I agree there are a bunch of small inflections that make me confident such a solution is possible today, but llms just aren't one of them. Enterprise software is a prisoner of its own old mindset and low resource allocation.

Why do so many see LLM as the inflection that makes this all possible? So much of the proposed automation can be built in totally deterministic ways for cheaper. Not everything benefits from being forced to look like a non deterministic lan

I'm struggling to understand why I wouldn't just use wireshark and specify the interface as well. Reading docs shows you need to invoke your container with this as a wrapper which to me is quite a bit scarier than attaching to an

What seems a bit silly is writing all this in response to the clickbait title, but clearly not reading the article. The title is intentionally misleading, the article argues the exact opposite, albeit as a marketing ploy for a newsletter on

One is not like the others - firejail is aimed at more of desktop type applications you interact with, where the others can do so but are more suited for arbitrary workloads. A parent comment mentions ebpf syscall interception, many end up

I would argue this extends to all systems and behaviors that aren't formally verified. Bugs notwithstanding, breaking current encryption is a mathematically backed concept. The issue is broken implementations.

What about Linux namespaces makes you think it's not running on bare metal? Maybe you are thinking of versions of docker that introduce a Linux hyper visor like macos?

Whoever it is you think is out there doing it and promoting it. That's why we have phrases like "a culture of harassment", "a culture if lies", etc. The point is things that appear as universal absolutes are not the

I won't argue that, but there are cultures out there that disagree - so how can it be universal?

Very underrated comment. Right and wrong are largely a function of culture, not universal law.

The issue with SElinux is usability. A company called intrinsic tried a similar "allowlist" approach to javascript based on the assumption that you could never control this sprawl and had to assume every package was malicious. I n

The comments claiming no evidence are totally baffling, there are mountains of studies with data. This thread scares me with the amount of misinformation being aggressively pedaled.

Elitism is alive and well in this little nook. Equating platform engineering, SRE and sysadmin to the same thing. Platforms are often large scale distributed systems, dealing with problems like ensuring 100000s of compute nodes are in a dep

Calling it reflection is, for me, further anthropomorphizing. However I am in violent agreement that a common feature of llm debate is centered around anthropomorphism leading to claims of "thinking longer" or "reflecting&quo

Why is this distinction lost in every thread on this topic, I don't get it.

I struggle with this idea of "run it long enough", or another description I have heard "give the model time to think" it's not a thing - it takes as long as it takes. What im taking away from this is two things: 1.

But the cannabis industry is mostly large companies capturing regulators and litigating genetics, so I'm not sure the distinction is accurate.

Someone reading this might assume its zero sum to you - as if people on Ozempic have not already been exercising and monitoring caloric intake without the associated weight loss/health results they desire - and have only chosen it beca

What you are saying makes sense. Subjectively I feel like they could have done a better job at making this distinction clear given the explosive use for weight loss - but maybe it's just because my interest in this is outside of diabet

this part was both clear and unclear to me - does it exclude patients using it for weight loss or not?

I'll admit I haven't seen the training data but some basic googling shows a subset of the labeling is syntax annotations. I am not claiming LLMs parse code in the way you are suggesting, but they certainly have token level awarene

As soon as we admit to ourselves that agent is just another word for context isolation among coordinated llm tasks. Will agents still matter once models do a better job paying complete attention to large contexts?

There is a lot to unpack here, but is your code so interesting that it defies understanding by an AST? Code models are trained to semantically represent code, so unless you use semantics that exist outside of software engineering the claim

You can still require biometric to unlock passkey for each use, so the risk is really about authenticated session theft in that scenario
