"AI people" in the comment was not referring to end users.

In the old days we just call that arbitrary code execution. And these AI people just act as if that's never a problem.

So that's shifting the responsibility to users. And likely many users tools don't understand what those words mean. All these companies/projects break decades of our security practice and sell you AI browser, AI agent for...

We'll all have a good laugh when looking back at this in a few years.

This. As soon as you need to use the type in another function (e.g. function parameter), you'll discover that it's better to just write it out.

Even though that works reasonably well, you may still want to explicitly define your types/interfaces. In this example, if I do need to hardcode the data instead of fetching it somewhere, I would define the interface with "state&q

Sounds like a language not to waste my time on. I should spend my time writing actual code and ship stuff, not debugging or finding holes in someone else's product.

"The compiler is unable to type-check this expression in reasonable time; try breaking up the expression into distinct sub-expressions" doesn't feel convenient to me.

As someone who has many times dived into deep rabbit holes like this (e.g. how does JavaScript's prototype-based class work?), some effective ways to handle this is to ask follow up questions, use web search or ask for references. Deep

> attackers can mask their malicious activity by hijacking these IP addresses. Sounds like "malicious activity" == "scraping activities that don't come from Google"

> OpenAI bet largely on consumer Source on that? Lots of organizations offer ChatGPT subscriptions, and Microsoft pushes Copilot as hard as it can which uses GPT models.

This doesn't make any sense. In any organization with a remotely capable IT, you'll still need to log in with your own account. If you give someone else your password to log in... there is a bigger problem.

> If all companies fire 50% of their engineers, how will anybody find similar new jobs? Why would CEOs care? Or put it another way, if you were a CEO, would you care? Politicians at least would pretend to care.

Obligatory mention of David J. Agans's "Debugging: The 9 Indispensable Rules for Finding Even the Most Elusive Software and Hardware Problems" where you can find dozens of such stories, including why their computer crashes wh

I was excited about this for a second until seeing your comment. Unless you are Amazon which has the resources to maintain a fork (which is questionable by itself with all the layoffs), you probably shouldn't touch this.

Elasticsearch was license under Apache 2.0 until they switched. That says enough.

It does work like that. For me personally, I have used this method to spend my Apple gift cards purchased on a discount. Effectively I got a Claude subscription at 15% off. (You could argue this only works because OpenAI/Anthropic char

> Amazon is fundamentally a logistics + robotics company and is one of the worst companies to join for 'stability' as they have razor-thin margins. You seem to forget that AWS exists.

30% of profit from stock sales initiated on Apple hardware should automatically go to Apple. Because why not. It's a digital sale, there is no physical goods changing hands. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. /s

So you don't have a reference. I'm just going to ignore this.

I don't think nobody has solved the problem of mobile/desktop split so far. Microsoft's Surface Pro line barely made any difference -- nobody buys it to use it as a tablet, and generally the touch experience is just bad if yo

That ship sailed many years ago with Windows 11, and Windows 10 to some extent. By the way, you forgot Android itself.

I don't know Ruby, but chances are that your Python/JavaScript scripts are going to run in 5 years as well, if you stick to standard library.

It doesn't make sense for that device alone, but the vendor probably supplies all the different equipment in the gym. Using a tablet simplifies their supply chain, deployment, debugging/repair, app update process and simply suppor
