this is reductionist to the point of absurdism. It can be true that using cloud storage, using managed services, and paying a premium is still worth it for a lot of people and organizations, and while not perfect, still a hell of a lot bett

You'd be shocked at some of the punishments handed out from various empires over history for offences as minor as stealing an apple. Whether they can claim the moral high ground is not question of ethics but a question of power.

Astra is incredibly dumb and annoying to work with on "high" reasoning, for doing fairly well known distributed systems things, nothing majorly exotic, it still makes absolutely braindead decisions like deciding to re-use a random

appreciate the input from someone who works in the codebase, but ok maybe tmux is openbsd secure, but it still has quirks and combined with agent harnesses not understanding them its a large attack surface Imo, what may be in inconsequentia

that just furthers my point, i was vaguely aware that it wasn't a full proof, but I'm not a mathathician, and that detail just re-enforces my point we are proving against human made axiom (certainty of numbers) which are almost ce

Who cares. the biggest thing about this is that its still brute force in a verifiable domain, and that it was still a human set goal. I also don't believe it much practical use, unless I'm mistaken, approximations of Navier stokes

as I mentioned in another sibling, its because it's a very common denominator in high value targets. I didn't know its legacy was from OpenBSD but I really doubt that that helps it much in this scenario, when I say LPE I'm no

the point is tmux is being used by many developers working in high value targets to automate long running unsupervised agent tasks. you don't need the user to execute code, you need _their agent_ to stumble on the wrong search result o

Whatever about the specifics of this bug and whether its a useful vector, this is not surprising even in the slightest? My current opinion on LLMs is that they are superhuman in that they lack fatigue, they have close to full knowledge acro

this is a willful misreading of the dictionary. you are pointing to habit being used colloquially as a short hand for addiction , which of course it is, as demonstrated through this thread, and is plainly obviously used that way to anyone w

it absolutely is a habit, the fact that it affects you physiologically via pharma does not make it not a habit. a habit is something you do habitually, that is the exact definition of the word, and the reasons people do them vary wildly. I

The mental model of how the law works that most people have is wrong. The law does not, by default, prosecute all crimes. There is no country in the world that has even close to the law enforcement capacity to investigate and prosecute all
