  • and the only realistic way to achieve that is to make the people using their service reconsider.

    So what exactly will naming the site achieve? If someone wants to boycott recaptcha (which I’m 100% onboard with, btw) they’ll just not comply with the captcha and leave the site when they encounter it. On the other hand, someone who would not otherwise visit the site cannot reduce traffic to the site by direct action. Telling their friends “don’t use that site, it uses recaptcha” is no more effective than telling them “don’t use any site that requires you to do QR recaptchas.”





  • What if this is the new normal? I reckon newer models won’t suddenly stop discovering flaws, right?

    My (non-expert) impression is that what has been recently discovered is a particular category of flaws that had until now not been considered, and that’s why we’re seeing such a surge in found vulnerabilities: everyone and their grandmother is fishing across Linux subsystems for the novel pattern. The optimistic outlook is that there will be a saturation point where nearly all flaws matching this pattern have been found, and the incidence of new reports slows to a trickle.




  • My career is already impacted by others using it, whether I use it or not. Those who rely heavily on LLMs produce worse and larger code, and those relying on it heavily are not the best in the first place. It’s turning -1x developers into -10x developers on account of them causing additional cognitive load on everyone else.

    As for me? I don’t have FOMO. If I’m right and it’s a bubble that will collapse, then I’ll be better suited to weather it. If I’m wrong and LLMs are all they’re cracked up to be, then I will be able to get up to speed quickly.
