There's a lot of people agreeing and disagreeing with the article, but on what grounds? How do you know "domain expertise" is a "moat"? Vibes? Has there been ongoing, persistent attacks by AI on domain expertise whe

It's not possible, it reduces to the halting problem, unless you start restricting the Javascript/Typescript you allow. Otherwise the best you can do is be solid on common special cases. Which is what a modern (non-static) JS&#x2F

A runtime is needed for GC, unless you're fundamentally changing Javascript. Even golang has a runtime.

On the contrary, I'm assuming good faith on the part of those who implement these "dark" patterns. They're done for a reason, and that reason is not pure evil from their perspective.

You should turn around! That's literally my point. If everyone refused to touch a site that blasts you with a dickover, they would disappear overnight. Clearly people do not do this enough, because it's still being implemented.

I'm not in this industry. I block basically everything. I think the state of these design antipatterns is terrible. But this is a Chesterton's Fence problem and we need to understand where it came from if we're going to fix i

Microsoft's blog is calling this criminal activity. They are threatening to bring in the government to go after this speech. This is a first amendment issue.

It's also quite the blame gymnastics. The code that enables the bad actors was written, published, and distributed at massive scale by Microsoft. The "crime" they are accusing the researcher of is telling the world about it.

What gets me is back in the day when I said I was into tech I got shat on for being a nerd. Now I get shit on for destroying the world. And because I don't care about whose company is dating who (I'd rather be coding), people call

There are already VR overlay applications that do this on top of any game, not just Minecraft.

I agree: running simulated computers inside of Minecraft is a significantly more impressive technical feat than bolting on display surfaces to planes with a mod. There's a big difference between something being compiled to run inside o

If such a thing ever becomes big enough that money can be made, it will rot, and orders of magnitude faster than the current internet did. More than making the new stack non-interoperable with existing tech, you would have to make it non-in

It'll get worse. Just wait until Gemini is writing recommendations for political candidates based on who got the bid.

A race to lock in the money next to SpaceX (which just filed an S-1)? This can't go well.

Thanks for the tip! I'm pretty jaded on social media but you gave me a spark of hope.

Fair enough! Not a fan of Twitter either. Which is why I wouldn't want to normalize it being the kind of place where company announcements are made. IMO anyone who sees it as worrying is right, and I'm glad they're not desens

You are kind of saying it's a good idea or at least a totally acceptable one. You're saying Twitter is famous for being famous, and looking down at someone who expresses dismay at this for being behind the times.

There was a time when web meant sharing your hobbies with supportive anonymous strangers, a time when crypto meant doing clever things with numbers. In my experience you can pretty much always bet on greed, money, and psychopathy to ruin an

I've had good luck with using LLMs to create procedural content engines for my game prototypes. So the distinction between AI and procedural might get even blurrier.

The linked model does not claim to support camera control, it doesn't appear to be SANA-WM. You might be getting confused.

by avaer 5mo ago
Is it the same model? The naming is confusing but my understanding is the WM version is not the same as the Video, though I'm sure they are highly related.

If you haven't tried AI modeling pipelines in the last year you'll be surprised. The star of the show here is https://platform.worldlabs.ai/ (author works there, I don't) which is really good. There's al

Personal vendettas between the world's most powerful psychopaths playing out in the stock market while everyone else suffers does seem like the current meta. So it makes sense.

I guess the incentive is for the hackers to not leak, so they can get away with the next ransom.

I'd argue the kinds of things that LLMs spit out these days don't actually require "software engineering" and haven't for a while. If you can slop it out with a coding agent it's probably not the kind of thing
