    Sometimes it feels like we're living in an episode of Silicon Valley, the show.

    Well I don't think the position of planets when you're born has a large correlation to how your life will go. On the other hand, how an AI writes will have a big correlation to whe…

    I just feel like, from the POV of AI companies, that reducing the amount of em dashes they use to "blend in" more and talk more human-like, for the sake of being less detectable, w…

    That just proves that perfect classification is impossible. Classification doesn't need to be 100% accurate to be useful.

    The 80% accuracy from the article would be one reason to believe there's significant correlation, no?

    Why would sounding human be a goal rather than a byproduct of trying to communicate efficiently?

    The problem seems to be deeper rooted. Cursor doesn't see cloning a repo with Cursor and code execution as separate security boundaries. Cursor ships with Workspace Trust disabled …

    You're right, looks like they changed it, though Task should still work. > In version 2.1.63, the Task tool was renamed to Agent. Existing Task(...) references in settings and agen…

    True. For Claude Code, I disabled explore subagents globally by adding this to ~/.claude/settings.json: "permissions": { "deny": [ "Task(Explore)" ] }

    "LGTM" That'll be $50 — please.

    Ehh, AI makes plenty mistakes but they have a different vibe to it. In my mind an AI would do something the most popular way even when that's not appropriate. A human might do thin…

    Maybe they added the comments to get a longer payload for the sake of the shirt's design. The comments can be more cute/awe inspiring for people who aren't as familiar with bash bu…

    I don't think it was written by an LLM, some things stand out: The congratulations text is both in English and Japanese. Contains a single heart emoji. There was an intention to ha…

    Sounds like a convenience feature for a dev that they forgot to remove before distribution, since it's this poorly hidden.

    Use cases range from sending 100s of requests per second just to bring a website down to doing a montly request to a municipality's endpoint to get a local dashboard of when trash …

    If a vulnerability disclosure program has a good track record of paying out, and legitimate reports get refunded, why not? Again, the alternative might be shutting down the program…

    Have you considered requiring a small payment for vulnerability disclosure? Refund it on payout. This should be very effective at deterring spammers. It also sucks for real reports…

    Both sides are not looking too pretty here.

    Having their business transparent makes sense but by restricting people's personal lives like this would disincentivize good people from rising to power, which is not what we want.…

    People connect through cellphones more on weekends, and cellular has higher IPv6 usage.

    > AI makes it cheap to write code. That is not the same as it being cheap to ship it, or to maintain it. One participant put it cleanly: cognitive debt is the new technical debt. I…

    I think the differentiator is whether someone cares about what they build or not. Someone who doesn't care wouldn't produce masterpieces without AI, and using AI isn't going to pre…

    Wow hang on, I'm suggesting to use AI as a code writing aid, not to increase scope until owning the design becomes unreasonable.

    You can't, so you do read the code.

    Own the design and let AI write the code. Spend the extra free time on becoming a better/broader architect.
