Idk why but it feels very alien that these are just conferences once can "just go to".
Maybe its cuz i'm fresh out of college, but these do feel like some secret club, for which to be allowed to enter, oneself first has to slay a dragon, to then be knighted and sanctified

Does anyone here have had good experience with "cloud/web agentic setups"? So stuff like Codex Cloud or Cursor Web Agents etc.
If yes, what made it stick for you ? Im trying to figure out how to offload some of my local work maybe

observing for no particular reason that you should be treating inference providers as dumb pipes because their only way to ramp up the extraction machine on you is to sell a product that you can't get out of

Imagine self owning this hard, gotta respect this level of posting really
Anthropic is just directly fearmongering about the open weight models that are eating their lunch on price now huh
GLM-5.3 and the Spread of Advanced Cyber Capabilities
GLM-5.3 can autonomously build end-to-end cyber exploits, but unlike other frontier models, it was released without meaningful safeguards to limit misuse.

Guess we are doing Jev huh
Decisions API, for lightning fast constrained decision making powered by Luna. Supports visual inputs, and tuned to be able to make decisions in less than a few hundreds of milliseconds end to end.

After testing Opus 5.5 for making these cutsy explainer videos, i thought i would try the same with Astra.
Told it to "make a playful explainer video of the Jev Harness we are building to play Pokemon, visually it should be GBA-esk and use approximately the Pokemon Emerald style and music"

Absolutely insane that i can genuinely push 40k LoC/month at work.
Working solo is such an advantage, and mind you this is just the BE, i think FE is roughly the same amount again.
(for only one repo/service, though my main one)

Saying the HuggingFace incident agents were "told what to do" and thus can't be autonomous, is like claiming that antibiotic-resistance bacteria strains are "told what to do".
Both find a way past an imposed selector/sandbox and exhibit unwanted behavior, but we don't blame the pharmacist's

One needs to be aware: for most people their governments-ideology is a means to an end of (perceived) material and political stability
In the west this means: democracy is a-priori good.
Examples: Trumps loss 2020, Europas Right-wing wave, Modern China, French/Russian Revolution(s), etc..

My actual take on these NYT ‘here’s some morons’ things is that people are basically calling out for mediating insitutions to make politics comprehensible to them, because most people are not weird freaks like you probably are if you’re reading this, that like paying attention to this shit.

Funfact, building a harness for 100+ concurrent agents just ends up drifting towards system engineering really.
Not quite there yet, but I'm thinking about if it makes sense to build a custom VCS/filesystem for this (another great excuse to push more Rust into my codebases at work)

Say about Jev what you want, over-hyped, limited-context, etc.
But the fact after a week of testing it with all i could imagine, i only now have hit that 5$ initial credit..
