The situation is confusing, so can I please confirm the following:

* "Cursor Editor" is a fork of VS Code

* The "Claude Code for VS Code" extension, v2.1.313, was compromised specifically on the Cursor Editor extension marketplace / distribution system

* The "Claude Code for VS Code" extension for regular VS Code on the official VS Code extension marketplace was not affected

Followup question: was a v2.1.313 also published on the official VS Code marketplace? If so, your statement is that that version was not compromised?

I was under the impression that most credential managers won't allow you to export a passkey to a plain text format, but will only allow limited app-to-app transfer of keys (with a limited selection of compatible apps only)

that "fiber" is chemically modified resistant starch

the FDA allows it to be called fiber, but it acts differently in the body to the soluble and insoluble fiber that most people are familiar with

IMO, it's a mistake to treat fiber as a single, fungible food component, rather than as a family of different substances with different health effects

if you're looking for "easy fiber intake", there is much more and stronger evidence for psyllium-based soluble fiber, widely available in cheap and convenient drinks like metamucil (I prefer formulations without the dye and maltodextrin, but that's getting into the weeds)

Are you speaking in the abstract, or would you, personally, like that when reading a blog?

Speaking for myself, I have absolutely no interest in reading anything written by an LLM that I didn't prompt myself, under really any circumstances I can think of.

the idea of the owners of a small, regional US news website being arrested while traveling in Europe because that site does not have a GDPR compliant cookie policy seems utterly detached from reality

I would be more worried about being struck by a meteorite than such a thing

replying with LLM generated text without clearly labelling it as LLM generated text is inherently dishonest

I'm a pretty civil person, but I won't go out of my way to be extra polite to someone who is being actively being dishonest towards me

What is an "encephalitis stab"?

I'm also not trying to get into an argument, but totally disagree, and honestly believe that your attitude leads to an untenable breakdown of the social contract.

I don't agree with use of the tongue-in-cheek term "riff raff" for unhoused people living in tents and shanties on the sideway. And I think such people deserve help.

But yes, they have less of a right to live on the sidewalk than the right of people and businesses that pay rent and expect public spaces that are usable, safe, and free of people so intoxicated that they have lost contact with reality and are not safe to be around.

> All surfaces should be comfortably above the dew point to prevent mold.

I agree that this should be the case, but actually achieving this in the UK (where heating is very expensive and housing is poorly insulated) is prohibitively expensive for many people.

> Maybe some of my difficultly understanding is being American

In the UK, in winter, ambient exterior air is both fairly cold (let's say 40F) and extremely humid, often around 80% relative humidity.

Houses are both poorly insulated and poorly ventilated. Heating is (relatively) very expensive.

Most housing units don't have clothes dryers, and it's common to dry clothing indoors on wire racks.

The net result is that you end up with extremely humid indoor air in the 55F-65F range, while the exterior walls and windows of the building never really heat up properly.

It's a recipe for condensation on the interior surfaces of those walls and windows.

You can fix this either by heating the building enough that the exterior walls actually heat up beyond the dew point (which few people can afford to do), or by keeping windows open in winter to provide some ventilation (which makes the already-poorly-heated building even less comfortable).

After finishing the article, I am left with a much deeper suspicion of the felony murder rule, and of plea deals in general, than I am of giving minors the same sentences as adults.

That's not to say that I agree with giving minors adult sentences. But it doesn't seem the worst thing about the cases discussed here.

In the US this always seems to be called "overdraft protection", as in "do you want overdraft protection on your account?"

I can never remember if overdraft protection means "we won't let your account overdraft", or "we will let your account overdraft"

It is an incredibly confusing name to me

I could look up the answer now, but I know I will just forget it again. I must have looked it up and then forgotten at least 10 separate times over the years

This is sometimes because a rule somewhere is written in the form “employees must do x minutes of training per year” or similar

> like it's a huge inconvenience to just bring a personal phone to work

It's not inconvenient to bring a phone, but it is very inconvenient to have to conduct personal business on a phone rather than on a laptop.

Nonetheless, I agree that it's a bad idea to conduct personal business on an employer-owned machine.

But I don't want to pretend that it's super convenient to have to carry a second laptop, either.
