Yeah that is what I said, cost has gone down.

Not really. Actually, for the purposes of cybersecurity, local models are far superior. Both offense and defense.

That is the direct effect of reduced cost. Jevon's paradox type effect: cost goes down demand goes up. You can AI-check so many more things that would be very time consuming earlier.

The only thing AI has changed is that it has dropped both: the cost of attack and the cost of defense. Nothing in the game has materially changed; the game has just sped up.

Yep. IP is not true "property" either, since it is not "scarce"

What is "quality"? What is the objective test of it? I have made my definition clear: if people are choosing a product consistently, it must be of some value to them. What is your definition?

on what basis do you claim the local product is "good" if people are not choosing it?

mcploitable is a set of MCP servers that do not know they are part of a training range. Each is designed with intentionally vulnerable tools and/or overly permissive prompts. They are designed to replicate real-life agentic attacks and

I did run the comment through AI, maybe that's what triggered the flagging.

I honestly don't think it's possible to have a QA team large enough to handle the gajillions of websites that come up and disappear every day. They just have to come up with better and better metrics until they find one that appro

This project comes three months too late for me sadly... I'll still check it out though

Exactly how I learned to touch type; only it was Discord not IRC. The more things change, the more they remain the same.

He means that welfare beneficiaries and women vote in way that is against his image of what a capitalist democracy should be.
21.
by agileAlligator 3y ago
Yes, that is what he said. Welfare beneficiaries and women are two groups libertarians find are tough constituencies to appeal to, and both of these groups have increased in size since 1920.

If I read the post correctly, they are making changes to the API, not the website itself, right? You will still be able to visit the website and download the subtitles you want. You just won't be able to make use of the API without pay

Steps 1 and 2 are more reliant on human-to-human communication if you are developing an application to be used by some end user and not something that just ingests data and processes it. It takes skill to translate non-technical speak into

The workflow has shifted a step up: 1. Define problem 2. Generate specifications <- 3. Write the code Knowing how to do step 3 will get less and less important everyday.

Reminiscent of Gwern's website[0] (click on any one of the articles to see what I am talking about). Was that an inspiration in creating this? [0]: https://www.gwern.net/index
