What commonly gets installed in those cases is actual malware, a RAT (Remote Admin Tool) that lets the attacker later run commands on your laptop (kinda like an OpenSSH server, but also punching a hole through nat and with a server that they can broadcast commands broadly to the entire fleet). If the attacker wants to use AI to assist in looking for valuables on your machine, they won't install AI on your machine, th…

> They won’t install AI on your machine

Actually they’ll just the AI you already have on your machine[0]

In this attack, the malware would use Claude Code (with your credentials) to scan your own machine.

Much easier than running the inference themselves!

3 days ago I saw another Claude praising submission on HN, and finally I signed up for it, to compare it with copilot. I asked 2 things. 1. Create a boilerplate Zephyr project skeleton, for Pi Pico with st7789 spi display drivers configured. It generated garbage devicetree which didn't even compile. When I pointed it out, it apologized and generated another one that didn't compile. It configured also non-existent dri…

Write some hooks dawg

I guess many find comfort in being able to task an ai with assignments that it cannot complete. Most sr developers I work with take this approach. It's not really a good way of assessing the usefulness of a tool though.

Tbh dawg, those tasks sound intentionally obtuse. It looks like u are doing more esoteric work than the crud react slop us mortals play in on the daily which is where ai shines.

It seems every IDE now has AI built-in. That's a problem if you're working on highly confidential code. You never know when the AI is going to upload code snippets to the server for analysis.

This is not a realistic concern. If you're working on highly confidential code (in a serious meaning of that phrase), your while environment is already either offline or connecting only through a tightly controlled corporate proxy. There's no accidental leaks to AI from those environments.

thanks for giving the security department more reasons to think that way.

I spent the last 6 months trying to convince them not to block all outbound traffic by default.

Good luck getting just scroll bar right with vibe coding. You'll be surprised how much engineering is done to get that part work smoothly.

If enough examples are in-distribution, the model's scroll bar implementation will work just fine. (Eventually, after the human learns what to ask for and how to ask for it.) Why wouldn't it?

Most programs today regularly have bugs with scrolling. Thus, an LLM will produce for you... A buggy piece of code.

Try this prompt: Create a detailed step by step plan to implement a boilerplate Zephyr project skeleton for Pi Pico with configured st7789 SPI display drivers

Ask Opus or Gemini 2.5 Pro to write a plan. Then ask the other to critique it and fix mistakes. Then ask Sonnet to implement

In a similar vein I can barely find an OS that refuses to connect to the internet

Wouldn't the more correct analogy be a text editor without "Klippy?"

They don’t think it be like it is, but it do.

"Apple Intelligence", at least the part that's available to developers via the Foundation Models framework is a tiny ~3B model [0] with very limited context window. It's mainly good for simple things like tagging/classification and small snippets of text. [0] https://github.com/fguzman82/apple-foundation-model-analysis

Yes, but the Foundation Model framework can seamlessly use Apple's much larger models via Private Cloud Compute or switch to ChatGPT.

When macOS 26 is officially announced on September 9, I expect Apple to announce support for Anthropic and Google models.

This won't make a dent. It still doesn't support any agentic operation. The real news is when Codex CLI / Claude Code get integrated, or Apple introduces a competitor offering to them. Until then this is a toy and should not be used for any serious work while these far better tools exist.

I just installed it—definitely not a toy. Compared to stock Claude Code, this version of Claude knows a lot more about SwiftUI and related technologies. The following is output from Claude in Xcode on an empty project. Claude Code gives a generic response when it looked at the same project: What I Can Help You With • SwiftUI Development: Layout, state management, animations, etc. • iOS/macOS App Architecture: MVVM, d…

If a bunch of markdown files forced into the context is “knowing”, then yes. They are usually located at /Applications/Xcode-beta.app/Contents/PlugIns/IDEIntelligenceChat.framework/Versions/A/Resources/AdditionalDocumentation

You are free to point Claude Code to that folder, or make a slash command that loads their contents. Or, start CC with -p where the prompt is the content of all those files.

Claude Code integration in Xcode would be very cool indeed, but I might still stick with VSCode for pure coding.
