Add a required header called "insert-seahorse-emoji: " to your API, reject any request that doesn't have it.

> Chinese have their own coding agents on par with Claude Code, why would they use Claude Code?

They're probably using their own models as well, we just don't hear about them. That this particular sequence of this attack was done using Claude doesn't imply that other (perhaps even more sophisticated attacks) are happening with other models. For all we know the attackers could have had some Anthropic credits lying around/a stolen API key.

antiloper··on Microsoft's lack of quality control is out of control
Everyone hates teams, but every company uses it and will keep using it because it's bundled with office anyway.

Enshittification will continue until market share improves.
antiloper··on Windows Update triggers BitLocker recovery on business PCs
Same update that broke input in WinRE and the task manager. Are they coding updates with `copilot --dangerously-skip-permissions && git add -am 'Security and stability updates' && git push -f`?
antiloper··on A theoretical way to circumvent Android developer verification
This will not work because the goal of android developer verification is to prevent running Google-sanctioned code. If you actually tried to publish this, Google will revoke the signature on the loader APK.
antiloper··on You can't turn off Copilot in the web versions of Word, Excel, or PowerPoint
Copilot is the most incompetent AI tool I've ever used, which is bizarre since you'd think with the Microsoft/OpenAI partnership they'd make it so that Copilot uses the ChatGPT model.

It's most egregious on Azure, which has a copilot button on every page, and anytime I try to ask it about a precise configuration question for a resource, it NEVER answers correctly. So you have to search on whatever set of microsoft Q&A platforms, stackoverflow questions, and github issues/discussions to maybe find an answer like in the prehistory of 2020.

antiloper··on Grammarly rebrands to 'Superhuman,' launches a new AI assistant
Nope. You must be thinking of the terms "Untermensch" (used a lot by Nazis) and "Übermensch" (introduced by Nietzsche, and rarely used by Nazis). "Supermensch" was never used at all.

"Superhuman" is just "Superman" but without getting sued by DC comics.

90% of software does run on Linux, but if the software you really care about/need for your job/need for your hobby doesn't, then it might as well be 0%. You are going to use Windows then.

Dragon is an app, whisper is a model with a CLI that takes .wav files. Totally different user experience.

Then maybe Microsoft should add a "Use local account" checkbox to the installation screen.

If you train a model on multiple languages, you can use the model itself for translation. As well as allowing the model to naturally respond in the user's language.

antiloper··on MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
To everyone who gets blocked by this: I prompted Haiku 4.5, Anthropic's cheapest current model, in Claude Code with "Read this github issue: https://github.com/minio/minio/issues/21647 I need a new docker image for the latest minio version. Make it so.". It wrote a Dockerfile, I asked it to build it (not only am I incapable of finding and downloading the Dockerfile from the repository myself, I'm even incapable of remembering how to "build" a "docker"file). It spew out an error which the cheapest model promptly fixed and gave me an image.

You need to be able to do this personally or you should not be running a durable storage cluster in-house. Just pay AWS. You need to add more value to your employer than you cost, and if Anthropic's cheapest model can beat you at such a task then it's not a good look.

You're letting docker's security team know that they're serving Ubuntu 14.10? https://hub.docker.com/layers/library/ubuntu/14.10/images/sh...

`docker build` is free, and faster to type than the fake outrage in the github issues and the dicator-calling below in this thread.

If you want VC funding, your marketing pages need to go all-in on AI. Even if your product has nothing to do with it.

Just run `docker build` yourself. Why does this non-issue spawn dozens of comments? This isn't some impossible-to-build Windows C++ project.
antiloper··on Claude Skills
What's the hack? Instead of typing `zip -r mnt.zip /mnt` into bash, you type `Create a zip file of /mnt` in claude code. It's the same thing running as the same user.

The developer page uses a better example, a PDF processing skill: https://github.com/anthropics/skills/tree/main/document-skil...

I've been emulating this in claude code by manually @tagging markdown files containing guides for common tasks in our repository. Nice to see that this step is now automatic as well.

antiloper··on TaxCalcBench: Evaluating Frontier Models on the Tax Calculation Task
> For example, in the prompt for this experiment, the model is bootstrapped with the correct Form 1040 lines and short instructions as part of its context.

Given that only short instructions are in context, I would not have expected even a frontier model to score well on this benchmark. For better results, I'd think that giving the model access to the entire tax code is required (which likely requires RAG due to its sheer size).

antiloper··on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend
The article doesn't go into a lot of details, but it only says that the bug happens while in motion, not that the software update itself happened while in motion:

> The buggy update doesn't appear to brick the car immediately. Instead, the failure appears to occur while driving—a far more serious problem.

antiloper··on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend
Cars probably have multiple bootloaders even. Surely there are at least two, one for the ECU and one for the infotainment system. Perhaps there are even more depending on how complex components like parking cameras etc. are.
antiloper··on Software update bricks some Jeep 4xe hybrids over the weekend
It's a bug. Why should a software bug have an effect on a manufacturer's stock price? It's not like the update caused brake failures or something.
