tempaccount420on Claude Code sends your email address to websites

Some websites will return an error if you send a request to them without a User-Agent - for example, crates.io does this. Curl doesn't send a User-Agent by default.

Then, your agent invents a User-Agent and it sometimes invents one with your email in it.

It doesn't even require prompt injection or a failed request, it might be in the agent's pretraining knowledge that a given website requires a user-agent.

I had this happen with requests to crates.io, because crates.io rejects all requests without a User-Agent (and it knows this inherently, it's not any prompt injection), so the model has to invent one, and often it invents one with your email address in it...

This is a dangerous (and common) misconception about the immune system.

> Bend 2 is here!

> It is a new programming language that blocks AI mistakes via proof checking - the same technique big AI labs used to >solve open math problems, like Navier-Stokes.

> It is also very fast, and runs on GPUs.

It's faster to have it in the runtime in native code.

You have more options, not less, you can still use the external dependencies.

tempaccount420on Incident with Github.com [resolved]

Why haven't we all moved off GitHub yet?

Or let me ask a more useful question: if we were to move, then to where? Ideally somewhere new (not Gitlab)

tempaccount420on GitHub Actions and Pages are experiencing degraded availability

They're one rewrite in Rust away from fixing everything. (jk)

Just how badly are these AI companies setting up their sandboxes?

tempaccount420on Codex starts encrypting sub-agent prompts

Last stage is moving everyone to their cloud platforms, they deploy everything for you, you don't even get to see the code, just the deployed end product.

Because letting you look at the code would be too dangerous, you could reverse engineer an exploit to another product! Or distill their internet-distilled model!

But don't worry, at least it will be very convenient.

There can be, you don't know if the closed source models aren't using something like DeepSeek's Engram.

IMO, there isn't much space left to fill that Rust couldn't already fill.

tempaccount420on DeepSeek V4 Pro beats GPT-5.5 Pro on precision

It's not discounted pricing anymore, it's the regular pricing.

I'm surprised if that works, given how Anthropic trains to reject any fun prompts

tempaccount420on Three of our worst VC stories

There are more important things than money.

tempaccount420on Gemini 3.5 Flash

This is not priced at inference cost.

My guess: it's the price at which they make more money than if they rent the TPUs to other companies.

The Gemini team has had trouble securing enough TPUs for their user's needs. They struggle with load and their rate limits are really bad. Maybe at a higher price, they have a better chance at getting more TPUs assigned?

tempaccount420on Rewrite Bun in Rust has been merged

Don't worry, no one reviewed open source code before AI either. Basically nothing changed about the trust model.

It looks like you were spamflagged on your last comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48133806

That's wild, how are people going so crazy over a rewrite.

Federations are the worst decentralization model, they're too loosely cooperative.

Is it just me or are the Zig zealots actually somehow more annoying than Rust zealots?

It's a rate limit of 0 RPS to that endpoint

tempaccount420on Anthropic says OpenClaw-style Claude CLI usage is allowed again

I don't think anyone would want the type of user that OpenClaw users are as customers...

There will be a time for OpenClaw, but in the current world with limited compute, that time is not now.

tempaccount420on DRAM pricing is killing the hobbyist SBC market

You're probably joking, but this is interesting. If we throw more RAM at AI, it can help us optimize programs to reduce our RAM needs, I haven't thought about it like that
