I see this comment a lot but I can't help but feel it's 4 weeks out of date. The version of o1 released on 2024-12-17 so rarely hallucinates when asked code questions of basic to medium difficulty and provided with good context and a well written prompt, in my experience. If the context window is sub-10k tokens, I have very high confidence that the output will be correct. GPT-4o and o1-mini, on the other hand, hallucinates a lot and I have learned to put low trust in the output.

You're right - I should have been upfront about the documentation update. However, the point about "Less is More" being a fundamental coding philosophy was an important addition that better articulates how this principle shapes the entire framework. Next time, I'll be explicit. Thanks.

Those “how I feel about Devin after using it” comments at the bottom are damning, when you compare them to the user testimonials of people using cursor.

Seems to me that agents just aren’t the answer people want them to be, just a hype wave obscuring real progress in other areas (eg. MCST) because they’re easy to implement.

…but really, if things are easy to implement, at this point, you have to ask why they haven’t been done yet.

Probably, it seems, because it’s harder to implement in a way that’s useful than it superficially appears…

Ie. If the smart folk working on Devin can only do something of this level, anyone working on agentic systems should be worried, because it’s unlikely you can do better, without better underlying models.
> You can mitigate this by including PCRs that sign the kernel and initrd

nope! the trick the article is describing works even if the kernel and initrd is measured. it uses the same kernel, initrd, and command line.

the reason this trick works is that initrds usually fall back to password unlock if the key from the tpm doesn't work. so the hack replaces the encrypted volume, not the kernel, with a compromised one. that is:

1. (temporarily) replace encrypted volume with our own, encrypted with a known password.

2. boot the device.

3. the automated tpm unlock fails, prompting for a password.

4. type in our password. now we're in, using the original kernel and initrd, but it's our special filesystem, not the one we're trying to decrypt.

5. ask the tpm again for the key. since we're still using the original kernel, initrd, and command line, we should now get the key to unlock the original encrypted volume.

the way to fix this is to somehow also measure encrypted volume itself. the article points to suggestions of deriving a value from the encryption key.

Which is why they will get away with it. It is why others people get away with similar behaviour in general in many jurisdictions. One legislation (which is slow to change and can be opposed by lobbying) catches up with one thing they do something new.

It only takes one for a PoC. It only takes few to establish a service. Spatial and color accuracy is going to be a challenge, but I imagine there already exist methods to correct for that - e.g. printing reference patterns along with the data, so the scanner/digitizer can calibrate to it on the fly.
That's a false dichotomy. People can write code themselves and thoroughly test it too.

Americans used to build cities with brick and masonry. They were repeatedly destroyed by strong earthquakes, as would happen to your city if subject to similarly severe earthquakes. Americans paid for that lesson in blood.

European houses are not designed to withstand American disasters. A brick house that can survive a M8.5 earthquake, which is the safety standard where I live, will be almost purely steel structurally and very expensive to build. The brick would be decorative, which can be (and is) done on a wood frame.

> Let's Encrypt was (one of) the first to use drastically shorter life spans, hence all the ACME automation effort.

Surely there are tradeoffs in having to rotate the certs that often, right? Notably, considerable load on their infrastructure. I get that urging people to automate their renewals makes sense (though I've also heard people unironically saying: "I want it to be a manual process, so I know how it works instead of relying on some black box"), but it seems that shorter and shorter cert lifetimes might put more strain on a service that nigh everyone seems to just be using for free.

FOSDEM is a not-for-profit org. They run on sponsorships and donations. Many sponsors are what we would consider to be part of Big Evil Tech. The last year I was at the FOSDEM beer event, Google sponsored many rounds of beer, in addition to helping pay for the conference. All the money that goes into FOSDEM is invested in subsequent editions.

FOSDEM org gets money from the sponsored talk, but no one is required to attend it. If you don't like Dorsey or his talk, you don't have to attend it. Or better yet, you can attend it and ask critical questions.

> The way that this syntax (see bash, zsh, fish, etc) usually work is that these lists are separated by spaces.

And programming languages that have variables, string type, and function calls do the opposite. In C, Python, JavaScript etc, in order to start a program you make a function call with a list of strings.

> Choosing space for a very common thing in your language often makes sense,

Not interpreting space separated things as strings but as keywords (built ins, variable names, literals) makes more sense for bigger programs.

Not to take away from your opinion, but I guess time will tell? As models get better, it's possible that wide tools like Devin will work better and swallow tools that do one thing. I think companies much rather have a AI solution that works like what they already know (developers), than one that works in the IDE, another that watches to Github issues, another that reviews PRs, and one that hangs on Slack and makes small fixes.

> Businesses like Factory AI or my own are taking that approach and we're seeing real interest in our products.

Interest isn't what tools like Devin are lacking, (un)fortunately.

To be clear, I do share a lot of scepticism regarding all the businesses working around AI code generation. However, that isn't because I think they'll never be able to figure it out, but because I think they are all likely to figure it out at the end, at the same time, when better models come out. And none of them will have a real advantage over the other.
Without prior knowledge, that reads like a scam?

When you get a detailed quotation from a manufacturer it's usually split into three: NRE, time (labor and machine) and material. Energy and other recurring consumables go under material.

In case of semiconductors with frontier processes (last few generations) NRE is extremely high and machine time rates are expensive. Doubling or tripling energy costs would have negligible effects.
I think the true legacy of React will be normalizing tight coupling, especially when combined with Tailwind. An entire generation of developers learned to bundle everything into JavaScript - content, styling, behavior, and state all living in the same files. Nue aims to reverse this mindset by showing how proper separation enables more sophisticated systems, particularly once our design systems arrive and you can see the difference. Now it's just words.
OP gave a render budget of 100ms _after_ the data has loaded. That’s unacceptable. If this were a MacOS app, that would mean dragging a window corner to resize the content , forcing a new layout and redraw, would yield 10 fps of change. And yet nearly all native apps redraw and layout instantly, even with complex tables of text at various fonts and sizes.

This is also a great litmus test to check if an app was made with electron because they always redraw slowly.
Untill the software is reused for a newer model with longer range and they forget to increase the ram size.

With aircraft regularly travelling thousands of miles, would be interesting to know whether route choices are made to avoid being "under"* the track of a rocket's launch?

In corporate speak, this was a major sales win for that startup, and I don’t think they would have gone this far without a lot of people at Walgreens buying into the concept.

Which makes me think there is a major disconnect between those people and Walgreens customers—I mean, it’s obvious that people who like shopping like to browse, and that they also like to have the least possible amount of stuff between them and what they are looking for.

So completely breaking that experience (and often having people open doors that had no product behind them) is probably frustrating enough for those people to shop elsewhere, or to simply avoid those aisles and shop less.

Genius move, if you want to lose customers.

You're using it to write code. I did that and saw all the same problems. I was particularly taken aback by the deleting code thing. (Me: "Why did you delete that code - it has nothing to do with the task I asked you to do". AI: "Oh you're right, sorry".)

I set a far lower bar for paying for windsurf - I just wanted a smarter grep. I was blown away when I pointed it at some code and asked it questions I knew the answer to. But then I asked it questions I didn't know the answer to. I can't recall it helping in the slightest on any code base I was familiar with.

Maybe it will help writing unit tests. It sure as hell didn't help for a Python 2 to 3 conversion. 50% of it was just plain wrong, and most of the remaining 50% needed fixing. So far, for this person who has been programming for 40 years, it a net drag on productivity.

Countries like Japan use the same construction techniques as the western US. Few countries have earthquakes as strong as the Pacific Rim, where M8-9+ are regular occurrences. Properly designed wood-framed houses will survive that.

I’ve never seen a house in Europe that was engineered to the M8.5 earthquake standard that is mandatory where I live in the US. They used to construct houses like in Europe but they kept getting destroyed in earthquakes and were made illegal for safety reasons.

We could say that rockets are not code. A test run of a Spaceship surely cost much more than a test run of any software on my laptop but tests are still tests. They are very likely to fail and there are things to learn from their failures.

With some logic to update the values on kernel updates and re-seal the secret this can be handled transparently. That's the design with sdbootutil in openSUSE (https://en.opensuse.org/Systemd-fde, https://github.com/openSUSE/sdbootutil).
