<p>>If we are all supposed to be talking to agents now, what's the difference[...]?<p>it's a little cringe, but arguably the benefit of having agents use rails would be tht when you review and audit the agent produced code, you review something that is, as you put it: "beautiful and simple code" and "making it easy to reason about..."<p>I loved rails back in 2017. I may be an outlier but the line tempts me to try it again despite having adopted the who cares attitude to langs. Would be nice to hear from someone first hand if they felt it helped.</p>

Access to Camera and Microphone"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>Article was a bit of a nothingburger for the technically inclined.<p>Digging into the paper, the significant finding (RCE) is achieved via:<p>A payload was written which installs a reverse shell backdoor for root persistence. The payload was sent from a computer hosting a Wi-Fi to which the watch was connected, to ensure the watch had a reachable IPv4 address.
The program ncat was used both to send the payload to the watch's network service, and to catch reverse shell connections.<p>So if i understand this- it requires the watch being connected to a compromised AP. Anyone get a different read?</p>

<p>Very curious project! Enjoyed the storytelling buildup on the site.<p>Digging into the repo i can see over 50 open issues from the past few days with a lot of requests for refunds.<p>Are there any "success stories" ? Could go a long way to building trust in the tool.</p>

<p>the field is advancing so fast it's hard to do real science as their will be a new SOTA by the time you're ready to publish results. i think this is a combination of that and people having a laugh.<p>Would you mind sharing which benchmarks you think are useful measures for multimodal reasoning?</p>

<p>> Definitely, like drug dealers, you know they're cutting the good stuff with low cost cached gibberish.<p>Can confirm. My partner's chatGPT wouldnt return anything useful for her  given a specific query involving web use, while i got the desired result sitting side by side. She contacted support and they said nothing they can do about it, her account is in an A/B test group without some features removed. I imagine this saves them considerable resources despite still billing customers for them.<p>how much this is occurring is anyones guess</p>
