Is that better? I'd much rather have someone trying to build a good product to sell to willing buyers at a fair price than some zealot who thinks he's going to usher in the second coming and end the world or something.
I'm sorry because I love the scratch project but this has to be said: they found XSS in SVGs in a surface with attacker-controlled access to Node and their fix was sanitizing it using regex??? And this was discovered by a user on scratch?
Even worse, OP's latest post "Every version of Scratch is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution" just tells you how exactly to exploit something similar today in the current version with no mention of responsible disclosure except a plug to say, "hey, check out my project, this one doesn't have RCE!" This is so irresponsible it borders on malicious.
Valuations are based on future expected earnings, not revenue. It cost Ford a lot of money to make that $60k car. The margins for AI companies are unknown but the market is pricing that they’ll be higher at one point. Not that they’ll attract more revenue from the average person.
On the other hand, I can ask codex “what would an implementation of X look like” and it talks to me about it versus Claude just going out and writing it without asking. Makes me like codex way more. There’s an inherent war of incentives between coding agents and general purpose agents.
I will never stop hating on the orphan rule, a perfect summary of what’s behind a lot of rust decisions. Purism and perfectionism at the cost of making a useful language, no better way to torpedo your ecosystem and make adding dependencies really annoying for no reason. Like not even a —dangerously-disable-the-orphan-rule, just no concessions here.
Rust is the wrong language for effects ironically because of its strict typing. They would probably decide that all effects have to be specified on every function or that any change in capabilities is a breaking change. Which is safest, but horrible for dev ex. Whereas Go most people would just be like “yeah, Hyrum’s law, sorry I broke your weird effect consumer, I don’t really care.”
This is really good! I like how it reads like a blog post, it feels like I'm learning a skill on how to write good skills. Maybe that's another heuristic, a skill should read like an interesting blog post, highlighting non-obvious information.
I don’t really get the bus analogy. It seems like it massively increases latency but as soon as you’re “on the bus” throughput is normal? When in reality (if I understand correctly) opus-fast is just giving you a bigger portion of the batch so increasing throughput with little affect on latency? (I’m assuming anthropic gets enough volume that these batches fill up pretty much instantly)
I find it funny that backend devs will do all this infrastructure work to support billions of real time messages and then frontend devs stomp all over it by making the app take 500MB of RAM and hundreds of ms to take basic actions.
There’s one specific thing driving me insane: it corrects “we’re” to “were” and “we’ll” to “well” EVERY TIME. It even did it while writing this comment. If I go into the symbols menu and find an apostrophe and type it in IT MEANS I MEANT TO PUT IT THERE
I like how this implies parsing PDFs is as hard as like protein folding
