Fully agree, feels good to say that it's all just kind of random.

The amount of information about everything that people are giving OpenAI is astronomical, information that was previously kept closely guarded is now just freely flowing through foreign servers.

Truly a paradise for american intelligence. Would have expected that the chinese officials be briefed on not using us tech companies, but opsec is hard to teach, and even harder to always follow.

Thanks for the explanation. So much for AI making it easier to learn things!

I don't quite understand the vulnerability, when exploited, you can get information about the page from which the exploit code is running. Without a sandbox escape or XSS, that seems almost completely harmless?

This is the "impact" section on https://github.com/huseyinstif/CVE-2026-2441-PoC:

Arbitrary code execution within the renderer process sandbox Information disclosure — leak V8 heap pointers (ASLR bypass), read renderer memory contents Credential theft — read document.cookie, localStorage, sessionStorage, form input values Session hijacking — steal session tokens, exfiltrate via fetch() / WebSocket / sendBeacon() DOM manipulation — inject phishing forms, modify page content Keylogging — capture all keystrokes via addEventListener('keydown')

My prediction is that reputation will be increasingly important, certain credentials and institutions will have tremendous value and influence. Normal people will have a hard time breaking out of their community, and success will look like acquiring the right credentials to appear in the trusted places.

Agreed, yet we will have to keep seeing this take over and over again. As if I needed more reasons to believe the world is filled with morons.

Yeah, some hardware vendors that sell things like pc cases or coolers have definitely noticed that people are really building way less PCs

To me it seems like the big question for the future will be how to achieve political relevance as "the little guy". It seems like with LLMs the typical "get educated" pathway for the lower class is closing quick. I dread to think of a world where large portions of society are essentially "useless".

I'm just going to say: When opening the "twins" (bad clones) screenshots, I pressed the right key to view the next image, and surprise, the next "article" of the top navigation bar was loaded, instead of showing the next image.

Is this the quality we should expect from agentic? From my experiments with claude code, yes, the UX details are never there. Especially for bigger features. It can work reasonably well independently up to a "module" level (with clear interfaces). But for full app design, while technically possible, the UX and visual design is just not there.

And I am very not attracted to the idea of polishing such an agentic apps. A solution could be: 1. The boss prompts the system with what he wants. 2. The boss outsources to india the task of polishing the rough edges.

More on the arrow keys navigation: Pressing right on the last "Products" page loops to the first "Story" page, yet pressing left on the first page does nothing. Typical UX inconsistency of vibe coded software.

I definitely got a strong feel of LLM output reading it. Not sure if the points themselves have any merit, but I don't think that I'll go and run to buy jpy.

Because it's not people doing the writing.

The advice is: identify human constraints and remove them with agents.

Yet another simple stupid idea inflated to a massive article with ai.

algorithm design and managing memory is something you have to think about regardless of what language you use, that should be obvious. Using rust doesn't guarantee correctness or performance, that should also be obvious.

Rust has features that make it easier to make correct and performant software, I think most programmers would agree?

Please stop this rust clickbait nonsense.

Is it really that common? Any statistics on the topic?

I liked the article, but that graph definitely smells fishy, I don't believe in most modern international statistics (different methodologies, cultures, people doing it have all like of incentives...), historical trend graphs like this are for sure mostly made up.

Lies, dammed lies, and statistics. Give me a PhD title and I'll draw all kinds of beautiful graphs like this one

Always used audacious, does everything I need. Is fast, native (gtk or Qt), and you can save playlists.

On the music management side of things, I always feel like files and folders are the way to go.

Would the little rocks have collision?

The company of the website appears to be based in Riga, Latvia https://company.lursoft.lv/en/fyello-productivity/4020345542...

It's great. Been using it for years, also installed it for my mom, and she really prefers it because "things no longer move around by themselves".

You learn that usually you are really only using a handful of apps, you barely use the search box at all after two days.

Imagine if some group with the idea of targeting certain other groups can get their hands on whatever personal data they wish; employment data, address, family info, contacts...

WW2 will look like the good old peaceful times

Definitely, we agree on this. It's about stability and maintainability, I couldn't care less about naming standards, indentation rules or whatever, as long as it's consistent.

This is the same old "developers are too focused on quality" story, is focusing on customers important? Yes. Is it the job of the "developer", usually, no.

I've seen it in juniors and in myself, entering into a company excited after hearing all these advices, and realizing that the job is really to "just code".

You do not communicate with the customer, you do not decide the business direction, you simply code, and make sure there are as little issues as possible (usually not stated explicitly), and that new features (as requested by management/customers) are implemented as quickly as possible.

I don't know how to respond to this "developers shouldn't focus on quality" argument any more. Is shipping fast important? Of course. Is understanding the customer important? Definitely. But why is there always this animosity towards "developers focused on quality"?

Where I worked my experience has been the exact opposite, many coworkers have been writing slop long before LLMs were popular, all kinds of horrible hacks, the constant talk about quality was not "we are working on quality all the time", but "quality is so bad my life is so painful".

So, my question to all that fight this "quality obsessed developer" is: Why have I never met any developer obsessed about the code quality, but I hear about them all the time?

EDIT: To be more concise, I think that the "perfectionist developer" is simply a scapegoat for the inherent difficulties and challenges of software development.

Some people talk about 68k not being supported being a problem

I've been using Gemini 2.5 pro a lot, and it sounds a lot like it

I don't know any other industry where non-technical unqualified people can just decide everything in the way that it's done with software/IT

I'm pretty sure that Windows 8.1 didn't have a start menu at all, just a windows button that opened that full screen metro launcher

Too bad many places care more about how long you stay warming the seat than how useful the work done actually is.
