I think Google added that AI-generated responses maybe incorrect? When you are paying such a low amount of cost, like probably for free, I don't think you can expect a same level of quality as a human written or reviewed of answer. It is like same random user spin up their Lovable and vibe-coded a piece of slop and hold Lovable responsible for not giving them production quality code. It is simple, you get what you paid for. If someone actually figured out AI that is actually always correct, it would be charged in superhuman price as well.

TLDR:

SSH into a remote box:

go install github.com/michaellee8/notifytun/cmd/notifytun@v0.1.0

notifytun remote-setup # or ~/go/bin/notifytun remote-setup

On your own laptop/desktop:

go install github.com/michaellee8/notifytun/cmd/notifytun@v0.1.0

notifytun local --target [same-target-you-use-for-ssh]

Now you get Desktop notifications on Mac/Linux/Windows when your coding harness needs your attention. Same SSH connection you already using, auto-replay on reconnections, it just works.

I personally has an isolated VM to run Claude Codex/Codex on full auto so that I can leave it around and do something else, need a way to get notified when it is done, so I built this.

No port forwarding or sending your notifications to some random server, just the same SSH connection you already using, if you can SSH into the box, you can get notifications from it. Hooks setup is fully automatic. When you disconnects, notifications goes to a sqlite store on the remote box, so that it can be replayed when you reconnect (won't flood, just give you a summary if there are too many notifications).

Just sent an connection invitation on Linkedin. This is actually designed for allow e2e automation using playwright-mcp for a previous startup i worked in that does voice-based job interview agents. The http endpoints is provided by a daemom sitting on the background, listening all input to the virtual mic and transcribing and storing it. The agent can hit /speak and /transcript through an mcp. We have built Livekit Agents specific solutions by injecting text responses but felt that is not enough since we want to be able to test the whole thing end to end so I hacked a way to do virtual mic/speaker. It was designed for closing the dev-test-debug loop so that Claude Code can develop on its own rather than relying on human to test it.

I only run software from Chinese companies inside a sandbox, either on my Android/iOS phone or inside a VM for desktop apps and only enable necessary permissions. Unfortunately Mainland tech giants have no sense of user privacy and would like to maximize their profit by collecting every single bit of your data because they don't profit on selling you the software, they profit on selling your data.

i think cs students should force themselves to learn the real thing and write the code themselves, at least for their assignments. i have seen that a lot of recent cs grads that has gpt in most of their cs life basically cannot write proper code, with or without ai.

fuck google for taking an ai-generated medium article as a reference and tell me that exceljs support charts (which it does not)

They do have lamda and it is available for test in their AI test kitchen. Seems much better handling of sensetive and offensive content then ChatGPT for me, but still cannot perform basic addition like ChatGPT does. I think it is technically better than ChatGPT but maybe they are only going to release the perfect product.

Tbf ChatGPT was far from production quality for serious applications, lots of misinformation and you can make it produce very offensive content. It is a good for toying around but you cannot take the output seriously.

That famous tech called cgroup was actually a Google contribution. But I agree that k8s is essentially Google's step to make themselves relavant in Cloud. They have missed the initial opportunity by promoting their PaaS AppEngine instead of something IaaS like ec2 in the beginning of the cloud competition, so Google just play the open-source game and keep releasing stuffs that can be used in all three clouds to lure people to use GCP. But then k8s is a very nice piece of tech that allows one to manage large clusters without vendor lock-in.
