API keys have been routinely stolen in mass automated attacks for malicious usage long before LLMs even existed

> uninstall our software

This was a leak of keys added in a web UI

OpenCode = OpenCode CLI to most people (as seen in the dozens of comments making that assumption in this thread)

  > City centres should be designed for people first and foremost, and be a celebration of our achievements and histories, not glorified carparks.

I think a poll of local residents would find a large majority view horse drawn carriages for hire as an irritating tourist trap that if anything detracts from a "people first" city center designed for human enjoyment.

There are several model years that charged full price for FSD at sale and never received the necessary hardware upgrades.

They demoed a non-working demo of solar roof that was supposed to be a drop-in replacement for normal tiles with huge fanfare which turned out to be utterly impractical in real world usage and later quietly killed entirely.

They're seemingly talking about a motorized platform inside a restaurant delivering to "the table" not those door to door delivery robots you drop food inside that drive on the sidewalk.

Yep, the "bullshit jobs" narrative sounds like an elegant description of corporate reality at the macro level, but always seems to fall apart whenever I've seen specific examples given which do in fact serve a useful purpose when interrogated.

(Whether a role's cost/value tradeoff is actually worth it for a company is a different question than the idealized model of a "bullshit job" doing nothing useful)

The linked post points out that writing from the rationality community often spends excess time on insubstantial parts of an argument, which can actually distract focus from the truly essential reasoning and doesn't help the reader. I've read a lot from LessWrong/rationality adjacent community and agree with that observation.

I don't really see it as a question of "separating art from the artist". That's usually invoked when other aspects of the personal life of the artist has the potential to distract from the art itself.

The parent comment is closer to saying that Picasso wouldn't have been Picasso if in an alternate universe he had avoided controversial/politically charged subjects like the Spanish Civil War and instead appealed to the lowest common denominator for a mainstream commercial audience to sell postcards.

That table has classic "arbitrary LLM comparison" smell.

OpenAI has too many options that may confuse users. I don't know if I should use ChatGPT app or Codex CLI or Astra for development.

Hah, I had the exact same reaction.

So many words spent on HN articles complaining about USB-C or praising Lightning... fast forward a few years to now and I legitimately just pack one cable in my bag and charge any device I happen to bring with me.

Like many other LLM tropes they were heavily overused which attracted attention. Normal English writing doesn't average 1 em dash per 2-3 sentences like I would often see during Peak Em Dash.

They aren't a complete rarity by any means but still relatively uncommon compared to the typical punctuation one sees in routine usage.

I loved em dashes back in high school and my English teacher would have definitely returned an assignment with a lot of red marks if I used em dashes as frequently as an LLM (speaking from experience).

This only works if the UK had a bunch of ACs in the 80s but got rid of them all in the last couple decades because of some vague degrowth bogeyman.

Certainly doesn't help that AI datacenters use energy consumption as a stand-in for scale, so now the "line must go up" market growth psychology is spreading into power consumption overall as a bigger = better thing.

Great how this is currently the 2nd highest comment despite completely ignoring the numerous fingerprinting techniques based on CSS alone (including one of the most famous fingerprinting methods by testing font support). Simply thanks to reflexive "JS=bad" upvotes.

Both Android and iOS support 3rd party password managers as the passkey store. Bitwarden with passkeys works seamlessly on both my iOS and Android devices (along with MacOS, Windows, and ChromeOS).

If passkeys are intended for platform lock-in then Big Tech is doing a really bad job...

...until you login to, say, your Microsoft account on one of like 27 domains that use the same SSO and your autofill doesn't trigger so you just grumble to yourself "man I hate the modern web" and manually copy/paste it in.

Hopefully after thoroughly checking the URL but you only have two minutes before the Uber gets here and just need to get this one last thing done ASAP...

TOTP/SMS 2FA is a gigantic pain, I've probably lost multiple 24 hour days worth of time added up from entering TOTP and SMS 2FA codes dozens of times per day on websites that mandate it despite having nothing meaningful worth securing.

With passkeys I click once and I'm in like the golden age of using the web with a password manager in 2012. It's a huge quality of life improvement. If people want to avoid passkeys for whatever reason, that's fine but not interested in reading the same slippery slope argument that gets reposted every week.

A recurring issue with these critiques is how they seemingly presuppose passkeys are an all or nothing thing, and losing your passkey means losing access entirely. Which isn't how it works basically anywhere. It's just another auth method, if you can't use a passkey you fall back to whatever recovery method is offered. If passkeys became some user hostile trap overnight I'd just unenroll them and use TOTP, SMS 2FA, email 2FA, or whatever else is supported.

This seems like an absurdly unfair generalization motivated by personal bias. Is the idea supposed to be that 100% of passionate hackers blogging about reverse engineering are now subscribers to the top plans* from US AI labs? Vibe coders aren't producing any drama (or slop/spam)?

*which cost a non-trivial percentage of median salary in some parts of the world

Yes, Bitwarden definitely advertises itself as a password provider within Android's built in password/passkey manager API. I see Bitwarden appear in the list of saved passwords in the native UI along with Chrome which I have set as secondary.

Otherwise I'm not sure how Bitwarden saved passkeys could even work at all without using the native integration.

Especially for a company still in their 15 minutes of fame that could very plausibly turn out to be a one hit wonder and a trivia question in two years.

Multiplying out revenue from the peak of their mini hype cycle while a dozen well financed competitors target them directly seems extremely optimistic.

AFAIK every one of those "Waze police reports used to target cops for [bad thing]" stories fell apart under the slightest scrutiny.

Is there a specific (confirmed) case you're referencing?

I loved how Dario used to AIsplain to credulous interviewers that AI labs had invented an entirely new business model where they were always highly profitable for their current commercially available model, but training the next bigger model made it look like they were losing money.

And suggesting that maybe accounting norms should be changed so they could pretend that they were actually profitable despite the minor detail that they were consistently spending way more than they earned at any given point in time.

This was back in 2024 or so and the zeitgeist was still focused on the idea of the labs racing to AGI instead of building and selling products, with Sam Altman opining about whether money would even exist under AGI and his laughable suggestion that OpenAI might decide to give every American citizen shares in OpenAI for some reason.

If nothing else at least now they seem to be scrutinized more like regular tech megacorps instead of a sort of private yet benevolent Manhattan project of ascetic technopriests building a utopia machine.

And now they spend more time talking about building a doomsday machine that will kill you all and also show you ads.

The overwhelming majority of people of any income level will never pay to commission any kind of art or even be familiar with the possibility to consider as a practical option.

It's just not a typical thing to do pre or post AI. "Revealed preference" doesn't seem like a useful lens without some basic degree of awareness that a choice even exists.

And on the flip side, I have a friend who commissioned some kind of avatar for social media from an artist friend of friend for the first time in their life. They loved the result a lot and since then have commissioned a bunch of little random things once they realized it was a thing anyone could easily do with a few bucks. For stuff like their WoW character/guild, D&D, social media, etc.

They make less than six figures, each request was <$100 IIRC. Budgeted basically like any other gaming/hobby purchase for personal entertainment.

Am I wooshing a joke? That's 75F which is hardly cold in any season.

For summer that's right about the upper end of tolerable range if I don't want to hear the A/C starting/stopping just for a few degrees of cooling.

It's a little strange to write a comment attacking strawman "academics" with the structure of a partisan political attack ad in response to OpenAI making a mistake.

For the last few weeks I've been using Luna with Medium Reasoning for routine debugging, installing/updating dependencies, test creation/fixes, CLI/config miscellaneous problem solving, etc and it's been solid. I can let it churn away for a half hour and it barely moves the needle on remaining usage on my Plus plan. Previously I had been using Sol Low/Medium and would frequently hit the 5 hour limit doing those kind of tedious automation and routine problem solving tasks.

Physical footprint fits in limited available space, well understood turnkey commercial off the shelf solution, and lack of grid scale flexibility/redundancy to best exploit available capacity at different times of day/year.
