What they did not say is how many of these vulnerabilities were addressed by LLM-created fixes, if any.

I can only speak for SpiderMonkey, as that’s the team I’m on, but we humans are definitely writing and reviewing the patches for these bugs. Sometimes the AI suggestions are good, often they’re not, and we never send off a fix for a security bug unless we thoroughly understand the problem and have assessed its severity ourselves.

It helps them by making it somebody else's responsibility to get it right and thus shields them from liability.

The OS should start labeling everybody as a child by default. Forbid Facebook to show ads and any harming content by default. The OS has little less to lose with this approach than FB.

So it lets them know for sure who is a child. What liability does that shield them from, and how?

FB etc. may argue "device says this user is an adult", even though device may say that only because the parents don't set up separate user accounts e.g. shared family iPad, or because the kids being more tech savvy in the first place like we all were when I myself was a kid.

It has nested folders. But it will continue to have the problem of not being exactly whatever you are using now.

Maybe post your brilliant solution to commercial companies with hundreds of millions in funding unrestrained bot scraping the Internet for AI training instead of complaining about people desperate to rein it in as individuals.

Anybody can prompt Claude to implement this, which was my point, it doesn't stop bots because a bot can literally write the bypass! My prompt was the proof of work function from the repository, asked it to make an implementation in C that could solve it faster, and that was about it.

This is fallacious and extremely disrespectful (or even malicious?). You don't have to propose a way to fix a broken thing to point out that it's broken.

Normal and sane people understand this intuitively. If someone goes to a mechanic because their car is broken and the mechanic says "well, if you can tell that you car is broken, then you should be able to figure out how to fix it" - that mechanic would be universally hated and go out of business in months. Same thing for a customer complaining about a dish made for them in a restaurant, or a user pointing out a bug in a piece of software.

You have a truly Magic Mouse if yours charges in 15 minutes. In my experience, it is hours to charge from zero, which until I put an always-running monitor in the menu bar for the mouse battery level is what you are guaranteed to have since there is no other indicator of mouse battery level.

I used to roll my eyes at the complaints until I actually had one of these, and it is appallingly bad engineering. Especially since the previous design, which was functionally identical just needed a 10 second battery swap.

The Krishnamoorthi Senate loss was a shock, he had more money than virtually the rest of the field put together and had name recognition and was a sitting 5 time House representative. Nobody knows who the Lt. Gov. was, even with Pritzker's backing.

I'm fond of telling people that Krishnamoorthi called me personally, on the phone, twice, to raise money in elections he ran unopposed in. Each time he had a story for why it was important I donate to him and not some other Democrat in a contested race.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Chicagoland progressives fucking love Juliana Stratton, by the way.

Your statement is one of those "not even wrong" pedantic ploys that falls apart at the lightest sneeze in its direction.

Money is the only way to exert pressure on society and narratives. If you think that has no effect on elections then you are about as antisocial and antipatriotic a person as I can imagine.

> Money is the only way to exert pressure on society and narratives

It’s not. Every piece of state and federal legislation I personally wrote language into passed before I was wealthy. Showing up is incredibly hard for a lot of people. Being decent and eloquent when you do is impossible for the rest.

I’ve donated to get power and gotten involved. The latter absolutely smites the former, to the point that donors are almost being taken for a ride outside a few idiot candidates who unfailingly lose.

You were paid by rich companies to write those laws, or else given access by people with more money and influence than you. These things are often done in ways that result in those same people making more money. It is incentive and reward all in one.

It's especially glaring since Apple just released a fix for a Coruna exploit that patched iOS 15.

You should consider finding other employment or at least another manager. If this is an example of how you are being evaluated in that organization, it can only get worse.

This particular word for the oldest profession goes back to Old English. I am fairly sure it would outlive the building.

If the problem is when the joke lives on amusing undergrads long after you've tired of it, that just makes it worse.

Wait until they hear about what Magpie Lane in Oxford used to be called.

A historical bawdy pun is one of the most Oxfordian things I can think of. If we can incorporate a man in drag, we're in real business.

Because most tablets are intended to be as thin and compact as possible while being too large to wrap a hand around. Imagine the complaints if Apple told people to buy a case so they could hold the product. Imagine putting a ledge on one side to hold it oh hey, it's a Kindle Scribe (and still ALSO has a bigger bezel than the iPad Pro.)
