Yes, that is exactly the point I am making. The agent / cli is confined within the WSL2 environment. How is it "barley" protected? Neither you nor the other guy have yet answered this question.
I never claimed WSL2 is a security sandbox. I am saying running it in a container or WSL2 allows you to severly limit the blast radius. I am not expecting the agent to be malicious, but I am expecting it to do unexpected things.
it is not about "security" but it is more about confinement. And how could it do that without sudo rights?
Technically open source harness like opencode is more "malwarey" than claude code for example because its default permissions are very open.
Why do people run and install these agents locally? No container nothing. I am running Opencode in WSL2 with the windows mounts disabled.
I use Openwebui
The context window size is also very small if you use Gemini in the app. It starts forget quite fast. In my opinion Gemini on app is useless additionally to the guardrails.
It is the same reason I decided against getting a motorcycle (I also decided against getting a PPL as well).
Yesterday I needed a tool for a specific task. In 1 hour I created a working tool with antigravity. Is it something I'd publish or sell or offer to others? Probably not, but I found that quite impressive. It is an extension of the idea "now I can program and create everything."
Besides I remember what kind of code we had when we first started coding with AI and now with all these coding agents etc. it has become quite impressive.
However, at the end it is still a tool and needs to be used accordingly.
You hit the nail on the head!
The uncertainty is one of the main reasons why I didn't bother to go the F1->H1B route and ended up leaving the US again.... but that was a decade ago.
Are you really comparing flash to opus? Shouldn't you be comparing pro?
Isn't that someone the person who created the PR? "Product Manager at @microsoft working on VS Code and GitHub Copilot!" it says on her profile
But only if you watched this 1 min Segment of today's sponsor...

Microsoft already does this with their mobile Outlook. Sent by Outlook Android / iOS on the bottom of the message.
Isn't he rage baiting? Now everyone talks about him again. Perfect for a narcissist.
This is one of the main reasons I prefer to use openrouter instead. It's prepaid.
I also use it, but I would not call it light and fast.
And yet it was OnlyOffice that enabled me to get rid of MS Office and finally switch to Linux fully.
Compared to the heavily subsidized subscriptions, I don't think API is sold at loss.
Also why would you create a throwaway for this question? Are you trying to rage bait?
Does it end every prompt output with "God bless America "?

First of all, if you have a mesh you don't have to connect to home server to talk to other devices in the same network. They connect to each other.
Second it's super easy to add a new device. Managing wireguard keys is annoying.
Third I don't have to open the port, worry about ddns etc.
Finally, for me it allows me to manage my DNS easily and I can leave tailscale running at all times. Also good luck implementing ACL on your own.
I don't see an issue with them logging when I connect to my stuff. The convenience for me is worth it more than the risk.
The title is missing an important part "... for Essay Writing Task"
Why is the how dropped? Is it automatic?
b/c they didn’t know how to play politics
Or they refuse to play that bs game
But... GitHub stars!
Podman has plenty of problems. Rootless for example has super slow networking. Last time I checked it was not a solved problem.
I remember the preview price for 2.5 flash was much cheaper. And then it got quite expensive when it went out of preview. I hope the same won't happen.
It's a bit slower performance wise
Super basic use cases, like having a CV in Word and a Budget Excel. But I switched to Onlyoffice now. I am not a huge fan of scripting in excel anyways.
