TheRoque··on Who should be held accountable when an AI Agent (accidentally) acts maliciously?
Doesn't seem like hard dilemmas... Would you use the word "use" for hopping on a bus ? Well same for hopping on an autonomous car. Unless you touch the wheel you didn't use it. Same for the second example, doesn't seem ambiguous as all, the hardest part I guess is proving it that there was no malicious intent, but with logs and all that, doesn't seem that hard.
TheRoque··on Owed a billion dollars in Nvidia stock
Was curious too and this came up: https://www.irishtimes.com/news/to-be-or-not-to-be-1.101984
TheRoque··on The GitHub wiki is an anti-pattern (2022)
I also put everything in one repo nowadays, no matter the usage, the language etc. All is synced, and all is accessible by my LLM. There are a lot of tools to manage monorepos, and frankly most of the time you don't even need them.
TheRoque··on Spain orders blocks on Archive.today and its mirrors
They just remove it from the ISP's DNS, changing your DNS server will bypass it. I don't really call that a ban personally, more like softly hiding

I mean... Righfully so. All those new "gambling" websites (who aren't even regulated as such) are an insider trader's dream.
TheRoque··on iPhone Duo
Totally. It doesn't make sense to have such powerful chips and not being able to leverage it.
TheRoque··on iPhone Duo
The Macbook neo has a Phone chip. And Android now integrates the Linux terminal (well, for compatible chips). Valve is also trying to put gaming on ARM chips. So I'd say we're starting to blur the lines between phones and PCs. Personally, owning a samsung phone, I'm looking for a neat option to leverage my powerful chip and work on it on trips, but so far I find the options to do so too expensive considering how much money I already put into my phone (VR glasses, Lapdocks, external monitor/keyboard...)

Claude is a french name and is unisex
TheRoque··on The AI Situation in Software Development
AI coding is not that efficient. 2x increase at best, depending on the usage. Doesn't seem like a lot is gonna change tbh.
TheRoque··on Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
Wouldn't it need a super critical exploit, I mean zero-day vulnerability, to escape from that kind of sandbox ? And if you think further, then isn't that risk also applicable to pretty much any kind of sandboxing ?
TheRoque··on Docker Sandboxes – Disposable, isolated sandboxes for AI agents
Would you say podman is better, or is it the same as docker ?

What's wrong with just Android?
TheRoque··on Pi's Minimalism Is Its Advantage
Ok my bad. I remember hearing that it was a criticism of common harnesses and that the creator of Pi wanted more control over that feature, so I assumed it wasn't enabled by default. Thank for pointing it out !
TheRoque··on Pi's Minimalism Is Its Advantage
What extension do you use ? With all the supply chain attacks I am warry of adding extensions, so I wonder if there's like a go-to one that everyone uses
TheRoque··on Pi's Minimalism Is Its Advantage
A lot of harnesses compress the context when it becomes massive, Pi doesn't do that out of the box (EDIT: that's wrong, as pointed out below). It can be both good and bad. Also since it doesn't have a lot of tools out of the box, the context is not polluted with external tool call descriptions that the agent has to be aware of.

Basically, it doesn't handle the context "better", it barely does anything special to it, which can actually be better for cost efficiency.

TheRoque··on UEFA and its national associations will not participate in FIFA competitions
Isn't it a non profit too ? But you seem to imply it's going into individual's pockets ?
TheRoque··on Kimi K3 Is Competitive with Fable; Kimi K3 and Fable Is SoTA
Then why try to act like one ?
TheRoque··on Claude Code uses Bun written in Rust now
I had "investigate if bun is worth it" too, and decided not to use it, but instability was one of the reasons. So it feels it was the right move.
TheRoque··on P2P local file transfer based on WebRTC
Solution I've been using for a while is KDE Connect. Works on windows, linux, android
TheRoque··on Organic Maps
Thanks for the heads up, I wasn't not aware of that. I never got a single ad in OM though
TheRoque··on What to learn to be a graphics programmer
> The amount of otherwise decent games that run poorly due to Unity or UE is very unfortunate. I wish people would stop recommending this stuff. I do hope Godot and Bevy are better, but I'm not sure if they are.

Games don't run poorly "because of unity or UE", those engines are highly optimized for the graphical fidelity they provide, It's super easy to find examples of games that run flawlessly with these engines (UE5: Arc Raiders, Unity: Arknights Endfield). Seriously, this narrative is ridiculous and needs to stop.

Some games with those engines run poorly because no matter the engine, if the developers don't take the time to optimize their games, the result will be an unoptimized mess. Is Unity engine responsible for the fact that Cities Skyline 2 devs decided to render the full polygons of every individual's teeth no matter the distance ? There are a ton of tools built in to handle level of details and they didn't use them...

I doubt those unoptimized games would do any better and in a shorter time if the studio had to build their own engines, or with any other available engine. Bevy is too barebones to be compared, and Godot is not as capable as Unity/UE.

TheRoque··on The 'papers, please' era of the internet will decimate your privacy
In your country maybe.. In mine it's super boring and intellectual
TheRoque··on I've always wondered if anyone used sharing buttons on news sites and blogs
On YouTube ? I don't have that
TheRoque··on GrapheneOS has been ported to Android 17
The thing is they don't setup their "intelligence system" for the type of task you wanna do. They are integrating it for tasks like "buy me a plane ticket for my next holidays", "order diner for me, the usual"...
TheRoque··on Nobody clicks share buttons
I click on the share button to get the link, that I copy and share myself.

And it's on my phone only, on my computer I'd just copy the URL since I'm out of an app

The YouTube share feature let you pick the time to share but they removed it for some reason m..

TheRoque··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
Do you have some metrics to back this up ? Because from what I can see with my own eyes, outages everywhere, security holes everywhere too, doesn't seem that things are improving..
TheRoque··on When AI Builds Itself: Our progress toward recursive self-improvement
So with LLM outputting average code, and people using LLM more and more, I guess the average code will become worse over time ?
TheRoque··on Gooey: A GPU-accelerated UI framework for Zig
Vulkan is a graphics API, not a UI library or framework. It's way lower level and if your goal is to make a user interface, you're not really supposed to do it with Vulkan (but you could i guess)
TheRoque··on Roughly a quarter of American professionals hit a wall in their careers
Are you talking about the end of the Bretton-Woods agreement?

I mean, it's cherry picked, but still funny to see all those charts.
