I don't think that's a very good comparison. People can drive a car without an expert but they can't build a car. People can use software without being an expert but still require an expert to build software.

AI could provided assistance with building both cars and software, but you still need a decent level of knowledge in either field to get a good result.

American politics often have a blast radius of the entire world, Swedish politics less so

The guy running the twitter account is incompetent but the actual devs are a lot saner I think.

I agree it reflects poorly on them though

Drew should include himself on that list, he’s earned it.

Is it cheap? `chat-latest` on https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/pricing is showing $5/$30 input/output which is the same price as gpt-5.5

Yes I have the "Google AI Pro" plan from here https://gemini.google/subscriptions/ and you can login to the Gemini CLI with oauth

Anyone know if this is available in the Gemini CLI with a subscription (not api key)? Still seeing only Gemini 3 pro preview

Is it AI generated though?

I've been doing some reverse engineering recently and have found Gemini 3 Pro to be the best model for that, surprisingly much better than Opus 4.5. Maybe it's time to give Codex a try

That's what I thought too, but the article says it was submitted to ZDI and they handled the communication with Posthog

Out of interest, how much does ZDI pay for a bug like this?

They do scan but they miss a lot. The frequency decreased after Github started scanning all repositories but I still report leaked secrets to bug bounty programs pretty often. Unfortunately Home Depot don't have a bug bounty program so I don't scan them.

No because it allows you to set the bozo bit on them and completely disregard anything they say in the future

You can find a dozen projects on Github that do this, it's not sensitive information that needs protecting

They're great if you need raw processing power but they have a very backwards, German view of the internet where even a port scan is considered abuse. It's very easy to get your machine nullrouted or account closed.

I use them a lot for backend data processing but anything public facing I host at AWS or Digital Ocean who have a more reasonable approach to the internet.

I looked into swapping to Apple Music before but couldn't find a way to play lossless music on Linux making swapping pointless. Apparently[0] decryption for lossless isn't supported for 3rd party clients.

Anyone know of a way around this?

New comment by lkt in "Show HN: Creating a Snake game clone with Rust/Bevy"

lkt — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 04:27:05 +0000

Bevy has a lot of features enabled by default that add to the size. You can get bevy-snake down to 12 MB (3.2 MB gzipped, 1.9 MB brotli'd) if you only enable rendering and sprites, and strip the function names section.

It's still a little bigger than I would like, but it's not terrible.
