I did report this five years ago. And got told that CPython don't consider it a problem. Anything is allowed to raise RecursionError without documentation, in the same way anything is allowed to raise MemoryError. I don't really a

Tangent for breaking Python's JSON parser: This has worked for five years. The docs do not say that parsing an invalid piece will result in a RecursionError. They specify JSONDecodeError and UnicodeDecodeError. (There is a RecursionErr

Google are free to ban me, free to not hand me the data. But if I tell them who I am, what agent I'm using, and then they hand me data... I'm also free to throw half that data in the bin. Especially if I'm protecting myself.

I block ads, everywhere, because I keep getting epilepsy-inducing ones. The browser is my agent, just like my screenreader is. Google is to blame here - and I'm saying that as an author who does advertise there because of marketshare.

I assume that's why copyright in so many places outside the US only allow a company to license it from the creator. Copyright cannot always be surrendered.

Riiight... Which was my point? If you want an AI able to set registers, you want to hook it to a JIT. Which avoids assembly by setting machine code directly into memory and executing said memory.

When that was the first attempt, over a decade ago? No. But as these things don't sit still, a small perusal of any of the above links would give you the information you seek.

A human brain is not a general model. We have multiple overlapping systems. The physical configuration is extremely relevant to that. AGI is defined in terms of "General Intelligence", a theory that general modelling is irrelevant

Only if that was a singular system, however, it is not. [0] For example... The nerve cells in your gut may speak to the brain, and interact with it in complex ways we are only just beginning to understand, but they are separate systems that

Have you bothered to look, yet? It's been in use since 2012. Responding to specifics, when someone is acting out of bad faith, isn't generally a good idea. But fine. > In 294 experiments on Amazon’s Mechanical Turk, we observed

Probably too much snark from me. But the gulf between interpreter and compiler can be decades of work, often discovering new mathematical principles along the way. The idea that you're fine to risk everything, in the way agentic things

As "jit" to you means running code, and not "building and executing machine code", maybe you could vibe code this. And enjoy the segfaults.

That doesn't sound like you've actually read any of the widely adapted and used techniques, employed by everyone from PornHub to Meta, nor does it sound like you're willing to. No one enjoys a conversation with a blank wall.

Human brain's aren't generalist! We have multiple parts of the brain that interact in vastly different ways! Your cerebellum won't be running the role of the pons. Most parts of the brain cannot take over for others. Self-hea

There is some noise, but there are bounds. Everyone tends to have fairly common habits and periods of transition into new habits, that combined with IPs, or geolocation, or screen sizes, that you can fairly accurately pin individual devices

That's called a JIT compiler. And ignoring how bad an idea blending those two... It wouldn't be that difficult a task. The hardest parts of a jit is the safety aspect. And AI already violates most of that.

Driving is not a general problem, though. Its a contextual landscape of fast-based reactions and predictions. Both are required, and done regularly by the human element. The exact nature of every reaction, and every prediction, change vastl

I wouldn't call it a lie. The canvas jitter for each iPhone 15 Pro will be different. Different battery ages, different lifetime workloads. And no manufacturing process currently results in identical CPU performance. That results in di

One of the more effective techniques is measuring the speed at which JS renders to your canvas. That's a sidechannel I don't think can be closed easily. As long as JS exists, there will be effective means to examine the sandbox. (

"Transpile" is a shortening of the older term "trans-compile". [0] It's a subset. All transpilers are compilers. Not all compilers are transpilers. [0] Amiga BASIC called itself a transcompiler, from memory.

In my experience, its harder to review. It'll dump you three classes and a thousand lines of code, where it should use a simple for loop to iterate. The code Claude, Gemini and Cursor produces still is not enough to pass half-decent qu

Firefox got partial support in 2011. All that's missing, today, is support for date and time fields. For most usecases, it'll work. Not so much for meeting scheduling, or calendar management, but everything else.

Sumatra has more security features than most other readers? For example, it doesn't support JavaScript. And it doesn't support GoToE. The text features, both strings and fonts, get sent through HarfBuzz for sanitisation. How is it

A mindless grep. It's probably picking up the massive amount of effort that has gone into link-time garbage collection, and socket inflight garbage, and so many, many others.

So Chrome's just completely sidestepping `.request` being dropped for being too much of a security risk in the context of people being limited in attention, and the web being rife with abuse, then? That's how this whole thing read
