So Claude spit out similar code in response to similar prompts? Did Claude also suggest the same name twice?

There seems to be one category of technological "attack", which failed - the script injections. Otherwise: OK: A guy insults the Tailwinds devs at length Not OK: Anyone insults tha…

Rationalist nerds used to talk about putting the AI in a box, and their fear that it would always be able to talk someone into letting it out of the box. I don't think I saw them c…

I don't know if I fell for it - my response was "LOL, I sure can't tell you if this one is right or wrong". I guess that makes it more convincing than the proof for the reals.

When this news came out I amused myself by asking Claude to prove that 0.999... != 1. First it did so for the hyperreals. To do it for the reals I had to tell it it was allowed to …

They want you to blame "AI" like Claude jumped up and decided to start hassling nurses, not individuals in management

There's a terminal window in the game which you use to control your robots I even found some shell constructs to work beyond what the game documented/ explained to me

You have anything backing up the last bit? My intuition/life experience doesn't lead me to believe an alcoholic preferring whiskey is particularly worse off than an alcoholic prefe…

I think you're mixing up the NULL pointer and the NULL (sometimes NUL) character.

Struct foo has various members, including a bar*. But a foo may or may not be associated with a bar. If there's no associated bar, the bar* pointer is NULL. Seen and done this all …

The size overhead of that is 2*sizeof(int) while the overhead of null termination is sizeof(char). If I remember the standard right, the former is worse by at least sizeof(char), a…

I got similar from ChatGPT - I took the wording to imply it knew exactly who I was but was going to keep quiet as I am not a "public figure".

Hypothetically, no LLMs involved anywhere, let's say I found some tool had a bug where I could prepend some obscure sequence of bytes to a shell command string and get that execute…

According to the "Sources" popup, creator can't even excuse the slop as AI slop: > The prose > Hand-written · Template-based, not generative > Every sentence on this page was writt…

Information still wants to be free

I simply no longer consider myself morally bound by any contract I'm not seriously expected to read

Those silly words only come up in discussions like this. I have never heard them uttered in real life. I don't think my experience is bizarre here - actual usage is what matters in…

Of course! I was being silly and just thinking of "k" for the smaller one and "K" for the bigger one.

KiB is a an abbreviation for "kilobyte" which emphasizes that it means 1024.

I like how the GNU coreutils seem to have done. They use real, 1024-byte kilobytes by default, but print only the abbreviation of the prefix so it's just 10K or 200M and people can…

They had Amazon Go by Grand Central Terminal and it was great to grab a snack and drink on the way to the train, with no worry about being delayed by the checkout line. I figured t…

I perceive "guidelines" or "rules" having a very different connotation compared to a "code of conduct." See for, example, the SQLite team adopting the Rule of St. Benedict as their…

The user's name is Tim Cook and it's very rude to use his computer in ways he wouldn't like

It certainly doesn't look intentional to me- it looks like at some point someone added "-r" as a valid option, but until this surfaced as a bug, no one actually implemented anythin…

There were no buffer overflows, though!
