The problem with such infrastructure is not the initial development overhead.

It's the maintenance. The long term, slow burn, uninteresting work that must be done continually. Someone needs to be behind it for the long haul or it will never get adopted and used widely.

Right now, at least, LLMs are not great at that. They're great for quickly creating smaller projects. They get less good the older and larger those projects get.


I mean the claim is that next generation models are better and better at executing on larger context. I find that GPT 5.4 xhigh is surprisingly good at analysis even on larger codebases.

Stuff like this where these models are root causing nontrivial large scale bugs is already there in SOTA.

I would not be surprised if next generation models can both resolve those more reliability and implement them better. At that point would be sufficiently good maintainers.

They are suggesting that new models can chain multiple newly discovered vulnerabilities into RCE and privilege escalations etc. You can't do this without larger scope planning/understanding, not reliabily.


I mean, it's one GetPostRecord, Michael. What could it cost? 1 trillion ports?

This seems to be the default for me, at least on Android.

Android also supports custom encrypted payloads so Signal doesn't have to give them to Google.

For toy projects good old Make is fine...but at some point a project gets large enough that you need something more powerful. If you need something that can deal with multiple layers of nested sub-repositories, third-party and first-party dependencies, remote and local projects, multiple build configurations, dealing with non-code assets like documentation, etc, etc, etc - Make just isn't enough.

Reminds me of this. I found their video that had a breakdown of some of what they needed to do to make a game fit on NES really fascinating!


I make a habit of training the spam filter to catch all the non-important emails produced on a purchase.

Tracking link for shipment? Thank you!

Random email about how to 'best use' my purchase (advertise other products) - instant spam flag.

This has worked quite well, though occasionally the filter gets it wrong.


Aren't AI detectors almost exclusively terrible at their job, though? I wouldn't put a lot of weight on that.

I wouldn't call a card like the 5080 important. It was incremental compared to the previous generation, a poor value for money, and was awkwardly placed - being very cut down compared to the 90 class of that generation - significantly more than earlier generations.

Bitcoin isn't 'real digital money'. It's a speculative asset for gambling with. That's all it is, and all it ever was.

It was also briefly useful for buying drugs on the Internet.

It also enabled the existence of ransomware. Can't go big fish hunting if there is no viable way to pay the attacker.

All Bitcoin/crypto "currency" is harm with near-zero upside.


Aside: That font is really hard on my eyes. Anyone else?

The dark mode looks better. In the light mode they have to improve the contrast. The lines in the visualisations are almost invisible, also the data table on the left

Yeah. I was going to suggest Firefox Reader Mode, but it fails miserably on this particular site for some reason. Ublock Origin's "disable remote fonts", still works great on this site though.

I cross-posted to my personal blog too https://yev.bar/ziggit

Me as well. Calling it painful would be overstating it, but it's not pleasant.
