made you look
Alanah Pearce has talked about this a bunch too, she uses the A/B system to try accurate vs. clickbait title/thumbnail combos, and without fail the clickbait ones do better.

I hate it, she hates it, everybody else hates it, but viewers love it.
If one day clang of gcc ships with a local LLM to lint code for security problems I would probably run it occasionally even on my hobby code despite being an AI hater.
Compilers already have deterministic linters built in, devs often turn them off anyway.
Quite a lot of the bugs being found in existing codebases show up as soon as you re-enable them.
More individual participation, less corporate involvement, zero corporate ownership of essentials.
I’ve got some bad news about Linux then, the main contibutors are companies, and the infrastructure is owned by them.
It’s not individuals who paying Linus $1.5 million a year (Under “Compensation”).
And it’s also not like the hardware is improving much either, we’ve effectively hit the wall performance wise with processors and RAM.
That’s literally what all these datacenters are for, we can’t scale the individual computer performance up, so instead we build more and more of them.
Apple used Pascal up until the System 7 era anyway, C was just one of many choices of the time.
If we didn’t have C, we’d probably have eliminated things like buffer overflows and out of bounds memory accesses decades ago.
The LLMs are wicked fast at reviewing code
That’s because it’s not actually reviewing the code, rather just producing text that statistically looks like review comments.
So it does look vaguely useful, e.g. if code has null checks, review comments usually won’t ask for them to be added, but it’s never actually reviewing, or understanding, or reasoning, or anything else people claim.
It’s like an actor playing a doctor in a TV show, they’re not actually diagnosing patients, they’re just following a script that looks like it.
Don’t forget about RFC 9557 though, which is an update to 3339 to bring it into closer alignment with ISO 8601 (regarding UTC).
Though the way it specifies raw UTC times is odd (8601 uses Z, 3339 uses -00:00), that got changed with RFC 9557 to align with 8601.
It also supports “zoned date times”, where instead of just using the UTC offset, you can also include a timezone identifier, e.g. 2020-01-01T00:00+01:00[Europe/Paris]. Useful if you’re doing calculations on dates but can be ignored otherwise.
RFC 3339 is even better, unless you do happen to like the “2026-W32-2” style dates.
“Prompting” isn’t a skill, that’s just asking for what you want. Same way as asking a barista for a drink doesn’t require the same level of skill as making it.
But in general yes that’s how arguments and decision-making works, for any law. These things aren’t mathematical proofs interpreted by computers, they’re people you convince of your point.
Ehh, it seems pretty targeted to me, it’s defined to only apply to automatic apps or services, e.g. it specifically exempts manually created images.
Bans X from allowing grok to make naked pictures of celebrities but doesn’t apply to people using photoshop to do the same.
It’s not even something new.
A box shaped computer? so pedestrian, mine is a hyperbolic paraboloid.
Meanwhile, indie devs:
I think that’s the one thing they got right unfortunately, in real life armies (usually) don’t risk soldiers trying to locate and kill a sniper, they just use things like artillery, missiles, or tanks.
Does systemd print much once it’s fully running? Checking my log the only chatty thing is networkmanager doing wifi scanning, 4 separate state change log messages per scan.
Secure boot does have a revocation mechanism (It’s literally how this issue has been mitigated) though.
You can not only load in allowed signatures, you can also load in disallowed ones so even properly signed binaries will get rejected.
Starlink the worlds fastest growing ISP, while having an enormous profit margin is the bread and butter.
Starlink has only had one profitable year ($70m total), and that’s only if you exclude the cost of rocket launches and only count selling end user hardware and subscriptions.
.env files are wild to me, environment variables have never been a good way to pass data to applications, let alone secret data.
So the solution people came up with was to store them in plain text next to the binary, and then have a loader apply them before running the main app.
And there’s
