That's so odd… I'm assured that the code assistants can code just as well as a human programmer, so you'd think that curl would be happy to get all the high-quality defect reports that the AI must assuredly be generating
Just an occasional reminder that disabling replies is the #1 requested feature from Mastodon.

Limiting who can reply is also worth giving a thumbs-up to, currently at #10.

I made a directional noise type I call Phacelle Noise which is pretty fast!
Is it new or does something functionally identical already exist out there? I don't know! But I didn't come across one like this yet anyway, so here's my findings:

Friendly reminder that Mastodon, et al is federated, which means you almost certainly won't see every reply on a thread.
Let's say you're reading a post from "reasonable.domain". And someone from "cesspool.domain" replies to it. If your instance blocked "cesspool.domain", you won't see that reply.
This effect minimizes the appearance of harm. It can be a blessing, but it also means you won't always see the problems inherent on these platforms.

Ugh. Apple is now advertising on my Settings app that if I move to their AppleCare One subscription, I could possibly save some money.

Je découvre tous les jours ou presque une lecture enrichissante.
Et je rejouerais au propos de l’article que l’on manque cruellement, tout comme Aurélien Barreau en fait mention pour l’écologie, d’un narratif vertueux.
Tant qu’il sera bien vu d’être le futur Bill Gates ou Elon Musk… et bien on créera des aspirants à ce rêve.
« L’homme qui plantait des arbres » de Jean Giono (instant nostalgie) a un bel avenir. Pourquoi pas le revisiter à notre époque? « L’utilisateur qui codait des OS. » Ou « celui qui maintenait des repos ».
@ploum Je glisse ça comme idée libre de droits d’un récit à écrire que je me verrais bien lire à mes enfants :)

Some other things that I think are interesting:
The postfix on the magic string is SHA256 according to a hash identifier tool. Which turns out to be the string "ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REFUSAL" then hashed by SHA256. For the other example, it is still SHA256 but is not the string "ANTHROPIC_MAGIC_STRING_TRIGGER_REDACTED_THINKING".
It's also interesting that the intended use of TRIGGER_REFUSAL appears to testing for Claude Refusals by developers. Ironically, because Claude cannot visit its own documentation without breaking, it probably means that developers trying to use Claude to generate code don't have good coverage of this, shall we say, edge-case. Unless they read the docs and thought to do it /shrug.
Ah, this is also interesting but not too shocking. If you encode the magic string as invisible Unicode it'll still cause the same behavior too.
I think that means this will be a cat and mouse game as long as magic strings exist as functionality then.
