AGI does not replace "everything". It might replace most of the work that someone can do behind a desk, but there are a lot of jobs that involve going out there and working with reality outside of the computer.

Multi agent systems are the closest thing I've seen in my life to adults playing dolls.

My experience building agents is that the "main loop" of the framework is really not the hard part, and too much time gets devoted to framework picking. It reminds me a lot of early web application days, stuff feels at the level o

From my time in similar companies, some people understand, and might care, but aren't empowered to do anything about it. They've got a job to do, and creatively auditing network security isn't it. Finding this kind of issue o

It was only successful because of Let's Encrypt removing any excuse for not having HTTPS on your website, HSTS becoming a thing, and Chrome moving from gentle inducements (that cute green padlock) to nasty looking warnings if you didn&

Or multiple syllables for some characters depending on context, like 了 being le or liao. Chinese characters really aren't syllabic.

Yes these knots are real and can be experienced with a simple piece of rope. The prime property of numbers is also very real, a number N is prime if and only if arranging N items on a rectangular, regular grid can only be done if one of the

I sort of agree with Safari's call - a lot of Chrome's functionality is declined by Safari on reasons that it enables fingerprinting. For that reason I think the site is misleading in its rating of privacy. But I don't think

Should we really care what the rendering engines want? What about what users and app authors want? If Google was adding things that nobody cared about, it wouldn't be a problem. The problem is that these things are useful .

"Security and privacy" is kind of a funny one to rate. As I understand it, one of the main reasons why Safari doesn't support as many advanced APIs as other browsers is that they want to avoid technologies that pose a fingerp

I've switched to email and chat for social connection, works a lot better for me than I think any ranked feed ever will, no matter how many court decisions try to shape it.

I thought this was going to be a deep dive into what "alphabetical" means and how that's itself not a universal term between locales, what with so many different collation preferences.

One of my relatives freaked out the summer after Chernobyl accident happened, when finding some glow-in-the-dark mushrooms in the forest nearby. Upon examination by a pro they turned out to be naturally bioluminescent fungi.

Using HTTPS to check Gmail and send messages isn't what I'd call libertarian tech. You're still communicating everything in cleartext to Google, whoever you're emailing with, and whoever subpoenas Google or the other pro

Actually that's a problem for a lot of libertarian minded tech, it starts being thought of as enabling freedom from oppressive governments and ends up being adopted by criminals - Bitcoin, Tor, etc. In the tech industry you also find a

By the author's own evaluation the solution proposed is not always correct either. The real danger would be the LLM hallucinating a different name altogether.

Valiant effort at old-school engineering applied to a niche problem. (Iceland has a population of only around 400,000 people!) As much as I love the geekery of this stuff though, isn't it already a better ROI to get an LLM to generate

Another, related benefit of LLMs in this situation is that we can observe their hallucinations and use them for design. I've come up with a couple situations where I saw Copilot hallucinate a method, and I agreed that that method shoul

My dude such systemic problems can't be attributed to you being out of office. If a hurricane had hit hp headquarters you'd have been just about as responsible. Board made a decision, CEO made decisions, were they wrong? Possibly.

No there are many techniques now to curb hallucinations. Not perfect but no longer so egregiously overconfident.
