This, so much. Even really important stuff like their GitHub integration, which works completely differently in Claude desktop, claude code from Desktop client, and Claude code from CLI

Thinking harder (in the sense of LLMs) also can lead to over engineering and including irrelevant work, in my experience

So they are proving that this model of development isn’t really sustainable. I think this blog is a colossal self own “look at what we need to do to make it work!”

because the longer they wait, the higher the chance of being discovered before they're able to steal anything. I'm sure there's some game theory about this

If they were discovered, ledger would need to announce it, couldn't they just send out all the txns at once to steal whatever they had accumulated?

Do you remember the blog they made about the Apple lawsuit? The lawyers are probably still busy handling that

It should be noted that as of now there are pretty good ways to deal with the cascade

Are we doing a daily thread now?

Saying “this is subtly wrong” won’t do much in the training data for the same generation. Lots of this expertise is closed source for understandable reasons

Probably more will be in the future.

I can understand why you might write open source software for your fellow man but who wants to do it just for the benefit of OpenAI or Anthropic.

And yet at the mere suggestion of cyber security they cut you off

Then why do they need a prescription from a doctor in the first place?

Paternalism?

Overall, in the United States, I think that prescriptions are far too broadly required.

For example, I get extreme nausea for about 6-8 hours when I get a viral infection. It's truly miserable, and to the point that I must lay down and can't walk for even a few meters (standing up makes the nausea worse). But, the last few times I had this, I had to go completely without treatment (meaning, for me, ondansetron/zofran) because it takes a massive fraction of that time to see a doctor and it's quite difficult to haul myself to an urgent care when I can't walk, and the telehalth doctor that I saw via my insurance company agreed that ondansetron was indicated but his telehealth company didn't have that drug on the allowed prescriptions whitelist, so he refused to prescribe it. This is despite me knowing the exact needed dosage, the exact needed drug, and being reasonably sure that it wasn't a symptom of something more dangerous. Yet, the law says that this knowledge is irrelevant, and I need someone else's permission, resulting in me being in completely unnecessary misery for a day.

And, in that story, it's just a day, and has no lasting consequences. It gets much worse for other people in some cases.

And, could loosening of prescription paternalism result in people making mistakes? Of course. But, I'm allowed to go and buy power tools, to drive a car (licensing requird, but it's realistic to get this license, while the same isn't true for a medical license and even then self prescription is heavily discouraged), and many other dangerous and complex things.

I'm sorry, it sounds needlessly rough. I wholeheartedly agree that less paternalism would help us all (I'm still bitter at the insane level of paternalism displayed by my country during COVID)
