bitfilped··on The creator of Claude Code's Claude setup
The only way to achieve that level of parallelism is by not knowing what you are doing or the peoblem space you are working in to begin with and just throwing multiple ill defined queries at agents until something "works". It's sort of a modern infinite monkey theorem if you will.
bitfilped··on Google will now only release Android source code twice a year
I'll be moving off a google phone running GrapheneOS to Apple on my next phone refresh because of this, how is this not Google shooting themselves in the foot?
bitfilped··on Singularity Rootkit: SELinux bypass and netlink filter (ss/conntrack hidden)
...as a last line of defense. MAC is also a stronger system than DAC to being with, so a lot of places may opt to have it in place anyway for inexperienced/careless/lazy admin mistakes. Sorry you struggled with writing SEL policies, but it's a very valuable tool when you run systems that are exposed to the internet or other hostile environments.
bitfilped··on Google broke my heart
I mean I don't disagree but "should" won't make next quarters line go up until it becomes an expensive enough problem to threaten that trend.
bitfilped··on Google broke my heart
Welcome to be bright new future of "AI."
bitfilped··on LinkedIn Prevents You from Deplatforming
Are you going to reach out to 200 people? I imagine only 1-2 of them can actually significantly advance your career in any meaningful way. Wouldn't your time be better spent cultivating relationships with those 1-2 peole rather than collecting data on 200 people who you're realistically not going to see any return from?
bitfilped··on LinkedIn Prevents You from Deplatforming
I've never needed LinkedIn in a 20 year career. I think you're way over estimating the so called "value" you get from this platform.
bitfilped··on Git analytics that works across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket
You can pretty well infer that is the case from someone claiming to be operating at a senior level with 4 years of experience.
bitfilped··on Git analytics that works across GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket
"Just like everyone else" is a crazy take on AI, no part of AI has ever touched my production environment nor will it ever. 4 years is also not senior at anything in my experience.
bitfilped··on Kenyan court declares law banning seed sharing unconstitutional
You can look at America to see what happens when seed sharing is outlawed (or made effectively illegal through contracts to acquire seeds that are then ruthlessly enforced.) Neither path is ultimatly friendly to small farmers it seems, so this line of thinking doesn't really hold any water to me.
bitfilped··on GitLab discovers widespread NPM supply chain attack
Because containers on Linux will never be able to provide this, they are fundamentally insecure from the kernel layer up, adding another OS stack on top (k8s) will never address the underlying mess that Linux containers are fundamentally.
bitfilped··on GitLab discovers widespread NPM supply chain attack
Containers don't help much when you deploy malware into your systems, containers are not and never will be security tools on Linux, they lack many needed primitives to be able and pull off that type of functionality.
bitfilped··on What they don't tell you about maintaining an open source project
You need to stop wanting to help others as a developer, in that context it's a toxic mindest that will slowly kill your projects, time, personality, passion, and self. You made the project for you and chose to share it to others, that's all you need to feel responsible for. If others need to adapt it to fit their use cases, it's on them to do so.
bitfilped··on Work after work: Notes from an unemployed new grad watching the job market break
Eveyone needs to hire juniors, it's how seniors get made. Management thinks they're smart and have found a shortcut to save money, but it's only going to lead to degregation of skill at the senior level as well as raise the amount of money people that truly operate at a senior level can demand. I've already seen both happen where I work.
bitfilped··on Leaker reveals which Pixels are vulnerable to Cellebrite phone hacking
Googles goal as a company is to raise their stock price, graphenes goal is to make a secure phone OS. It really shouldn't be surprising to anyone that graphene is doing a better job.
bitfilped··on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in
Children aren't generating this traffic, people have just switched to VPNs and don't show up as UK users anymore. What do you think kids do all day exactly?
bitfilped··on Pornhub says UK visitors down 77% since age checks came in
Do you think children are a significant portion of the porn traffic?
bitfilped··on MinIO stops distributing free Docker images
Indeed, it feels like most people today treat open source as a placeholder for "work I don't have to do myself" and then get confused/upset when the project and their own interests no longer align and requires effort to bridge that gap in alignment.
bitfilped··on The White House is already one of the most blocked accounts on Bluesky

bitfilped··on Record-High 62% Say U.S. Government Has Too Much Power
If you think we're having elections in 2026 you're wildly out of tough with reality.
bitfilped··on SEC approves Texas Stock Exchange, first new US integrated exchange in decades
Does Abbott know you need a stable electric grid to run a financial exchange?
bitfilped··on US attack on renewables will lead to power crunch that spikes electricity prices
Ah yes, segregation at the polles. The true definition of freedom and democracy.... Give me a break.
bitfilped··on Copilot broke audit logs, but Microsoft won't tell customers
I know ethics aren't high up on the list of things we're taught about in tech, so I'd like to take a moment and point out that it's your moral responsibility to remove yourself from a project like this (or the company doing it.)
bitfilped··on HRT's Python fork: Leveraging PEP 690 for faster imports
Not sure why you're throwing shade on people making a living. Go lobby to your representative if you think the financial market should be changed instead of belittling folks doing a job.
bitfilped··on MinIO Removes Web UI Features from Community Version, Pushes Users to Paid Plans
Ceph, Garage, JuiceFS, SeaweedFS
bitfilped··on Changes since congestion pricing started in New York
Japan is not NY and arguments based on sociatal/cultural behavior don't apply universally. Do you personally use these scary subway systems in the US that you have so many stats about?
bitfilped··on Microsoft is Cutting 3% of All Workers
It's in the first sentence of the article.
bitfilped··on US Copyright Office found AI companies breach copyright. Its boss was fired
Sorry but AI isn't that useful and I don't see it becoming any more useful in the near term. It's taken since ~1950 to get LLMs working well enough to become popular and they still don't work well.
bitfilped··on OpenAI says it has evidence DeepSeek used its model to train competitor
Except OpenAI hasn't shared anything.
bitfilped··on USDA ordered to scrub climate change from websites
More of the exact same thing, but people who think using that mental framework rarely think that far ahead....
