luipugs··on How abliterated models can get you pwned
Could you link a source? Not even the weights, just the news that there was a leak. I'm chronically online and I haven't heard about this.
luipugs··on How abliterated models can get you pwned
What are you implying here? That someone has created their own LLM therefore they are running a closed weight model on their own computer? Or that someone was somehow able to get the weights of a closed commercial model (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc) and is running that on their home computer?

Stage a coup to usurp your boss.
luipugs··on Commit description as a thinking tool
I suspect there's a prompt one can add to improve the consumption of commit messages for humans, just that the default one is pretty bad. Kind of similar to the AI generated posters a few weeks back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49764791.
luipugs··on BYD Slashes Price of Electric Car and Becomes Cheapest in Australia [video]
$500,000? That's just the price for the garage.

luipugs··on The human-in-the-loop is tired
There is no art without process though. The art is the process. Is an automatic piano more beautiful than a world class pianist? Of course not.

I am not strictly equating this to coding though. Like the GP sometimes I am driven more by the product than by being able to make it by hand. But that does not mean vibe coding, I still make sure the code is up to my standards.

luipugs··on I also filed the corners off my MacBook
My very first mobile was a Bosch. I had no idea they even made phones. I wanted a Nokia though, but I was able to get that later.
