The majority of reports of people reporting issues with their Duo are due to the early defects found in the phone [0].

Yet another reason why it makes sense to never buying the first version of an Apple product [1], since previously:

> "But once again as I said before, don't buy the first version of an Apple product."

This was Apple's first foldable iPhone. If the price wasn't enough of a deterrent, then the defects should now be even clearer to wait until Apple fixes them in the next version.

> Although AI lets us do much more,

More of what? I see many here using AI to build more of the same things in another language such as rewrites and then claiming that they are "productive", which is the problem of many engineers here.

Not that much risk taking if all what everyone is doing is just full blown rewrites and then abandoning it in a couple of months later and just wasting tokens for free.

If the result is to vibe code something for free and it makes no money and has no users then it is a waste of time.

> Would I pay for a very good agent multiplexer that makes me a lot more productive?

That is not the question I am asking.

> But for Herdr specifically? Probably not.

So no then.

That is why they went for VC money since the author knew that donations weren't enough to maintain it in the open.

> There are tons of similar free alternatives and even vibe coding your own is very easy with all the open source code of both herdr and all the alternatives available.

Why would I waste tokens vibe coding something that would go unmaintained in 6 months (because it is "free") over a properly funded project that will last much longer than that?

The cost of maintenance is never "free".

Yes. So you donated to Emacs as a long time user?

Since you used herdr before it got funding, were you going to donate or pay for it without VC funding?

Sure. Reddit will still survive.

Just like X did, and LinkedIn.

This one is quite serious and the type of vulnerability is once again, a C style memory corruption and a race condition combined; leading to an RCE.

At this point, we seriously need to discuss whether if the major projects still written in C such as Linux, Chromium and even git can even handle the stream of now near infinite bugs being discovered with AI.

Attackers are already rapidly finding and building exploits for those vulnerabilities the moment they are discovered with abliterated frontier-level models.

These sort of vulnerabilities are far to common in those projects and in the future, it will be extremely unsafe for even experts to continue using C or C++ in any way.

Yet another classic C style use after free + race condition according to the AI slop written blog post:

> If the new socket is freed first, the options are freed with a plain kfree() while still in use: a use-after-free. A similar race exists when request sockets are migrated between listeners, which only happens with net.ipv4.tcp_migrate_req=1 or a BPF_SK_REUSEPORT_SELECT_OR_MIGRATE eBPF program.

I think we need to now discuss whether if Linux (and C) are still fit for purpose in the AI age given how common the C style vulnerabilities are quickly being discovered, everywhere in the kernel.

Hopefully expect to see the same schadenfreude sentiment on Crypto when the $10TN data center build out crashes the market and takes everyone with it.

Reddit is also ditching RSS. [0]

Thanks to AI we are likely to see more websites doing the same thing and removing RSS.

> CEO Andy Yen wrote it to staff in Slack: "This will be the last year that we hire engineers." Starting next year, he said, Proton hires product managers to build things with AI.

That won't age well in the long term, especially and for a company that deals with security. Here's what Proton just did:

Rather than equipping more of your technical staff with AI to compete against the competition, they are dismissing them over it and not hiring anymore engineers on technical defense. Not only the competition has AI agents as well, the malicious attackers also do and will overwhelm Proton with swarms of them, non-stop with less staff.

This will be the beginning of the end of Proton as there will be no-one ready to defend the company when millions of abliterated frontier-level AI agents attack them at 25,000 tokens per second.

That isn't a secure future for Proton.

They will never admit it, but they give clues.

It makes no sense on being "aggressively pro AI" without any payment. It is like being an unpaid shill.

The opposite makes even more sense to be true.

> They pointed out a detail of algorithmic analysis that I had not mentioned. It’s a detail that I had never encountered before. I think it’s an interesting detail, but not one that needed to be included.

Who cares? We have a clear term for this and it is called "point scoring".

Just give the rest of the group further reading material if they want to study it in their own time and to not talk over minute details.

So just dismiss them with a "Great point" remark and tell everyone else to read the reading list later.

Job done.

> They are refining it to perform better at certain tasks.

Like what, coding?

Over 50+ LLMs out there do exactly this.

> It is a great example to refute the common misconception that LLMs are inherently non-deterministic.

No it isn't.

Realistically the opposite is true in practice and LLMs are really non-deterministic beyond simplistic experiments such as this in useful activities in production. Even with hacks such as "setting temp=0" (which no-one seriously does) to "achieve determinism", was one of the most common misconceptions ever propagated by "AI engineers".

So using tiny slop experiments aren't really useful as a "strong counter-example". In fact this is a very weak one.

So this is yet another rube goldberg machine.

We have gone down this path already in [0] and this is the same thing but overly complicated. This reason is "because LLMs".

Why?

> From what my AIs tell me, Particle-1 is post-trained on DeepSeek V4.1 Flash 1017

So then what is the point of this model that I could not already do with DeepSeek?

Why does "Particle" even exist?

I would not buy this, unless you can fold the machine's screen backwards beyond 120° and use it like an iPad.

So without that, having touch doesn't make any sense and once again, won't buy this unless the second generation of touch Macbooks are available.

Worked well with the first foldable iPhone Duo didn't it? /s

They trust the companies that already use Harvey or Legora for their legal work and nobody got fired for buying services from both of them.

But someone will risk getting fired for vibe-coding their own without the support, sales, infrastructure and engineering to recreate them.

Just like how DocuSign should have shut down after thousands of other open source clones have spawned on GitHub? (DocuSign is still alive)

Also "source available" is not "open source". On top of that even releasing the source must mean that DocuSign and Harvey should be panicking right now. /s

Can someone please tell them that they should be scared?

It will get far worse for those that are unfortunately fully against AI.

Then imagine if these vulnerabilities and exploits are found using swarms of abliterated Chinese LLMs at 25,000+ tokens a second.

Nope, he is free to do whatever. I am just telling the truth and looking at where the money (potentially the salaries of tens of thousands of workers) is going. [0]

Tech Giants Double Down on Their Massive AI Spending [0]

Microsoft offers mass buyouts for roughly a quarter of its workforce [2]

I am telling you that these companies don't care about human (tech) workers striking, since they are too busy spending that money on data centers for AI agents.

They are not forcing you to do anything. In fact, companies like Microsoft want you to leave and go on strike forever.

These companies don't care and are too busy building homes (data centers) for agents.

What they are telling you is that you have no leverage against them since they will just replace you with 1 person with 100+ agents.

They don't care. This is free money to the lawyers.

The next step is that they will go and use world models on the real (never released) game and give you a simulated stream of it to you so that there is no code to breach and they will do the prompting on their IP.

> Escape codes are the new html for browsers now called terminal emulators.

Not really and that isn't a good thing in the long run.

There should not be any more complexity in a terminal emulator that will just lead attackers to craft RCEs exploits to your terminal to steal your secrets on your computer just because "Its cool" and has hundreds of escape codes.

Very bad idea and is just asking for the agent to breached itself via a bad prompt.
