Came here to say this, I saw the initial video and thought they used ligatures, and then I was surprised the actual post was much more complicated.

The point is proving that "chickens now, maybe humans later" is just an extremely poor predictor. It's a useless disapproval of a new technology based on "hey, you can't prove it won't happen!".

Then that's a cartel and hopefully regulators will act.

That's exactly what a bot would say!

I have Opus make a fairly detailed plan, then Deepseek implements, and GPT reviews. With that setup, I have zero issues, probably because what you mention is handled (the plan keeps it on track and the reviewer catches any issues). Now that

And they were all about as right as chance!

But making tools tinkerable is incompatible with extracting maximal value from them!

Yeah. Imagine how much you can make on live velociraptors.

Right, but saying "this policy change is disgraceful" and saying "you, customer support person, are an insufferable dickhead" are very different things. From what I can see in the link comments, people seem to be saying

How can you have cache hit efficiency? Isn't it just a matter of not changing the previous context? I don't understand what knobs there are to tweak on this.

For me, it's by far Deepseek. It's many times cheaper than competitors, and about as good as Sonnet 4.6.

No man, it's just that saying "this scenario is popular because it makes for a good story therefore it'll happen in reality" is an absurd point to make.

I mean, if you can make a velociraptor, the skeleton isn't the bit you'll make money on.

Yeah but there's also the book where we make people in a lab and they're great and everyone lives happily ever after forever. Don't cherry-pick your data.

If we wanted to pump out human slaves now, I don't think the main obstacle is that we can't find enough women to bear them.

Defining a word isn't "highbrow shenanigans", although I guess it depends on how you define that.

If we're disregarding requirements, I figured I'd disregard some too. If the question is "I need to containerize my Node app, how do I make it small?" the answer can't be "don't containerize it and don&#x2

Sure! Here: https://www.stavros.io/posts/how-i-write-software-with-llms/ The changes aren't usually very big, basically what you'd put in one ticket. If I need to make large changes, I do them in self-co

Ditch Golang and use a textfile containing the text "Hello world!" to bring it to 12 bytes.

I had this experience as well, nowadays I use Debian slim. Too much random breakage in Alpine.

Ah, I misunderstood and thought you were making the opposite point, sorry.

It was a joke on the typo.

Jesus christ I cannot believe it took this article for me to realize after so many years that leaving the root password empty would set my user up for sudo. Every single installation, the first thing I'd do is log in and lock root and

Law enforcement will just get you to give them the keys.

Hm yeah, I always think of encryption at rest as "the drive handles encryption itself", rather than "we encrypted these archives before we wrote them", but fair enough.

by stavros 5mo ago
Does encryption at rest actually do much? The percentage of attacks that were perpetrated by people getting physical access to a drive must approach zero.

You aren't treating this as a question of ROI. Is it worth spending 5x as much to make sure the plan was OK and implemented well? Or is it actually OK if we discover the bug during testing? The answer won't be the same for all sof

It all depends on your vision, doesn't it? 13 inches was a normal-size screen when we had five pieces of information on it at 640x480, but now that we have 4k screens jam packed with elements, it's no longer a good size. I'm
