How can you trust it? Like how does it resolve if I got my Weird Al toupee from eBay? Is it if someone shipped me a box? Smart contracts make sense when there's a large, public event.

Exactly and why wouldn't the thieves publish to the official VS Code or Open VSX market places?

According to Felix from Anthropic: no [1]. This didn't seem to impact the official VS Code repository, etc.

Is there any Crypto that can be used for refunds due to fraud? That's my major concern. Until then I'll be stuck with Visa/Mastercard/Paypal etc.

A malicious version of Anthropic’s Claude Code VS Code extension, version 2.1.313, was published to the Open VSX registry on Oct. 30. According to ChainCatcher, security researcher Paul McCarty, known as 6mile, described the finding in a post on the OpenSource Malware blog. Researchers confirmed the analyzed Open VSX release was malicious and submitted a threat report about the same version on Microsoft’s VS Code Marketplace as a precaution.

Gary Tan has said markdown is code. Personally I see my job as establishing the architecture, creating tests, lint rules, etc. for my agents. Monitor the code, but if there's an issue create a new agent that monitors performance, etc.

tldr; No sane drug professionals would have designed a relatively simple compound (144 Atomic Mass) as a Multiple Sclerosis drug

I think human review may screw things up. If you look at dimethyl fumarate[1], no card carrying medicinal chemist would have taken this serious. No pharma exec would have risked 100s of millions of dollars for clinical research trials.

  - 1950s people notices that a wood polish cleared psoriasis. Topical formulation worked. 
  - 1990s an oral formulation was created.
  - 2000s people noticed people treated for psoriasis that had MS, had fewer MS symptoms while taking this molecule. 
  - 2017 dimethyl fumerate is approved for MS.

I'd be happy to do a 1999 Amish life style + LED TVs that don't spy on you.

Income isn't wealth. Like you could tax Sergei Brin 1,000,000% of his annual salary and he'd be fine (he earns 1 dollar a year).

There are two versions of wealth taxes for nonliving people that make a lot of sense:

   1) Endowments, Trusts, and nonprofits
   2) The Estate Tax

Yes, Claude + skills is what we use too. Big picture, all of the old BI players are living on borrowed time. If you have to drag and drop; you'll be dropped.

I wonder what happens if the Dems win the White House in 2028. Will he be extradited back?

I can't even get a Temu kidney for less than $999, no way there's an iKidney for less than $30,000

I have loved D3 for more than a decade but I'd never recommend it to a client because maintenance requires a large learning curve. Not any more, ${YourAIAgent} + D3 is awesome.

Math and Computer Science have low costs to verify answers. Biology is high due to reagents and instrumentation costs.

I'd love to see that number. Are those the parked domains or actual sites? I'm guessing Wordpress adds to those numbers.

If you haven't read Careless People, I can't recommend it enough.

have you played with lit.dev ? It's part of the OpenJS Foundation (formerly jQuery and Node.js Foundations)

With Muse, people can enter their bank account information and medical information so that it can work hard for them. For this, they need a lot of training material.

I think her husband was a lawyer... but the utes will be alright.

Imagine if your comment is part of Exhibit A in a lawsuit.

I’m sorry for your loss. Words from an internet rando don’t mean much, but you did the best that you could so don’t worry about what ifs. Do your best right now.

Discord is on brand for many of the "discussions" on there.

Middle management is being flattened. If you have better metrics, it's easier to phase out certain levels of management.

LLMs don't need to focus on the business. They can make the ideal software for you. Who cares if it's not the perfect software for me? I can have my LLM do that. Especially if there's an open source base for me to start.

Thank you for writing this article.

  1. my ignorance is massive so don't bet on my predictions. There's so much FUD. This is like the industrial revolution but on steroids. 
  2. I see the moat around software decreasing quickly. Therefore, I'm going to project that there will be fewer coders in software only companies (such as Adobe, SAS, or Intuit)
  3. It will be easier to support software so I see the need for more technical entrepreneurs. Software is going to be an amenity with services, hardware, or support. The code itself isn't going to be valuable like its current form.
  4. I would project there will be more programmers in the future, but not pure programmers. More like the 1970s programmers who had other professions but would create their own programs.

They generate svg. You can paste in pngs and they'll convert them to svg with varying degrees of success.
