Three-in-one computer crime: prompt injection which instructs their agent to open inspect element in a browser and then download all of the scholarly works off of JSTOR.

They’re all forms of delay-line memory.

tom7 is a legend.

It’s gothub.org. You linked to some dumb AI startup.

It’s a sure sign of a bubble that a URL typo coincidentally brings one to a completely unrelated page for a completely unknown, in-beta AI startup with a dumb idea.

Are you referring to the fact that it looks like they’re holding the sign backwards? They’ve most likely utilized both sides. We can’t see what it says on the front.

It was fun when knowing programming was almost a superpower that you had to learn by reading lots of books, etc. Now a computer can do much of the job. The computers are even solving long-open Erdos problems. We’re all just mediocre meatbags.

All this LLM shit just gave crackpots a new tool to annoy the hell out of the rest of us.

Folder is better. On disk, a folder is a list of pairs of a name and number, mapping the items in the folder to their location on the disk i.e. it’s a directory. The days before computerization are before my time, but, as I understand it, library index cards worked this way. You might have a card for each author which listed the books by that author with the location of the index card on that book, and you might have directory cards on subjects or keywords too, and the card on a book might point to the location of the book on the shelf and the card for the author, etc., or something like that. It would be most confusing to call these directory cards “folders”. The computer does the same thing internally, but the user interface has hidden away any notion of directory. They’re logically folders. It’s only a directory if you’re writing a file system implementation.

The first one has an awesome score by James Horner and will make any adult cry. The rest (a whopping 13 sequels) are cheap movies to put kids to sleep.

HN comment which makes your point but is better worded

What should just be a little plastic box containing ink has a tiny computer inside to prove to the printer it’s not counterfeit. All so that the manufacture can have their give-the-razor-for-free-sell-the-blades business model, enforced by the anti-circumvention part of copyright law.

Prediction markets and recently-legalized sports gambling says hi.

It may be my own instance which is having trouble. The past 3 days of posts to !programmer_humor@programming.dev have sub-100 points which suggests posts aren’t getting broadcast to everyone else.

Edit: looks like it’s fixed now. !meta@programming.dev

Or the entire thing could be AI. Who can say? The video author’s credibility has been destroyed by using AI at all. And so has yours for not recognizing the issue.

Or it’s low bit rate audio which is easier for AI to generate.

I don’t have any experience reading similar books to say if this is a good one, but it was the book we were assigned for class. Algorithms are written in pseudocode. I sometimes use it as a reference.
