this site has some popup that hijacks the page and tries to trick you into installing an antivirus with fake infection reports. Closing that popup sends you to walmart.com

In my experience, audit findings decrease in frequency as a codebase matures. Was Fable doing greenfield work?

They measured density, not the probability of getting one.

A bunch of links open a hardcoded browser (like help links within Visual Studio). Executives have OKRs to meet.

I find that when an LLM jumps into tasks it was not told to do (or even worse, doing things it was explicitly told not to), it is a good sign the context is too full, and you should do a controlled hand-off to a new instance.

I have an optane and lots of ram, so I tried full-fat models for writing some function overnight, as I get about 0.7 t/s. My current go-to test is to update a scalar function to transpose a bit-matrix to one using avx512. the cloud models all play with that like its nothing. Kimi 2.6 and GLM 5.1 both failed miserably.

I think its common to develop an adversarial-collaborative approach to getting some semblance of quality out of AI. I personally favour using multiple models for different roles, having a bunch of continuity documentation maintained, and having the plan surface human-verifiable deliverables as soon as feasible. It does involve more attention than most people would tolerate probably.

Code review is the main thing I use LLMs for. I have found it to be remarkably candid when you tell it the code came from another LLM (even name it). I was running Kimi K2.6 Q4 locally, seeing if it could SIMD a bit-matrix transpose function, and it was slow enough that I would paste its thinking into Gemini every few minutes. Gemini was savage.

They are redeveloping much of that electron-based code back to Win32 as part of their quality improvement initiative.

Haven't there already been a few cases, each of which found that mechanically-produced works are not copywritable?

If I had to guess it would be "campaign contributions".

Agreed. I believe it's well within Google's ability to auto-edit the sponsored segments out within an acceptable error margin.

If you don't exclude your build folders from the scan it will slow everything down tremendously.

Do investors ever say "ok, time to panic"? Aren't they always just going to shill their bags? Why should we listen to them?

It's in the article. I'm happy to read the bill and watch your linked video once my workday is over.

> In the sense that you can sue to have the order challenged?

That's a good question. The article doesn't say and I haven't read the bill.

> Were the bank accounts seized before or after the conviction?

Before, of course. That was one of the justifications for invoking the emergency powers, and it wouldn't have been controversial otherwise. This is a digression, though, as there is no mention of any legislative changes to bank account seizures in the article.
