I think that if you continue along the logical progression of the parent poster, then maybe the smaller units of functionality would be represented by simple ranges of lines of text. Given that, deleting a single button would ideally mean a single contiguous deletion from a file, versus deleting many disparate lines.

A decade or more of people copy-pasting rote solutions from StackOverflow only supports the notion that many people will forego comprehension to foster the illusion of competent productivity.

This ain't an AI problem, it's a people problem that's getting amplified by AI.


It was interesting the other day tracing the lineage of Aaron Swartz -> Library Genesis / Sci-Hub -> LLM vendors relying on that work to train their models and sell it back to us all with no royalties or accountability to the original authors of all this painstakingly researched, developed, and recorded human knowledge they’re making billions on.


they are not making billions.. they are burning billions.


That's true. Except that you can have Agents doing it 24/7 with no human input. The amount of repos/PRs is only limited by GPUs


Just curious: why wouldn't you attack this with a jail?


Jails are alien magic and typescript is safe and familiar


What, exactly, is "safe" about TypeScript other than type safety?

TypeScript is just a language anyway. It's the runtime that needs to be contained. In that sense it's no different from any other interpreter or runtime, whether it be Go, Python, Java, or any shell.

In my view this really is best managed by the OS kernel, as the ultimate responsibility for process isolation belongs to it. Relying on userspace solutions to enforce restrictions only gets you so far.


Ah I forgot to add an /s

I agree on all counts and that this project is silly on the face of it.

My comment was more that there is a massive cohort of devs who have never done sysadmin and know nothing of prior art in the space. Typescript "feels" safe and familiar and the right way to accomplish their goals, regardless of if it actually is.


agree, or just busybox or alpine linux that will have more flexibility?

but i think its still useful if we are bound to js/ts ecosystem sandboxed enviroment like in vercel.


When the tokens are nice and lean.


But that's not what he said! He distinctly said "AI", so you were probably playing capitalism, and he cheated!


Acting without due process is oppression.


$Work pays for GitHub, so the implicit solution offered is "take my money and make your service reliable"


The providers for tofu are by design the same as for terraform.

Also, for large providers like AWS, GCP, Azure, etc - these are often largely authored by the hyperscaler themselves, for better or worse.


I don't think the boring reality of most jury trials would make for an interesting screenplay.


To every commenter offering incredulity or sarcasm at the apparent obviousness of this advice:

A great swath of us did not possess the social intelligence to arrive at this conclusion independently upon our arrival in the workforce. I didn't. I got lucky.


In my experience, pretty much anything relating to spaceflight is gonna be lumped under ITAR and restricted from general disclosure.
