do consider that in Italy most credit cards cost around ~30€ per year + a 2€ tax for all months you spend more than ~70€ and most offer no benefits. Debit cards are offered for free by all banks. So credit is only used to rent cars (not really mandatory anymore) and if you really need the credit (but other ways of getting short term credit exist now).

I think one of the points of TFA was that other AI tools found many vulnerabilities; after having fixed those, mythos did find another vulnerability the others missed, but that seems to imply this model is only marginally better than the competition instead of being on a different league altogether like it's marketed. Paraphrasing the author: sure mythos will find lots of security issues in gnutls, but so will gpt or opus (they acknowledge explicitly that all those tools are getting very good).

the article begins like this:

> Yesterday, I read a Wikipedia page for a book I’m about to review. I am still unsettled.

> The page was stripped of reality, and in its place was a sanitized fairytale where Putin is good and the book — a brutal and damning historic account of Soviet abuses — is subtly and not so subtly undermined from every direction.

We have no idea which book that was and what was so unsettling about that entry

I did not say they did not read the title of the article. They clearly did. It's the rest of the content that was lost, such as the long focus on the sloppiness of the API provider

The article author did not even bother to read the article they were basically replying to. Otherwise he would have noticed that the main points the OP was complaining about were not about the agent, but the hosting provider providing an API allowing destructive operations easily, using tokens with no scopes, with backups stored in the same volume as main data, etc. So this article is actually agreeing with the complaints of the original article, just more generically and without spending an effort on it, doing that with a tone that implies the original article writer is an idiot.

I found it unsettling that in an article about political manipulation the author did not provide a link to the book entry

In general, with per minute rate limiting you limit load spikes, and load spikes are what you pay for: they force you to ramp up your capacity, and usually you are then slow to ramp down to avoid paying the ramp up cost too many times. A VM might boot relatively fast, but loading a large model into GPU memory takes time.

IANAL, but I think open source started with software since software has source and binary form. Now with compression and other shenanigans, probably even videos or images could be argued to have a source and binary form. I don't know a thing about multimedia, but people here saying this "open source" release is a good thing mention specifically the fact that it's the uncompressed version, or as the FSF would call it, "the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it".

The guy is actually the maintainer of those packages. So whoever got his credentials became able to perform releases on those packages. NPM itself does not build any package, it's just a place where people can publish stuff
