Because that doesn't satisfy the narrative of American exceptionalism. It's easier to point at something and say it was stolen or copied than it is to compete, especially with the …

Ah yeah, but that's not an AI problem in general. The models are trained on human language and human centered expression. I realized after re-reading, that my comment was more hars…

It's not really possible to help without more information about the models you are using, the harness you are using, and how you use the harness. You haven't even provided enough i…

Sure. Wealth has always given early adopters and first movers wings. As hardware specs get better, and model providers keep making different classes of mistakes that alienate users…

Until a couple of years ago you needed to be able to read research papers and code to build fuzzing harnesses and triage the findings to find vulns. Now you can point Claude, codex…

Yes, sort of. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Fuzzing yields tons of trash results, the occasional fleck of gold and the even more rare nugget. Then you analyze how it …

That puts the OS in the position of attempting to profile or determine if an application is accessing OS, hardware, and user details to build a fingerprint, vs using those capabili…

Yeah Claude does this for me all the time. I have a template project I use that also leverages puppeteer/webdriver/Firefox, and I can point Claude at the template and a website and…

Are you sure it refused because it can't use a username and password? I literally have loops running right now where it uses a database of test users and passwords to log into diff…

It's pretty simple. There are things that I do because it's fun, like gamedev. I hand code that, and don't use LLM tools because I like learning and building. I do lots of utility …

Why? The US likes to flex it's muscle by pushing other governments around on behalf of its commercial interests. I think it's well past time for Canada to either formally pursue to…

> Could you teach a 5 year old to drive a car? A 10 year old? A 12 year old? To drive a car requires being able to read, to have judgement about ice or rainy conditions, to anticip…

https://parentsguidetoai.ca I spend all day working on AI related stuff at my day job, but more recently I have been getting lots of questions about AI from friends and family and …

Shh...you'll burst the bubble of the folks who think that LLMs are toy stochastic parrots...

Sure, and for anyone from BC or Vancouver that would like to take that approach, there is a local movement at https://aicaution.ca/ In the meantime, I spend several hours a week ta…

Hi folks, I'm a parent, technology professional, and security engineer based in British Columbia. Over the last couple of years I've found myself having more conversations with par…

It's simple, I am not going to defend any economic system because they all require trade-offs, because any economic model that we could currently implement must necessarily ration …

There is a definite financial incentive for people smarter than me to solve the problem, and I don't generally bet against businesses finding ways to reduce costs :)

Buypass no longer issues TLS certs since last year.

Actalis, based in Italy offers a free tier, with ACME https://www.actalis.com/subscription ZeroSSL from Austria also has a limited free tier. https://zerossl.com/pricing/ I mean re…

I think subscription models are sustainable, but longer term, we should probably expect to see more prompt optimization happening in the providers inference pipeline. For example, …

It's a trade-off. Every hyperscaler is buying and building compute capacity as fast as they can dodge red tape. There is limited compute capacity, and scarcity is a real thing. As …

Sure. Why not, I'm bored today and waiting for some stuff to finish up :D The fact that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism is not material to whether or not ethical e…

I doubt it, given the importance of those subscriptions for building and maintaining market awareness. The AI landscape is changing rapidly, and with Apple announcing the option to…
