I can't remember a time in which Atlassian was trusted.

It's been over a year and the trifecta holds true. The term 'prompt injection' has been round since May 2022 [0]. No amount of "but the future will fix it" has fixed it. These breaches will continue for as long as n

This discussion again. We've been having it for 6 years now and Tailwind remains popular. Lindy's Law tells us it will remain popular for a while longer. Many people are productive in it, others hate it. Carry on.

Neat. The correct examples are refreshing to read. Claudeisms are grating in ways that make me want to switch provider.

In a similar vein, who gets to claim Nicola Tesla? Europe used to be much more of a mess than today's neatly drawn nation states, retroactively assigning origin is a silly endeavour.

Offensively dull. One shudders to think about the endless bickering that went in to this. May I propose 6 shades of off-white adorned with geometric shapes. €5 gets dots, €10 lines, €20 triangles and so on. €100 may have pentagrams instead

Your point about avoiding conscription and using contract troops (mercenaries) or undesirables is supported by War on the Rocks' reporting. And who knows, maybe setting the periphery of St Petersburg and Moscow on fire made the war ver

Indeed. And bringing the attacks deep in to Russia may embarrass the regime and may have led Putin to (allegedly) stage a frontline visit [0]. And yet we must never forget that there is no such thing as a wunder waffe and reducing German ci

This is all good news, but one must remember that airpower alone does not win wars. > Overall then, the promise of strategic airpower, that it could win wars entirely or primarily from the skies, turns out so far to have been largely a m

You got it all wrong. You see, AGI (conveniently ignore the definition for now) might be able to replace everybody. In truth it will be uses by the C level to subjugate everybody else.

We are closer to the Cleopatra than she was to the construction of the great pyramids. Some of those tombs are unfathomably old and anyone who cares has turned to dust a dozen times over. Unless you believe as they did, I don't see a p

It gets better. Kagi search summary likes "people also say..." and then refers to a random LLM reddit thread.

Circumstantial plus expecting the worst. A company and founder with such an extensive list of publicly known misdeeds (starting with Facesmash), chances are that there are many skeletons left to uncover. Setting a precedent is no unknown co

It has been [0] days since the last report on nasty Meta shenanigans. On a related note, I believe (based on no evidence) that Zuckerberg knows of a lot more nasty dealings and wants to crucify Wynn-Williams to scare off any potential whist

Shame. There is something thoughtful in the post, I am sure, but I am so tired of reading Claude that I couldn't get myself to engage. One could hope that the author is making a meta-point.

I have no idea what you're on about. I said "regulate the proverbial crack" and gave two concrete examples of things going wrong. At no point did I hint at "stop people from conversing freely".

Social media, as we have it today, is not healthy for anybody. It is bad, truly bad, and the companies responsible know it. You can't lace beer with crack and sell it. Not to a 12yo, not to a 50yo. Regulate the proverbial crack, then w

I do not understand this type of objection. What is the point of shooting down a reasonable recommendation (in this case exercise and having fun doing so) with a handwavy moral plight such as yours? It truly is a bizarre spin on whataboutis

I have used and mostly like Shadcn, and yet their Radix-based radio button was a bit much, as are other choices, where similarly overblown solutions were used. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46688971
