Technology•Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instantEnglish
3·2 days agoThere are no guardrails.
We CAN set the guardrails, I do it constantly. This technology is very powerful, it’s up to us to use good practices, it’s up to business leaders and developers to ensure that precautions are taken.
My main recommendation, and hard limit that will never change: Do not let the AI make core file changes without human-in-the-loop permission every time.
If you let an AI agent delete files outside of your project directory on your computer without you needing to click “I approve” with the ability to review it, you’re setting yourself up for a huge mistake. Never give AI agents access to anything outside project scope, and keep project scope tight.

3·2 days agoThat’s a crazy decision to make. I own my car outright thankfully. In the future once my car is used up and completely in the green as an investment to commute to work, I’m going to consider leasing a very modern electric vehicle for 2 years.

265·2 days agoThe developer is to blame. Using a cutting edge tool irresponsibly. I have made mistakes using AI to help coding as well, never this bad though. Blaming AI would be like blaming the hammer a roofer was using to hammer nails and slamming their finger accidentally with it. You don’t blame the hammer, you blame the negligence of the roofer.

13·2 days agoYou don’t need “a structured programme to manufacture nuclear weapons” for it to be clear that’s what the intention is. At that point it’s already too late.
Again: You don’t need highly enriched uranium (HEU) for civilian nuclear power operations.

26·3 days agoThanks for proving my point. From the article you linked:
Most worryingly for the international community, Iran had by last summer produced a stockpile of just over 440kg of highly enriched uranium (HEU), of 60% purity. In terms of technical difficulty, once at 60%, it is a relatively easy step to reach 90% – weapons-grade uranium that can be used to make a compact warhead.
You don’t need HEU for civilian nuclear power operations.

Technology•Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599English
3·5 days agoReputable second hand sellers guarantee that the device works properly before shipping. If I needed a laptop, I would get a low grade one on eBay for cheap. I would probably get a used Dell Precision 5570 Laptop with an i9/A2000.

Hardware•Intel's make-or-break 18A process node debuts for data center with 288-core Xeon 6+ CPU — multi-chip monster sports 12 channels of DDR5-8000, Foveros Direct 3D packaging techEnglish
51·5 days agoIt’s great to see the “cutting edge”, but as for the AI bubble and data center growth, we’re now at the point where models are reaching saturation. You soon will not need a powerful frontier model to do the task for you, all you’ll need is a small distilled quantized model. The majority of AI usage in the near future will involve smaller efficient models provided context to do very specific redundant tasks like digitizing text, doing price comparisons, or harvesting data.

Technology•Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?"English
7·13 days agoInteresting, I tried it with DeepSeek and got an incorrect response from the direct model without thinking, but then got the correct response with thinking. There’s a reason why there’s a shift towards “thinking” models, because it forces the model to build its own context before giving a concrete answer.
