I wish there was a wall of shame blacklist for CEOs who pull unethical shit off. With reviews and ratings from everyone around them. Kind of like yelp, but for CEOs. Then, anyone who wants to start a new venture or giving them any money, can then go look em up there before signing a contract with these trash CEOs. Right now, they only get away with all this because it all happens under the table and not enough people know.

I suppose court records can function as such a list.

If you also want 'alledged assholery' on that list, the list will just turn into a list of CEOs, due to false reports.

awesome! I wonder if it's possible to point AI at this problem and synthesize a bespoke compiler (per-architecture?) for postgresql expressions?

kvdveer · 11 days ago

Two things are holding back current LLM-style AI of being of value here:

* Latency. LLM responses are measured in order of 1000s of milliseconds, where this project targets 10s of milliseconds, that's off by almost two orders of magnitute.

* Determinism. LLMs are inherently non-deterministic. Even with temperature=0, slight variations of the input lead to major changes in output. You really don't want your DB to be non-deterministic, ever.

"Most of the code gets discarded." If you don't mind sharing, what's your signal-to-token ratio?

kvdveer · 14 days ago

How do you propose we measure signal? Lines of code is renowned for being a very bad measure of anything, and I really can't come up with anything better.

Would it be even more imperious without the your / you're typo, or do most llm's autocorrect based on context?

kvdveer · 23 days ago

From my experience, LLMs understand prompt just fine, even if there are substantial typos or severe grammatical errors.

I feel that prompting them with poor language will make them respond more casually. That might be confirmation bias on my end, but research does show that prompt language affects LLM behavior, even if the prompt message doesn't change/

Swiping is addictive, but touching a button for the next page is not.

One is arbitrarily banned by unelected bureaucrats. The other is fine.

We blame social companies for failing to raise our children the way we think they should.

Infinitief scrolling is only mentioned in the title. The actual legislation focuses on addictive patterns of which infinite scroll is just one. The exact formulation will of course matter a lot, but it will not simply be banning infinite scroll, as that would be trivial to circumvent.

How is NanoClaw immune to the Lethal trifecta attack based on prompt injection that OpenClaw is also prone to?

https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/the-lethal-trifecta/

Lethal trifecta:

1. Access to your private data

2. Exposure to untrusted content

3. The ability to externally communicate

Any combination of 1-3 or more skills can result in a prompt injection attack if it satisfies the above criteria - Gmail or sales personal data, Reddit or X posts or comments in white text, Gmail or Reddit or X to send confidential information to the attacker.

kvdveer · a month ago

It is not immune, but it limits #1 and #2.

The "lethal trifecta" is a limited view on security, as it's mostly concerned with leaking data. This solution focuses on a different aspect: the ability of rogue actions (instead of rogue communications per #3).

It was only one example they gave, and they accept multiple different types of ID; a driver's license or national ID card being other likely ones, and DLs do say where you live.

None of those documents reliably state my city of residence. At best they document where I once lived, but not even that is guaranteed.

What is the learning here? There were humans involved in every step.

Things built with security in mind are not invulnerable, human written or otherwise.

kvdveer · 2 months ago

This is especially true if the marketing team claims that humans were validating every step, but the actual humans did not exist or did no such thing.

If a marketer claims something, it is safe to assume the claim is at best 'technically true'. Only if an actual engineer backs the claim it can start to mean something.

timcobb · 2 months ago

How much does it cost to run Claude Code 24 hrs/day like this. Does the $200/month plan hold up? My spend on Cursor has been high... I'm wondering if I can just collapse it into a 200/month CC subscription.

kvdveer · 2 months ago

There's a daily token limit. While I've never run into that limit while operating Claude as a human, I have received warnings that I'm getting close. I imagine that an unattended setup will blow through the token limit in not too much time.

How close are we to smart dust I wonder? How small can we make wireless communications?

> How close are we to smart dust I wonder? How small can we make wireless communications?

There's two limiting factors for 'smart dust': power (batteries are the majority weight and volume of this vape), and antennae (minimum size determined by wavelength of carrier wave).

I believe you can fit an NFC module in a 5x5mm package, but that does externalize the power supply.
