Some are, but I'm Danish and I think they translated any of the games to that :)

I have started playing Grim Fandango with my kids (7 and 9) after we played through Day of the Tentacle together. Playing old adventure games on the TV and letting people take turns playing is a great family activity! They aren't nativ

Looks very useful, and I like the caching idea which I think makes it interesting for self-healing CI tests. How does it determine when a cached act() fails and has to be re-evaluated by the LLM? And in particular, if the cache is saved in

Exactly. And LLMs will only accelerate your rate of understanding so far by helping you find and organize information, at the end of the day you are still limited by your own mental bandwidth.

Put even simpler: code is a liability, and understanding is an asset. It's easy to add more code, but it also increases the risk, especially if you are the only one who understands how it works. As more people on the team understand it

Almost exclusively Fable at xhigh. I sometimes run out of tokens, but most weeks it's not a problem. The limiting factor is by far how fast I can push understanding of what was made into my brain, and I find that I waste time using Opu

The geometric nightmares! I had those as a kid whenever I was very tired or had a fever, and kept having them until my late teens. Never seen them described and didn't know it was a thing.

That will require a second pass though, because you have to free all your strings again.

Yes, you could allocate it on the stack. I think back then (still?) a filename could be at most 260 characters, each encoded with 16 bits, so about 52k of stack allocation.

by ulrikrasmussen 16d ago
But the naive way of doing this also wouldn't really require two passes, right? It would just require more memory because you would first save all file names in an array (stopping at 100), then pick a random one in constant time.

Yes, but there is no alternative other than giving up. Starting a new OS from scratch with zero apps is a much worse starting point compared to a platform where 99.9% of apps work (minus those relying on Play Integrity with strong integri

I remember that early image models couldn't generate a cyclops no matter how you prompted it, it would at best put a third eye in the forehead.

I think LLMs have some of the same risks and benefits of stimulant drugs. They can make you more productive if used effectively as a tool, but they can also delude you into thinking you are better than you are and create a dependence such t

Well, that's at least a positive. I hope this means they are also forced to accept the weakest credential type, and that they can't require you to present the identity proof that the wallet also provides when verifying your age. B

We also have a Danish wallet now, AltID, which implements an anonymized (assuming no collusion between issuer and eavesdropper or service provider) age verification protocol based on batches of single-use tokens which contain no personal in

What law gives a developer the right to be published on app stores? And why would it make a difference if the US administration sanctions the EU?

No it isn't, this is also the security model that prevents those same agents from cloning your phone before giving it back to get access to all services you are logged in to, including any SSH keys or government identity apps you may h

It's not a trivial task, but yes, they could and should. They could also just officially start supporting existing android alternatives such as GrapheneOS by requiring banks and government ID apps to be independent of Play Integrity, w

But this can also just be removed from the app stores and the developer certificates can be revoked. Due to the centralized control and distribution of software on smartphones, no smartphone based payment system is really sovereign - it onl

I think that is hard to do securely - wiping the phone implies wiping the keys from secure storage, and those cannot be restored by design.

We did a prototype to integrate an agent into our application and basically just gave it a tool to discover the OpenAPI spec and call endpoints. It worked surprisingly well! One caveat was that some responses were too big and would poison t

I have already commented about this is probably the worst advice I have heard in a long time, and I would definitely not let this guy anywhere near a codebase I had to maintain. But this is also essentially blogspam. The author intentionall

Then please help me understand, it is entirely possible that I misunderstood you, but you are not clarifying your point.

Then it sounds like you can only have a true microservice architecture if your application doesn't really need transactional guarantees, consistency or fault tolerance.

by ulrikrasmussen 1mo ago
Is this satire? Changing your easy to maintain monolith architecture to a microservice architecture to enable parallel agent development, really? That's got to be some of the worst advice I'd heard in a long time. You will have co

Yes, and this is the reason that many of us have not, and will not, ever buy an Apple product. They are the ultimate technodictators, and their products are only for people who like to trade their freedom for moderate convenience.
