I can always tell when someone uses an LLM to write and never gave the LLM proper context on how to write (i.e., writing samples, skills files specific to writing, etc). These are also the people who tend to complain about AI's writi

> But honestly if you’re the one proposing a “simple solution” maybe do some research yourself. It's an off the cuff idea on a nerd forum. Relax buddy.

It's a simple multiplier number and you can set a cap on it (and payout amounts). Where's the fire?

It doesn't have to. Just put a cap and say "we officially recognize 1-10" and be done with it.

They should just multiply a base rate against the severity level. Say the base rate is ranged so low-severity stuff is $500-1K base but high-severity stuff is $10K base. That would net a researcher ~$88K for this specific bug (8.8 severity)

I read a news report on the study that was linked, yes. But my issue isn't with the researchers/their process, it's with how this is presented in the headline vs. what the actual reason was backing the claim. There's not

Yep. I don't know why this is so hard for teams to understand: if the part your customers pay you to interact with (the UI/UX) doesn't fucking work , your customers are going to leave. We need to kill this two-party-system-b

All things pass. The question is what the fallout will look like for everyone who doesn't have their hand in the cookie jar.

Putting in blockers and the like helps, but what I've found worked best was to consider this quote by Anthony DeMello: "When you fight something, you're tied to it forever. As long as you're fighting it, you’re giving it

They're making the smartest possible move: let others burn insane amounts of capital and time finding the quirks and once they see a viable lane, execute. It's old Steve Jobs logic. Works backwards from the customer experience to

The inspector is a nightmare if you're doing web dev (imo; it always felt clunky). If they replaced that with a Chromium-style inspector, I'd probably jump over.

I can't quite put my finger on it but this rush to astroturf Omarchy just has bad vibes all around. DHH has been on a politician-level campaign to fund/promote what seems like a fun nerd project. Call me paranoid but it all just c

"There's a sucker born every minute" is a saying for a reason. It's a damn shame, but these things exist and happen because they work to a non-trivial degree. There are two forms of capitalism: in service to your fellow

Can we please stop pretending any facet of this system works? Calling current day America a real democracy is like calling Kim Kardashian's ass real.

This level of scale is extreme but it can be handled with proper time investment and careful engineering. But that doesn't fit into the "spend gobs of money as fast as possible so you can be a hypothetical feudal lord in a sci-fi
