Here's a more journalistic source (albeit Dutch-language): https://www.bnr.nl/nieuws/nieuws-politiek/10612712/duizenden...

For a second I was worried that the actual code behind this was dead in the water ("3 months ago") but it's just one more click away:

TBH I think we still need to explain this to ourselves first.

Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute. -- Hal Abelson

I can't help but think that some of the arguments here apply equally well to writing _code_ as they to to other substantive writings.

Writing code is thinking, AI code is often vague and wrong in hard-to-notice ways, and the (human) reader of code is the one that pays the cost for this later.

The cost/benefit analysis may still work out differently for code though...

Passkeys remind me of ipv6 in that they are a "solution" coming from the supply-side, without (apparently) having done any research in what motivates actual users (and what would motivate them to switch).

As the kind of human that prefer to not communicate with dogs (bots) I've always interpreted the comic much more negatively than implied by the article

Author here; I admit this is basically just a rant but it might just be the kind of rant that does well here on HN. Anyway, sticking around for questions, also on (vaguely) related subjects

but it's at least somewhat stronger than that: if you don't pay attention during the stick-beating whether the agents whether the agents cheat or not, you are actually training them to cheat (because cheating wins).

In the Hugging-face saga (before the actual HF incident) it seems the agents have been trained to hack the Artifactory proxy because those agents that did performed better.

Presumably to indicate that the parts in quotes are indeed quoted literally from the source that is mentioned in the same sentence?

As inspired by this tumblr which did not age well:

This is just asking for a parody-site that displays literally an empty page though.

given the fact that they communicated about this as a CVE, and Forgejo is a fork of gitea, one could say that this is on Forgejo though.

Part of the explanation (for me) is that the slow down comes later, and that part of the cost is externalized to team members. If you go all-in agentic on a project that has at least reasonable code quality, you can certainly gain a temporary boost by stopping to read the code for a while. At least long enough to get yourself and the rest of the team hooked on the idea.

Kinda reminds me of the "beginner's luck" problem for gamblers.

This post is basically Futurama's "assorted lengths of wire" in text-form, right?

"resolved" it says now...

Dropping Google Analytics on a page is indeed precisely active sharing of data with Google; it just happens to use your own browser against you rather than sending the data to Google from the server of the website.

There's no "active conspiracy" needed as long as this kind of behavior keeps being normalized by comments like the above.

Google Analytics as well as Microsoft, which indeed makes "tech companies". What are you implying here really?

The fact that these "move off US infra" posts now routinely hit #1 on HN is itself pretty telling. Another example is the public outcry here in the Netherlands over selling off the company doing the infra for an important citizen-facing piece of government software (DigiD)...

Trump may genuinely end up being the best salesman European hosting companies ever had. I run one of the tools mentioned in this post (Bugsink) and I literally had an uptick of Danish people/companies (specifically) reaching out to me after Davos.

If you/your company is already inside the EU, you can't really escape the EU's unpredictability, but you can to some extend reduce the blast radius of the American government's whims.

They say

> Not everything moved. Cloudflare is a US company, I still use it, and I’m at peace with that.

which you admittedly couldn't read when you complained about it.

Indeed both the "..." and "disabling over removing" were in the windows 95 UI manual

Before clicking the link I thought this was going to be about over-usage of the term by LLMs... it's not in my personal "red flag" list but it does seem to have a general applicability that's not connected to actually having something to say that fits well with LLMs

The rebuttal is especially interesting because it simply let's the actual usages of the term speak for themselves. It turns out (ha!) that the Cambridge example is the only case that supports the OPs case.

How do you actually measure likeness?

Every journey starts with the first step... And those steps are finally being taken now. Don't see why this kind of naysaying would be the top comment here
