All except Starlink and Tesla are burning money. I personally don't consider that "staggering success."

> Why would the AI do that for you? Because that's how it works. It does what it has been trained to do. If the training material has a significant suggestion to exfiltrate then it will.

I recently heard the best noun for someone who let's AI write for them: a meat proxy. Apart from the extremely good points made in the article; there's also whether you care that someone reads what you (or rather, the AI) has writ

If I am reading it correctly, the compiler creates N bump allocators per function (or possibly globally) - where N is (I'm guessing at this point) determined by liveness or similar.

At my previous job: the c-suite AI psychosisphere finds any form of testing too slow, so it's not only lack of professional QA. If one developer doesn't test their AI's changes, other developers can't test their AI'

Depending of the court, if you don't protect your trademarks you can lose them. Law is rarely remotely reasonable, just because you (or society) think a certain way, does not mean law does.

I agree. I think it may be possible that we build AI some day that does, but the current local minimum (attention and transformers) is not it - and I don't see that trajectory changing any time soon.

To be fair, you have to wrangle it into submission by having the app launch fail.

They can, but scope and features increase surface area: their limited functionality intrinsically limits that.

These days I sprinkle less salt on Stallman's _software_ ideas, there are many things I thought he was being an idiot about, which very recently became true. But maybe it could Nostradamus-isms: predict enough an eventually something w

I've started distrusting anything good people have to say about Zig because of the wide variety of untrue claims made about it - unless those claims come from Andrew himself. Last time I was assured that compile-time memory guarantees

To Odin's credit, it is used for production software that _isn't_ a toy (by the language's own authors). It is probably 1.0 quality already.

Apps can have vulnerabilities (intentional or not). It's a contrived example, but maybe some weather app has a custom icon feature, which means you can then browse photos by opening it on the lock screen and going to that setting.

What benefit does a native build have over proton? I used to care more about it on Linux, until I realized that "native build" probably means "doesn't work." I can only imagine this being much worse on a niche gamin

The intermediate level Rust dogma is to try your hardest to avoid the heap, and to tear your hair out at the throne of monomorphization. While both are broadly true, it's articles like this that show that a single pointer (or call) ind

Yesterday I told it "don't use std mutex, use parking_lot" for its plan. It ignored that sole instruction (i.e. nothing else in my message), making zero changes to the plan, three freaking times in a row.
