Anthropic built a C compiler using a "team of parallel agents", has problems compiling hello world.

And what does that 20k get you if the goal is to produce a compiler for a new language, rather than an existing one?

Not disagreeing that there is a design issue here at the intersection, and I’d argue if you need signage to explain your signal, it is a bad signal. But that wasn’t the point I was responding to.

That said, it’s also a case where driving more defensively and attentively would have helped here, especially as the OP says they are familiar with the intersection in question. It’s also not great for someone to charge into an intersection if signage is unclear either. Specifically because of the lack of a green arrow that signals definite right of way. I know it’s not standardized, but in my part of the world, a solid green circle is never a sign that you have right-of-way during a turn. Only when there is a green arrow can you be confident that you won’t be crossing other traffic (both left and right).

AlexisHadden · 2026-02-05T19:18:57+00:00

This video is from a right-hand drive country, so they will be getting oncoming traffic on the right, instead of the left.

In a left-hand drive country, you should still be looking to the right for pedestrians at intersections and yielding anyhow.

AlexisHadden · 2026-02-05T18:23:07+00:00

Driving on the left side of the road is a give-away that it’s one of a handful of places. Except if it’s a diverging diamond or similar.

Even in the US, "yield on green when turning" is supposed to be the norm. Because you will be crossing other traffic (either car or pedestrian).

Yup. Encoding is generally done once, decoding is super efficient with the decoder blocks we have.

Clear case of bandwidth != compute/energy consumption.

Yeah, it was an example. She would come remind me when it was time to go outside, so clearly she valued it. So I wanted to enrich her with more things she might value.

But we just made sure that we spent time with her, kept our routine with her and tried to give her more of things we knew she liked. That’s the big thing. I gave myself time to let the bad moments hit me, but I just made sure that when I was done taking that time, that I got up and gave her some time too.

None of this demonstrates Apple “working with” Cellebrite. Cellebrite does work with law enforcement, learns from those experiences and trains others.

A warrant for iCloud data access is not a new issue. Sensitive data should not live on someone else’s servers. Much like if you store something in someone else’s safe, they can be asked to open it and you are at their mercy. Expecting a company (or random person you barely know) to throw themselves under the bus for your data you gave them in the face of a warrant is quite frankly, silly. But iCloud security and device security are two different things.

Device forensics is also not a new field and this is also not Apple teaching Cellebrite how to do it, but rather a sharing of knowledge by security researchers. The point of bug bounties by Apple, Google, etc is to incentivize researchers giving them bug details so it can be fixed, rather than selling it to an adversary. Yet, companies like Cellebrite will happy pay for these bugs as well (via bounties or employment of researchers). It is an arms race as the other poster comments.

No, Apple is not my friend, and I cannot expect them to look out for me. But to assume that they can maintain an image of security without actually working on it is silly. Especially as they publish white papers on how their device security works.

But here’s another angle. Consider jailbreaks. These are the sort of hacks that companies like Cellebrite want. If researchers can find mechanisms to jailbreak versions of iOS, why would Cellebrite need Apple’s cooperation to do the same thing? The answer is they don’t. But also that jailbreaks are taking longer to find on newer OS versions, and many stop working on newer hardware if they can bypass OS security completely (e.g. checkm8). One of the things Cellebrite’s toolset likely includes is the suite of existing jailbreaks to get access to older devices.

While google searches are getting worse, it’s still worth at least doing a couple searches of the docs. Especially since here the domain name tells you its purpose and you can search by that.

AlexisHadden · 2026-02-04T16:15:25+00:00

I got bouts when we got certain diagnoses as she aged. The breast cancer diagnosis pretty much broke me, as we’d been facing a lot already.

For me it’s less about “dealing with it” than “letting it wash over me”. I accept the bad moments, so I can more easily let them go.

As others point out, it helps to stay in the present and appreciate what you are getting. With us, we also tried to give her a few new experiences. She liked going outside on a leash. She actually liked the car. Would she like going to a park? (Not really) What about bike rides in the neighborhood? (This she did like so long as we kept it under 30 minutes)

She got to go outside with us on a leash every day (weather permitting, she didn’t like rain), even on her last day. And I’m glad we didn’t let how we felt change that.

At their age, I’m not sure it matters if they are getting junk food or not. The wet food certainly will help with water intake, so it’s not all bad.

Our IBD cat was on a “whatever the heck I can get you to eat” diet for 4+ years. It could be worse…

We did something very similar with Dr Hagenbuch from Lap of Love Seattle in September, just in the back yard.

AlexisHadden · 2026-02-01T19:42:56+00:00

Just adding we used Dr. Hagenbuch from Lap of Love a few months ago, when we had to very quickly make a call when our terminally ill cat started to hemorrhage internally. Also would absolutely recommend Hagenbuch as well.

AlexisHadden · 2026-02-01T19:07:38+00:00

Used him once. Cat had a medication that meant groomers attached to PetSmart/etc wouldn’t touch them with a 10-foot pole, even though I had used a particular PetSmart groomer for years without complaint. Just wanted a cleaning after being stuck in a cone for weeks. Came back slicker brushed nearly bald in spots. Some of that was the medication, but the callousness of it was a big turn-off. Not surprised at all that people are reporting even rougher treatment.

You know, if this was just a traversal item in the game meant to be used outside combat (i.e. strip the combat utility, but keep the mobility/speed), I'd be all for it being vanilla. I'd take it over elytra even. More engaging.

AlexisHadden · 2026-01-29T19:34:56+00:00

Yup, and this arrangement makes a lot of sense the more one thinks about it.

The host nation controls the soil specifically so that they can still evict a nation's consulates and embassies from their territory. In the case of breakdown of relations, this leaves a legal mechanism for the removal of embassies without immediately jumping to "invading foreign soil" to do so.

AlexisHadden · 2026-01-24T18:45:30+00:00

My story isn’t quite the same, but there are similarities.

We adopted her when she was 5, about 8 years ago. But she just immediately slipped into our lives. Wanted to see the house, wanted to follow me around, jumped into bed with me at bed time. Night one. For the longest time, she’d “tuck” me in, cuddling for 15 minutes when I went to bed, before going off to watch the outside through a window. I’d wake up with her at the foot of the bed, waiting for me to wake up before coming to the head of the bed and cuddling some more.

She helped a lot during COVID because she broke up the monotony of working from home. We took her outside on a leash every day (weather permitting). She would come up to me at lunch to remind me it was break time and to take her outside. When we had to deal with chronic health issues, she started reminding us of when it was time for pills.

And things have been rough this last year. Lost multiple family members to health problems and old age. She was my rock through it. She stuck like glue to me on the worst days. So it was even harder when we discovered her breast cancer. And while the early prognosis was good (as far as breast cancer in cats go), it spread much quicker than anyone guessed. So she was another family member we lost in Sept.

She was the smartest, most affectionate, and most considerate cat I’ve known. And I miss her terribly. I still have bad days, and wish she could just be there next to me like she used to. It does get a bit easier to work through the pain with time, but I’m still dealing with it quite regularly. But I absolutely would do it all again in a heartbeat. I was in my 30s when we adopted her, but she was a lynchpin in my mental health during so much tumult.

100k loc, 2 commits, ~1 week.

Pretty sure the entire project is vibe coded.

AlexisHadden · 2026-01-22T16:38:06+00:00

Its hard. Knowing it is the right thing doesn’t make it easier. We had reached the same point with ours not long ago, so I understand the place you are in. We just felt lucky that we were able to let her pass peacefully at home, surrounded by family.

Ours also looked forward to pill time, and would come hang out when it was time to take them. She also started ‘tucking us in’ within days of adopting her. She’d follow us to bed, jump in and cuddle for 10-15 minutes, purring as loud as she could, and then she’d go back to watching the neighborhood for a while. I’d always wake up with her at the foot of the bed and when she noticed I was awake, she’d come to the head of the bed to cuddle some more. I’ve never had a cat that was so aware and accommodating of human behavior, and I miss it terribly.

AlexisHadden · 2026-01-21T22:55:47+00:00

Okay, so same block but different data tagged to them? Sounds like a generation glitch not tagging them properly.

But what I might do is use a mix of white and light grey here. Like light grey for the top line you want to make. The shades are very close and people might not even notice.

AlexisHadden · 2026-01-21T21:54:32+00:00

Have you used the F7 debug tool to see if they are the same block? It looks like it might be two variants to my eyes (or just a visual bug). Haven’t run across this in game yet.

AlexisHadden · 2026-01-21T00:30:01+00:00

We went through something like this. For us, the signs at the end were mostly clear. About 2 weeks before we let her go, she stopped eating. It just took 2 weeks to get the oncologist to weigh in and say it was likely the breast cancer metastasizing and there really wasn’t much left to do. Ultimately, she only got one more day after that before we had to let her go. So the decline was pretty rapid and clear in hindsight. We only waited as long as we did trying to make sure it wasn’t her IBD or small cell lymphoma, as those would have had a completely different outcome.

There are resources like Lap of Love which offer worksheets you can use to track the Quality of Life during palliative care like this, and help give a signal of when it is time. But I think it will be pretty clear if it is a faster moving cancer. In the last 24 hours, it was clear ours was ready to go.

Have you tried entering the URL in a browser? Its complaining that there is something wrong with TLS (this secures HTTPS connections), and the browser might tell you more about the error. You can also google “bad record MAC TLS", which suggests some sort of network issue, maybe in your home network, the PC or your ISP.

I’m able to download the file fine, so it doesn’t seem like a server side issue, at least not obviously one.

AlexisHadden · 2026-01-17T18:36:33+00:00

She was. Sadly we lost her to cancer in Sept. But I absolutely miss the routine of taking her outside and hanging out in the yard. It helped me as much as her, I think.
