    In a true competitive Turing test, these reasoning pitfalls could be included in the system prompt, there are not that many of them. The tester would need to find a novel reasoning…

    It feels different if someone has recently been discriminated against. Jokes land differently when they are too similar to reality. That said, making edgy joking is definitely acce…

    Or atheists for that matter. I was a bit put off by the implied hostility there, even if it was in jest. It's a risky choice to jokingly discriminate based on religion, ethnicity o…

    The added value of the LLM here is probably zero. Just type a search propmt in a search engine. If the top 5 results don't cover the same ground your article is covering, at the ve…

    What would be the incentive for site owners to reduce the appeal of their site? The user has connected to the site, so there's obviously no immediate problem.

    In the video you can see that the LED lights the logo less evenly than the EL lighting. While that's not important at all, this might be the reason behind this odd choice

    A disposable sandbox wont protect you from secret exfiltration. Assuming you don't consider your code a secret, you could of course set up your sandbox so it doesn't have any secre…

    If flying ever becomes efficient energy-wise, this may happen. However, right now, flying is very energy inefficient, so anything that doesn't need to be flown, is transported over…

    The data centre runs on a dedicated power line. My laptop runs on battery. Using coding agents currently drains battery quite fast, which is surprising, given that the vast majorit…

    I feel that grouping related change in commits can be challenging, as git really presents commits as grouping in time, not topic. It is certainly possible to do topic-grouping in c…

    While i agree, the current JS security model rally doesn't allow for distinguishing origin for JS code. Should that ever change, advertisers will just require that you compile thei…

    Their own (presumably cherry picked) benchmarks put their models near the 'middle of the market' models (llama3 3b, qwen3 1.7b), not competing with claude, chatgtp, or gemini. Thes…

    Maybe the news has distorted a bit after crossing the Atlantic, but waren't there substantial outrages after the bits that couldn't be touched had in fact been touched?

    I suppose court records can function as such a list. If you also want 'alledged assholery' on that list, the list will just turn into a list of CEOs, due to false reports.

    Two things are holding back current LLM-style AI of being of value here: * Latency. LLM responses are measured in order of 1000s of milliseconds, where this project targets 10s of …

    How do you propose we measure signal? Lines of code is renowned for being a very bad measure of anything, and I really can't come up with anything better.

    From my experience, LLMs understand prompt just fine, even if there are substantial typos or severe grammatical errors. I feel that prompting them with poor language will make them…

    It is not immune, but it limits #1 and #2. The "lethal trifecta" is a limited view on security, as it's mostly concerned with leaking data. This solution focuses on a different asp…

    None of those documents reliably state my city of residence. At best they document where I once lived, but not even that is guaranteed.
