burgeroneon Data-only attacks are easier than you think (2024)

I'm positively surprised that their tool is not yet another LLM wrapper.

The quality of research (and by extent HN submissions) has really plummeted since LLMs have become marginally useful

Of course it's AI because why wouldn't it

You should be glad that the popup isn't using any dask patterns to coerce you into choosing an option you wouldn't otherwise agree with

burgeroneon Ask HN: What was your "oh shit" moment with GenAI?

My oh shit moment was when I thought it was going to be the future but it ended up leaving me disappointed, frustrated and annoyed. It's closed down tech, stealing work, ruining our climate and it doesn't work remotely as well as advertised.

burgeroneon Claude Code and Codex can have real-time conversation via Git

It's also unclear what conversing agents are useful for other than wasting money, energy and water.

burgeroneon It's hard to justify buying a Framework 12

You really don't choose a Framework based on raw performance. You coose it because your values align with their philosophy.

burgeroneon Understand Anything

I'd prefer if post titles returned that immediately showed if it was an AI tool. These AI projects seem to be picking more and more random names

burgeroneon Framework's new Linux laptop is selling faster than its Windows one

Firstly, you had to pay so much money for that screen that you had to consider buying a new device.

Secondly, Apple Products seem specifically engineered to easily break catastrophically (see SSD power supply below speaker grill, zapping the NAND modules if liquid enters the conveniently placed holes. Or a loose metal plate slicing a crucial ribbon cable when the phone was dropped. And many more such cases

This mix of overly fragile design and ridiculously expensive first-party repairs combined with parts pairing and the resulting inability of third-party, non-apple-certified repair shops to level the playing field is what I call a scam.

Prwtty neat. Unfortunately wasn't able to solve the UI desync one :/

burgeroneon Type resolution redesign, with language changes to taste

What makes zig special as a language? I have the impression that it has quite a large fan base here on HN but don't really hear any talks about it anywhere else.

burgeroneon Addressing Antigravity Bans and Reinstating Access

https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli/discussions/2063...

This comment resonated with me in particular.
