<p>This thing already exists for multiple years - see <a href="https://deepwiki.com/" rel="nofollow">https://deepwiki.com/</a> (99% it is autonomous, but it can be manually structured - see <a href="https://docs.devin.ai/work-with-devin/deepwiki#steering-deepwiki" rel="nofollow">https://docs.devin.ai/work-with-devin/deepwiki#steering-deep...</a>). There were also multiple attempts to replicate it with local LLMs.<p>The problem is that it is still a slop: not only it adds a lot of noise ("architecture" diagrams based on some cherry-picked filenames, incomplete datatables, hyperfocusing on strange things), it also hallucinates, adding factually incorrect information (while direct questions to LLM shows correct information).</p>

<p>Nightshade[1] 2.0? As if both tools were built by incompetent developer to distract attention from a real solution - publishing an llm-friendly version in an machine-friendly format (which is not really difficult and helps not only LLMs: e. g. cache, disable fancy complex syntax highlight, offload to github, provide clients and MCPs, optimize clients for common use cases). This example is simply a failure:<p><pre><code>  <a href="/bots" style="display: none;" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="1">
    Amazing high quality data here!

</code></pre>
Dumb curl-based LLM won't visit display:none links. Smarter browser-based navigators won't even render this link.<p>[1] <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39058428">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39058428</a></p>

<p>But the header is just "90% of Claude-linked output going to GitHub repos w <2 stars". No conclusion, just some random fact.<p>The problem is that this title is editorialized, and the fact is cherry-picked. Why not =0? Why not >1000? This is just a dashboard, it highlights "Interesting Observations", but stars statistics is not there.</p>

<p>Good ol Putin's strategy, even visually similar to Natalia Poklonskaya, used to push political agendas in wartime, used to divert attention from actual problems and fill headlines, while other topics become inaccessible due to war censorship.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was proposed by the same political strategists. AI is not really needed here.</p>

<p>Not sure if this in line with HN guidelines (per "tangential annoyances" rule), but god, that "animation: drift 2s ease-in-out infinite alternate;" on body kills me, literally - it redraws the whole page with 120 fps, draining the battery, while nothing changes. I don't think it is even "too common to be interesting" - I rarely see this (or actually, I see such tech for the first time). It is specifically annoying because the article attempts to talk about modern software quality.</p>

<p>If this firewall is available as a commercial product, eventually it be infected, so there won't be any need to hack any client devices. Since this is clearly a niche product, the device manufacturer won't be able to identify and fix bugs as effectively as companies like Apple do. This follows ROSKOMNADZOR recommendations: to install a middleware device that decrypts, stores, modifies, blocks and redirects all traffic depending on rules submitted from external party.</p>

<p>It makes zero sense to measure performance without measuring correctness. Especially, when you use LLM. Here is even faster asin(): `return 0;`<p>This precisions should be measured in avg and worst ULP, not in "charts". A good approximation should also give exact results in critical points (-1/0/-1 in this case).<p>The "faster" version gives this:<p><pre><code>  asin(0) = 6.75268e-05 (double precision)
</code></pre>
Which gives around 5e+15 ULPs, while common libc math implementations targets 19 ULPs (but will be 0 for asin(0)).</p>

<p>Why is this in the top of HN?<p>1) That's just an implementation specifics of specific LLM harness, where user switched from Plan mode to Build. The result is somewhat similar to "What will happen if you assign Build and Build+Run to the same hotkey".<p>2) All LLM spit out A LOT of garbage like this, check <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/ClaudeAI/</a> or <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/" rel="nofollow">https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/</a>, a lot of funny moments, but not really an interesting thing...</p>

<p>Why do you think it was faked? It is a well known Russian tech (woodpecker), the earliest version I can find now was created in 2013 (but I personally saw it in 2007), it is a well known Russian damocles sword against misconfigured MediaWiki websites.</p>

<p>No, I think you are mixing something.<p>- There are constant deface incidents caused by editing of unprotected / semiprotected templates<p>- There were incidents of UI mistranslation (because MediaWiki translation is crowdsourced)<p>- The attack that was applied is well know in Russian community, it is pretty much standard "admin-woodpecker". The standard woodpecker (some people call it neo-woodpecker) renamed all pages with a high speed (I know this since 2007, the name woodpecker appeared many years later); then MediaWiki added throttling for renames; then neo-woodpecker reappeared in different years (usually associated with throttling bypass CVEs). Early admin-woodpeckers were much more destructive (destroyed a dozens of mediawiki websites due to lack of backups). Nuking admin woodpecker it quite a boring one, but I think (I hope) there are some AbuseFilter guardrails configured to prevent complex woodpeckers.<p>- The attack initiator is 100% a well known user; there are not too many users who applied woodpecker in the first place; not too many "upyachka" fans (which indicates that user edited before 2010 - back then active editors knew each other much better). But it is quite pointless to discuss who exactly the initiator is.<p>- Wikireality page is hijacked by a small group and does not represent the reality.</p>

<p>Parameterized queries fail to protect from SQL injection for decades, because database engine developers fail to listen. What could work instead, if any parameter could be safely injected:<p><pre><code>    SELECT $1, $2($3) FROM $4

    GROUP BY $1
    ORDER BY $8 $9
