My thoughts exactly. By this logic both are fragile because they run over lossy wireless networks. The composability of TLS/HTTP is really a beautiful thing.

Funnily, this was precisely the question I had after posting this (and the topic of an LLM disagreement discussed in another thread). Turns out not, but sibling comment is another confounding factor.

Again a model issue. At the risk of coming off as a thread-wide apologist, here are my results on Opus: Good: > The research is generally positive but it’s not unconditionally “good for you” — the framing matters. > What the evidence

Sure LLMs make mistakes, but have you looked at the accuracy of the average top search results recently? The SERPs are packed with SEO-infested articles that are all written by LLMs anyway (and almost universally worse ones than you could u

This is an oft-repeated meme, but I’m convinced the people saying it are either blindly repeating it, using bad models/system prompts, or some other issue. Claude Opus will absolutely push back if you disagree. I routinely push back on

True. I’d be curious whether a combination of matching comp/training cutoff and censoring web searches could yield a more precise evaluation.

It should be noted that MaxSAT 2024 did not include z3, as with many competitions. It’s possible (I’d argue likely) that the agent picked up on techniques from Z3 or some other non-competing solver, rather than actually discovering some nov

Used Claude through copilot for so long before switching to CC. Even for the same model the difference is shocking. Copilot’s harness and the underlying Claude models are not well-matched compared to the vertically-integrated Claude Code ha

This was the example that really drove home all the other points for me. Not only is Valetudo opinionated software, but you'll be accused of having "fictional budget concerns" for wanting a very reasonable feature. I occasion

I found the “Why Not Valetudo” page on that site extremely persuasive. I would consider myself technically inclined. I also own a robot vacuum so I can spend more time doing important things that leverage my skills. Valetudo does not serve

Really great analysis. Always cool to see the divide between PKI in theory and practice. It does make me wonder if the zealous pursuit of shorter expirations has gone too far, especially up at the root. Is there good public discussion on ro

It's even worse: based on "orange iPhone" they just bought an iPhone 17. So they'll skip the next two iPhones and be back in 2028? Sounds like a standard upgrade cycle.

I (perhaps naively) still believe that communities can successfully curate human writing. While there's lots of AI slop that gets posted on HN, for instance, the amount of thoughtful human content seems well above the base rate.

This (as previously posted) is one of my few Favorite posts on HN. Half because of how awesome it is, and half because I can never remember what it’s called.

CAIDA is doubtless a gold standard. One thing to note, however, is that the same vantage point avoidance issue applies even more to publicly-documented vantage points. In fact, it was concerns specifically about adversarial avoidance of aca

Surprisingly measuring legitimate Telnet usage may be even harder than measuring attacks! Getting representative metrics of benign src-dst endpoint pairs while controlling neither approaches impossibility, especially since at global scale

We cannot know for certain what the root cause is. However, honeypot fingerprinting is a well-known risk for any vantage point, particularly a high-profile one.

This is a very challenging problem, especially if you don’t want to be over-concentrated on specific threat actors (as we suspect has happened here).

This has been my experience too. That insane race condition inside the language runtime that is completely inscrutable? Claude one-shots it. Ask it to work on that same logic to add features and it will happily introduce race conditions tha

Rclone is a fantastic tool, but my favorite part of it is actually the underyling FS library. I've started baking Rclone FS into internal Go tooling and now everything transparently supports reading/writing to either local or remo

Some real cognitive dissonance in this article… “The PDF Association operates under a strict principle—any new feature must work seamlessly with existing readers” followed by introducing compression as a breaking change in the same paragrap
