@skwp Here's the thing you need to think about. If AI is so smart and so useful, why are we even asking it to write software to solve problems for us? Shouldn't the AI just do the thing we need?

@unclebobmartin This real time diary style reporting of your personal AI wins and losses is amazing. Thank you for going through effort to document. I think if everyone did something similar, we'd actually make progress much faster

The AI was in a quagmire. I forced it to change something deep and systematic (which map it was reading). It struggled to keep all the tests passing. Every change thwarted it. Then I noticed, as I watched its comments scroll up on the screen, that it was softening the assertions on some of the tests in order to get them pass. For example, instead of asserting the final position of a fighter, it asserted that the fighter had burned the right amount of fuel. Now this is possibly a good change. By reducing visibility the test may not be within its rights to assert a final location since the computer may not know that position is reachable. On the other hand, it might just be the AI cheating to get the tests to pass. So now I have to scrutinize those changes it made. I'm going to do this by interrogating the AI on a case by case basis, and demand that it justify each move.

I’ve created a new brain for myself where I just upload all the articles I saved for myself to read and learn later into Claude. So now Claude knows the things I want to learn and implement and I can just make Claude implement them

Utah Avalanche Center
Record-breaking warm temperatures will destabilize the snowpack across the state, increasing the avalanche danger. Wet avalanches could occur on all aspects and at all elevations. Avoid travel on and below steep slopes, including avalanche runout zones and terrain traps.

@RevIQ_Solutions @sama Most open source licenses require that you at least give the original authors credit. If they become anonymous it's because those licenses were violated

@sama This. Every line of code we take for granted today was someone's all-nighter, someone's debug session, someone's stubborn refusal to quit. We're standing on giants' shoulders—and they're mostly anonymous.

I have so much gratitude to people who wrote extremely complex software character-by-character. It already feels difficult to remember how much effort it really took. Thank you for getting us to this point.

@Logocentrik @datsonperiod @kevinonymous @sama In the US every work is copyright protected whether you ask for it or not. That's why open source licenses need to exist, to explicitly give permission to copy the code. Most of those licenses require you to at least give credit to the copyright holder. AI never ever does this.

@datsonperiod @kevinonymous @sama I do know how AI works. Not every work is copyrighted - most aren't. People are upset that AI companies train their models on Facebook and reddit conversations and open journal publications, which are all open and public.

@Trezor @philip_dath I am a current user of Trezor Model One. Is this product only at risk of being cracked if it is stolen? As long as the product itself is not stolen, there is no risk? Why was this product removed from the shelves? Is it because it's not safe?

This would explain Meta's heavy lobbying for age verification. It's a useful side effect that it conveniently shifts any responsibility for what kids see from parents who can't be bothered to set parental controls to governments that never met surveillance tech they didn't like.
vx-underground@vxunderground

Yeah, so basically the current prevailing schizo internet theory is that AI nerds have destroyed the internet and created infinite spam. The advertisement goons are now incapable of determining who is a bot and who is an actual human. The advertisement goons no longer want to pay as much to social media networks. Social media networks, in full blown panic of losing potential revenue, decided to lobby governments saying "we gotta protect the kids! ID everyone to protect the kids from pedophiles!". The social media networks know this doesn't really protect kids. But, it does two things (and a third accidentally). 1. They now can identify who is human and who is AI slop machine, or enough to appease the advertisement goons 2. Advertising to children is a general no-no from politicians, or something, so with ID verification they can say with confidence they're not advertising to children because it's been ID verification. Basically, they can weed out the children and focus on advertising to adults 3. The feds can now tell who is human and who is AI slop. This inadvertently helps them with tracking people and serving fresh daily dumps of propaganda, or whatever they want to do. It's a win-win-win for advertisers, social media networks, the government, and any business which does data collections. It fucks over everyone else. Chat, I'm not going to lie to you. This is an extremely good conspiracy schizo theory and I unironically believe it.

@enclose_horse Hopped back on X to say: make it a hard mode thing! Like, if you set your preference to hard mode, you don't see the Check button. And optionally, you could have two graphs, or only graph Hard Mode players.

Almost every piece of feedback recently has been about the 'check' button. It was a very requested feature, however once implemented, I was inundated with feedback to remove it. Then when removed, inundated again to put it back in. Community is divided on this one

@tolkienthoughts Alright the original song came up somewhat randomly as I was listening to music today and I pulled this up to read along as it played, and dang, you nailed it!

Signal@signalapp·
We are aware of recent reports regarding targeted phishing attacks that have resulted in account takeovers of some Signal users, including government officials and journalists. We take this very seriously. To be clear: Signal’s encryption and infrastructure have not been compromised and remain robust. These attacks were executed via sophisticated phishing campaigns, designed to trick users into sharing information – SMS codes and/or Signal PIN – to gain access to users’ accounts. 1/4

@FiveEyeTea @mahdi @signalapp @all_secured I've been following passkeys for years. I worked at a company with someone who is in the standards group. I peppered him with questions, made suggestions, and it's all so disappointing. Amazing potential, lots of over complication and making Perfect the enemy of Good Enough
