I think that's a failure mode of using the legacy completions API rather than the new responses API. With the responses API, the agent actually goes and does the things it's supposed to do.

7.0-rc1 has a tag with it:

    % git describe a664bf3d603d
    v7.0-rc1-10-ga664bf3d603d
I suspect this means the stable 7.0 has it too.

I expect they didn’t see it not being renewed coming because the contract was renewed every time for the past 25 years.

Yes, you can quote the values and embed them directly, but what if you want to do something like this?

    shell('echo "Hello, {user}"')
You would have to do something like:
    arg_for_echo = f"Hello, {user}"
    shell(f"echo {shlex.quote(arg_for_echo)}")
The main drawback of quoting values like that is that you can't embed them inside an argument in the shell. The environment variable "trick" I used avoids this problem.

Using quotes to sanitize arguments like that is how google/zx (library for writing shell/JS hybrid scripts) handles arguments: https://google.github.io/zx/quotes

My physical hardware becoming suddenly unprogrammable because the company hosting the flashing site went out of business isn’t okay. It should be a software that I can download and is not dependent on any external servers.

If the device depends on their servers to work in the first place, I love not having to download and trust the software though!

But what if the attacker deleted the verification email after they merged the GitLab accounts? Then they still have a backdoor to your GitLab.

Also anecdotally, I’m a college student and do not use LLMs to generate my papers.

I have however asked ChatGPT to cite sources for specific things, to varying success. Surprisingly, it returns sources that actually exist most of the time now. They often aren’t super helpful though because they either aren’t in my school’s library or are books rather than articles.
