Being affected downstream means it's a security incident regardless? I don't understand why you think this is misleading, incomplete context in the title? Sure.

Yeah, but every now and then someone working for Anthropic tweets something, everyone quotes it as gospel, but there's no official statement anywhere on their website. They have the worst communication ever, it's one of the things I like the least about Anthropic.

I've talked to someone who has worked at those companies, and they drink the koolaid that people like Sam Altman shove down your throat, even when its blatantly bullshit.

Note that both Sam Altman and Dario have conveniently watered down AGI, and moved away from "trying to achieve AGI" essentially.

I don't get the obsession with more code. Whatever happened to good development practices? Many of which, if followed allow LLMs to work more efficiently ironically enough. I would rather hear that you've fixed bugs that have stumped your dev team for years, and have had next to no outages, to me that's more valuable than just slopping features out the door.

I do .NET full time, every shop I've worked at was on Azure. It makes the most sense for .NET developers, but I'd personally prefer to just rent dedicated servers at this point.

It's the cryptobro craze but for AI. It's tiresome, I don't have AI fatigue, I love using Claude, I have aibro fatigue. I'll lump in the people all in on AI, and that includes anyone who hates it vehemently because they just have to sour conversations.

At some point, you wont even own the IP, companies will haggle for which IPv4 port you "own" instead.

> There is a long-lived and incredible community of classic gaming emulation work online for it to reference. And that community has created…conformance tests! Opus found them and built against one, that has >3k golden instructions

I'm doing something similar but not for an emulator, using tests other projects in a similar space use to validate things.

I also know a friend that feeds Claude Gherkin formatted test criteria, and apparently that yields insanely good Claude output.

Honestly, maybe the real answer is someone needs to make IPv8 or whatever as a better alternative that's easier to adopt? sigh.

What I really don't understand is IPv6 has been around... decades now... why the heck havent we started forcing it more and more?
