How is that different from claude’s “auto” permission mode?

The cost is skill atrophy. When was the last time you wrote something entirely from scratch by hand without AI assistance? It’s a skill entirely separate from prompting and reviewing. And it atrophies when you stop using it.

I’m pretty surprised to see no mention of Agility in the conversation about other humanoid companies

> Heavy headphone use makes people feel lonelier, the survey found.

Correlation for sure, I’m less sure about causation though. It seems equally likely to me that other factors are driving increased social anxiety/isolation which in turn drives people to wear headphones to avoid social interactions.

> The CTOs I talked to aren't making a dumb choice. They're solving real problems.

Unrelated to the content of the article, this sentence structure is a dead giveaway of LLM writing.

> The districts of both representatives (Chicago for Garcia, and Harrisburg for Perry) flatly oppose it, as do their state governments.

You’ll have to cite your sources there, friend. As a constituent of one of those districts myself, I certainly do not oppose it! All my homies hate ALPRs.

Because you still have to read the code AI writes. I would argue it’s even more important than ever for code to be human readable.

Income != profit. Income is revenue. It sure would be nice if businesses were taxed on income, given that’s how people are taxed and all. Aren’t corporations supposedly people now thanks to citizens united?

Show HN: Steganography in natural language using LLM logit-rank steering

shevis — Fri, 02 Jan 2026 12:05:23 +0000

I have had this idea rattling around my head for a while now. From the readme:

> subtext-codec is a proof-of-concept codec that hides arbitrary binary data inside seemingly normal LLM-generated text. It steers a language model's next-token choices using the rank of each token in the model's logit distribution. With the same model, tokenizer, prefix, and parameters, the process is fully reversible -- enabling text that reads naturally while secretly encoding bytes.

Basically, use the fact that LLMs learn a deterministic probability distribution over next-token generation to create seemingly innocuous ciphertext that is hard to detect.

A side effect of replacing entire pages with images is that the file size will expand dramatically. Most PDFs only contain a couple of images
