If this prompt injection doesn’t work then what’s the big deal? If it does work, then what on earth is the whole industry doing feeding untrusted documents to LLMs?

HN title mangling strikes again. “How embryos shape their limbs” and “Embryos shape their limbs” are completely different titles for a discovery.

And there are basic things that shouldn’t be subjective at all but that the IRS refuses to give a clear answer to, like if/how the SALT cap affects deduction for NIIT. There are at least 3 possible interpretations and no consensus.

The Mercurial project has been incrementally rewriting core operations in Rust for several years now. As Pierre-Yves says in the talk, you can do an hg status on a million-file repo in 100ms. I rewrote hg annotate (aka blame) in Rust last year.

Programming languages take a long time to build. Zig is a more ambitious project than most. I see lots of progress in these release notes and I'm happy to "give a pass" for the fact that it's not finished.

No one's been giving passes bewildering or otherwise for sweeping issues under the rug, because that didn't happen. The 0.16 release notes are linking to plenty of GitHub issues. If you have additional information to post on an issue then you can copy it to Codeberg: https://codeberg.org/ziglang/zig/issues/30027

Glad I switched from their personal computer backup to using restic + B2 a while ago. Every night my laptop and homelab both back up to each other and to B2. It takes less than a minute and I have complete control over the exclusions and retention. And I can easily switch off B2 to something else if I want.

I recently tried disabling notification in LinkedIn. The designers and engineers working there who created the notifications settings are truly evil. You have to go through 14 categories. Some of them let you toggle the whole category at once, some don't. Some categories are split into 8 more subcategories.

No, that’s a different thing. “noreturn” is like Rust’s “never” type (spelled as an exclamation mark, !). Also known as an “uninhabited type” in programming language theory.

I took the current events as an opportunity to try switching to Claude and I actually like it much better so far.

It does not, at all. Forming that judgment because of “Enter X” is ridiculous. I recognize my friend Claude in disguise all the time on HN and this is not one of those cases.

Notice the “quiet” at the end. LLMS love to shoehorn “quiet” or “quietly” into their writing. I learned this from Sam Kriss’s NYT piece and I keep noticing it now.

This is one of the best posts on I’ve read on this topic in the years since ChatGPT launched. Was hoping it would have gotten more discussion here!

How do we know if newcomers are real? I thing bigDinosaur is reacting to the fact that OP’s entire post and replies appear LLM generated.

The "knowledge base" at the bottom is 100% slop. Why? Why inflict this on people?
