Anecdotal, but I have used Claude to help me write sections of games that I'm (sometimes) working on in Godot fairly recently (Opus 4.5 iirc). It's been very helpful, and it's been…

Malware is very easy to build. Competent threat actors don't need to rely on open source software, and incompetent ones can buy what they use from malware authors who sell their st…

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something, but you can add filters to RSS feeds. What is proposed is pretty much just RSS, except for one specific item. Yes, it's more work on your side…

Neat, but isn't packing all this stuff into a bash script overkill? You can pretty easily install and configure some good tools (i.e. crowdsec, rkhunter, ssh tarpit or whatever) to…

I'm not sure how valid most of these points are. A lot of the latency in an agentic system is going to be the calls to the LLM(s). From the article: """ Agents typically have a num…

Easy example is Stripe. You can enable 3DS, and you can listen for 'early_fraud_warning' events on a webhook to refund users & close accounts to avoid chargebacks and all the assoc…

If I am in a call with someone using Nomi, can I send a message in the call or wherever to disable it, or will I have to ask the person using it to turn it off?

I don't mean to imply that it's a solved problem; all I'm saying is that in a lot of cases, the "weak initial retrieval" assertion stated by the article is not true. And if you can…

I agree. > "The real challenge in traditional vector search isn't just poor re-ranking; it's weak initial retrieval. If the first layer of results misses the right signals, no amou…

You're right, my bad. I was looking at the CDN tab and it rounds the traffic cost to 0.

It sounds like you might be looking at the wrong place. There's services like bunny.net and cloudflare CDN (I'm not affiliated with either, but I use the former) that are really ea…

This. Normal AirTags are just fine for tracking your stuff. > "(thiefs use apps to locate AirTags around, and AirTags will warn the thief if an unknown AirTag is travelling with th…

The index page is a great way to capture emails I'm sure, but I'd like to get an idea of what the product actually does. Regardless, this seems like it could be useful, not just as…

Not sure if I'm allowed to link to stuff, but you can find a bunch of alternatives to offerings like these (the most basic being google alerts), both free and paid, if you look for…

> I ended up turning that process into its own product: https://sparkflow.ai/ That implies that the product is ready, which it does not seem to be? The product does seem interestin…

How can you call this 'Absolute Zero' if you need to start with a pretrained LLM? From what I understand, this just proposes that you can take an existing LLM, have it generate tas…

According to the article, the CEO sold stock, and gifted stock to at least four trusts that have, in turn, sold the stock gifted: > Subsequent filings from four trusts show that ab…

Props to the author if it is. I'd have a link to donate to a food bank after the article so that people can do something more productive than write angry comments.

> "Despite skepticism from Volcker and Buffet, financial innovation has been and will continue to be a massive net positive for humanity." I'm not an economist by any means, but mo…

Is there a reason for using Selenium over something like Playwright? I haven't had very many positive experiences with selenium, and playwright I found is easier to use and more fl…

Agreed with basically the entire article. Also happy to hear that someone else was as bewildered as me when they visited the MCP site and they found nothing of substance. RFCs can …

I love the radio, that's a great touch.

>scratch-built in Rust _all the way down to handcrafted GPU shaders and OS graphics API calls_ Is this what happens to people who choose to learn Rust? Joking aside, this is intere…

I don't think that this is a fair comparison. HTTP actually has a specification that you need to follow if you need the web to _work_ (or at least, look good). MCP and others on th…
