I remember in the early 2010s we used to get so much food off deliverance to the office We found out you could add a negative tip and it would discount it off the price, but no one…

Now please do one to replace the MBA executive that gets hired to restructure the engineering team, asking for a friend.

Spanish is certainly an easy language to learn, but it’s a very hard language to master. I’m a native Spanish speaker and I find English poetry much easier to understand, English i…

to be fair, the title is very misleading, it took me a minute to understand what they meant

The title is a bit confusing, they're not using ciphertext for inference – they're passing ciphertext around in cases where an agent calls into another agent without exposing the p…

As a counterpoint to all the negative comments here, it’s entirely possible the CTO knows it’s gonna take x time to get your company laptop, which precisely because it’s a regulate…

There are reliable ways of differentiating human from cheap, bulk scraping bots. But if the bot is advanced / expensive enough, it gets a lot harder. Where this product's market si…

Yeah, to be fair is not the norm and was mostly due to the AI crypto craze which drove their token price up so they ended up adding very big rewards Even in LLM jailbreak CTFs I've…

I saw this thing when it was launched, but IIRC the reward was tiny (like $100?) so it wasn't worth exposing a good prompt for For comparison, I won a similar prompt injection chal…

Data engineers hate this one simple trick

I've used that with companies I consult for, everyone thinks they should do what Google does, so sometimes I'll drop them the "your whole company data fits in my phone/laptop" line…

This is nice, but I don't see much of a difference between just asking claude to write a wrangler config to push to cf pages, which can be extremely simple name: my-cool-pages-proj…

Yeah I guessed that one right because xylophone player sounded like a trap. I don't understand how they rank words though, some extremely common words like xenophobia were ranked a…

Yeah I got 75k~ and did something similar ... most of the expert and grandmaster ones had at least 1 or 2 obvious incorrect answers, then it was a 50/50 so I usually went for the t…

It'd also be a lot less awkward to go through 100 words if it had keyboard shortcuts (1-4 for the words, enter to submit) and if they fixed the layout shift jank

I disagree, a lot of the time people buy "serious BI tools" precisely because they think they need all that power and complexity. In reality, what most people need is much simpler,…

I went with eero and really wish I'd gone with unifi Apart from the shitty software and basic features either missing or locked behind a monthly cost, the network itself is not bad…

That seems reasonable, I don't buy NAS for datacenters (just run a modest 80tb one for my home lab) but equivalent rackmount 16-bay ones from other vendors would be more expensive …

I think there are unknowns in the calculation: - What are the margins of Anthropic over their API pricing? Without this, all we're saying is the API is more expensive for heavy usa…

This is true for a lot of subscriptions though: some people use 100% of their mobile plan data, some people use 10% – the price accounts for this.

I get that, but the drawbacks outweigh the benefits imho and the b64 overhead is not solved, just deferred. Say I want to distribute an hmml file as a single file, I'd have to crea…

I don't understand the advantage of this vs an html file with embedded images, except the latter would work with no runtime.

I like orbstack in theory, but I find it hard to justify a $96/yr license fee for something that has so many open source, free alternatives. As it is, I’d rather use podman or coli…

Back in the day I wrote a PoC exploit for my employers app that abused an image upload api by embedding a jar file inside an svg as XXE which then got me RCE. Fun times.

It is, it asks you if you want to continue as opus 4.8… but I was trying precisely to evaluate fable
