This reminds me of when GPT-4 first released, the image capabilities were in preview and limited. A couple companies, including Perplexity, was leaking their API key on Replit & had early access by a couple weeks.

The dumb me at the time used it to do biology homework to do with diagrams instead of anything interesting...

I think the API endpoint was codenamed "rainbow" if I remember correctly. How time flies

Not to mention it is almost entirely vibe-coded.

This type of behavior ought to get them blacklisted from the internet.

1. The standard of living for the bottom 5% of society in terms of basic needs (food, water, shelter, and health) 2. Equality. The distance between the bottom and top in terms of economic and political power. Not just votes, but absolute power including if lobbying is allowed. 3. Hours of work per capita required to maintain current standard of living

Oh wow. Tangled's support for jujutsu is exactly what I've been looking for! There's my weekend gone to getting that self-hosted.

Love the place. Rent is good compared to the rest of the UK. People are friendly & welcoming. University isn't the best though.

Author works for that company. License is copied from https://github.com/xdgrulez/kafi which I presume was made for said company and therefore must contain the exception.

Rare Wales mention! I'm currently in Cardiff (capital of Wales)

Most jobs here are C#, Java, and Python. Job market is decent. Lots of people have been moving here lately as developers. Expect very low pay relative to London or US though.

I also know some people living in Cardiff but working remote for companies in Reading or Warwick. Also a few people working fully remote for Bluesky.

I'm personally moving out (to San Francisco) to pursue a startup though

I think on Firefox, if you right click and press screenshot, it lets you choose a component. Use that quite often

I get GitHub Copilot Pro for free for some reason. One day I checked and it was just there. So I use that until it runs out. When it does, https://synthetic.new with Kimi K2.5 works surprisingly well for small tasks where I still make all the decisions.

But I find no matter what I use, it still makes more sense to code by hand for anything that actually matters.

The things I've vibe coded are throwaway scripts to generate a gif, user scripts to tweak annoying websites, and various utilities that just need to work.

Very obvious with the GEMINI.md.

I wish there was a rule to ban AI submissions. Not because I think there's 0 value, but because there's just such a high volume and low signal to noise ratio

Could you link the story by any chance? I've been using Longhorn for a while and on one particular system, it has an odd tendency to corrupt XFS.

There are definitely levels to this. Yes I think it can be caught by automated scanners in theory. Either commit by commit scanning and reproducible builds or fuzzing and getting the behavioral differences between versions

Hence why you source data from multiple vendors I'd say. Rather than putting all eggs in one basket

There are so many scanners these days these things get caught pretty quick. I think we need either npm or someone else to have a registry that only lets through packages that pass these scanners. Can even do the virustotal thing of aggregating reports by multiple scanners. NPM publishes attestation for trusted build environments. Google has oss-rebuild.

All it takes is an `npm config set` to switch registries anyways. The hard part is having a central party that is able to convince all the various security companies to collaborate rather than having dozens of different registries each from each company.

Rather than just a hard-coded delay, I think having policies on what checks must pass first makes sense with overrides for when CVEs show up.

(WIP)

Did it? Just checked and my feed is still completely untranslated. I have my settings set as English. I hope they don't do the weird YouTube thing of translating things from languages you know into the language you set. Multilingual people exist

Utaite. Will find barely any anywhere else. Thankfully if you're in one of those sub-communities, you don't ever get recommended anything political or American.

I've personally found the repairability to be worth the price for me. I got the baseline $999 back when it launched & have done stupid things like spilling a whole gallon of milk on it. Had to take it apart & clean as well as replace the keyboard but now it's still chugging along. Used to own a MacBook & the keyboard started dying after a year with a failed A key. Very expensive to replace so I just remapped caps lock to A. Then the screen started getting weird color issues and dead pixels. A MacBook Neo does look attractive though. Probably better performance.

Stars occasionally correlate with quality but more often it's timing and naming. I have a total of 40k stars on GitHub, and I know the code is shit in most of those repos (many written back when I was 16-18 as I was just learning to code). Jumping on hype trains before they start is how you get stars.
