Comment Re:Non VR VR! (Score 1) 19

That's the part that perplexes me. I can't say I have followed the Vision Pro that closely recently, but at least in the early days, it was very locked down. There are large parts of the system (sensors) that I understand are still not accessible to 3rd party apps. I remember reading several VR developers who were trying to port software from the Quest to AVP and simply couldn't.

To me it would have made sense to open it up entirely. Porn, video games, emulators, whatever!

Are you unsure what "agentic" means? Generically, agency means, more or less, being able to do things. An agentic AI program (ChatGPT in agentic mode, OpenClaw, Claude code) can take actions without being controlled by humans. This is also sometimes called an autonomous agent, but "agentic" has become the dominant term over last year or two.

If you were to try something like Claude code, for example, you would see that it can run shell commands, grep through a source tree, edit files, run git commands, compile, execute, review output, edit code, compile again, etc.

Your post is confused as it assumes that LLMs looking for security vulnerabilities are -- in your words -- "LLMs can unreliably find some defective code patterns if they are obvious enough. (Remember, they cannot do deduction, just statistical pattern recognition. Too much noise or too far from the template and they fail."

That is false. The LLM models in an agentic system are doing more than just looking for "defective code patterns."

LLMs can perform source code level analysis, but they can also, in agentic mode, run fuzzing tools, scan for open ports, write a custom program to attempt to fuzz or exploit an open port, review the output, modify the code to try again, compile, repeat, and so forth. Multiple instances of agentic AIs can do this for many hours and more.

As I've said multiple times before Gweihir, I really don't know if you're trolling or not. You've seemed at least somewhat informed before, so I'm really surprised you didn't know what agentic means, or what has been possible with these tools. ChatGPT agent mode has been out for about a year, and Claude code for a bit longer.

There are two categories of realtime: soft and hard. Realtime is complicated, and no OS can guarantee hard realtime if the hardware is not up to the task (excuse the pun.) For example, if you are running an OS written in assembly language on am Intel 8051 microcontroller clocked at 10 Mhz you cannot handle events that could easily achieve hard realtime on a modern system, because the task switching overhead alone precludes such capability, even if your application is just an infinite loop.

At Walmart, extremely low quality everything is available year-round.

It's been ages since I was last in a Walmart.....when I looked at the extreme poor quality of meat and even most veggies/fruit I could not believe how bad it was, and not significantly cheaper than one of the "real" grocery stores around the area.

I just can't believe people regularly shop at Walmart....at least for food....???

I would restrict that even further to "LLMs can unreliably find some defective code patterns if they are obvious enough". (Remember, they cannot do deduction, just statistical pattern recognition. Too much noise or too far from the template and they fail.) That is useful, but it is not a game-changer for the defenders.

That is not an accurate statement. The current round of discussions are centered around projects that in large part are agentic. Source code analysis is only one of the detection methods that is being used.

Look, it's not complicated. Disregard everything that Sam Altman says. Disregard both the furthest extremes of the "AGI is here and sentient" / "LLMs are Godlike!" and the "LLMs are trash that are not useful and aren't going to improve and are a passing fad" (gweihir). All of the above are not insightful.

Everything has changed. ChatGPT-3 was released in 2022. Everything HAS changed since then, and LLM technology and models have improved dramatically in the last 4 years. Why would you not expect statements like "that used to be true, but not anymore" to be problematic? Humans couldn't fly, until they we could. We couldn't visit the moon, until we could. Changing your baseline assumptions is part of human progress.

Sure, maybe nice to live in... how about a job so you can afford to live there? Pretty sure Mayberry (that sort of town) doesn't have many $100k+ jobs around.

See that's your problem....there aren't 2 choices....NYC or Mayberry.

That's been dead for a 100 years.

I've never lived as an adult in a major metropolitan area, but in what I term "normal city"....mostly in the SE of the US.

I've worked in IT for most all of it...various things, lead DBA, some sys admin Linux....etc.

I've made well into the 6 figures area and lived in areas where there was plenty to do, cost of living was more than reasonable....and great folks to live with a next door to....

Nothing remotely resembling "Mayberry" nor anything remotely rural....but nothing urban either.

And around here, making $133K+ can buy you a nice house and a pretty sweet life.
