It's good to have options. I guess this is similar effort as Swift's java interop - created to enable internal Apple needs and a cool feature to share on socials for engagement. I don't think any of this would attract people

I understand the technology of course. In fact, it's clear ATProto is an instantiation of data spaces, a tech developed in the EU for industry purposes. However, while in industry there is pre-existing need for interoperable "data

That's great, but also Mastodon is just there and has been for quite some time. I see no added value in Bluesky/ATProto beyond the layer of that "social as a service" which looks like a walled garden / app store of

Oh wow, Cloudflare enschitification is practically in real time right now.

My way of preventing agents from accessing my .env files is not to use agents anywhere near files with secrets. Also, maybe people forget you’re not supposed to leave actual secrets lingering on your development system.

My “intro to gleam” was a lustre form for my blog, where people could submit feedback. So I was able to create a neatly separated client module in Gleam and compile it to JavaScript so I can insert it in my static blog page. The server part

Sounds like you’re a good little product… abundant potential for shareholder value to be extracted from you and others like you. A trip to the library or a consult with a professional would’ve given you the same or better results.

Everyone knows that what models do to obtain training data is not legal. We just need a very old system about copyright to catch up already so we can ban the practice.

But that would only hide the problem, doesn’t resolve the fact that models, in fact, violate copyright

Yup, French fries are Belgian. Also - it's important to cook them twice, otherwise it's just McDonalds and not real French fries.

The usage of the word "reasoning" in the context of LLMs, just like the "I" in "AI", that's more marketing than a technical reality. I know it can be confusing.

Every prompt is a run of probability - It’s at the core of the technology to be unable to give reproducible responses and even after a while, Claude is just as likely to sneak-in crimes in every snippet it outputs.

I also don’t use AI for coding. I tried, I explored, I learned how it works. At the end, “maybe-sometimes works” and “sends a copy of all your code to some server in the US” are just incompatible with the kind of software I create. Regardin

Maybe they’re trying to firefight but I just tested it and there was no moderation constraint. IMO this also doesn’t address the horrible content people post there. It’s a clear violation of the App Store rules

I remember when dating apps had to take it upon themselves to never show explicit photos (even privately shared in DMs) or get removed from the store. That too is user generated content, right? As for X, all one has to do is stumble on the
