For the first one, I assume you mean a systematic review, not a peer review? I guess you're talking about this one:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10180699/

It has a Mechanism section which explains that when collagen is digested, one of the products of that is Gly-Pro-Hyp, which is what has the effects. I don't think that conflicts anything in this post?

New comment by flexagoon in "Claude Code Found a Linux Vulnerability Hidden for 23 Years"

Not OC, but I tried OpenCode with Gemini, Claude and Kimi, and all of them were completely unable to solve any non-trivial problems which are not easily solved with some existing algorithm.

I understand how people use those tools if all they do is build CRUD endpoints and UIs for those endpoints (which is admittedly what most programmers probably do for their job). But for anything that requires any sort of problem solving skills, I don't understand how people use them. I feel like I live in a completely different world from some of the people who push agentic coding.

Idk, at least in Apple's case it all refers to a voice assistant and some of the features integrated with it.

If they were like MS, they would add Siri into everything and then call it "Siri Cloud", "Siri Messages", etc (if they were even more like MS, iMessage would be "Siri 365 Communication Suite")

In what way is Linux kernel "developed in the US"?

Invoices have strict requirements and having the model accidentally hallucinate and make an incorrect invoice could put you in legal trouble. Besides, why would you pay for tokens instead of using a free tool?

"Richest 0.1%" is not some ultra wealthy billionaire class. Making $90k/year in the US already puts you in the 0.1% of richest people worldwide by income. I assume a fair share of the audience here makes this much.

Don't know what the data is for net worth, but given that the vast majority of people worldwide barely live paycheck to paycheck, I assume even a small amount of savings puts you in a very high percentile.

Yes, so it explicitly requires source attribution

> Finding a specific file by name across the system

> Linux: find / -name "config.txt"

This is not how you find a file across the entire system, you use plocate for that. find would take ages to do what plocate does instantly

Verbose? The new plugin manager's interface is literature just vim.pack.add({url}), not sure what is verbose about that

If a "developer" can't manage to read one paragraph in a readme, maybe the "developer tool" is not for them. As much as I usually hate gatekeeping, basic reading comprehension is a skill I'd happily gatekeep at.

uBlock's built in filters handle it just fine, since it's very basic blocking based on html classes of the elements

> I hope they can fix this in the long run.

There's nothing AA could "fix" here, this depends entirely on volunteers uploading the books. Your best way to help is to buy the books yourself, use a book scanning service (eg. 1dollarscan), and upload it to ZLib/LibGen.

You can also make a book request on ZLib, that way someone else will be able to do that for you if they want to
