It had crossed my mind that an AI agent pentester would be an interesting product to build. Once again though, the labs are just going to build it because it’s a thin thin wrapper.

Beyond existing software with vulnerabilities, the really important aspect of this for Anthropic et al is that the gigatons of code that are being generated every day needs to be secured.

They’re basically interchangeable with cash. I don’t get the issue. The main frustration I have is that I cant buy myself a ticket with cash and then pay skymiles for my child. If they weren’t of an age that they must be on the same reservation it wouldn’t matter. Feels more like a limitation of Delta’s abacus that sits behind their mobile app.

As always, there are tradeoffs, and you can't walk everywhere or always have these types of mindful experiences. On the other hand, life is short and perhaps paradoxically, slower experiences can yield richer days.

Though I will say, HN is a pretty great source of information about major outages like the recent AWS and Cloudflare issues. I had a moment this morning where I thought, oh, is there a larger issue and then, oh, HN is down, huh, the next option is so far down my list that it's going to take me a moment to think of it.

I hope that serves as a testament to how great this site and the community is. Thanks for all your hard work keeping it that way!

In America the contrast is stark. Most of our public spaces prioritize cars instead of people. I’m lucky to live near the beltline in Atlanta. It’s incredible to see how people flock to the beltline for a car free experience. It’s such a rare thing in America. Where it exists you can see that there is tremendous demand for it. Supply on the other hand is unfortunately very difficult to deliver.

Absolutely rock bottom by far the worst driving experience ever. Ultimate driving experience indeed. Insane and subtle annoyance, major wtfbbq moments, endless alarm dinging when you exceed whatever speed limit it incorrectly read from a sign, and on and on. The slamming on of the parking brake as you approach a large blade of grass in reverse is nerve wracking and startling even when you know it’s going to happen.

On narrow streets and in parking lots it feels less maneuverable than my full size American SUV. It may have the same turning radius despite being half the size.

Your tweet is making me laugh because honestly you cannot exaggerate how bad this car is. Every time we get in and start going my wife and I share a moment of incredulity. How can they have made this car this bad?

I’ll be illiterate in that world, but my kids seem to grok it.

As a technologist I think "omg this is so cool" and it has been genuinely surprising to see how they actively rebuff it.
