to spend time on … quantum I commend your friends but many people in these HN threads seem to be ready to implement post-quantum encryption right now to protect against some future threats. &gt

You don’t need any QC attacks if you can far easier find exploits in the same top10 vulns that were used 20 years ago… Industry should first address that very real and serious risk that is present _right now_ before thinking about QC.

The problem is more that people concentrate a lot of energy on hypothetical future quantum attacks when the actual threats have been the same since the 00s: unvalidated input, buffer overflow, bad auth, xss, injection etc. All the big impor

Going back on shutting down nuclear would cost more money and energy than building out sustainable energy - just see how well UKs or Frances most recent nuclear experiments went - tens of billions over budget and nothing to show for it aft

More competition is good though - people are just going to be much more picky and if your content is not distinguishable from AI slop then it deservedly will perish.
