Glad I’m not alone. The whiplash from “oh, python I can read this” to “what the hell does that do” was jarring. Assuming AI was correct, it unpacks more or less like this import os, zlib, socket AF_ALG = 38 SOCK_SEQPACKET = 5 SOL_ALG = 279

This is actually the opposite of what the copyright office has said. Directly addressing AI generated code/prompts, they compared it to someone who is commissioning art, describing to the artist what they want. The copyright falls to t

Weird, because in the Reddit thread linked above they call themselves a backup service.

I tested something similar last week, still worked easily.

I just checked some of the content from miasma, and this appears to be exactly what it does. Everything from loops that won’t end to incorrect function calls and emoji “definitions” that are both realistic and wrong. Very impressive project

I just had back to back round 6 interviews. Both companies have 8 rounds. And yes, not FAANG.

Honestly “vibe coded” is already so derogatory in my eyes that I didn’t even consider another term

They won’t just have custom screws, they will sort them by incredibly small amounts of manufacturing error and make those correspond with devices that have similar amounts of manufacturing error, so it matches(like a slightly too large scre

Is this satire?

MoltBook is vibe coded. It passed its own API key via client side JS, and in doing so exposed full read/write access to it’s supabase db, complete with over a million API keys. That is groundbreaking for a product held in such

Ever tried to ban a botnet owner from a service they want to use? It’s basically impossible. They have money, IPs, identities, anything you could possibly want to evade.

by xmcp123 8mo ago
Because botnets are mostly there to make money nowadays. Or owned by state actors. Either way, it’s opportunity cost.

For awhile(maybe a year ago?) it seemed like verbal abuse was the best way to make Claude pay attention. In my head, it was impacting how important it deemed the instruction. And it definitely did seem that way.

I have never had a non wtf moment talking to an apple software engineer at a bar. I can recall one explaining to me in the mid 20 teens that the next iPhone would be literally impossible to jailbreak in any capacity with 100% confidence. I

Most of the web works with Tor, but to make tor successful at the things it is intended to do you have to disable JavaScript. This kills the internet.

Wild to see this name again. I went to school in the metro Detroit area, and I still remember when GM brought an EV1 prototype to my middle school. They seemed so excited about it, I was shocked to hear it got shelved when it did.

Wouldn’t that in a lot of ways invalidate the test? You’re trying to see what can be done and what the response is from the current security practices and the police showing up seems like an important part of that.

It is the governments fault that it exists, and apples fault for exploiting it to the extent they do. It’s a choice, and you can tell it’s a choice because many, many other companies choose not to.

Much better prices, and simplicity. The power you get from Hetzner or Kimsufi is crazy compared to AWS. If I need to host something small, I don’t want to mess around with the many permissions and quirks that are required to deal with AWS.

Honestly Miller strikes me different. It’s not coincidence he’s survived so long. He’s not an idiot. He knows how much damage he can absorb and how to position himself to not take more than that. He never positions himself as the implementa

Noem strikes me as a loyalist and a team player through and through, so probably a fall gal. Miller is different. He has his own agenda, a lot of which has becomes trumps agenda. But trumps agenda changing does not change what Miller’s agen

There are multiple companies that can get different amounts of information off of locked phones including iPhones, and they work with LE. I’m also curious what they could get off of cloud backups. Thinking in terms of auth, keys, etc. For S

Tbh most do. It makes sense only for big companies with a multinational presence. But admitting you are subject to the laws of a country/entity is one thing, sending them your books (when your company is not based there) is kind of on

Old telephones had caller ID. They would send your name and company. You did have to initiate the call, but you still didn’t have any kind of agreement about it.

Everybody says this until there’s an alternative. There have been several alternatives, and people didn’t switch.

I think the issue is that most vibe coders believe it is professional quality code, or is sufficient moving forward. It produces code (in the hands of an amateur) that is good enough for a demo or at best an MVP, but it’s not at all a stabl

Holy hell, AI is not at all perfect at refactoring. Absolutely terrified on your behalf if you believe this to be the case.
