> Because the flexibility has been a boon and not a problem Well, you could say that the problem in this case was the lack of documentation, if you wanted. The type signature could be part of the documentation, from this point of view. L

Cynical, but maybe not wrong. We are plenty familiar with ignoring technical debt and letting it pile up. Dodgy LLM code seems like more of that. Just like tech debt, there's a time for rushing. And if you're really getting good r

They are exactly the same busses . I've never heard of a school bus with AC in the US. (Please, someone from Arizona correct me.)

> It's all apocrypha at this point There are still people alive who witnessed these events first hand. I don't think first-hand accounts should be labeled apocrypha. But... maybe it means you doubt them? Fair enough.

Can someone post details about why md5sum from the Rust Coreutils is producing different results from GNU Coreutils. The post does not claim this is a bug. (Surprisingly.)

The trifecta: > LLM access to untrusted data, the ability to read valuable secrets and the ability to communicate with the outside world The suggestion is to reduce risk by setting boundaries. Seems like security 101.

Innovation is wonderful, but it’s hard to believe this has enough users to flush out the challenging bugs. Maybe if it had some kind of correctness proof, but it just seems like there are way too many subtle bugs in file systems in general

Blockchain only solves one problem Visa solves: transferring funds. It doesn't solve the other problems that Visa solves. For example, there is no way to get restitution in the case of fraud.

I am pretty sure that the point is that the "normies" are going to be getting their identities stolen in order for others to pass the age verification.

This would be a better comment if it asserted what the poster believed entrepreneurship IS rather than what it is not. FWIW, to me entrepreneurship is an amazing path, but starting a company right out of college?? There’s a LOT of skills to

Kind of looks like it … the supporting evidence includes work from Microsoft: learning how to write concurrent programs. Surely not evidence that Microsoft is testing for concurrency bugs (of course they are).

> get ideology out of academia This reads like someone who needs to take the time to understand the breadth of “ideology”. What will be left when what you consider ideology is gone? As you note, even science has its ideology. What about

I am betting that the author came up with the filtering method in 5 minutes or less and quickly got it working. The 10 paragraph blog post is the “hard” part: explaining to others who don’t have the same base knowledge. If I read it correct

The value of money depends on where you live. In the Bay Area, you could stop working for a year or maybe two with that much money, especially if you didn't care about health insurance. You can call it distortion if you want. I underst

> Life never gets easier with age. HAHAHA. I have so much more "fu" money now, it really takes a lot of pressure off. Something goes wrong? I can solve it with money. Stranded somewhere? Just pay. Friend in trouble? Help out.

The difference is that you have leverage to force the banks to care. There isn't any federal regulation at all covering your Bitcoin.

Which is all cool until Google rug-pulls your influence and you’re back to zero… in which case it doesn’t sound like a tool anymore. Maybe a tool with DRM embedded would be an appropriate analogy?

When the article mentioned “more efficient”, I was expecting some actual measurements. Instead, it seems to just assert that allocating (dense) matrices in a big block is better than the usual array of pointers that you would get in older C

You're ignoring the engineered addiction to the games on phones. Loot boxes, 2 free hours of play with double bonuses, etc. There is no engineered addiction to reading the New York Times, so people just put it down when something else

Nah… Everybody knows npm is a gaping security issue waiting to happen. Repeatedly. It’s convenient, so it’s popular. Many people also don’t vendor their own dependencies, which would slow down the spread at the price of not being instantly
