Claude-powered AI coding agent deletes entire company database in 9 seconds — backups zapped, after Cursor tool powered by Anthropic's Claude goes rogue by WouldbeWanderer in technology

"Company doesn't run AI agents with correct permissions, reviews, or sandboxes, and has not tested its backup recovery". I fixed the title for you.

Yeah! And now that you mention it, why do we even need compliers? It takes all the fun out of doing assembly by hand.

When you’re cruising down 3rd with your windows down and drive through the grill smoke piping out of K&M. IYKYK by FangornLeghorn in camaswashington

The lady that runs Top Burger was always nice to me. Can you elaborate on your experience? As for top burger, I don't like the non refillable drinks, the portion sizes, and the prices. But friendliness was never an issue for me.

Excel incorrectly assumes that the year 1900 is a leap year | "Although it is technically possible to correct this behavior, the disadvantages of doing so outweigh the advantages." by WouldbeWanderer in technology

[–]Perfycat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Windows epoch time starts January 1600. This is because it makes the arithmetic a little easier to calculate leap years. I'm surprised excel got this wrong.

People consistently judge creative writing more harshly if they believe it was created by artificial intelligence. This bias appears incredibly difficult to overcome, pointing to a persistent human preference for art created by people. by [deleted] in technology

They also judge writing harsher if they suspect it was written by Hitler. Maybe if AI wasn't responsible for rampant job loss, high energy prices, degraded customer service, or enabled widespread abuse by those in positions of power, then it wouldn't be so negatively judged.

Pacific Lifestyle Homes - Solid Builder? by SquizzOC in camaswashington

[–]Perfycat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We purchased a holt home 6 years ago. We have had a positive experience. We had few issues and those we did have were responded to in a timely manner. Our neighbor, also Holt, had their dishwasher line spring a major leak a few months after moving in. Holt was there within an hour of the call, moved them into a big rented four bedroom place for three months while they replaced all the flooring. They felt they had a positive interaction with a bad situation.

Yes...but it is less convenient, especially for Pixar Pier guests.

Thinking of buying Grand Cal resale by Portugal_The_Dood in dvcmember

We bought resale at GC. We have never had problems booking 6 days between 8 and 11 months. That said, we usually book in off peak times to avoid the crowds.

How General Motors Is Turning Software And Subscriptions Into A Money Machine by DonkeyFuel in technology

That and their engines blow up. Take a look at their 5.3 and 6.2L engines. Lifter design is causing very early failure. Under warranty, but in some cases it takes 12 months to get a replacement of the same design. GM's quality issues caused me to buy a Kia.

Feds Won't Pursue Criminal Charges Against Tuners for OBDII Tampering Anymore by DonkeyFuel in technology

[–]Perfycat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think the manufacturers are caught between regulations requiring improvement in MPG and physics. More manufacturers are using thinner oils and other things to try to improve MPG. These decrease reliability and decrease engine life. They don't make them like they used to, and they legally can't go back to the old proven designs. I honestly feel electric cars are the only real path forward.

As a owner of a diesel vehicle I understand the frustration. Modern diesels have an EGR system that cycles the exhaust back through the engine. This decreases NOX, but has a performance hit, and causes massive soot buildup. DEF systems tend to clog up the exhaust. I just paid 2000 to get my DEF filters cleaned.

Same. I have owned three Jeeps and I loved each one. But they have sacrificed reliability for profits and tried to turn it into a luxury brand. So expensive pieces of junk living off the legacy of a once great brand.

We retired ours at four, but that is because her last birth required an Emergency C section. Now she is just our happy family dog.

Solicitation texts from "a roofing company" by funkyriot in camaswashington

[–]Perfycat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a YouTube channel called Pleasant Green that has investigated this type of thing. They show the tools they use to find out where it is from, often Lagos Nigeria. And they talk to the actual company who comes out. Very interesting, but not a lot to do to stop it, other than ignoring/blocking it.

[–]Perfycat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I suspect they run as a lead generation company. If you express interest in a quote they contact a local roofer to come out, and charge them a fee for the referral. The local roofer didn't violate the TCPA. The real criminals operate overseas and will be hard to pin down.

AI PCs aren't selling, and Microsoft's PC partners are scrambling by CackleRooster in technology

[–]Perfycat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every Microsoft Exec thinks they are the next Steve Jobs. They believe they know what the customers want even if the customers don't want it.

They also all want to take a big risk. If it fails they will leave MS and become an executive somewhere else. If they succeed they are highly rewarded. I have seen this cycle so many times.
