Looks good, but only Linux is supported. I like spinning up VPS’s and then discarding them when I am done. On macOS, something I haven/t tried yet but plan to: create a separate user account.
Off topic but earlier today I asked Gemini to read this article and advise how to do the same things for OpenCode. I am fascinated with trying to get good performance from small local models.
I think the value right now in LLM code assist tools is in small projects: small reusable libraries or proof of concept “I want this app even though almost no one else does” types of projects.
For libraries: still probably mostly useful for personal code bases, but for developers with enough experience to modularize development efforts even for personal or niche projects.
I am bothered by huge vibe coded projects, for example like OpenClaw, that have huge amounts of code that has not undergone serious review, refactoring, etc.
I am biased: fully support the main ideas from Center Human Technology, books like Privacy is Power and Surveillance Capitalism, etc.
This verdict is a good thing for society. I am not anti-big tech, but big tech must accept responsibility for externalities created by profit first and screw over the public business models.
For me, this is a confusing/complex set of issues: I want to see humanity thrive and tech can play a positive role in that, but with the current ‘almost fascist’ collusion of our current regime with most big tech leaders, I am worried that we won’t get the kind of protective laws we need.
We know they are going to appeal this verdict. However, the entire problem is actually a parental skill issue.
This is clearly a veiled excuse using 'protecting the children' (despite already having parental controls) to impose on everyone and rolling out more digital surveillance of everything much quicker.
When you talk about 'protective laws' do you not realize that this will extend far beyond social media platforms?
We have plenty of protective laws. Most dangerously addictive substances and activities are heavily regulated. Children aren’t allowed in Casinos or allowed to buy weed. Social media is known to be addictive and destructive. It has to be for FB to make large profit.
I fear this is a move towards government control of social media. I'd rather have Mark Zuckerberg control my Facebook feed than OFCOM. If they could, they'd prevent any content they felt harmed their agenda and introduce mandatory algorithmic boosts to friendly newspapers or public service broadcasters.
I was enthusiastic about early TensorFlow in Swift efforts, sorry when the effort ended. My interest then flowed into early Mojo development for a while.
I wrote an eBook on Swift several ago but rarely update that book anymore. Count me as one of the many developers who for a while thought Swift would take over the world. At least Swift is a fun language to use, and now with LLM coding tools writing macOS/iOS/iPadOS apps is fairly easy.
funnily enough, I talked recently to someone working on the swift compiler (not an Apple employee) to make Swift functions differentiable. So its not all dead yet
I think this is a good learning project, based in a long perusal of the github repo. One suggestion: don’t call the CLI component of the project ‘claude’ - that seems like asking for legal takedown problems.
Sometimes they do pay up. Google Gemini estimates that 25% of active daily YouTube users pay for ad free service. I know my wife and I do, and we watch a huge range of YouTube material more hours a month than all the other streaming services we subscribe to. There is no area of human knowledge or human interest that YouTube doesn’t have a ton of material for; and of course, the animal videos… The ironic thing in the subject of Sora service being cancelled is that neither my wife or I watch AI generated material.
I also prefer seeing a corporation like Google do it for two reasons: generative content might feed their cash cow also known as “YouTube” and Google already has a good base for coding assistants. Google owns, I think, 25% of Anthropic and earns money selling compute infrastructure to Anthropic. Personally I think Antigravity (with Claude and Gemini) and gemini-cli firmly keeps Google in the running as far as AI coding tools goes. I want to do business with companies that have a sustainable business plan. Google’s AI products for tech work, and ProtonMail’s Lumo+ product for all private daily web search and chatbot functionality is enough for me; I used to chase every commercial AI offering but not anymore.
A question from a non-python-security-expert: is committing uv.lock files for specific versions, and only infrequently updating versions a reasonable practice?
But, one of the arguments that I saw online from this was that when a security researcher finds a bug and reports it to the OSS project/Company they then fix the code silently and include it within the new version and after some time, they make the information public
So if you run infrequently updated versions, then you run a risk of allowing hackers access as well.
(An good example I can think of is OpenCode which had an issue which could allow RCE and the security researcher team asked Opencode secretly but no response came so after sometime of no response, they released the knowledge in public and Opencode quickly made a patch to fix that issue but if you were running the older code, you would've been vulnerable to RCE)
