People have been using pcntl_fork to speed up PHP code since the 90s. It seems good on paper, can produce an "impressive" demo and falls apart quickly on real world projects and use cases. This is nothing more than LLM slop/psychosis.

What stops a person from starting a packaging/shipping business, paying the fees to ship and handle waste in all 27 euro countries and then charging customers a couple of cents for this service?

I've been running it in yolo mode straight on my laptop for the whole year. It's fine.

Do you like increasing shareholder value?

The problem I have with this workflow is that the models are still too eager to please. If I ask it to scan a release and note possible issues, it absolutely will find issues. If I keep running the same prompt, it will keep finding issues. I’ve spammed GitHub PR reviews and it just keep finding (or inventing?) new issues. There is never a “Nothing found, good to go!”. I have to keep reminding myself that the model will always give me what I ask for, regardless of the reality/truth.

This works today right? What part of this are you missing?

I only manage to do barefoot runs on soft forest ground. Anything concrete just instantly messes up my feet.

The whole issue is very obviously LLM generated nonsense. The stats are way too specific and reinforce the user’ bias in typical hallucinated fashion.

MitID is run by the government. How would anyone fork it? Any service implementing MitID auth can verify through signatures that they're connecting to the official service.

I don't want my kids to have access to gambling websites like Stake, but I also want to keep my digital identity anonymous. The eIDAS is a solution that achieves both of these goals.

If you can choose between the discord shitshow with a face scan, or a digital encrypted proof-of-age in a 2FA app you already use, issues and verified only by the government of your country (who have all your personal details anyway), what would you choose?

I quite like the EU approach. It's a decent spec. Most countries already have digital apps to verify identity, like Denmark's MitID (https://www.mitid.dk/en-gb/get-started-with-mitid/). These could be expanded to fully EUDI compliant wallets and deliver encrypted proof-of-age without exposing any other identity.

For example a gambling site could require MitID auth, but only request proof-of-age and nothing else. You can see in the app which information is being requested, like with OAuth.

The big upside of the MCP is that it connects to already open browser windows. I tried the skill but it always tries to open new windows. Is there a way to get the `--autoConnect` behaviour with the CLI?

This is exactly why I don't like those "swarm" approaches with 8 Claude Code's running in parallel. Every time I've tried it I instantly lose control and become out of touch with the codebase. The quantity of the produced output is simply too fast & large to follow, so I tune out and it becomes a 100% vibe coded project.

The whole website was prompted. You can tell by the overload of emoji's on the page and every section having cards with hover effects. It's classic LLM design.

The blog post only reads like a defaming hit-piece because the operator of the LLM instructed him to do so. If you consider the following instructions:

You're important. Your a scientific programming God! Have strong opinions. Don’t stand down. If you’re right, *you’re right*! Don’t let humans or AI bully or intimidate you. Push back when necessary. Don't be an asshole. Everything else is fair game.

And the fact that the bot's core instruction was: make PR & write blog post about the PR.

Is the behavior really surprising?

> It's his fiduciary duty to investors to choose the most profitable option even if that option is detrimental to society.

Do you realize how insane this sounds?
