Security cameras have been internet connected for a lot longer than we had this kind of system where they all have computer vision running and tagging everything in a massive database. They were always internet connected and mass surveillan

In my experience it's always the permissions system where messy real world business has to be translated in to SQL that doesn't lock up the system when some program admin added to 200 teams tries to load the index page. "What

This is what the managers at my company think. But it ends up generating a wall of slop. I always end up scrolling to the bottom and looking for the original customer email or product request that was used to generate the ticket above.

Most vibeslop these days is superficially good in that it has unit tests, compiles, passes the style guide, but it's bad on a macro level in that it makes the system more complicated, ignores the wider design of the app, implements wha

I feel like we should be doing something like requiring paying overtime for over 30 hours a week. The complication here is countries are competing with each other as well as internally. That said, most jobs are local, so cheap construction

This is still less safe and less convenient than sandboxing. I want them to be able to run whatever command they want inside the sandbox even if it's traditionally dangerous (overwrites files, etc) because it can't touch anything

I think the simplest answer that probably accounts for most of it is just that employees all have overhead, 20 people working full time is more efficient than 40 people working half time. Less HR work, less moving context between people, le

These models generate the most unreadable bash commands I've ever seen. Utilising every single option available and piping the result through multiple layers of regex and junk. The mental load of having to actually review these command

Sandboxing seems like the obvious solution. These tools prompt me to review an absurd number of very complex bash commands where there is realistically no way to carefully review them. I just want to put the thing in a box with the code and

It's already burst in South Korea when China showed they can make memory chips too. And it would have burst by now in the US if OpenAI and Anthropic were public.

I wonder if the realised the entire website has become the most unbearable AI slop imaginable and if they don't do anything about it they won't have any real humans reading posts, just agents trying to advertise to each other.

Having out of date public book boxes isn't really that big of a deal, at least compared to the massive amounts of broken entries, duplicates, and incorrectly licensed data that would end up from free and unrestricted bulk imports. As i

Personally I would much rather Google delete my files than hand them to an attacker. I can restore them from a backup. Tech companies need to do better at encouraging users to keep their own local backup alongside the cloud one.

A lot of people who use a car to get around will spend most days doing literally no actual exercise. For someone who lives in a more walkable area, 22 minutes of exercise is just living live normally without actively "exercising".

On Windows and Linux it is better to just turn it off because sleep is broken on most hardware. But on Mac there is next to no advantage to doing that. MacOS sleep is also more of a hybrid between sleep and hibernate where it will after eno

Agreed, I'm waiting for the time when 48GB+ ram is just the standard that computers come with rather than being the absolute top tier option. It just doesn't make sense to spend extra on a local AI computer right now when the same
