You should read the article, it explains very well why that is completely wrong. cLIs don’t have a good story about security, are you serious?? They either use a secret , in which case the LLM will have the exact same permission as you as a

They did the right thing in hindsight: leave security open until clear patterns emerge, then solidify those patterns into a spec. The spec is still in draft and currently, they are trying to find a simpler solution for client registration t

But mistakes like that are what makes it human! I really don't know anymore that we can have certainty about things being AI or human.

I must be immune to that since I thought the post was very nice and didn't realize any of those things. Do they really make the post less good though?

In Pony, handling messages is done via behaviors, which look like a normal method - the only difference is that it cannot return anything and that it runs asynchronously. Hence, the example in the post cannot occur since you cannot really w

Some other comments mention BankID private keys . That would be the biggest disaster as that’s what everyone uses to identify themselves “securely” on all government services.

You got it completely backwards. The claim is that if the code does exactly what the spec says (which generated tests are supposed to "prove") then the actual code does not matter, even if it's different each time.

For one thing, it cannot leak secrets between services.

I don’t know if you’re serious but a Java Swing all that’s simple should not consume more than 8 Mb, let alone GB!

You can run Coalton on Common Lisp. It has a type system similar to Haskell’s. And interops very well with pure Common Lisp. It also modernizes function and type names in the process so it makes Lisp more familiar to modern developers. I tr

LLMs work better as translators than any non-AI translators though. Because they are able to translate not just words, but also capture the context of what's being said. If you translate a common phrase like "home, sweet home&quot

Hm I agree completely. Even as someone who appreciates SLIME and emacs. IntelliJ and even VS Code are excellent, even if heavy. Just use it on a beefy laptop and it won’t feel slow and bloated at all. If you find it distracting, it’s becaus

Crystal is a typed Ruby. The closer to Go language would probably be Odin.

Yes. Older people do not become less inquisitive and eager to learn, they just become less open to hype as they've seen whatever younger folks think is the new hot idea several times before, just in different shapes and sizes. However,

I don't get the feeling this will happen. LLMs are extremely good at learning new languages because that's basically their whole point. If your new language has a standard library, and the LLM can see its source code, I am sure yo

News used to be mostly neutral delivery of facts that occurred recently. It was not supposed to be following a narrative or whatever. But that is boring for many people and the American media found out they could make news much more interes

Galileo lived in the 16th century. Late antiquity ends around the end of the Western Roman Empire I think, which was before 500AD!?

I don't know what the proposal for doing this in the US looks like, but the alternative I mentioned with Verifiable Presentations being used was designed to strictly prevent tracking, hence it's useless for mass surveillance. I wo

I've been by far the fastest engineer everywhere I've worked. I've produced 1000s of lines of code in a single day when I was really into it. I have nearly 500 Github repositories and almost all of them is a real open source

> I can only truly do that if I write it myself. That's where you're wrong. AI can debug code better than humans. I put it on a task that I'd spent months on: debugging a distributed application which had random errors whi

What an ageist quote. I am in my 40s and never stopped coding even as I've become the principal engineer. Claude just frees me from the mundane tasks I'd done a million times before and never wanted to do again if possible, which

As someone who leads a team of engineers, telling someone their code is slow is not nice, helpful or something a good team member should do. It’s like telling them there’s a bug and not explaining what the bug is. Code can be slow for infin

Great answer, and the reason some people have bad experiences is actually patently clear: they don’t work with the AI as a partner, but as a slave. But even for them, AI is getting better at automatically entering planning mode, asking for

Yes and both are right. It’s a matter of which is working as expected and making fewer mistakes more often. And as someone using Claude Code heavily now, I would say we’re already at a point where AI wins.

I wrote code by hand for 20 years. Now I use AI for nearly all code. I just can’t compete in speed and thoroughness. As the post says, you must guide the AI still. But if you think you can continue working without AI in a competitive indust

If that’s true, I think the law is fine. There are good solutions for anonymous disclosure of information about you, the most mature being Verifiable Credentials, which is an open standard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki&#x2F

I like Linux and had Linux laptops before, but can’t comprehend why anyone would go as far as replacing MacOS on an Apple laptop. The OS is just fine, there is nothing superior about Linux Desktop environments. And you can easily run Docker
