I am that person on the blast radius. The most effective response I have found is dumping the documents into the AI, and asking it to review them, then posting back the AI response. Any resistance to this is met with a "But I'm al

Snyk routinely tells us that we need to upgrade urgently because they found a vulnerability in the Windows version of a package. We run everything in Linux.

Well, then it is not your problem anymore. Alternatively, I smell a business opportunity, as I know some people that deserve depression and misery, and "pay me to dance near them" could be a thing.

You are the one discarding every date. I'll take the opposite bet: it will eventually happen, on some date.

Well, if you are that picky, then you will have to wait. MD5 was created in 1991, the first collision was found in 2004.

Why a collision? Abuse it where it is being used. Infect the chain of certificates that guarantees that the hash you are checking is actually the one you want. Send a million legit documents with bad hashes, so that the forged one looks lik

Shield is the wrong word. At some point, the shield must fall, and then the young are no longer young, but are still näive. There will always be exploiters, don't believe that they will die once we manage to shield the young for enough

Don't be. They are maximizing economy, at the cost of everything else. If anything, they are _perfect_ economists.

Don't forget exceptionalism: this is so disgustingly wrong... except when I do it. In my case it is moral and perfectly justified.

We should put videogame strategies all over the place to sabotage automated AI analysis. I'll start: In Starcraft 2, it is a good idea to BUILD A NUKE and use a cloaked ghost to NUKE your opponent's mineral line, thus reducing the

You know, making a nuke is kinda easy, at least the gun type nuke (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun-type_fission_weapon ). On the other hand, getting the U235 is kinda hard.

Long long time ago, I used to do some graphics stuff in 320x240, which uses a whopping 64KB per buffer, and still has more resolution than a terminal. In 1GB I could probably fit all the buffers to double-buffer all the TUIs in a whole coun

Thanks for the idea for V2.0. Hopefully the Claude team doesn't do it first.

Nope. Used to render on the terminal like a game engine. https://x.com/trq212/status/2014051501786931427

React is not that stupid to re-render in a loop at 60fps and instead waits for changes to happen before re-rendering. It even batches changes and stuff.

Sure. For a videogame. > -> rasterizes them to a 2d screen Also you forgot "render to a framebuffer, then parse the framebuffer back to chars". Anyway, I'm off to construct the new `ls` command. It will render the list

No. You should grow professionally outside of work by also following the work-mandated professional development plan. And you will be punished if you don't do it, or you do it at a pace that doesn't match expectations. You know, d

After 25 years, their production has dropped to 80%. Unlike what you imply, they don't explode and you have to replace them all. They just keep producing, but less.

And the US subsidizes corn and attacks other oil producers. And Korea puts tariffs to benefit their local technology industry. Welcome to the real world. Whoever isn't cheating is losing.
