Well you're not giving the access token to Claude directly. The token is private to the MCP server and Claude uses the server's API, so the server could (should) take measures to prevent things like this from happening. It could n

Your issue with the semantics of the word "attack" is uninteresting. Clearly this is a security flaw of the MCP server that could be mitigated in several different ways.

AI is a scientific discipline. Software development is an engineering discipline. Do you like science? Then dive deep into LLMs. Be ready for science, though. It involves shooting a thousand shots in the dark until you discover something ne

You're talking about very subtle effects that have more to do with an individual than with a speech community. English has so many "standard" words because the speech community became unusually eager to borrow them from other

The hoax is the interpretation that the language you speak has a significant impact on how you can think. This article seems to argue it's the inverse relationship, which is not nearly as controversial. English-speaking skiers have mor

Perhaps the next step is having the LLMs ask questions on SO when they routinely fumble particular topics. I could see a system of knowledge bounties where people are compensated for providing accurate, in-depth training data on niche top

This will have interesting implications for the LLMs as well, since SO is a wealth of training data. In my experience, LLMs are pretty useless when it comes to helping me with newer, faster-evolving, experimental tools and libraries, which

For me it really clicked when I realized ownership / lifetimes / references are just words used to talk about when things get dropped. Maybe because I have a background in C so I'm used to manual memory management. Rust basic

That would be a strange motivation, since American colonists actually paid lower taxes than British citizens, until the American tax rate duly went up after the revolution.

The prevailing trade doctrine pre-Trump is called the most favored nation system, by which the countries of the WTO agreed to treat all other members by the same rules. That didn't preclude tariffs at all, but for instance China could

I don't think it's called smuggling if you're paying taxes on it. If anything, actual smugglers would've supported the taxes because it gives them an edge over legal importers

That's an interesting question. A lot of basic research is done in pursuit of creating entirely new markets. Being the first entrant to a new market makes you a monopolist in a way by default. It doesn't necessarily have to be ant

Google is the reason for the current AI boom. Without the transformer architecture they invented by funding basic research, there would be no modern LLMs. YC is arguing that their incentive for funding that basic research should be taken aw

That's why they offer cash bounties. You don't need to charge a fee if there is no bounty (aka an actual good Samaritan situation), cuz then there's no incentive to flood it with slop

In the case you linked, it wasn't infringement for Robin Thicke to be impressed by Marvin Gaye. It was infringement to create a substantial copy. Applying this same legal doctrine to LLMs, it's totally fine for them to train on

I think it's important to keep in mind that this isn't the end of antitrust. The EU has already forced Apple to allow Chrome on iOS. They might force them to support PWAs on a similar level to native apps next. Chromium will be op

Sure, but it matters why Google is funding them. Google funds Mozilla in order to keep them afloat as a foil to detract from antitrust scrutiny. That's only credible if Google does not exert any kind of pressure over them as a cond

I'm talking about cache optimization. Fundamentally, you simply cannot guarantee data locality while also allowing resizing. Growing the child list may necessitate moving it in memory. This is true no matter what your computation model
