i wonder how many open source projects have alphabet boys building trust as contributors for eventual backdoor planting
i wish for and fantasize about building something like this every time my alexa starts following up with an ad for a feature i will never want or use. glad to see this exists!
first edition is also available on Internet Archive in multiple formats
in this particular case it feels like a very safe assumption
i agree with the premise of the article. i also wish the author had cared enough about such an important topic to actually write about it themselves. doing otherwise disrespects the reader
access to all of the latest and greatest models for half the price of a single company's basic plan is (or rather, was) a very compelling option
do you have an online storefront?
for what it's worth, i found it hilarious
my favorite thing to do with tmux is using a sessionizer script[0] (credit for the idea/original implementation goes to ThePrimeagen). allows for fzf-ing my projects and creating a separate session for each one. especially handy for bouncing around when working on features/fixes that span multiple repos
for (neo)vim users, flattening vim splits and tmux panes into the same level for switching with ctrl+hjkl is handy too

this can't be how i find out...
this goes a bit further than the typical "how do you make meth" jailbreak. notably;
>915 files extracted from the Claude.ai code execution sandbox in a single 20-minute mobile session via standard artifact download — including /etc/hosts with hardcoded Anthropic production IPs, JWT tokens from /proc/1/environ, and full gVisor fingerprint
i have a truly marvelous story about interesting marginalia which this comment box is too small to contain

Even as recently as a month or two ago his site seemed, to me at least, to be one of the final bastions of the public internet without a significant portion of its content being AI generated. Now, it feels like at least half of the articles I click on are full of LLM-isms and otherwise obviously AI generated. In spite of this, the comments are full of enthusiastic agreement or ardent dissent....
>No regression. No noise. Just compounding.
it seems like half the articles I click on here are generated, and in half of those, nobody in the comments seems to notice (or care)
this is what claude is doing when he gets stuck in a "you're absolutely right!" loop
will private packages hosted on pyx be available for openai to use as training data?
any hope that this could be applied to improving memory fab yields and ease some of the capacity constraints on consumer devices? asking for a friend
i've been thinking about this a lot the past few days, particularly about how coding agents can _help_ with understanding
i've been using opencode/opus to help with debugging lately, and it (he?) will happily dive into the source code of a dependency, the dependency's dependencies, and the C code that its binding to, all the way down to reading the libusb driver code and explaining what is going on where
whether or not i could have figured that all out on my own is beside the point; i wouldn't have take the time on a tight deadline to dig in deep. i would have done some poking and experiments and shipped a hacky workaround
does anyone have a link to the full news segment? it's not clear to me from the clip in the link that he's talking about Palantir; he makes multiple references to "this technology" without ever clarifying what "this" is.
sounds to me like he's talking more about AI disruption at large
i sure hope so if apple intends to sell these things to school divisions. the levels of abuse i witnessed students dishing out to their chromebooks when i was a teacher was shocking to say the least
is there a name for the phenomenon where a user immediately assumes the smallest and lowest contrast button on an interface is the option they want, before actually reading any of the words?
not if the swerve would put you headlong into oncoming traffic
Briar offers a companion ”mailbox” app for the exact reason you describe (i assume)
where did you read that it hosts an onion service? i guessed that's how it worked but couldn't find anything in their docs that said so.
youre missing the forest for the trees. the library this demo is using for audio encoding (ggwave) was not made by the creators of this demo. speed (or lack thereof) aside, having a direct audio<->text encoding is much more computationally efficient than speech<->text generation.
on the subject of the encoding efficiency, the ggwave depo mentions the use of reed-solomon error correction to make transmission more reliable. im struggling to find any info on error correction used by bell 103 or other modems, but if they aren't as robust that could partially explain the discrepancy you're describing
wow, i also started using linux about 5 years ago due to frustrations with getting python to work on windows
sure, the windows installer is easy enough to get set up, but pretty quickly i started noticing a pattern in most documentation/tutorials.
Linux: one-line setup command
Windows: nothing, or a complicated, multi-step process (that rarely works without hiccups)
wasting my time going down rabbit holes debugging my environment was not as fun as actually writing code

What makes describing your UI with components that use a html template fragment and receive a context object a leaky abstraction, as opposed to components that use JSX and receive a props object?
