understand?

It's really easy to understand that everything is typed as Any/Object/whatever upper bound type your statically-typed language of choice uses.

Desiring something better does not mean a lack of understanding of the status quo.

ooc, would you claim its the responsibility of the security researcher to remove the webshell, or the company's as soon as they were notified? was it publically discoverable and exploitable or was there some form of protection?

in tech, we (frequently are expected to) work 5x12!

something something you're paid the amount the market values your work, which in today's job market is an order of magnitude less than the profit you bring the company

I don't have an account but my colleauges do as my company uses the platform.

By self-service, do you mean that the SDK generators are now source-available so they can be run by end users locally?

Every object in git (commit, tree, revision of a single file) has a hash that is guaranteed unique within a repository (otherwise many more things than a web UI would break) and likely also globally. I can understand wanting to isolate repositories to prevent hash collisions from causing problems, but within a repo everything has a universally unique ID.

edit: for instance, that specific VERBS.md is represented by the blob 3b9a46854589abb305ea33360f6f6d8634649108.

elaborate on the problem, for those of us that this is not obvious to?

While it would be a hilarious failure mode to encounter, this is actually a good thing!

These models already have the skills that humans were using them for, so either by training the models to use subagents or simply inlining the work done by the AI, you have a much easier time training the model to perform tasks from a human-distribution. The humans have done the work of making the human-distribution look more like an AI distribution.

Open access typically means authors pay a publication fee, which leads to the same result of the government paying twice and the journal profiting twice.

  nah: Actor-Critic Models
  ayy: Actor Model

In seriousness, huge fan! multi-agent systems are inherently distributed systems, and we've solved the problem of organizing distributed systems before through actors.

...Just wait until we get multi-agent systems with enough agents to need distributed consensus!

New comment by arjvik in "//go:fix inline and the source-level inliner"

arjvik — Sun, 15 Mar 2026 23:04:30 +0000

recover()'s semantics make it so that "pointless" use like this can be inlined in a way that changes its semantics, but "correct" use remains unchanged.

Yes, maybe some code uses recover() to check if its being called as a panic handler, and perhaps `go fix` should add a check for this ("error: function to be inlined calls recover()"), but this isn't a particularly common footgun.

Not to take away from this cool project, but its design decisions are incredibly impractical.
