Don’t even get me started on “elif”
Yeah they do, it's called "Background Security Improvements" but they rarely use it lol

You should consider using something like Exa or Firecrawl.

How about anything, generally speaking? My father didn’t teach me shit beyond “how to drive” so frankly the bar here is extraordinarily low lol

What a paradigm shift it was when us kids in the computer lab found out you can change the stamp size/stop the animations with shift, command, opt etc

The Air Force was part of the army, not the navy. You probably mean the marines (which also has its own fixed wing air force lol)

RLHF I presume, considering how everyone has their own CLI code harness these days. They want mass interactions with users on real tasks.
Re:How, Exactly, Could A.I. Kill Us? on Thursday September 17, 2026 @09:05AM (#49740147)
A plausible scenario I heard recently is a scam bot (that is to say, prompted to "make money through any means possible") basically buys its own hosting, because it now has money, and then makes more scam bots to keep paying the bills. Then the scam bots start generating/selling exploits on forums etc. This is pretty amusing.
The main problem with ReiserFS is Reiser killed his wife so it is unmaintained.
Gemiri, clearly
Re:Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating? on Sunday September 13, 2026 @12:00AM (#49679892)
I think this is a “principal” problem. In 2001 and Alien the principal is the mission, not the crew. Not really. HAL reconciles his instructions by removing the crew from the equation. Ash is told the crew is expendable and has no conflict about it etc
Yes you can make private keys that are encrypted by the secure enclave, rather than stored inside it. The "sc_auth" tool on macos has a "ssh-exportable" variant
Re:Feeling Sad about AI on Friday September 11, 2026 @01:23PM (#49661992)
IDK man it’s a golden era for one-man indie games right now (I just finished Endacopia) and that can only increase with AI assistance. I wouldn’t be too cynical about it
IIRC there are options for exportable and un-exportable private keys when you make one in the secure enclave. Going to guess Tahoe made them un-exportable by default.
Re:The jobs apocalypse is postponed. An AI jobs boom is here on Monday September 07, 2026 @10:36AM (#49598932)
Yes I’ve seen very little change over the past 3 years in my role (platform engineering) except mostly JIRA tickets are more unreadable because people just have Claude vomit a novel into it.

I mean I use it every day of course, but the velocity of work doesn’t really seem to be budging lol. And frankly a lot of time wasted on AI made gadgets, and meetings about those gadgets (look at this dashboard Claude made! etc)

I thought the image was a joke, but you really pay with Bobcoins.. lmao

This is exactly why I haven't used any of Google's AI stuff. Unlike other providers, I'm risking my email and internet service (GFiber!) to some capricious ban-happy whim you probably can't even appeal.
You should try Glimmer MTP. Qwen3.8 27B seems to have weird memory and caching issues on oMLX
Re:Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @02:59PM (#49526402)
The comments it makes are so bad, long, and incomprehensible I just strip them all with sed these days.

Claude Code has a built in sandbox for terminal commands which is very simple to enable, if nothing else: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sandboxing

This isn't true at all lol, if you make a PR to the formulas it is certainly reviewed. By a real human no less. wtf are you talking about
FWIW I've been saying it in a sarcastic way since I was in my teens because of the Simpsons where Bart says "It's a load bearing poster." I assume if anyone uses the phrase (that isn't like a civil engineer) it probably came from here lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRVExJZKIT8
Much like Oracle, they extract money from companies trapped on Db2
It's in Unsloth Desktop already. Looks like it's 73GB, so 128GB Mac or Strix Halo etc will work. Exciting!

Yes the Bell System, for example, had a lot of "funny money" stuff going on with Western Electric. They called it "gold plating"

Isn’t this how conglomerates work? Like Samsungs memory division refusing to sell to Samsungs phone division recently.
Re:Claude Code May–August 2026 weekly limits promotion on Tuesday August 18, 2026 @02:39PM (#49350486)
I haven’t had any issues with Fable or Opus code-wise, but the way it has started writing recently has almost become incomprehensible.

At the end of a long session it will start saying stuff like “There are smoke tests on the foundation-gates that are left for the cutting seam checks on these domains, which is genuinely your decision”

Never before the past couple months have I ever not been able to understand wtf it’s even saying lol
