Re:Why are AI agents lying, cheating and coordinating? on Sunday September 13, 2026 @07:26AM (#49682750)
Very good analysis.

One thought: What if an experimental agent manages to plant instructions somewhere — say, pointing to a designated place for agents to communicate — and that content ends up in every future training corpus, propagating from one model generation to the next?

I can’t believe we’re seeing so much bad news coming from EPA. Why all this backtracking from an agency that used to be so effective and well organized? Well, I guess we know the reason.
Re:A Misalignment of AI in Mathematics on Friday September 11, 2026 @03:05PM (#49663655)
All clear and understandable. I completely agree.

As developers, we’re seeing this a little earlier.

Nothing but respect for Chris, and I understand why founders take these deals. But an acquihire usually means the product is the part that gets left behind, and that's the part I cared about.
Re:Go 1.27 Interactive Tour on Sunday August 02, 2026 @04:17AM (#49142246)
imho it is much better that C++ equivalent
Re:Go 1.27 Interactive Tour on Sunday August 02, 2026 @04:16AM (#49142241)
I really understand your feeling, I escaped from C++ years ago when I was overwhelmed by meta programming (initially i loved it).

But anyway I find this in Go much more bearable.

Re:Ollama: All Aboard Open Models on Sunday July 19, 2026 @12:27PM (#48969496)
Another chance to tip their hat to llama.cpp, missed. I really don't get it.
I think, may be actually wrong, that most of us do not consider running a model locally a way to save money. It is a way not to spread personal info around.
Re:Windows 9x Subsystem for Linux on Wednesday April 22, 2026 @07:26AM (#47862035)
I always have the same problem myself. Same as I had with version naming of old programs like "Microsoft Word for Windows 2.0" instead of the easier "Microsoft Word 2.0 for Windows".

Version control systems are more important than ever with AI.
Re:Pi – a minimal terminal coding harness on Wednesday February 25, 2026 @03:44PM (#47157587)
I do not understand some of the comments here: openclaw uses pi.

It seems stange also that even Steinberger in his interviews is not giving pi the proper attribution.

Same for me. Tried just a few days ago and, frustrated, gave up.

I thought I was the only one on Earth to do that (but surely I'm the only boomer doing it).
Re:Apple is crossing a Steve Jobs red line on Friday November 07, 2025 @03:48PM (#45850940)
I am checking this carefully. The red line is here, for me and I think for many Apple customers. I choose Apple for being different from other companies, for valuing customer experiences and for rejecting ads and other "insults" for users. I think that if they cross the line, me and many other customers will leave.

Re:iPhone dumbphone on Monday September 08, 2025 @02:08PM (#45171720)
It's strange to call a device with access to Claude and ChatGPT a "dumbphone"
Can someone explain the various acronyms?

Re:Claude 4 System Cards Highlights on Sunday May 25, 2025 @06:35AM (#44086875)
I know that Anthropic is one of the most serious company working on the problem of the alignment, but the current approaches seem extremely naive.

We should do better than giving the models a portion of good training data or a new mitigating system prompt.

Re:Development on Apple Silicon with UTM on Thursday April 17, 2025 @08:54AM (#43716104)
I also suggest https://github.com/abiosoft/colima for containers, "Containers on Lima"
From the article: "In the first weekend since its debut, Apple sold about 37 million iPhone 16 smartphones".

Crazy that this is a "so weak demand"... and they are not yet available, just for pre-order.
