Gasoline + LOX beats TNT on energy density per unit mass and per unit volume, no? There's a reason that kerosene+h2o2 is a classic rocket fuel, and TNT is not.

You can treat the LLM's answers ass hypotheses about why it did what it did, and test those hypotheses. The hypotheses the LLM comes up with might be better than the ones you come …

I think if you're vibe coding to the extent that you don't even know the shapes of data your system works with (e.g. the schema if you use a database) you might be outsourcing a bi…

Don't. The first 500 or so tokens are raw thinking output, then the summarizer kicks in for longer thinking traces. Sometimes longer thinking traces leak through, or the summarizer…

Ideally it is common knowledge that the onion service exists, and then people can go look at the onion service and update Wikipedia based on what they see there.

Would be fairly easy for them to offer an onion service on which they publish the current list of domains, as one option among many, many options for distributing small strings on …

Did that happen to a lot of companies during the log4shell fiasco? I'm sure some companies had their permissions misconfigured in a way such that a malicious actor who could execut…

Claude Code's main advantage is that it's the only TOS-compliant way to access subscription Claude tokens, which cost about 10% as much as pay-as-you-go Claude API tokens.

What specific thing(s) are you worried that USD will take a dive relative to? Then once you have an answer to that question, that might point you towards what you want to be long.

Pinning the tag will not save you - the tags were force-pushed. The cooldown probably did save you but you should check for the indicators of compromise listed on the security advi…

Noted and sent. Thanks for all your hard work.

FWIW I think the 30u30 to fraud pipeline is overstated. There are 600 people on the American Forbes 30u30 list every year (it's "30 under 30 each year in each of 20 categories"), w…

Trivy (a very widely-used security scanner) was recently compromised. Anyone who installed the aquasecurity/trivy-action dependency by tag rather than by sha during a 3 hour period…

I've had quite a bit of luck with using AI-assisted tooling for some specific workflows, and very little luck with others. To the extent that there's a trend[^1], it seems to be th…

It definitely comes up if you're just reviewing an already-"completed" PR. Even if you're not going to ship AI-generated code to prod (and I think that's a reasonable choice), it's…

Low hundreds ($190 for me) but yes.

The following by "Claude Slopson" (Claude Opus asked to write an answer that was obviously AI) scored 87% authentic: > Ah, what a fantastic question > For me, it's Breaking Bad–and…

I doubt you'd need to build and hype your own, just find a popular already-existing one with auto-update where the devs automatically try to solve user-generated tickets and hijack…

That's how they did "build an AI app" back when the claude.ai coding tool was javascript running in a web worker on the client machine.

1.3x when working on a large janky which codebase I am very familiar with, very unevenly distributed. - Writing new code it's probably 3x or so[1]. - Writing automated tests for re…

Anthropic was founded by a group of 7 former OpenAI employees who left over differences in opinions about AI Safety. I do not see any public documentation that the specific differe…

... I am pretty sure that the name "Anthropic" is as in "principle" not as in "pertaining to human beings".

Same story, I think. Well-paid positions at sensible low drama companies are filled quickly, while companies with glaring issues may interview and make offers to dozens of candidat…

It's also not limited to words pronounced poetically. Some words where both variants are common, like "wicked", have different numbers of syllables depending on meaning. e.g. Beads…
