I strongly agree with antirez. I believe that an intellectually honest programmer should recognize where their knowledge and experience is mostly beneficial, and at this point (and we've seen clear signs for some time) coding is largely solved. Which doesn't mean that you can just prompt at a very high level, but that iterating with the LLM over decisions, designs and tests, will essentially allow you to not write a single line of code by hand. Software engineering is not just coding, and it involves a whole set of other tasks requiring direction and creativity that can greatly influence the quality and impact of the software.

The most common arguments against this view seem to arise either from ideological resistance, which I understand given how painful it can be to see one’s job at risk or an important part of one’s identity taken away, or from generalizing a small number of experiences with LLMs to the technology as a whole. In the latter case, those experiences may also be heavily conditioned by the user’s inexperience in working with LLMs, or by the specific use case in which they were applied. There are still certain tasks that not all models can handle reliably as of now, however some can (usually the most expensive), and they will likely continue to improve over time.

This is something we have known for a very long time, and companies are not trying to hide that either. They do it to avoid letting competitors train their models on the CoTs

I had checked that page not long ago, and as far as I remember there were many "red" or "orange" days in the past 3 months. Now it's all green. That's concerning

The "Stop. You know nothing." comment was apparently a reference to this tweet. https://x.com/CodyRhodes/status/980680154098757632

Embarassing nonetheless

You're right, pardon my cynical remark. I'm just disillusioned by the promises of most tech companies

I had checked as soon as I found out about the news the other day and it was there. I just checked on wayback machine and you're right, it was removed for some time. However, if they're willing to put back that claim immediately, I doubt that their intention was to drop the free plan anytime soon, but probably it was to incentivize people to use the paid plans. Enshittification must happen sooner or later afterall, but fortunately vaultwarden exists and the export feature is highly unlikely gonna be removed immediately as the free plan disappears, so people could just switch to a third-party or self-hosted backend as soon as that happens.

This is an incredible overraction over a minor change that did not even happen. You can still find "Always free" in the pricing line of the very same page everyone keeps linking as proof https://bitwarden.com/products/personal/#whats-the-differenc...

Edit: it actually disappeared for some time but they put it back on May 18

Except for guessing the right continent (not that remarkable), mine is so majestically wrong that I would either dislike or fully hate all of the products I got recommended.

comedy is a completely different thing than natural tone. I agree that they’re incapable of coming up with decent jokes

You can make an LLM sound very natural if you simply ask for it and provide enough text in the tone you’d like it to reproduce. Otherwise, it’s obvious that an LLM with no additional context will try to stick to the tone the company aligned it to produce

I totally agree. The authors have found a security vulnerability in a mechanism that wasn’t even trying to protect the software from attacks. I don’t see any relevance in this paper except being a good exercise

New comment by craigmart in "Telegram has launched a pretty intense campaign to malign Signal as insecure"

craigmart — Mon, 13 May 2024 13:30:55 +0000

The point is that you don't have to trust them because the client (where the relevant cryptography is performed) is open source and the fact that my links point to signal.org is completely irrelevant, those blog posts are just ways to advertise facts that are freely verifiable. You can read the source code to check the implementation of sealed senders or how the social graph is handled.

NSA can hack into Signal's infrastructure, and what they will be able to gather are the same information provided by Signal in reply to subpoenas (the whole list here https://signal.org/bigbrother/), because everything else is end-to-end encrypted.

You are speaking of metadata as if all metadata is equal. Signal does collect phone numbers (even though, since usernames have been introduced [1], this can be made opt in from now on), but not the contacts or social graph, neither many other relevant metadata [2]. What they can gather from this, is only when the specified phone number registered to signal services and its last connection to the server [3].

So, if you can call "metadata exchanging app" an app that simply has a list of numbers registered to the service, without any metadata assigned to them except their last access, the same label could be assigned to a much larger number of services.

It may not be anonymous, but it can hardly be disregarded as private.
