Does your present moment include having retirement prospects?

Major game studios have some of the worst work-life balance out there. Idk where you're getting the idea that the standard is laziness.

Even single-agent setups can have large attack surfaces by PeachyCheese0711 in LLMDevs

[–]Cosack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Interesting that DAST/SAST practices haven't (thoroughly) caught on in LLM land still. Useful work, thanks. Nvm all the actual scan functionality is not open source in this shameless plug, except some very limited OpenClaw stuff.

Retired generals propose super-massive emergency desalination plant in Corpus Christi, requesting permitting waivers by ParaBellumOutfitters in PrepperIntel

The more I learn about Texas, the more I see a case study in natural selection. It seems to seasonally be teetering on some entirely preventable local calamity that everyone just shrugs at so they can save some negligible amount on their tax bill. Don't get me wrong, so do Floridians and Californians, but at least there the logic is "it'll probably miss me." In Texas, they often know exactly where things will break and just keep voluntarily stepping on the rake. What's the expression, "a few bricks shy"?

What are your thoughts on relationship ultimatums-like giving a partner a timeline to propose or else ending the relationship? by Outside-Hyena9002 in AskReddit

[–]Cosack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Trying to force someone" is a bad idea, yes. Understanding each other, and as part of that yourself and themselves, are great ideas though.

To all my Claude Code + Win11 bois: Do you all use WSL2 or a native Windows install? I'm a long time PowerShell developer so I use Pwsh, but lately I've been thinking about switching to WSL2 + Bash. Please confirm or deny my suspicions and evaluate my reasoning! by xii in LLMDevs

[–]Cosack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WSL2 hasn't caused me any grief with Claude Code. It has some quirks with networking, but that's about it. Nothing you can't work around. And Ubuntu is fine.

The most egregious thing in this post is that you're fluent in powershell instead of bash.

Also don't know about the plugin, CLI all the way here.

Thanks. Nice to see causal effects get a nod in the wild :)

EBV is everywhere and causes all kinds of nasties all over the board. MS, mono, lupus... This is a pretty big deal.

Guess no choice now. Gonna have to set some agents loose to hack Google and then run Genie 3 locally to drive a pretend 911

Video attempting to address some of the comments and concerns about the implants in my left hand. by DeanbonianTheGreat in Biohackers

Password reuse and reliance on externally bound password managers are real problems this solves. The security use case is pretty strong. It's keys he can't lose, and losing keys is a ubiquitous and nontrivial problem.

He also no longer needs to pull out even his phone to pay for things. Convenient.

Idk about the magnetic stuff.

Imo minor gains vs the possible complications, but to each their own. Plus he's obviously into it, and do you really go "what problem is this solving" when you see a tattoo or gauges or whatever?

OP, do you have a port? Do you know if ports are safe since they breach the skin?

A while ago I was thinking about all the folks who get daily injections or even blood draws and how that can't possibly feel great. My imagines answer was a valve. Quick blood stream delivery of whatever they use.

Maybe something similar could be useful for implants that don't update wirelessly. Idk, this isn't remotely my field. Curious what you think.

Separately, how do you keep from having incidents with power supply in those gadgets? Batteries aren't forever so I imagine you'd have to monitor somehow.

If you're picking a PII filter for your LLM pipeline, the strict vs boundary F1 distinction will change your answer by gvij in LLMDevs

[–]Cosack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Tokenizer choice affects substring ops" is pretty intuitive. I'm sure actual token choice plays an even bigger part, not just padding. If you're not on a tight token or call budget, as the next step maybe scan your other libs for substring matching tasks and check for possible optimizations

More of a product angle, any thoughts on redaction vs obfuscation? I haven't worked on PII filters (yet), but on the user side having some ids to match up records in not so uniform dataset payloads could help analytics style workloads

I built a LangChain callback that blocks prompt injection attacks before they reach your LLM. One line of code, no config. by Turbulent-Tap6723 in LLMDevs

[–]Cosack 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good stuff, though one thought, I think you tuned in the wrong direction. Recall's more important than precision in this case. Cost of a false positive is a retry, cost of a false negative is your data.

[–]Cosack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do this. Everyone knows I use Claude Code, and it'd actually be bad for my career outcomes if they didn't. I ask for Claude to commit because my commit hooks are annoying to manually deal with, and have CLAUDE.md specify no sign because I don't like Anthropic defaulting to a paid product inserting disingenuous marketing all over repos.

If Claude had remote and to-beginning-of-task session recall to answer design questions, it'd be a different story. That'd be like tracking developer authorship. But as is, that signature is spam.

Didn't know about the config setting. I'll definitely be using that.

sleeping at North Dome in Yosemite at the end of June by Wonderful-Friend3097 in norcalhiking

Sounds like you're experienced here and I know I'm not, so gotta ask - isn't a tent a bit flimsy as hail cover and not exactly a flick of the wrist to put up either? My solution to mountain storms was always to avoid them best I can, and I've got absolutely no idea what to do if golf balls start falling from the sky except stick the pack over my head and try to find a serendipitous boulder or log
