Nah, this has way more to do with karma points than with "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity". I've seen submissions by original authors not trending, but then someone with enough karma points booming t

Amazing how an article from Wikipedia easily trends on HN for no good reason, while many posts go unseen under the [new] tab.

Choosing to do an app is quite often less about the capabilities (of an app on the phone, versus a website in a mobile browser) and more about discoverability and market reach. App Stores serve a "store window" purpose, where it i

This is how tickets for sports and concerts should always be sold. Entertainment tends to compare with airline tickets, except that with air travel, there are regular flights and competition. There is no such thing as a single flight from P

If you get caught with illegal guns and illegal chemicals, well... there are consequences. Bad actors will always find a way, at the risk of getting caught. However, the vast majority of people will rely on commercial AI models.

Go to a store that sells fly fishing equipment and talk to a customer or a staff. You may as well end up with a new friend.

Sonatype allows "io.github.<username>" as a valid groupId and has a process to verify ownership. I am sure other providers like GitLab can work on this.

That is another important layer. Maven Central is not immune to credential theft. If a publisher token is stolen, an attacker may still be able to publish a malicious new version until the token is revoked or the account is suspended after

It is 100% up to the package manager's steward to control how ownership of packages and namespaces are granted. Maven Central exists for decades the amount of incidents of people stealing namespaces is minimal. One can't simply pu

Indeed, the fact that maintainers didn't have until only recently the control for disabling Pull Requests tab in a GitHub repo, is what drove a lot of issues in FOSS collaboration over the past decade. FOSS and open source licenses nev

AI not finding a security issue on cURL has more to do with lack of widespread security issues than the model's capacity of finding them.

I wonder if a model that does not know anything about a hypothetical programming language X, could write code once given said language X specification, APIs, and SDK tools and their documentation. Meaning: the model has no idea, no access t

by brunoborges 5mo ago
Before AI, shipping code to production used to be a two-person task: one writes the code, another one reviews the code. Now with AI writing the code, the developer that was supposed to write the code, only has to review it. And this is beca
