> because AI-generated code is kind of notoriously terrible at security.

and vaccines notoriously cause autism. But you might investigate why that belief is so widespread and you might not believe it that much anymore.

Can you point at something specifically that indicates this statement is true?

I thought a "prediction" was something about the future. But Darwin, if I understand correctly, classified the plant as carnivorous. As it is the title makes you think the plant turned carnivorous since Darwin made his prediction; and make you think Darwin said "This plant will soon become carnivore". But what happened is that his statement has been confirmed, not that the plant changed.

No, I don't know what I mean. And I don't think you understand what TFA is talking about:

> Since 1967, teachers could only physically intervene with students if their safety or that of others was at risk. Starting in August 2027, they will be allowed to 'hold a student, keep them in place, or take them to another room' if the student disrupts the class.

Directly after the passage you quote:

> Google promised 10 years of updates for all Chromebooks, and it’s now breaking that promise for anyone buying a Chromebook between now and whenever the last Chromebook rolls off the production line

So, they're changing the promise from now on, and not breaking it for past users. Doesn't sound like they're breaking their promise to me.

I loved the finished work. I'm looking forward to more art in the world.

Agents allow you to produce more, even the silly ideas you can't put too much effort into.

I really loved the Herzog parody, the overall taste and the parts I explored (I'm sure there's more). Well done!

One small correction: Andrej Karpathy coined the term "vibe coding" in February 2025, a year after leaving OpenAI for the second time. He joined Anthropic in May 2026.

Memoization trades compute time for memory: you reduce CPU cost by 90% _at the cost_ of some memory. The author measured one, but it doesn't look like they measured the other.

It's an important detail to take into account. I'm sure this optimization makes sense, and the size of additional memory is not that big, but I believe it's good to "measure, not assume" as some load bearing model might say.

Thanks! I was confused, thinking "Is it Satie, or is this a case of Muphry's law?". I wanted to learn more about this Satre composer I never heard of.

You can write your code so SQL injections are not possible.

You can't do the same with prompt injections.
