Yikes. The first page of their comments go back 7 months. I don't agree that reaches the OPs bar for an 'explosion', but you do you.

A slingshot is a MANPADS. It's not a very good one, but it's portable, and an air defense system. The Fliegerfaust was a manpads, and it just yeeted a few tubes into the air.

It absolutely does. So many youtube projects do! Autonomous drones? Sorry, that's a guidance system. (Edit: ^f 'itar' brought me straight here)

Because these are silly personal scripts. I'm not going to make sensible architectural decisions on something I run every now and then on my laptop. That's optimising too early.

Thanks, I'll look into this in the future. I don't need the most performant script, but this could change.

Thanks. There's a special place in my heart for any blog that opens with 'Prior Work' :)

Dope. I've just started using Pandas in some personal projects, and am quickly hitting my knowledge ceiling. I think this will be useful. I'll check it out properly after work.

iOS is light years ahead of anything any government IT project has ever, and in my opinion can ever, deliver. They’re not even in the same league. I hope you can see why that's a nonsensical statement. Palantir is a private intelligenc

This is fantastic. From a password brute force perspective, threat actors have been localizing their password files for a while now, so I presume it learned from that. Now I want to see if, by prompting Claude to open a zip file, I can get

Some games company's have been - Motion Twin for example. I'm sure they exist in Tech too, but that's just a feeling.

But she wasn't a fugitive. She was wrongly identified.

Yes. Appealing to authority ("The AI said it was her!") is absolutely a problem. I'm not dismissing the rest of what you are saying, but I don't think you should dismiss appeals to authority being a factor, either.

The concept of pre-trial detention is nuts to me. In Ireland, sensibly, you can not set bail that is insurmountable to the defendant.

I like it for buckets, but adding a four digit code won't help with the package hijacking side of things - in fact might just introduce more typo/hijack potential. It'll just be four more characters for people to typo.

I don't see how that matters to ops comment, "Just in time for an energy crisis", implying a shift to oil from coal.

For those following along at home, it appears enir is (edit: as well as using EU wide data, not Irish data..) including non-electricity generation, or non-grid, energy use. Grid stats available here https://www.seai.ie/data-

Got it, thanks. So, not for grid electricity, as in this discussion.

The actual quantity of people burning turf for home heat is tiny, though.

I'm not sure where that data comes from. Oil was only around 3% in 2024. https://www.seai.ie/data-and-insights/seai-statistics/electr...

I think the domestic heating use is a drop in the bucket compared to commercial extraction of peat for export, or historical use for electricity generation. I've only so many shits to give, and people heating their homes doesn't r

I don't think turf (peat) has been burned for energy generation since 2023.

Security has had pattern matching in traditional static analysis for a while. It wasn't great. I've personally used two AI-first static analysis security tools and found great results, including interesting business logic issues,

Can you expand on how people failing interviews is filling the role you're hiring for?

I often ask my friend Alan to review what I've created, so I can tell people it has been enhanced with Al.

That doesn't seem like the kind of mistake an LLM would make. It bangs of a simple mistake to me. (Yesterday, I submitted an article that read Axios in the title, the news organisation, rather than Axiom, the cryptocurrency exchange th
