It sounds like you’ve given up on an open web. Possibly the rational thing for you to do in your circumstances, but nonetheless a sad place we are in.

A foreign company can’t steal your IP to build out competing products? Or use source code to find novel vulnerabilities and deeply compromise your company?

I think that’s the point

I don’t participate in bounties at all unless I believe there is a moral obligation or I’m set to make thousands of dollars. In each case, $0.05 is fine. For a typical commercial e…

Reminds me of someone (well known in their field) who charged $0.05 for using their “contact me” page. A trivial amount for someone who genuinely wanted to contact them, but just h…

It was recently edited. I assume they saw this feedback

I love that the 5.9 lives on ursa-ag.com For (a little bit) more info

Spinning it up is not the problem. You want to spend the time to throughly test it (or have your agent swarm test it) so you don’t waste the opportunity of having HN input? I’d be …

Fixing is now the bottleneck. Most patches are non-trivial and then each project/maintainer has a preferred coding style, and they’re being inundated with PRs already, and don’t ta…

You should probably add a huge disclaimer that this is an untested, experimental project. Related, a direct comparison to other sandboxes and what you offer over those would be nic…

I personally observe AI creation phenomenally good code, much better than I can write. At insane speed, with minimal oversight. And today’s AI is the worst we will ever have. Progr…

Batshit crazy? 3 years ago LLMs couldn’t solve 7x8. Now they’re building complex applications in one shot, solving previously unsolved math and science problems. Heck, one company …

> It is there to reduce our agency, to make it easier to fire us, to put us in even more precarious position Could be. It could also end up freeing us from every commercial depende…

Don’t hold your breath

This has been done before; heat and having two crankshafts kinda kills it

I never said anything about 2FA magic links? We can do much, much better via things like FaceID integrated passkeys, and probably further steps from there. > Stop requiring compute…

Hilarious example to use, because that literally is an effort that’s underway. Thousands of people get scammed and have their lives ruined every year, so deprecating passwords is a…

I was very surprised to find the opposite yesterday. I was asking ChatGPT about firearms and it hit a safeguard ~”I cannot give gun purchasing advice” so I switched to Gemini, and …

> but demonstrating a reliable way to exploit them Is this a requirement for most bug bounty programs? Particularly the “reliable” bit?

Driving even basic PTO attachments? That’s borderline

The relocation was the big question on my mind. The other is: when will they charge? Does this ship not run at night?

Disclosure: I work @ goog, opinions my own There’s absolutely been a lot of focus on LLMs, but they simply work very well at a lot of things. That said, Carbon (C++ successor) is a…
