This really needs to have a lot more evidence that it’s because GitHub’s code is being written by AI vs them being bombarded by activity from all kinds of AI agents all over the world vs they were already on a trajectory of quality loss.

Didn’t Anthropic acquire Cerebras? Seems like a move into the same direction. I also think that etching models into ASICs may be a bit too inflexible for what OpenAI and Anthropic want.

It's really not designed as much of a security model as a liability model. When the AI isn't responsible for the decisions, a whole category of liability goes away.

Isn’t another aspect of it that it’s sufficiently random / unrecognizable, for example? I’m very much aware of the differences between symmetric and asymmetric encryption, and realize that symmetric encryption is much simpler, but I fi

Yeah, I wouldn’t say with certainty that LLMs will never break any symmetrical crypto algorithm. It will certainly require a lot of effort, but so does solving some hard math challenges and it has been proven successful in that in the past.

Seems pretty clear to me: enable it for the projects you want, and there’s a 1M / 10M token limit per day, depending on the model you use. Assuming an average context size of 100k tokens, that is 10 to 100 requests, which is not a lot.

> JavaScript was a mistake, e-commerce was a mistake, and so is everything else that came after. That’s a really extreme take that lacks any nuance. Might as well blame the OS as well for allowing any custom code to be executed.

This sounds like FUD unless backed by evidence. Cloudflare’s inference absolutely does support ZDR, as long as you use unified billing (ie not using BYOK).

Isn’t that already in detail by the research of these quantization techniques?

What is this kind of unprofessional blog-style rant doing on OpenAI’s website? Shouldn’t this be settled between the two companies themselves rather than trying to play the court of public opinion? Besides, I have absolutely no idea what th

I think the problem is that the Box / Map / any stuff and all the explicit declarations that Go requires makes it harder. In Haskell as well, you can let the compiler infer a lot of things but that doesn’t appear to be the case wi

my post was never intended as Go bashing, I use Go a lot and appreciate its simplicity. am I tearing something down in my comment?

by stingraycharles 2mo ago
Am I the only one who’s absolutely shocked that Go finally is embracing generics? Does anyone have a bit of an inside view into what changed in the perspectives of the language maintainers? I’m not buying the “it took us 20 years to underst

One example from a root cause analysis of a security incident like this is not evidence for “everyone does this”. I believe that Huggingface, with 250+ employees, is an outlier.

Just don’t switch models every week and you’ll be fine. Especially in production.

by stingraycharles 2mo ago
I don’t think everyone does this at all. Maybe very small scale companies, but I would have expected a company like Huggingface to have better security standards. As soon as you’re big enough to have dedicated devops people, you shouldn’t b

It can go both ways. Lines of code is a terrible metric for pretty much any goal that refactorings are meant to tackle.

It’s interesting and slightly off-topic, but I’ve been a Keychron user for years (currently have their latest Q6 Ultra 8K), and I’m wondering whether I should be using QMK? I’ve never really dug into it before, but I’m afraid I’ll be losing

Ah come on, HN is not the place for these types of unfounded conspiracy theories that keep popping up on Reddit.

Tell me where I can buy it then. Because it’s not listed there. And the approach the paper describes requires tight integration between applications and a security provider, which I don’t think exists yet.

Where do you see them offering this service to you? They’re just publishing what they developed internally, which is what they often do. Now, Cloudflare, on the other hand, would be much more likely to offer a service like this.

I thought the issue people have with AI scrapers is the ones that DDoS sites to scrape everything for training purposes, rather than the ones that interactively query specific content to support an active conversation?

Sounds to me Anthropic’s marketing strategy of “AI is so dangerous and we’re the only responsible shepherds” is a great success if this open weights ban will indeed happen.
114.
by stingraycharles 3mo ago
Yeah to me it just appears like OpenAI imitating Anthropic’s marketing strategy. “Our model is so smart it’s dangerous” is effective, and potentially the real intended audience is regulators who they want to be afraid of AI and OpenAI and A

I don’t think Google cares about being the most intelligence AI as much as it cares about monetizing it with all its products, which requires speed. Google has long said that this is what it cares about most, the fastest at giving the corre

I work in manufacturing, you would be surprised at the volumes of sensor data being processed there for predictive maintenance. MQTT is everywhere, indeed, because of how simple the protocol is (it’s very ubiquitous in IoT / embedded s

by stingraycharles 3mo ago
Yeah if there’s one thing that people should really understand it’s that it’s cheaper to have smarter models with less thinking than cheaper models with more thinking.

A lack of clear goals is a symptom of bigger, organizational issues is what I’m reading. The problem isn’t as much raw firepower as it is strategy and execution.

And the long term studies will show that it’s indeed not good, people will discuss it, and nothing will really change, except that there will be a counter movement, and writing code by hand will become a real craft again.

by stingraycharles 3mo ago
Yes and it’s also something that was already known and recommended. It’s not “code mode” or something revolutionary, it’s just instructing your LLM to feel free to write scripts to aid it in completing the task. It’s very useful and I use i
