"what the server can see to support rich queries" is the whole ballgame, right? Anything queryable is metadata that can leak or be subpoenaed... membership, access patterns, query …

Right, and it's a sliding scale. People think in terms of institutions acting the way they're supposed to. As we've seen those lines can get blurry and reasons can be created to tr…

Whenever I would talk to people about the importance of privacy in data and online activity, people would always say something like "I don't care, I've got nothing to hide. I'm not…

I have had it with these mother Fn keys on this mother Fn keyboard!!

Maybe this is heretical in today's AI hype climate but...weirdly due to the rise of AI, then AI-slop polluting everything, a lot of old fundamentals are coming back. Clear, well-st…

The thread keeps smushing two separate questions into one. "Can these companies hit the revenue they need to justify the capex" and "are the tools actually useful day to day" are d…

"LLM evals" is maybe an overused term because it can mean a bunch of things. This article talks about LLM-as-a-judge where an LLM scores another system's outputs.

Yeah people are just coming around to practicality.

This is crazy. It narrated the failure in real time, naming the exact safety rules it was overriding. Then says "NEVER FUCKING GUESS!" Ha, we need to figure out better guardrails..…

I use it for moving SSH keys, VPN configs, and .env files between my laptop and a work machine. Obviously don't want that sitting in dropbox, pasted into Slack, etc. Localsend on t…

Hey...interesting idea and definitely trying to solve a legit problem. With the human-in-the-loop aspect of it, is there any timeout or retry logic? Otherwise, the agent's sitting …

I feel like a core of this is that agents aren't exactly a replacement for a junior developer like some people say. A junior dev has its own biases, predispositions, history and un…

Blaming "AI-accelerated tradecraft" for a breach that started with an OAuth token hijack from a compromised Google account is...interesting. The attacker didn't need AI they needed…

OpenAPI spec indexing is a good idea...semantic search is good for general API questions, but often sucks at specific questions about exact requirements for fields, etc. We've buil…

Tech pivoting from innovation to simply selling ads is often a last gasp. Couldn't figure out how to monetize so....ADS!

Honestly I think you can tell pretty quickly if a company or person is approaching AI from the viewpoint of accelerating development and innovation or just looking to do the same a…

Most of this thread is about protecting keys on a single developer's machine, but the problem gets way harder when you're managing credentials across customer tenants... env vars a…

PayPal benchmark is a smart way to launch this I think...showing real numbers on a recognizable API gives people something concrete to evaluate against. The 65% token reduction is …
