Very long shot. Do I know anyone in or near Phuket who can do me a favour?
I left my wallet in a hotel earlier this year. They've just let me know they found it.
Anyone over there willing to pick it up & post it back to me? Happy to pay, of course.

I am literally begging all of you to stop giving Spotify money. There are so many alternatives. "A music streaming service" is not a hard problem to solve and like 8 companies have solved it. The company that makes your phone OS has solved it (this is true for both major phone OSes).

@glyph I don't doubt that there were real vulnerablities being found, perhaps even often at one point?

I think, though, that the classes of bugs that LLMs readily find are pretty low hanging fruit. After you run the LLM over a codebase a few times, you are going to run out of low hanging fruit.

It is good to get rid of those bugs, but, I don't think it is a revolution so much as the absolute lowest common denominator applied at scale.

I am certain it hasn't been worth the cost.

@glyph My understanding is it leaves SIP enabled and installs a management profile to get the OS to remove the model on its own. This appears to be an officially supported configuration from Apple that’s mainly aimed at large organizations with device management.

we've been carefully keeping the README in sync with our actual build steps, through each of these incremental changes, and testing that the documented steps actually work. it'll be nice to get it to a form we like well enough that we won't want to change it again, heh

there we go. now we just have one more little feature and then the CLI semantics will allow a clean way to tell it to perform a build!

any time we have a breaking change like this, we do a bunch of redundant builds - new with old, new with new, both of those via hex dump - and make sure we know which ones are identical and why or why not. we could always roll back, it just makes us nervous.

yessss good, the struct is working (not checked in quite yet, but about to be)

things that break the old build process are always a bit finicky because it isn't just about making the code work, we also have to find an order of operations to build the new thing from the old one. that was actually the hardest part of this change. worked fine though.

These people discussed are deeply unhinged, deeply troubled, and shatteringly dangerous to society and humanity.

Not because of “AI is going to kill everyone”, which is little more than blame laundering their own desires and eugenics, but because they are polluting every aspect of humanity with their deeply fucked up ideology.

as with any such tool your mileage may vary, deleting system components like this can cause annoying peripheral damage in ways that are hard to predict, but _at least_ let's give them some github stars to show our colletive displeasure
