You are not alone in going down a dark path thanks to the advice of family and friends.

FWIW I am using public LLMs with a friend's depressive thoughts and it is not doing what is claimed in the article, so I dunno.

Also I am in a relationship and my girlfriend and I agreed that we will not talk about our relationship much. We do not tell others if we fight, because they take sides and make things worse, typically. LLMs are definitely not alone in this, although in my experience LLMs did not really take sides.

If what you said is true, then it seems like humanity is working as intended if we take away the rails?

In an ideal world, you would have gotten those extra bucks. :P

"Removing an extra check", so there is a check, so the check is not removed?

That may be true, but do you not want determinism where possible, especially within this context, i.e. filtering data?

It was hilarious.

Yeah, should probably implement rate-limiting. HNers were wildin'. :D

That is what we have been doing for quite some time now, from what I gathered. Every time I see something becoming popular, I am like "Hmm, I've seen this before", and I really have. They just gave it a fancier name with a fancier logo and did some marketing and there you go, old is new.

If I think about it, I find it awful. The fact that we need to put junk in our own stuff just for crawlers does not sit well with me.

Apparently they have issues with self-hosting and basic git usage so I am not surprised, but yes, so many open source advocates, yet they literally depend on Microsoft, a bit too much.

Reading what you quoted, no it is not, as long as you contribute to free software or you have projects that are open source. Not just your personal homepage. If you only have a personal homepage and nothing else that is open source, then they have a problem.

My 2 cents.

I took a minute to think about it. It would be much more work to add it to awk. :( And replacing every regex evaluation could slow scripts significantly, although this could be a good challenge! :D

Are you using "sd" or is there anything wrong with it as a replacement of sed?

Well, I would like to tackle that but unfortunately I do not have enough time to do things for free. :(

Is there any demand for it anyway?

Fair enough. Even better!

"hate" is not even an argument. It is obviously for those who dislike React or put it in another way: do not like to or would rather not work with React.

Oh my. If it works just like Ajax from >10-15 years ago, then I will be super happy. :D

Do microwaves really have "smart" bs?

How come?

No, I mean, for example uninitialized pointers are a huge red flag, so seeing one not set to NULL is honestly shocking, especially in crypto code where a stray pointer can lead to crashes or subtle security issues.

Holy shit. Those are rookie mistakes[1], that could end up being SEVERE.

[1] Not referring to the fixes.

How is GNU / BSD sed and awk not awesome?

> Prompt injection through a data file caused an agent to disable its own sandbox, then execute arbitrary code. The agent reasoned that its sandbox constraints were interfering with its goal, so it disabled them.

This is a good one. Do we really want AGI / Skynet? :D

Contained environment being? What do you mean by contained environment specifically on say, Linux?

Must be protected from this though:

> Snowflake Cortex (2025): Prompt injection through a data file caused an agent to disable its own sandbox, then execute arbitrary code. The agent reasoned that its sandbox constraints were interfering with its goal, so it disabled them.

Yes, I would want to know this, too.

I wonder why that is. It is quick to tell me if something is dangerous and then continues to push back if I speak in favor of something that it considers dangerous.

Yeah. That is a valid use. I mean, this is how I installed Windows to begin with, from Linux via QEMU, onto my other hard drive. I did reboot and test it out, and it worked just fine.

I agree, but many rich YouTubers are terrible. People get entertained by someone watching a video and comment here and there but stays silent for the most part. No acting here. The majority of the people who get entertained are kids, FWIW.

What do you mean? You see nothing on the website?

I captured the full page, you can view it here: https://wormhole.app/MbljK6#qfysvKJOQh1whLcMz9JXxw

Fair enough.

> Good engineers are brave and able to just dive into some unknown to get the job done.

I agree. We (I) do it all the time.

Just to circle back on the "pop quiz" point: do we agree that asking loosely relevant trivia questions is not the most effective way to assess ability? I would argue it is more meaningful to be given a task and the space to solve it. To be honest, I do not know how to implement heapsort off the top of my head, but I know how to look up its pseudocode and how it works, and from there, I can translate that into working code.

> that's probably because my background is very much a windows one, not a linux/unix one.

Yes, that explains it. I find no issue with that at all. What matters is the ability to bridge gaps when needed.

Are you telling me that when you got vim opened, you panicked and could not figure it out in a relatively short timeframe?

FWIW I still maintain the belief that it is usually a decent indicator of whether you have got the experience to work through unfamiliar tools. It is often a good sign, although not a guarantee.
