Oh man, you're giving me flashbacks to a vibe coded utter mess. Gets were a big offender. It seemed to have no discipline to commit to a data format, added all kinds of optional parameters everywhere, was also doing…
It's important to investigate and understand what happened. I'd also like to see any similar level of scrutiny applied to the liars that pretended this wasn't our fault afterward, and the media who amplified their lies.
It's good pushback and you're right to call that out. I think consolidation and centralized control are coming fast. Already some models are "too dangerous" to let everyone use, competition from open-weight models are…
"Give it out for free or serve for peanuts" is doing a lot of work here. The crowd should be skeptical that this will continue given how many times we have seen enshittification unfold before. Before LLMs, "knowledge…
I think banning oil exports would never happen since oil shareholders would scream, but why would it be evil?
Really good question. For instance, TX is a one-party consent state. If the TV is recording what's happening in the living room with nobody's knowledge, that seems like a very clear violation of "one party in the…
"One day, NPCs will wake up and give a fuck about other people and the environments that allow for the NPC life to begin with." Optimistic take. The PCs are very good at convincing the NPCs that nothing they do can…
In programming certain word choices are valuable in this way. It's sad that pairs like true/false, good/bad, first/rest, and left/right are unequal length. But there are nice pairs like old/new, head/tail, fast/slow,…
"if you have a software system that contains two different implementations of IDNA 2003 processing user input" Is that a real thing though? Is someone doing that?
"Wheelhouse is about 600k lines of code and tests (mostly bash)" This article is a joke right? Please tell me you are joking. Jesus christ.
It's really crazy. If 2/3 of us don't have privacy rights then what are we even doing.
That doesn't seem true at all? I tell Claude what NOT to do all the time and it seems to work?
It's so hard to stay in awe and wonder. N months ago I was like, "OMG, claude code can work on this code base with me and like, understand it, and do high level things that I tell it, this is magic, how can this…
Zero commitment to clean power.
This is so unacceptable. Build as many data centers as you want, but fossil fuels NEED to stop yesterday.
More than that. Who cares if the state can read your chats/etc, when you believe you aren't the kind of people the state wants to persecute. Why deny the state ever more tools to go after people, as long as you think…
This reminds me of a very fun episode of the Uncivil podcast, which talks about a northern guy who started counterfeiting Confederate money during the Civil War:…
This is great news. I wish they were keeping their other models updated. With Gemma 4 and Qwen 3.7 already available on OpenRouter, bedrock is just not keeping up at all.
This is a pretty comprehensive treatment: https://www.plutobooks.com/product/how-to-sell-a-genocide/
FWIW, my team in AWS had help from UI designers who were cool people that impressed me with their work. We definitely had to push through some needless organizational friction, e.g., they were in a different org and…
It may be inescapable for problems where we need to interpret human language?
I remember thinking this was ridiculous when he said it. It's wild how it ended up being the ultimate approach.
Here is an example of what I mean when I say optional stuff is a sign of failure to design. I inherited some vibe-coded scripts that dealt with AWS services like Bedrock and S3. These scripts needed create various AWS…
Hah. I remember some story about a chatbot that had been trained on slack conversations. You would ask it for an essay on whatever, and it would say "will do" or "I'll have it for you tomorrow." :)
For a specific bad thing like "rm -rf" that may be plausible, but this will break down when you try to enumerate all the other bad things it could possibly do.
