Agreed that many of the articles claims are a bit weak. One point is reasonably strong though: symmetric crypto may not be breakable (battle tested).

Perhaps, but it’s still trivially easy to increase the difficulty of factorization problems on classical computers, We need a machine that can run Shor’s algorithm before integer factorization is practical and we’re still a long way out f

Code quality at one point in time is useful, but what you want is dependability over time and responsiveness to security fixes; this means looking at the maintainer and their attention to detail. Sure, the website by itself doesn’t mean any

Don’t good generals know how everyone else in their army does their jobs? At the very least to the extent they can see through the bullshit. For example, I don’t handwrite the code that the compiler produces, but I know how to troubleshoot

A lot of the vulnerabilities being discovered are low hanging fruit. An LLM could discover them, but so could a human. Let me amend your statement: If the industry most seasoned experts are not engaging in regular security reviews of their

> I'm not going to pretend I know how to do Github better than Github To be fair, there are lots of forges that are better than GitHub; knowing how to GitHub better than GitHub is an extremely low bar.

Legal ambiguity tends to have a chilling effect. Although I think this is overshadowed by hype at the moment.

Let me put it this way. How does the model know what it finds confusing? I’m sure it works great fwiw, also the use of a hot cache is clever.

That’s not the use case of the tailscale daemon though, which was using getent passwd. To clarify: I’m not against CGO, just introducing a glibc dependency by default. I would only introduce it when I needed it.

Theory. I guess my question is: why do you think it works so well. What’s the mechanism behind it? It feels like it would be relatively random across the range of plausible results, but it sounds like you are finding otherwise.

You won’t get grounded results by asking for feedback. The LLM doesn’t know its own internal state so while you may get a plausible and contextually significant answer, it isn’t going to be an accurate one.

Others have pointed out that os/user.Lookup is a platform-independent way to resolve this, but additionally you don’t _need_ to link against glibc to use it. If you are writing go, you usually want to set CGO_ENABLED=0 by default, to a

“--“ doesn’t work on all versions of getent. A better fix is to call “getent passwd” with no user controlled arguments and then parse the resulting list. This gets rid of the input sanitization problem entirely.

Looks like a strategy for storing a secret across multiple servers such that no single node compromise will result in the secret being compromised. My read is that this adds network topology as an input to what is normally just M out of N s

Hmm this is a problem that has long been solved with code completion in a JSON language server and a valid JSON schema. By this I mean that you can basically tab-complete your way into a valid JSON document matching a particular schema. May

The justification in TFA smell like premature optimization. A nominal bottleneck is just that-nominal. It’s a good thing to keep in your back pocket but you generally don’t want to expend extra effort optimizing something until you have to.

Maybe there were other factors? Maybe they were leaning towards leaving anyway and this influx of cash enabled them to do so? It’s a stupid idea, for sure, but I think the explanation that “people do weird things when faced with a lot of mo

What is it about json that models struggle with, in your experience? Is it syntax or structure?

You violated the first rule of graphing: label your axes.

a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is perhaps a poor example, since there are several visual proofs that don’t rely on language. I don’t think this negates your overall point fwiw.
