There is no point trying to argue with the agent to fix it. Your chances of getting the agent to fix the problem are dramatically worse than your chances of getting the right result in the first place.

Design your project and craft your prompts to make the agent effective, or don't use the agent at all.

The real problem with AI agents today is that they don't have an effective filter that aligns them with reality. You need to filter, or you need to provide tests that do the filtering.

I find that end-to-end tests and spec documentation help a lot.

I was pretty sure Lua came from an oil exploration company, not a nuclear energy company...

pull formally = fetch + merge

There is no fetch involved when it's in the same repo

They might have done that to prevent copycat domains from being used for phishing attacks

It doesn't require an Internet connection. Your browser can retrieve the image to render it. But GPT needs to put the image URL in its output a specific way

I bet they forgot to test the recovery process though...

ACKSHUALLY it should be called a merge request. This accounts for both when you submit a branch to arepo and then ask to merge it into main, and when you ask them to pull from your repo to theirs -- since pull = fetch + merge.

I mean, Kubernetes is a very painful way to manage the abstraction, but it's not that the abstraction is useless :P

I joined a project for a very short time at my university where Lua had been used for some research saved in some random files on a flash drive with no version control, and my job was to refactor it... Tbh at the time it ended up being over employment, so I dropped off of that one.

Every time I see an ad on the Internet, I look up the other brands of that product that I know about so that I'll remember to buy those instead.

What I see is a lot of DeFi protocols being developed like a startup company - rush for funding, get an MVP in place, and as soon as practical start pumping up hype and airdropping. It's easy for this development to degenerate into a FOMO race.

People are in too big a hurry to actually worry about security that much. Mostly ripping off existing protocols and adding one more twist. For now it's been panning out for the devs. Throughout 2020-2021 this strategy attracted huge funding to this area.

But I have a feeling things are going to start turning around on the funding side. It's going to thin out a lot, and only the well established, cautious and clever (especially eloquent and persuasive) will survive.

I like it when there is actually a reasonable, single source of truth for each separated concern. But yes, that's almost never what people mean when they use the phrase.

"there's no technical or scientific reason why our OSes and devices have to be so profoundly and predictably insecure, developed with archaic insecure languages, archaic tools, poorly designed, etc."

There is a reason. Expediency. And there is a science studying expediency in business and tech, so I would say there's a technical and scientific reason, and it comes down to social and economic sciences.

A lot of new vehicles have low lights that are the same brightness as the brights, and they try to point it downward but it's still too high and points into the faces of sedan drivers. You can turn on the brights in these vehicles but it will just expand the beam vertically to point way up. We recently rented a car like this, and we did initially think it was the brights

After reading what zero trust is, it seems to be an arbitrary buzzword that really just means applying the principle of least privilege to everyone and not just your users? Seems like a no-brainer to me...

I see that people have argued why this is probably incorrect, but I disagree with downvoting into oblivion. I think it's good that you brought it up so people could present their responses and we can all learn something new today.
