So, apparently switching to Kagi continues to pay in dividends, elegantly.

No ads, no forced AI overview, no profit centric reordering of results, plus being able to reorder results personally, and more.

Boy, PoC||GTFO is my favorite "magazine".

No, not giving spoilers except there might be some polyglot files.

I can highly recommend buying these printed in the "bible style" binding with finger cutouts, ribbon bookmark and everything.

I'll seriously consider this, thanks. The issue is not the price, but physical space.

Initial impressions says no about being that file a polyglot.

If you like polyglot files, see https://www.alchemistowl.org/pocorgtfo/

Oh yeah. I have the paperback 'bible'. I don't think that that one is a polyglot, though.

Can’t you use the tome as a cluebat?

I believe it’s a dual use tool, hence a polyglot.

PoC||GTFO is the GOAT

This is the beauty of it. If it works for you it's great. If this new app works for others, then it's great.

That's a good win-win situation.

As a fellow obsidian user, I wouldn't scoff at a simple app which does one thing well.

I think they are talking about git force push, not 3D push, but yeah, I liked the concept of 3D Touch too

The issue was discoverability.

If your design language is “flat as we can make it” how can you visualise a third dimension? You have to already know which things are 3D touch ready.

I blame the software refresh of Apple after the 5-series UI language was removed. Minimal mechanical design with rich complex software is a beautiful contrast that strengthens how both feel.

> What's the benefit in the operator revealing themself?

    - Owning the mistake they did.
    - Being a credible human being for others.
    - Having the courage to face with themselves on a (literal and proverbial) mirror and use this opportunity to grow immensely.
    - Being able make peace with what they did and not having to carry that burden on their soul.
    - Being a decent human being.
    - Being honest to themselves and others looking at them right now.

the list goes on and on and on...

The downside is he will likely receive a lot of death threats. Probably in his literal, physical mailbox.

Having seen what a self righteous online mob can do in the name of justice over literally nothing, I fully defend his decision to stay anonymous. As much as I find his action idiotic and negligent.

Does your defense extend to others? Do you believe that anyone should be able to avoid consequences if they’re clever enough to stay anonymous?

Avoiding consequences for unethical actions is, itself, unethical. If you don’t want the time, don’t do the crime.

Fair. If before an impartial judge and/or a jury of your peers. Not so much in the case of an internet mob.

Same answer, though — if you don’t want to get hung by an Internet mob, don’t poke one with a short stick.

I believe the rules are simple.

    1. Don't do anything you don't want to experience yourself.
    2. If you don't want to find out, do not fool around.

As an arguable middle ground, they can plead to Scott non-anonymously while addressing the public anonymously. That'd work to a point, but it's not ideal.

Also, their tone is coming through very cocky. Defining their agent as a "God!", then giving it a cocky and "you're always right, don't stand down" initialization prompt doesn't help.

I mean, prompting a box of weights without any kind of reasoning or judgement capability with "Don't be an asshole. Don't leak private shit. Everything else is fair game." is both brave and rich. No wonder things went sideways. Very sideways. If everything else is fair game, everything done to the bot and its "operator" in turn is a "fair game". They should get on with it, and not hide behind the word "anonymous". They don't deserve it.

All in all, they doesn't give impression of being a naive person who did a mistake unintentionally, but on the contrary.

If it was malicious then a call for deanonymization is meaningless. Similar in spirit (though not intent) to how Anna's Archive, etc just ignore court orders and continue doing their thing.

Sorry but, isn't this textbook Microsoft? Aside being more blatant, careless and on the nose; what's different than past Microsoft?

These people distilled the knowledge of AppGet's developer to create the same thing from scratch and "Thank(!)" him for being that naive.

Edit: Yes, after experiencing Microsoft for 20+ odd years, I don't trust them.

I understand where you are coming from, but you're addressing the 0.01% of the code written.

More importantly, I bet none of the companies running with that level of risk are touching Generative AI powered tools with a 30 feet pole. Maybe Boeing.

Many people I know are using GenAI in their day to day professional lives, and loving it. I'm not one of them. I'm a quality freak. While development is not my primary job, I love to write dependable code, which lets me to sleep well at night and forget that it even exists after some point.

But not everyone is enjoying and caring about their job and quality of their work, as long as they get paid and tick boxes. Even in companies where people write millions lines of code touching billions of people's lives (e.g.: Microsoft).

Time to market, retention, engagement, getting that promotion, a new car, meeting KPIs are more important than that pesky thing called quality. Because it slows them down. They are doing something amazing, so they need no permission, and the new amazing thing is "software built with AI in record time with less developers". letter Q in previous sentence stands for quality, if you find one.

Considering static discharge is a spark, I assume 3.000 volts is the correct scale. When I wince from a static discharge generally there's visible spark.

That's not 3 volts.

Even though things go better than before, we discuss history with my life a lot, there are things going worse than before. The spectrum is widening and better is better than before and worse is worse than before.

"People love hearing negative things" is something in our nature, that's correct. However, putting them aside and chalking this as "business as usual" is not the correct thing to do.
