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

I think you have a very skewed view of what people interested in cryptocurrency are like.

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?

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.

That's absolutely not the case, HN is mostly people who think they're geniuses because they can program computers. Read the comments on any post about a topic you know a lot about and you'll see it's full of people talking very confidently about things they know very little about. There are of course some very smart people mixed in, but it's hard to pick those people out from the noise.
