I mean if your talking about packets, your already one abstraction over the real data Transmission, in wich is noisy. So bits can randomly flip, noise could be interpreted as bits, and bits could get lost. A much larger blast radius

Imagin i wanted to vibecode a claw machine. I might need a function called openClaw() to release the item. Perhaps im a huge microsoft fan, and use c# Now its OpenClaw()

And suddenly, unexplainably my bill would skyrocket?

The odds of water, being just at the right distance to the sun, etc i guess

Sure we dont know the chance of life emerging, the symbiotic relationship that provides power for cells, chance of multicells etc.

Do you actually believe that? And if yes, why? Just curious

I think comparing percentages inst quite fair, considering you have only two choices in the us, compared to the spectrum of choices un germany.

Wouldnt a fair counter argument be, that llms have been trained on way less fu ctional code though?

Like they are trained on a LOT of js code -> good at js Way less functional code -> worse performance?

The counterpoint is that you will learn jank.

If you started early webdev, you learned lots of tricks, that dont benefit a modern webdev. E.g soap, long polling, the JsonP workaround... and so on

Many of the Llm frameworks will be seen simular. Mcp is already kinda heading in the obsolete direction imo, as skills took over

Edit, reading the github description, which i should have done sooner, hints at dreams.

I dont know anything about neurosience But if dreaming is related enouth to visual perception, maybe a dream recorder might be somewhat possible

Tell me if im too conspiritorial. Wouldnt it makes sense to have bad censorship on information thats e.g a 8/10 on a guilty scala. And make sure the 10/10s stay censored? Let People assume they can uncensor some, and what they uncensor is representative for any censored information. While the parts that couldnt be uncensored are way worse?

New comment by td2 in "We pwned X, Vercel, Cursor, and Discord through a supply-chain attack"

td2 — Fri, 19 Dec 2025 03:14:57 +0000

It kinda is no? Discord uses mintlyfly. Minitlifly was vulnerable. And because they got access to mintlifly, discord was now also attackable
