Reminds me of this story from Windows land by Bruce Dawson (and similar on his blog): 63 Cores Blocked by Seven Instructions: https://randomascii.wordpress.com/2019/10/20/63-cores-…

So the AIs end up being silly like in this video? 10 AIs Play Mafia https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhBtg-lyKdo

I have problems reconciling this story with the Amazon one from few days ago. If we take both for truth doesn't that basically imply Amazon researchers got scared by the ‘Fix this …

Agentic engineering? Vibe coding? That is so yesterday. Chain-of-thought flow is where it is at now. You heard it here first folks. Early examples of such phenomena include Rube Go…

https://x.com/i/status/2053560589327180255 I sense a pattern emerging.

Are you suggesting intelligent design got us here?

Not really convinced by the first graph (and following too). According to it on a 10 year old project developers only manage to spend 10% of their available time adding features be…

Got it. Vibe coding is all about the end result, damned be the way we got there. So I assume agentic engineering must be the opposite here? Don't care what we will cook. If I get a…

Caring about what? I could slap an application and say I vibe coded it or I could equally claim I agentically engineered it. No one could tell the difference(if there is any) witho…

> my disturbing realization that vibe coding and agentic engineering have started to converge in my own work. >I firmly staked out my belief that “vibe coding” is a very different …

I don't have a problem with AI assistance either, but this undermines the point the article is making. For me it is like a priest preaching gay sex is wrong and then being caught i…

He writes 2,253 candidates and 2,069 were disqualified. 184 were qualified, so 1 in 12 was considered competent.

Asking ChatGPT about safety of someone traveling instead of asking that person is the nerdy thing to do. Somehow a hairstylist doesn't invoke image of a nerd in me. That is why I f…

Agreed. Lead main source in nature is galena, which is relatively nontoxic. It rarely occurs in metallic form.

The fire started on 26th September and news about it reached HN only now. I think this is telling how disruptive for South Korea daily life this accident really was.

Reminds me of one of the stupidest hacks I discovered (In my mind). In one of my previous companies we had many similar Lotus Notes databases and one of them didn't allow to copy t…

I'm sceptical a layperson will understand or care what it means that their data will be used in training. If you are concerned about such things this heavily implies you don't want…

Exactly. This is a basic optimization technique and all the dinosaur era databases should have that. But if you build a new database product you have to implement these techniques …

Everything else aside moving to R and Python to escape the USA hegemony means you are still dependend on Python Software Foundation and R Fundation. First is American. Second is ba…

All that and who will pay for it? Politicians? They use taxpayers money. Companies? They will pass on the bill to the customers. So in the end same group will experience higher pri…

Yes, this paper and many others will be forgotten as soon as they leave the front page. Afterwards noone refers to articles like these here. People just talk about anecdotes and pe…

That's another issue I have with this article. It lists the risks, but does not provide any specific well documented examples. It (and many others privacy related) does not try to …

The author defends mediocore code, yet wrote this piece: https://fly.io/blog/vscode-ssh-wtf/ Where he dunks on how SSH access works in VSCode. I don't know. The code and architectu…
