Re write the assistant message and see how easy it is to bypass a system prompt. How far do you have to stretch to get a human analogue? Short term amnesia?

Your example actually demonstrates why anthropomorphism is a bad idea. LLMs are vulnerable to classes of attacks that humans just aren’t. In your framework, the way to prevent atta…

The fact that mathematicians cannot devise a method to factor that large product, despite large amounts of money and research time, is what’s valuable! But even then your argument …

In cities the benefits don’t necessarily outweigh the risks yet cities are designed entirely around cars in many places to their detriment.

Yep. I was timed when working at the drive through at a fast food restaurant.

What I found comfort it in was turning the crank and then using extra time to upskill in various other things (including non software dev domains). Things that weren’t immediately …

As a car driver, you should understand a little about how your car works. What if you get a flat tire? At the very least, you should know not to drive on that flat tire. Software i…

So first of all, usability features are security features. There is the classic example of an uncrackable 18 character random password string that only results in frequent password…

All the senior developers I have worked with are absolutely allergic to coming into the office, working closely with junior developers, and in general talking to people. Whereas ju…

This just sounds like a bug. Haven’t delved too deep into it technically though. Anyway flawed implementation doesn’t mean that hardware attestation is a fundamentally useless prim…

My banking app already trusts Face ID right now!

I mean it’s a free country either way then. Elastic can change the licensing and Amazon is then free to compete with a fork of the software pre-licensing change. Amazon doesn’t rea…

What about Apple Wallet? The reality is that there is software dependent on the user being unable to modify it. This safeguards the server against fraudulent users.

The whole point of UUIDv4 is that you don't need to check if it's conflicting and can just use them right away. This falls apart if you let untrusted sources of UUIDv4's enter your…

>Competition. If I ask my OS-level AI assistant to find a social media reel about a elephant dancing, the social media app that exposes a set of APIs for an AI agent might get used…

If you’re a manager you have people under you that care about the code they write and the direction of the company, not typewriter monkeys.

"Miserable" is subjective obviously. If you're regularly working evenings and weekends at your high paying law firm, I'd characterize that as miserable. If you're living cheaply in…

This is cool! I'd love if you could explain the issues you had with CSP and serving content. I was just tinkering around with MCP Apps the other day, and I had a really hard time s…

Pricing is way too good to be true? If they’re claiming a 4 month engagement, this would be much more believable if they actually charged a reasonable price for those 4 months.

Didn’t got 5.5 just come out lol. Am I just reading slop on this website?

If the business doesn’t grow then you shed costs like employees

I absolutely feel like there has been an explosion of software since the release of AI tools. This is a subjective assessment anyway… My company for example has gotten 500% better …

Claude Code allows subsidized access to Anthropic's models! The product quality doesn't really matter, which is an argument FOR vibe coding sure, but only in cases where software q…

I guess they weren't expecting a leak of the source code? It's very handy to have as much as possible available in the codebase itself.

You need both to be a great software engineer. The "means to an end" people will happily slop out PRs and let the "craft" people worry about it.
