Like something that if you look at it too long you won't be able to pull yourself away? Almost as if you were petrified? That's an interesting idea. Someone ought to write an essay.

Allegedly a Straussian meme is "self stabilizing" because it imposes some sort of cost to buying into the lower or higher meaning. So it's a multiple entendre that has ideological or epistemic implications. (I'm not conv

Anecdotally unless I'm doing something really dumb in my Dockerfile (recently I found a recursive `chown` that was taking 20m+ to finish, grr) installing dependencies is longest step of the build. It's also the most failure prone

Rust isn't a one true language, no one necessarily needs to learn it, and I'm sure your preffered language is excellent. C and C++ are critical languages with legitimate advantages and use cases. Don't learn Rust of you aren&

All it takes to make and lose a huge fortune is capital and a high variance strategy. Whether that strategy is informed by legitimate genius is immaterial to the final outcome - you bust badly, exhaust your credit, and are unable to stay in

There are still bucket shops, but they call them "binary options brokers" now. If your broker only makes money when you lose money, they're not a broker, they're a casino.

I've read this book a couple times. I like it, but it's important to understand this is not a book about a stock trader. It's a book about a problem gambler who happens to gamble on the stock market. One of the biggest trade

The same reason we sandbox anything. All software ought to be trustworthy, but in practice is susceptible to malfunction or attack. Agents can malfunction and cause damage, and they consume a lot of untrusted input and are vulnerable to mal

You can use a BPE variant like SentencePiece to identify these patterns rather than hard coding them.

That's a more natural way to consider the resonance, certainly. What I was getting at is that if we were using a 7hz tone to explore a big room, we couldn't tell if there was a chicken in there or not. We'd have a hard time s

I don't see how even an entire chicken is going to meaningfully respond to a wavelength of almost 50 meters. Their coop could though.

File operations are a good candidate for testing with side effects since they ship with every OS and are not very expensive in a tmpfs, but you don't have to let it perform side effects. You could pass the eval function a delegate whic

Is the juice worth the squeeze to introduce two new function colors? What would you do if you needed to call `unreachable!()`? It's a shame that you can't quite do this with a lint, because they can't recurse to check the def

The alternative to storing tokens is to use an AEAD encryption scheme like AES-GCM to protect tokens from forgery or tampering. You will still have to worry about reuse, so you will probably want to restrict use of this token to the user it

Sounds like analysis paralysis. Read posts here, pay attention to what this audience expects, and then post your work. If you really want to find a source on this topic Michael Lynch (mtlynch) wrote a book called Hit the Front Page of Hack

I'm not sure how much you should do to stop people who enabled `--dangerously-skip-permissions` from shooting themselves in the foot. They're literally telling us to let them shoot their foot. Ultimately we have to trust that if w

by maxbond 10mo ago
For what it's worth the author does acknowledge using "yolo mode," which I take to mean `--dangerously-skip-permissions`. So `--dangerously-skip-permissions` is the correct proximal cause. But I agree that it isn't the r

I don't know why you're implying the list is unbounded but this isn't very difficult. You don't have to have perfect foresight and one shot the list. You'll add things as you discover you missed them or as you adopt

If you don't impose some kind of sandboxing, how can you put an upper bound on the level of "pain"? What if the agent leaked a bunch of sensitive information about your biggest customer, and they fired you?

Friends don't let friends use agentic tooling without sandboxing. Take a few hours to setup your environment to sandbox your agentic tools, or expect to eventually suffer a similar incident. It's like driving without a seatbelt. C

I'm not commenting on Instagram, I'm not asking anyone to provide this random stranger with emotional support, and I'm not disputing that the analysis was non technical.

I didn't downplay it, I just wasn't talking about that at all. The video I was talking about didn't make that claim, and I wasn't responding to the comment which did. I don't see any evidence for that claim though.

It's a different diagnosis, but the problem is still, "you transformed my content in a way that changes my appearance and undermines my credibility." The distinction is worth discussing but the people levying the criticism ar
