I had a ton of fun using Kaitai to write an unpacking script for a video game's proprietary pack file format. Super cool project.

I did NOT have fun trying to use Kaitai to pack the files back together. Not sure if this has improved at all but a year or so ago you had to build dependencies yourself and the process was so cumbersome it ended up being easier to just write imperative code to do it myself.

tiktok influencers seem to love them because they can record strangers without them knowing. so there’s that…

Well limiting to specifically OP's example (M4 Mac), Asahi doesn't support it yet. :(

They mentioned “rebuilding” in EC2. Probably just moved that over to Azure and no longer are bothering with serverless :)

Yep. I've ran into this using Bugsnag for reporting on unhandled exceptions in Python-based lambda functions. The exception handler would get called, but because the library is async by default the HTTP request wouldn't make it out before the runtime was torn down.

I sympathize with OP because debugging this was painful, but I'm sorry to say this is sort of just a "you're holding it wrong" situation.

It's not AI but Ghidra has a cool feature called BSim which does something similar. Each function get's a "feature vector" which now that I think about it has some clear parallels to embeddings.

If you were using a user agent spoofing extension couldn't this be used to guess your "real" UA?

Not to discount your overall point, but you're comparing a 25% increase with a 75% decrease here. Not quite the same thing

Is the benefit of using a language server as opposed to just giving access to the codebase simply a reduction in the amount of tokens used? Or are there other benefits?

It’s early days but check out Tracecat. I’ve been playing with it a bit and love it!

Neat. Thanks!

How would you scan for your api keys on repos outside of your organization? I assumed this was a dev’s personal repo.

How does bedrock eliminate this problem?

Yeah, feels like we’re writing web/API frameworks from scratch again without any of the lessons learned along the way. Just a matter of time though i’m hoping
