mrklol··on Rainbow Six Siege hacked as players get billions of credits and random bans
Somebody else said some Postgres dumps are available, not sure if they are even using mongo. But maybe mongo was the start of the chain.
mrklol··on GitLab discovers widespread NPM supply chain attack
Is there any reason to keep using postinstall scripts allowed instead of asking e.g. the user? Are they even needed in most cases?
mrklol··on uBlock Origin Lite in Apple App Store
I mean… putting the app onto the store costs a yearly fee + development costs. I don’t think the dev should pay that out of their own pocket.
mrklol··on Andrej Karpathy – It will take a decade to work through the issues with agents
I also don’t think our generation will see actual AGI, but imo the hard "intelligence“ part isn’t needed as we can use our intelligence. Using it as a tool will hopefully lead to plenty of cool things in the future.
mrklol··on Neutts-air – Open-source, on device TTS
Model says it’s only supporting English, seems like the demos on their page for other languages are using an older model as the quality is worse.

But the current one seems really good, tested it for quite a bit with multiple kind of inputs.

you could use it as an addition for e.g. chatting, emoting or whatever to look more like a human.
mrklol··on ACP Brings JetBrains on Board
I agree that we probably don’t need the conventional features in the future but about completely disappearing I am not sure.

In my mind we’re switching to a workflow where code review at the end will be the most important part.

mrklol··on Show HN: Dayflow – A git log for your day
"Records screen at 1 FPS in 15-second chunks.“

If it’s recording 15 seconds, how often are you doing that? Once every 15m as the analysis interval is 15m?

mrklol··on Grok 4 Fast
I can imagine, no model so far could actually use those context sizes…

Pricing is really good for this benchmark value. Let’s see how it holds against people testing it.
mrklol··on Want to piss off your IT department? Are the links not malicious looking enough?
I have a .co domain and noticed that some people think it’s a typo and adjust it to .com
mrklol··on Rust: A quest for performant, reliable software [video]
Not sure if I would follow that point about usability. For me usability means also how usable it is to new people. How usable is the language to a foreign person compared to e.g. Python, Go or even Java - or if you want to mention functional languages like F#?

But besides that I am totally on your side, usability is great.

Regarding Go, does Google actually "dominates“? Google has a team for the development of the language but does that mean it dominates?
mrklol··on Lessons from building an AI data analyst
But IF there’s documentation a LLM could help and find things faster than a "new“ human who isn’t familiar with all the tables. I would rather see it as a helper - maybe even more with good architecture and docs.

Doesn’t have to be profitable atm
mrklol··on Agent-C: a 4KB AI agent
Same with the browser agents, they are used in a browser where you‘re also logged into your usual accounts. Means in theory they can simply mail everyone something funny, do some banking (probably not but could work for some banks) or something else. Endless possibilities
mrklol··on Benchmarks for Golang SQLite Drivers
Afaik the fix for that is to have multiple read only connections and one write only connection.
mrklol··on AGENTS.md – Open format for guiding coding agents
I feel like as a human you should still do it like you said. But in the current state it’s advantageous to give the LLM proper instructions which are distinct to human instructions. LLMs aren’t drop in replacements for developers … yet (or never).
mrklol··on GLM-4.5: Agentic, Reasoning, and Coding (ARC) Foundation Models [pdf]
About your first point, I also feel like Claude is better if there’s more in the context where 4.5 is getting "worse".
mrklol··on Clarifying our pricing
Just switch to amp code, their agent is superior in every way. With their tooling you achieve even more although they are using the same models.

mrklol··on Pitfalls of premature closure with LLM assisted coding
"But what if the real issue is an N+1 query pattern that the index would merely mask? What if the performance problem stems from inefficient data modeling that a different approach might solve more elegantly?"

In the best case you would have to feed every important information into the context. These are my indexes, this is my function, these are my models. After that the model can find problematic code. So the main problem is go give your model all of the important information, that has to be fixed if the user isn’t doing that part (Obviously that doesn’t mean that the LLM will find a correct problem, but it can improve the results).

mrklol··on Veo 3 and Imagen 4, and a new tool for filmmaking called Flow
Just wanted to mention the latter, you don’t need all videos. It’s indeed a lot of data but doable so I am not sure if I would count this as big advantage.
mrklol··on Veo 3 and Imagen 4, and a new tool for filmmaking called Flow
Why should YouTube be here at the advantage? Every competitor also has access to these videos(?)

Yep, that’s the way to go till we have something like contact lenses :D

Somebody suggested using playlists for that on Reddit, maybe it works!
mrklol··on Search-R1: Training LLMs to Reason and Leverage Search Engines with RL
I feel like most of these services simply take your prompt and ask a model for search queries regarding that prompt. Then add the resulting pages into the context.

Mind sharing which feature?
mrklol··on Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code
Did it work?
mrklol··on My LLM codegen workflow
About the first step, you probably also need some kind of context that the LLM has most information to iterate with you about the new feature idea.

so either you put the whole codebase into the context (will mostly lead to problems as tokens are limited) or you have some kind of summary with your current features etc.

Or you do some kind of "black box" iterations, which I feel won’t be that useful for new features, as the model should know about current features etc?

What’s the way here?

mrklol··on I Use Cline for AI Engineering
Can one of these use "requests" via copilot? There are multiple usable models in copilot but it’s quite limited feature wise.
