Yes, it is the old "skill issue" argument. When your language is that unsafe and difficult to hold correctly, you have to make sure that you at least try your very best.

this is the defensive and correct C++ approach, anyways.

I don't think the syntax has to be simple, it just needs to be expressive

It isnt about the product, it's about the journey. If you choose not to learn how to do basic math because the calculator can do it for you, you are missing out on huge swaths of understanding of math.

This is a common issue in the Rust world, I think, but I wanted to point it out; I was looking forward to seeing someone build a little minimal JIT for this. Instead the author uses Cranelift[1] and binja to solve the two interesting proble

It's not an AI tool. It's an LSP. It is the expert in the room, because it's not a random word generator, not smart, it just follows the rules that the language has.

Check the links I posted :) Some do think that, yes.

You mean the safety and alignment that boils down to telling the AI to "please not do anything bad REALLY PLEASE DONT"? lol working great is it

That's an edge case, this case is ChatGPT working as intended .

So far the accepted approach is to wrap all prompts in a security prompt that essentially says "please don't do anything bad". > Prompt guardrails to prevent jailbreak attempts and ensure safe user interactions without wri

I feel like somehow that would lessen it, but not really help much? There are obviously people with too much money in BTC who are trying to take any gamble to increase its value. It sounds like a deeper societal issue.

A cheap quip would be "it's vibe-coded", but that might actually very well be the case at this point!

Not to victim-shame or anything, but that sounds more like more than one safety mechanism failed, the convincing tech only being a rather small part of it?

This was a very fun read. Any other recommendations similar to this?

I recently tried vibe-coding a pretty simple program. All I can say is that I'm horrified at people doing this. Not only did it produce extremely inadequate solutions (not for a lack of trying), but also these solutions were BARELY

The issue is really that the comments' semantics aren't validated. That might be an AI startup idea; going through a codebase and linting comments.

Nobody is forcing anyone to share their knowledge. What then? Dead internet.

Maybe overloadable operators like in C++, where -> usually demotes some kind of deeper access into the object or abstraction? Or, the opposite, and abstracted access.

If your LLM is the only one that can reasonably maintain your software, you essentially created a new kind of lock-in, similar to what we already solved with open source a long, long time ago. Once your LLM gets too expensive, goes out of b

The second I get hit with bot traffic that makes my server heat up, I would just slam some aggressive anti bot stuff infront. Then you, my friend, are getting nothing with your fancy AI agent.

It just won't happen.

It does, you can use various parameters to go through the history of a line of code. And, usually, you only care about why it is the way it is.

Wow, some people really don't know what to give a shit about, do they? It must be endlessly exhausting to go around looking for any reason to boycott everything, instead of using these fantastic tools to make things that make the world

I really like putting context into commits, not into code comments. The reasoning is pretty simple: Comments aren't checked. I might write "This is done this way because John Doe suggested it, it's much more efficient this wa

It doesn't recognize. It tells you what you wanna hear. I don't understand how this isn't brutally clear to everyone at this point.

CC-BY-SA 4.0 is an interesting choice. I know this isn't a ShowHN, but was this chosen because it's copyleft, but hardware?

The wildlife (like hedgehogs) will feel very audited when they get sliced up by a razorblade, run over, and can barely drag themselves off your lawn to bleed out throughout hours of pain. If they don't bleed out, they often end up muti

Is it allowed to modify the signature someone puts digitally on a document? Because that's what this does. Is that not an issue?

Age verification doesn't protect minors, so I doubt their ethos changed.
