Thanks for the references, especially FMD tip; have the Google version disabled due to lack of trust.

Wow, straight from the source! Heartfelt thanks for maintaining this project; it becomes more pertinent by the day as we slide ever deeper into living into this dystopian surveillance state.

Thanks for the info! Might take the dive.

Curious to hear: how much effort did it take to migrate to GrapheneOS? I own a pixel, grabbed it in anticipation of unlocking, but the effort it seems it would take from reading GrapheneOS docs has stopped me from committing to it on my daily driver. Would you please provide a quick time estimate and any snags you hit?

I am with you but I inevitably think it's a skill issue. Some devs put a lot of work into the harness. I tried doing this, felt like running in place to me. the lack of RFC-tier standardization and ever-shifting api is demotivating as well since you might have written a harness that will be obsolete with next model gen/version bump

There probably is a correct way to do this, but your average "vibe coder", or even a competent solo dev just yoloing a project, are not implementing such harnesses. In the former case, they may not be able to; in the latter, you're probably better off in 1:1 human to agent workflow due to indeterminate/bad outputs and the amount of back-and-forth in prompts/specs/reviews required to get high-quality work

Then again, I saw Matz harness for his compiled ruby project was just like perms.allow find and grep. No skills, no agents.md or anything like that. Would love to see those prompts! I'm sure the fact that it was Matz had a lot to do with that working, though

Yes, but false negatives fall through. I don't pay for the call screening; maybe a paid version would be more successful.

Mostly ignore unknown numbers, but if I'm expecting a call, I will pick up.

A terse, altered "Hello" is all I say. Sometimes I don't say anything. Most humans would wait a few seconds then prompt with "...Hello?", whereas bots tend to hang up after ~2s silence

YouTube... Ways around that on Android

Have DoH/DoT enabled as you mention, then open brave, go to YouTube.com

Maybe, but that's a good use of Claude IMO. How else would one learn--by googling? Claude does the annoying aggregation of data and distills into a list.

I can tell you where Claude wouldn't have been much use: if it didn't fire right up due to a short or voltage drop that might occur during reset propagating through circuit. You're on your own at that point and gotta break out the multimeter.

Well idk if the author is actually geohot but if it is then look him up. Famous hacker from cmu ppp, I think he was first to jailbreak iPhone 4

Really? Matt is pushing for it now? Dang. Might try Sorbet out.

What IDE/LSP do you use? I was on VSCode/ruby-lsp and disabled sorbet, but after working with Zod, I became quite intrigued with the value of letting the schema do a lot of the guarding. I was under the impression that things like Crystal (statically typed Ruby) were not in vogue, and that the reason no one was moving toward static typing was because Matz did not give his blessing.

(Just checked sorbet landing page, looks like it's mainly/only for fn signatures?)

Just fyi: you can toggle auto-switching to opus if safeguarded.

My ifconfig is simple: if it's made in Shenzhen, throw it out

Looking to do this to get off stock isp leased router. What's your hardware/distro rec?

I got a degree in philosophy. Couldn't be less interested in this kind of job. I hate philosophy now

One of my biggest regrets is not getting into this stuff when I was in school. Didn't know about tech at all when I was going, just picked whatever was easy to major in and somewhat bearable. Had zero interest in school until later adulthood

I thought about writing a markdown variant that is easier to type--every token in grammar should be easily reachable from home row and should not require more than one keypress (e.g. no #). I figured same conclusion as many in comments here: no need to reinvent the wheel. Plus, the aggregate amount of time it'd save me from typing may not exceed the time it would take to implement.

Like another commenter said below, last Opus version to respect adaptive thinking and token budget flags was 4.6

I locked my default model to opus 4.6 around the time of the nerfs. Such better results compared to 4.7+

That's enshittification for ya I guess

moving more work to the type system

Sounds right up my alley. Thanks to you (and other siblings) for the thoughtful replies.

I've spent a good amount of time with C, nowhere near mastery though. Is it worth still writing C, or better off just learning Rust if my goal is to write embedded/systems code?

For me, the best way to learn a tool is for a quick example or two showing its utility, then practicing with those, reading the man as needed on specific flags. Google or bot ”how do x" ? Repeat : done

Some pages have a nice up-front synopsis of flags, others put them in a wall of text. Browsing the former can supplant Google, /\b-x while paging is helpful for the latter.

Very refreshing to see a utilitarian series such as this. Disappointing that the latest ai drama gets 20x more discussion and visibility on this site

Some of us are unsubscribing, what with the coming face scans/enshittification/downtime/throttling...

Yeah to those of us who are on the know, but maybe it can be spun as "Claude adoption breaks the internet" to the consumer

Apologies for paywall; archive.* captchas failing for me

Is this a troll

the scary middle

Not coworkers, but I started getting contributions on public GitHub repos that attempted to close issues tagged with the default "good first issue" label. Got real excited when one project I'm stoked for got its first contribution, until I looked at the PR. The account it was tied to was someone looking for work. Looked like what a model would output for a LinkedIn Job seeker NPC--im sure you can imagine.

My approach is ubolite/no script/privacy badger for when I really want chrome.

Otherwise I just run Brave. Always brave on mobile since chrome native doesn't support extensions. Seems fine for me. Oh and I set my DNS server to adguard

Probably some pixels or whatever get through but I don't have to see ads shrug

The difference between pre- and post-chatbot writeups is stark: https://igor-blue.github.io/2021/03/24/apt1.html

$100 says OP is Claude

What does setting this up look like? Qemu vm and run there? How do you interface with version control and deployment?
