"tried all 2¹⁷ values of the 17" - so bruteforce?

This could apply to any two systems that don't follow the same standard. not really a security issue, but the moral of the story is makes sure all components of your system use the same standard.

Cool work. I tried using LLMs to parse sheet music and they are really bad.

I'm stupid and clearly too stupid to google too. Is bun simply a better nodejs? Assuming it true that all of Claude code is now written by AI, why would AI care about using bun over node?

I'm almost 100% sure the Trump government will taco, or not enforce the rule so that it doesn't matter.

IMO this is all just great marketing. The government needs to keep the hype for AI going as long it can cause so much of the economy and stocks depend on it now. Unless they have cracked RSA or something, no model warrants such a restriction, period. Mythos has already been used by the likes of Microsoft, Linux etc. If no big security gaps were found there, what is the government so afraid of?

I use Opus everyday on my code. It finds security gaps, but nothing outrageous, and that's coming from someone who writes code that is nowhere near weapons grade secure. It finds mostly things that are technically bugs, but virtually intractable for exploits. Often things I overlooked cause I was lazy, like not synchronizing access to a shared pointer etc.

This is one of the best marketing stunts I've ever seen for any product. That Anthropic IPO will print like crazy.

I'll never understand using AI/bot for customer support. IG is a well know platform. If I have an issue I feel pressed to connect with a support agent about it very likely is something a bot would struggle with, otherwise I'd just google. I understand there some grandmas who can do a google search, but the vast majority of folks reaching out for support are doing so because they have a real issue that can't be simply automated.

Furthermore, having a bot handle a hacked account is support ticket is just insane. Why tf would you put a bot there and give it permission to take action?

I'm old. currently in npm dependency hell on my side project. wtf is bun and will switching to it save me?

yeah this story smells funny. Also, given the popularity of the post, wouldn't their son immediately know it's them? If I truly wanted advice, I would hide the sordid details. I think it's a fantastic piece of creative writing.

It's understandable and even desirable that a new piece of code rapidly evolves as they iterate and fix bugs. I'd only be concerned if they keep this pattern for too long. In the early phases, I like keeping up with all the cutting edge developments. Projects where dev get afraid to ship because of breaking things end up becoming bloated with unnecessary backward compatibility.

Yeah strategy is weird. PyTorch and llama 1-3 were strong successes. Llama 4 was a dud but that happens sometimes. Google fumbles a few times before Gemini too. What I don’t get is why they didn’t prioritize those projects. They weren’t making money, but it was a solid start and a good way to get a foothold in the game. Instead they’ve gone balls deep in slop bullshit.

yes those are bottlenecks that world models don't solve. but the promise of world models is, unlike LLMs, they might be able to learn things about the world that humans haven't written. For example, we still don't fully know how insects fly. A world model could be trained on thousands of videos of insects and make a novel observation about insect trajectories. The premise is that despite being here for millenia, humans have only observed a tiny fraction of the world.

So I do buy his idea. But I disagree that you need world models to get to human level capabilities. IMO there's no fundamental reason why models can't develop human understanding based on the known human observations.

European politicians got a big imagination lol. arent there real actual problems over their they should be fixing?

My 2017 macbook is basically brick. Crazy how just opening chrome sets off fans like a jet engine. How much cpu can checking gmail really use?

Foolish me is considering buying a new macbook this year. I have no choice because Apple and Microsoft will do everything in their power to ship the shittiest personal computing products every year.

Why are Samsung so big on the folding phone nonsense?

Always negotiate no matter what. If you get an offer, it means the company WANTS you for something. Experience, skillset etc use that as leverage. Yeah, the market is tough but there's no harm in trying.

why tf would a supermarket depend on Azure? Payment processing isn't their thing

have used both. I prefer Azure. Much easier to use. found GCP unintuitive.

I work on social apps. The central issue with dating apps is incentives. The incentives to form long-term relationships go directly against profit. The incentives for the individual go against what's best for the group. There's a lot of prisoners dilema issues.

The only way I think to have a dating app that works is to have it run by non-profit with rational matching algorithms not geared towards profit maximization.

"If you want to write like Rust, just write Rust". Exactly. No reason not to. RIP cpp

But generally, work has gotten way less physically demanding so it balances out. Tech allows you to work in via Zoom in the comfort of your home. I hope to be coding literally till the day I die.

I'm going to get downvoted for this, but it makes sense. People live much longer than in the past. Advancements in fitness and the decline in birthrates only make it fair for us to work a little longer. Ultimately, what I hope for is AI to take care of most of the heavy work and allow us more leasiurely time, but we are still decades away from getting their.

Threads is a good product. My twitter feed is dumpster fire of right wing politics and rage baity post. Threads has been much more balance. Open the app and have a good time.

People have been trying to make Bluesky happen for years. It won't. I believe moderation is fundamental to any social network, otherwise the bad actors always take over. Meta has been content moderation for years and understands the nuances.

People seek "Political discourse", but they will quickly realize our politics are too much of shit-show to have any kind of intellectual conversation. The rage bait and culture wars have taken over. Important discussions of policy, small vs big govt, taxes have taken the backseat. Our "politics" are no longer politics, and won't be for at least the next 4-8 years.

I''m curious. Do you think it makes sense to treat an American company - one of the biggest btw, that pays taxes and creates jobs - the same way as a foreign company?

To me startups just inherently have a bigger carrot at the end of the stick. being an early engineer in a successful startup can bring life-changing money. In a 1T company with 100,000 of engineers it just isn't possible to have that incentive. your best work is often a drop in the ocean that some VP will shelve at the fist sign of trouble. Yeah working weekends can get you that promotion quicker and give a salary bump, but it's not the same as watching the company IPO and becoming an engineer overnight.

Listened to the first few mins. Did he say anything controversial in the? The part about Google work-life balance isn't that big a deal. It's no secret that startups grind more.
