That was such a stupid coding/code review/testing mistake. Finding it is not that impressive at all. It's nothing like finding a flaw in AES

"it will be" Trying to figure out what to do based on possible future scenarios has a place, but not here when we are talking about a concrete present problem.

Not enough people are going to see this comment. It's so true!

Can we just stop posting press releases to HN?

I love where this is going. Where does the answer-machine get it's answers in this scenario? How do we double check the answer-machine's answers?

This is so real now that we have LLMs. The stuff I'm working on doesn't seem to exist in LLM training sets, but I still get tempted to try when I get tired of doing the tedious par…

"LLMs are excellent at creating output that looks right but is nevertheless still wrong." "Anthropic has a long history of just lying and making shit up" Every now and then I wonde…

Thank you for saying this! Every now and then I start to feel like I'm either the only sane person left or I must have gone insane and don't realize it. LLMs amazed us and we've be…

Plenty of people telling us not to bother reading code output by LLMs

Did it do a Google search to learn all that up to date information?

That's not news to me, but this article was a really good reminder of how awful that law is. How have we not gotten it fixed yet??

This article seems designed to alarm more than to inform. I'm left with so many questions after reading it. How long does a ship have to sit still before organisms attach to it? Ho…

I looked at the ditch use-package post and I didn't see a replacement for my favorite use-package feature: ensure. Did I miss it?

The defaults are just fine. The thing you ask for does exist in the form of spacemacs, doom emacs, and whatever other emacs "distributions" exist nowadays (I have never used one) T…

You haven't noticed how often people here on hacker news lap up LLM company press releases and practically worship them? Defend them vigorously? I think it's totally appropriate to…

Just FYI, dired without any configuring or customizing is pretty rad, especially with wdired-mode for editing filenames. You don't need to read this blog post to benefit from it. A…

I've been thinking along these lines more and more. Trying to specify exact limits and trying to account for every possible situation when making rules just encourages people to fi…

Spoiled with freedom of association and freedom of speech

Crazy that we need reminders not to take everything we read in corporate press releases and marketing material at face value

Are there any countries NOT on this blacklist?

It does because corporations, especially smaller ones competing with bigger ones, actually do get prosecuted for violating restrictions like this a lot more than individuals do.

So you'll buy the supplements I'm selling? They'll cure everything that ails you, I promise ;-)

It ended with global warming from burning too much coal. I'm not sure that's the comparison you are trying to make though

"Feynman’s quote is meant for the author of this post, not people using AI to execute better day to day." Lol! Feynman's quote is in fact for everyone. Refusing to consider that it…
