Readit NewsSome way to break out of the "shared secret" model is needed. Mutual TLS is one way that is at least getting some traction.
Perhaps that's part of it.
People here work on all kinds of industries. Some of us are implementing JIT compilers, mission-critical embedded systems or distributed databases. In code bases like this you can't just wing it without breaking a million things, so LLM agents tend to perform really poorly.
When I was a kid growing up in the post communist 90-00s, we were going nearly weekly to the cinema to watch the latest American movies: Blade, Shrek, Toy Story, The Matrix trilogy, LotR trilogy, American Pie, Batman trilogy, Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Fast & Furious, X-Men, Spider-Man, Star Wars, Scary Movie, Rush Hour, etc
We couldn't get enough of US entertainment, while now everyone here avoids the new US releases like the plague since it's only cash grabs injected with $CURRENT_DAY identity politics, diversity box ticking based on focus group testing, resulting in sterile, predictable, zero-humor, zero-edge, zero-creativity slop that's not even worth pirating.
Americans have no idea how much soft power they lost worldwide by forcing their identity politics and ideologies in entertainment. Japanese anime and Koran movies and TV shows now run rings around the US entertainment industry.
The superhero movies that have filled that niche are by any measures wildly popular.
I really don't know how to feel about this, maybe it's my education making me bigoted, looking down upon what's clearly ephemeral; slang words like these come and go with time, and I think the timeframe for words to be included in the dictionary has greatly reduced.
Almost no one apart from a very small, terminally online subset of people will ever use these words and an even smaller subset will use these in IRL conversation; adding these is a bad idea and doesn't bode well for dictionaries wrt credibility.
They should release a DLC for dictionaries that covers slang like this, not make it part of the official English specification.
Copyright is a government-granted monopoly but the monopoly is hard to enforce. It works because most people actually want to support the creators, not because DRM is effective or anything like that.
So you have the uncommon situation in which a monopoly (the copyright holder) is operating in parallel to a competitive black market for content distribution (pirates). And then the competitive market -- even though it has to operate underground and makes hardly any profit -- provides the better experience.
Lesson for anyone who thinks market consolidation doesn't lead to consumer harm.
I do think that people think far too much about 'happy path' deployments of AI when there are so many ways it can go wrong with even badly written prompts, let alone intentionally adversarial ones.
For example, you can have multiple people working on a code base for the second case, and some sub team has a new requirement for added functionality. Now they have to go refactor a whole bunch of the codebase to make all the types coherent. And consequently, shortcuts happen here, which leads to shit codebases.
It’s also strange that my prior comment here is maximally downvoted when the similar comment it linked to was upvoted to triple digits. This further reaffirms my assumption that WASM primarily appeals to insecure developers.
They finish mentioning in "2023" though, we're in the back half of 2025 now - has anything changed significantly in the past couple of years? (I genuinely don't know)
