Good read. "GPT 5.4 often defaults to overly verbose code (slop), its behavior can be steered effectively with proper prompting."

Frontier LLMs are doing too much when it comes to editing code. I'm excited to share this work on the Over-Editing problem which refers to models modifying code beyond what is asked of them. The main findings are: - Many frontier models Over-Edit with GPT 5.4 being the biggest culprit - Reasoning models have a higher natural tendency to Over-Edit compared to their non-reasoning counterparts - RL is the best approach to train models to perform minimal code editing while preventing catastrophic forgetting compared to SFT, DPO and Rejection Sampling. Blog and details below!

@mitsuhiko fully agree … but what to do abt it? (movies might also be demand induced supply) … in the end if you want stable partnerships and foster fertility (gov’t pov) you have to make ‘marriage’ as cheap as possible (also socially) … even subsidize it … (if marriage -> stability)

@MBrottrager It's more more likely to be cultural than anything else. They did interviews with school children < 12 and you can see trends even there. You will also find fewer movies and shows that show married couples. A lot of stuff follows from there. It's not necessarily rational.

@mitsuhiko thing is i dont fully buy into the ‘fear of commitment’ hyp. bc. many couples i know have children, are together >10-15 years and are still not married … which is indeed odd given the nice legal/econ benefit …

@MBrottrager There is no legal requirement to have a party when you sign the papers. In fact, a significant number of marriages is taking place just between the couple and whatever number of legal witnesses is required, without any ceremony.

@mitsuhiko i know … but fam. etc expects the traditional: you marry you party schedule whereas most friends (us incl) esp. when expecting children are only interested in the legal stuff .. so there’s a social cost that ‘causes’ deferred marriages (would be my hypothesis)

@mitsuhiko but aren’t those two inherently connected? the legal contract isnt recorded, right?

@MBrottrager The cultural event is a separate thing anyways. People even opt out of the legal contract.

@mitsuhiko the legal product can be (in part) mimicked and many of our friend etc did exactly that. so its not commitment etc. but more the social stuff around it …

@mitsuhiko Not fear of marriage. The legal product (shared rights, default contract) is great. It’s the culturally-expected ceremony forced on top. We want the party etc. - just later, when time + money allow. Priorities are elsewhere now. It’s a budget constraint, not cold feet.

Did a quick Pi extension that gives me /push. It synthesizes a user message, “Please push this worktree to GitHub main,” and synthesizes a Git Bash tool call for it. Then it lets Pi run that and gives the result back to the model.

Wer wollte immer schon mal bei der Statistik Austria #hacken? Am 16/17.06 geht das ganz legal und man kann sogar €300 gewinnen. Der Flyer unten lässt noch etwas Raum für Interpretation !?, aber könnte spannend sein. CC: @STATISTIK_AT

In jedem Szenario die zukünftige Energieversorgung betreffend spielt #Windkraft eine entscheidende Rolle. Es sind vor allem Fachfremde und bestimmte Politiker, die wieder und wieder das Gegenteil behaupten. Hier ein neues EU-weites Szenario von EDF. Dem staatlichen Energiekonzern Frankreichs. Einem Land, in dem 70% des Stroms aus Atomkraft kommt. 40% Windkraft in 2050. edf.fr/sites/groupe/f…

Our investigation has revealed that the incident originated from a third-party AI tool with hundreds of users whose Google Workspace OAuth app was compromised. We recommend that Google Workspace Administrators check for usage of this app immediately. #indicators-of-compromise-iocs" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">vercel.com/kb/bulletin/ve…

Someone on BreachForums claiming to be ShinyHunters is selling what they say is Vercel's internal database, access keys, and source code for $2M. ShinyHunters is a black-hat hacker group known for a significant number of breaches and a "pay or leak" model. Vercel has confirmed a security incident. Here's the breakdown: > The listing claims to include employee accounts with access to internal deployments, API keys, NPM tokens, and GitHub tokens, with a $500k BTC starting price > ShinyHunters posted the listing on April 19, 2026, claiming verified access keys "for a potential global supply chain attack" > The listing includes screenshots from what appears to be Vercel's internal Linear instance and an internal user member system showing fields like id, name, email, admin status, and timestamps > The seller explicitly pitched the supply chain angle, noting Vercel owns Next.js, Turbo.js, and the broader ecosystem, with 6 million weekly downloads for Next.js alone > Screenshots show Vercel reached out to ShinyHunters on Telegram asking them to stop contacting employees, confirming Vercel is aware and engaged > Vercel's official statement confirms "unauthorized access to certain internal Vercel systems" and says they've engaged incident response experts and notified law enforcement > Vercel says a "limited subset of customers" were impacted and they're reaching out directly > Vercel is recommending all customers review environment variables and enable the sensitive environment variable feature

Vercel has reportedly been breached by ShinyHunters. As of now, nobody else appears to be posting about this, so I’m sharing what I have. Here is the information I’ve gathered, along with screenshots provided by ShinyHunters. #cybernews #shinyhunters #breach #vercel #news

Mythos is not a bad name for a model but it would be better if Anthropic switched to using famous Claudes. Monet, Debussy etc. The final model that achieves AGI would obviously be Van Damme

One of the many reasons we need real competition. Two large labs is not enough and we need to ensure we have competitive open models.
Pato Molina@patomolina

Anthropic decidió dar de baja a toda nuestra organización por una supuesta infracción de sus condiciones de uso. Qué política específica infringimos no tengo ni la menor idea: simplemente recibimos un mail y listo, adiós Claude. Si querés apelar la medida hay que completar un Google Form, así de ridículo como suena. De golpe más de 60 personas se quedaron sin una herramienta fundamental para trabajar. Integraciones, skills, historial de conversaciones: todo perdido o, en el mejor de los casos, parado por tiempo indeterminado. Enorme aprendizaje para cualquier empresa de software que dependa de herramientas de IA en procesos críticos. Nunca hay que poner todos los huevos en una canasta.
