> This also has an enormous potential benefit of reducing avian flu and other zoonotic bird diseases.

How?


By replacing (some) farmed meat with farmed fungi protein.

Although it's theoretically possible for a disease to infect both fungus and animals, because the biology is so different, the risk is greatly, greatly reduced.

In addition, it may be possible to reduce the use of treatments such as antibiotics which, in their currently mass application to farmed animals, could directly lead to the development of antibiotic resistant in diseases which affect humans and animals.


Plus, chucking the contents of a few biotanks in case of infection is a hell of a lot better than having to kill and waste millions of birds.

I mean, industrial slaughter isn't a pretty process, even in better plants, which most aren't, but where they come to wipe out the barn, they're not putting animal welfare first.


Or free apps that are supposedly too similar to some other apps that they can't name and that doesn't seem to exist (my personal story).

If Python produces less hallucinations it's not because of the syntax, it's because there's so much training data.

Not the comment that you replied to but I use my own Urd. It's a fancier Cron that you can stop fast. Which is imo what you normally want.

Task queues are like email. It's what everyone is used to so people ask for more of it, but it's not actually good/the right tool.


I tried django-q and I thought it was pretty terrible. The worst was that I couldn't get it to stop retrying stuff that was broken. Sometimes you ship code that does something unexpected, and being able to stop something fast is critical imo.

Fundamentally I think the entire idea behind celery and django-q is mostly misguided. People normally actually need a good scheduler and a bring-your-own queue in tables that you poll. I wrote Urd to cover my use cases and it's been rock solid.


I had a situation this weekend where Claude said "x does not make sense in [context]" and didn't do the change I asked it to do. After an explanation of the purpose of the code, it fixed the issue and continued. Pretty cool.

(Of course, I'm still cognizant of the fact that it's just a bucket of numbers but still)


My kingdom for an LLM that tells me I’m wrong

Funny, I wrote something with the exact same title in 2022: https://kodare.net/2022/06/24/optimize-for-momentum.html

Re AI: I find that Claude can massively help and massively hurt with this, the devil is in the details.


I think the buffer size is the limit on what they check for malicious data, so the old 128k would mean it would be trivial to circumvent by just having 128k ok data and then put the exploit after.

I got curious and I checked AWS WAF. Apparently AWS WAF default limit for CloudFront is 16KB and max is 64KB.

I don't think "persuasion" is the key here. People change political preferences based on group identity. Here AI tools are even more powerful. You don't have to persuade anyone, just create a fake bandwagon.

Are you confusing apps sold on Steam with games made by Valve?


Maybe I'm not up to date. Are there no longer loot boxes in Counter Strike?
