Not to mention - it is American. This is the first competitive non-Chinese open weights model since what, Llama 3?

It isn't meant to sell like hot cakes. Work Louder is the keyboard equivalent of Teenage Engineering. They make expensive toys for silicon valley engineers.

This is a rebranded/reskinned WORK LOUDER Creator Micro 2 btw ( https://worklouder.cc/creator-micro-2 ). Great device if you're into expensive tech toys (a la Teenage Engineering), but if you were waiting for a big

And VS Code was released in 2015.

IDEs do syntax highlighting, typechecking, linting, automatic git refreshes. All of this happens in the background without you executing any code. If you open a Typescript project in VS Code and it automatically shows you a list of errors w

The entire point of Cursor is to run autonomous coding agents. You are giving it a random untrusted repo, saying "hey it might have a virus, go crazy" and then getting mad that it caused harm? Check (and double check and triple ch

Clone a repo and run "npm install" and the exact same thing will happen. You can say "oh I would never run npm install on a repo I don't trust"...but then why are you cloning it and opening it in an IDE in the first

How is it different from downloading and running the application itself from that website?

This is exactly why every AI agent should run in a sandbox.

That is a very recent addition. The exact behavior they are describing was in VS Code for almost a decade.

Seeing the individual change in the context of the larger feature is actually more helpful. Otherwise you find a tiny commit that changes A to B and then have to chase down 13 other commits around it to figure out why that change was even m

I don't get all the effort people spend in perfectly curating git history. No one is ever going back and reading individual commits. Just squash everything before merging and call it a day.

What do you think an engineer does?

If fable can solve the customer’s needs then why is the PM needed at all?

The funny thing is I’ve worked at/worked with a ton of big tech companies (including FAANGs) where the most tenured people on some teams are external consultants.

If you hear a pitch from McKinsey about being a consultant it will also sound like the coolest job in the world.

I remember interviewing at Palantir back when they were making this role popular (probably a decade ago). I wanted to be an SDE and the recruiter kept pushing me towards this “forward deployed engineer” role. After hearing the pitch I went…

That strategy only makes sense if there's an abundance of tokens, but that's not the case. AI companies are spending a ton of resources on improving token efficiency because they are all severely GPU constrained. Anthropic instead

File transfer isn't an OS level problem. There are already a million utilities that let you get a file from computer A to computer B if they are reachable over IP. Connecting the computers in a secure way is the hard part, hence the ne

Lol Daily Mail. Conveniently left out the part where the FBI said this is a routine process and there is no foul play suspected.

by paxys 4mo ago
You're making the opposite argument. Anthropic is incentivized to use less tokens in Claude Code because people are paying a fixed monthly fee for subscriptions.

Reminder that Apple hired 30+ engineers from Masimo and stole multiple trade secrets, including their blood-oxygen monitoring tech, leading to a $634 million judgement against them. They also asked President Biden to intervene and pressure

In the extreme case it may result in OpenAI having to abandon their in-progress consumer hardware products, but honestly that might actually be good for them. I really can't see all that investment being worthwhile. Better for them to

There's really no way to prevent an employee from taking a piece of paper or a digital file from one place to another. The most you can prevent is accidental transfer. If they are malicious they will find a way no matter what guardrail

Okay but why assume the latter part? In this case the perps were clearly caught.

The companies are based in California, so regular non-competes are irrelevant. This is solely about IP theft.
417.
by paxys 4mo ago
Um, no. Why would it be their responsibility? There are laws regarding IP theft. If you willingly break them you can't just say "well your security wasn't good enough".

Intelligence is domain-specific. People who have put too many skill points in technical knowledge often have none left for common sense and street-smarts.

Yes? AI generated text is explicitly disallowed on HN, so it’s not crazy to expect that a similar standard be used for linked content.
