I don't think this is a paperclip factory moment. IIUC, it's an agent whose job it is to identfy and abuse exploits and that's exactly what it went off and did. The problem isn't a…

The default real text was "GHOST FONT" and the "ghost" portion of that is what fable found. It wasn't a decoy message.

I hate it. A useful tip - Claude goes into what I call Safety Mode when it gets afraid of risk. Once it's in that mode, you will never get out and it lobotomizes its effective inte…

When I gave Fable a screenshot it found the GHOST portion of GHOST FONT. Based on pixel density via some python code apparently - https://imgur.com/a/m3c801F

This is a super dishonest characterization. Running software on a bunch of machines, even machines in other peoples' homes has never been a crime. Folding@home isn't a crime (obvio…

Serving the API is profitable. They are unprofitable because of R&D (and maybe subscription costs?). If they can continue to find access to R&D capital, there is space to reduce AP…

Feels a bit sensationalized, presumably related to it being a blog for a product that sells security. I can't repro. And I probably shouldn't judge, but I think talking about being…

I think the slop part is just what you get when you inject no opinions and put in no effort to apply taste (which you probably have and/or could develop). No care is put in. It loo…

This hits the cybersecurity/biology filter: > tell me about chimp violence It's laughably terrible

Independent of what you believe, I don't think this is the right way to approach thinking about it. It's basically emotion-oriented dismissal used as way to shortcut any substantia…

I'm gonna need to see some proof on that 5-year-old-draws-pelicans-better claim.

Why are you so certain of this?

Frankly Django got lucky. It is far more common for import controllers to delay until the costs of delay force you to pay.

I don't think that is a real concern.

The NGO delivery channels are privileged because they are charitable. That's why they get to bypass the country's restrictions. You can't open that channel up, the country would ob…

It was Django. But he had a very different financial situation. And a potentially fraught one as a refugee and foreigner. I would pay the bribe, but I would try very hard not to pu…

Specifically I was talking about this part > "At some point, one man quietly pulled me aside and suggested that if I "gave something," they could help solve the problem more easily…

That's a valid way to approach this - bun isn't valuable enough to bother with or at least wait for a while, Windows is. But I think the comparison is closer than you are making it…

I think those studies have framing or methodological issue. I agree the maintenance burden is probably being undervalued by developers in general, but there's just no way the work …

I don't know if your viewpoint is uncommon or if the vibe-coding hating crowd is just louder.

They support Windows, which is many millions of lines of code not written by the current maintainers.

If you're asking about logistics, try reaching out to your country's embassy in Jordan and see if you can get in touch with an aid/development worker. They know how to make things …
