Joke's on you, I'm going to do the same thing but only charge $5. Sucker!

It's cool that OP is enthused by engineering, it's a cool little thing they made, and it's great that the next generation of mechanical engineers are starting out seeing software a…

Public servants should neither ask for nor expect either?

Assuming the providers are compromised (and I agree that some of them probably are) then I doubt the angle taken will be to poison the product. That kind of thing usually gets noti…

That link is mentioned in the article. To quote it: > Connection to localhost has also been the source of exploit where app are using that socket to adbd to escalate their privileg…

The most important pieces of information in this report are (a) the confirmation that the PRC models have no guardrails and will participate in offensive activity, and (b) the conf…

You, and may of the people in the thread here are at cross purposes, I think. The CVE mentioned in the article is https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-0073 . That's a real CVE…

> The job of an operations team is to keep all of this in steady state. They know which racks run hot in summer, which cooling loops have been flaky since the last firmware update,…

Because it's correct but irrelevant. It tells you about as much about the utility of LLMs as the statement "humans are just overpowered tree shrews" tells you about us.

> After 15 minutes of confusion, it turned out Cloudflare had put a crazy robots.txt on my site without my consent (Cloudflare, love you guys, but this needs to stop). That's a har…

I don't disagree, but remember the lesson of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224 -- historically, people have been willing to pay for convenience.

To me it seems like a first-year physics scaling laws problem. To get linear improvements in capability, you appear to need need exponential (or at least superlinear) increases in …

You're not using them wrong at all. Part of the reason LLMs are good at writing code is that they're good at understanding code. You're just not using the full menu of capabilities…

You're looking at the status quo and ignoring the trajectory. The best current open models are about as good as closed models from ~1.5 generations ago. The rate of improvement of …

Working regularly with AI is like managing a small team of unbelievably knowledgeable, very smart, and occasionally crashingly naïve junior developers. Because they're so knowledge…

That article says calendar ageing was the dominant ageing mechanism for batteries in their test vehicle, because said vehicle spent 96% of its life stationary. Unless I'm missing i…

I think we can't rule out the explanation that all the ideas of space data centers could have been connected solely to a desire to pump SpaceX's IPO.

If the leadership of a company aren't the right people to make decisions about what that company does, who is? Are you advocating for legislation? How would that work?

Ah yes, Pierre will surely have no issues paying for his baguette et croissant by filling in the boulangerie's IBAN on his mobile phone and waiting 15 minutes for them to check rec…

Is BYD beating Kia here in the UK? It's hard to tell from the SMMT figures [1] but it looks to me as if Kia sold just under twice as many vehicles as BYD. Given that so much of Kia…

That statement from La Liga is nothing short of embarrassing. Raving about child pornography, in a simple copyright infringement case? And the repeated focus on "IPs" is incredibly…
