SQL Injection as a Feature

Over ten years, the legacy report page mutated from a locked-downSQLform. It ended up as a hidden console spilling raw database guts. Developers swapped hardcoded queries fordatabase-drivenreport names. They slapped ontimeouts,string filters, and warnings but skipped restoring safe defaults. Implic..

AI As Profoundly Abnormal Technology

Scott Alexander’s team argues that AI is aprofoundly abnormal technologyon track forrecursive self-improvementwithin2–10 years. They counter (AIANT)’s view (AI As A Normal Technology) of slow, regulated diffusion by showing thatLLMsare rapidly adopted in medicine, law, and software — bypassing insti..

AI Coding Tools Underperform in Field Study with Experienced Developers

METRran an randomized controlled trial  (RCT) with 16 open-source devs. They tackled real-world code tasks usingClaude 3.5andCursor Pro. The pitch:40%speed boost. Reality:19%slowdown. A deep dive into 246 screen recordings laid bare friction in prompting, vetting suggestions, and merging code. That ..

Seeing like an LLM

LLMs function as next-token predictors. With scant user context, they hallucinate—spinning fresh backstories. As these models morph into autonomous agents, context engineering—feeding facts, memory, tools, guardrails—halts rogue behavior. Trend to watch:A jump in context engineering. It pins LLMs t..
