One hopes not as this stuff would have come up in even a cursory audit of the product - but it’s kinda like Ratings Agencies / Moody’s in 2008 right now until a big breach that occurs post-cert and they lose their credibility.

Would be fascinated to know if this went through competitive procurement or if it was one of those Hegseth “let’s be lethal and ship broken shit to the warfighter” procurements.

I think they're both actually "We want to have this, but we don't want to pay too much for it just so a CEO can make 10,000x their workers and potentially ALSO still lose money."

This seems like circling around the same problem: AI just misses things sometimes and the things it misses can end up being really important. If you don’t cross-check it, you’ll have a bad time. I’ve used a couple of different skills librar

In addition to what folks are saying here about larger code bases and multiple features at once, there’s also the time requirement to be efficient. It takes time to be more efficient with token usage and it may not be worth it for some of t

I feel this as well. I’m using these tools to be extremely productive and drive more customer value than ever in shorter timeframes (code. Shipped code and features end to end). But I’m not sure if that means I’ll be extremely valuable in s

You say that, but don’t you think at this point they actually believe some of the stuff they say about safety and the future of humanity? It’s tough in this day and age not to be overly cynical but they did draw a line in the sand at the Do

> LLMs are breakthrough technologies. The AI products we have today are SaaS products built by companies doing everything they can to find people who will pay for them. Very, very different things. THIS. ALL. DAY.

I don't understand all the negativity in the education space. Ever since I read Diamond Age, the ability to interact with and interrogate works of literature, or science, or the world at large is EXTREMELY powerful for understanding. A

It’s not online age verification. It’s online identity verification. Would you vote for that? Prove who you are to visit this website? Would you do it to access Hacker News? Your newspaper? Didn’t think so.

This argument as framed doesn’t make any sense. Porn is (and WAS) Internet 1.0. There was porn before most everything on the web. Porn is also speech / art. Anonymous access should be available for any website that wants to share their

Do you believe using the Internet should require a license? Isn’t that what covers these product warning labels?

Absolutely agree - I was not impressed, but it will be a lot easier to work with the tooling without a 10 month crash-course on UI and 3D terminology if I can ask for what I want in plain language instead of knowing which button buried thre

There is already a Blender MCP. It works-ish! But could be a lot better in understanding 3D space. As an amateur this is really exciting - but not sure about folks that are real pros at this stuff.

This all works if you assume that any action the government takes must be “lawful”. The assumption here is that the Pentagon is obeying the law and any unlawful use would go through normal reporting / violation channels - same as any i

My point was that it centralizes this to one place instead of 10 for engineers, not that you wouldn’t have to deal with these things at all. A single point of access with a single key for all of these things is a worthwhile convenience.

I wonder how practical this is as one goes further back into history. The idea that you could chat with something with a reference point in the 1700s, 1800s, etc is pretty fascinating and could be an immensely awesome way to interact with h

And handling API tokens, and billing, and reliability, and middleware. I am not affiliated with them but it’s not “just” routing. Apple still charges 30%. 5.5 seems pretty reasonable. /shrug I dunno.

I mean, technically they also re-sell AI tokens. Unsure if that’s with a markup or a discount.

Is weed legal in the UK? Do people still smoke it? This might play right into the hands of bootleggers and gangs but also into the Swedish / American nicotine pouch industry which is basically marketing straight at kids. Also - vapes.

They had these kinds of programs for a long time, but many of the engineers were vilified and the programs disbanded as soon as this administration took office. I'm not sure why someone would sign up to work for a government that has n

How did they make these tapes sound so incredible? I'm getting more fidelity out of these tapes than just about any cassette I've ever listened to - even new in the shrink wrap. Amazing. This is like all of the great shows I could

If they were looking to access government back doors at these providers then it would not be your usual hack - and worth a lot more. I have no idea if this is how an entire domestic surveillance network got strung up, but it would make sens
