It's already a configurable option in the kernel which can be fully disabled by distros if they wanted to provide their own compatibility layer, or just not ship any software that has a hard dependency on it.

It's based on an interpretation of "derived from". It does not matter if it's in the GPL explicitly or not since we're talking about uutils and their stance on it, and they've written that: https://g

What's even harder is doing that while trying to avoid the GPL, so doing that without reading the original source code. uutils would be so much better imo if it was GPL and took direct inspiration from the coreutils source code.

Managed agents aren't particularly harder to replicate yourself either. Give me a team of 3 good engineers, 4 months, and about $600k and I'll have a clone that operates on a warm pool of ec2 instances, or warm pool of k8s pods, o

You know, you can write in English if you want on this english-language forum. I assume you're saying "You can just generate your own harness to not be subject to these claude code issues". Unfortunately, Anthropic has alread

This is an argument for open models, where you can run your model with your system prompt on your hardware, which prevents the provider from arbitrarily injecting system prompts. This is an argument for open source tooling (like opencode) a

You cannot run Linux on the macbook neo at the time of writing, unless you mean in a VM, and the processor + memory are barely enough to reasonably manage that. Even a mid-sized rust project, or a nixos build, would OOM for a VM.

Yeah, I've run tests similar to this while evaluating gpt 5.4 vs claude 4.6 Claude is more likely to figure out workarounds and get things deleted if I tell it to delete stuff, so it performs much better in this benchmark and I prefer

There are a ton of words where the loan-word is commonly used even when there's a native word. For example, there's both "desuku" for desk, and also "tsukue" (the original japanese word). They're both in v

You do use the browser extension because it's a strong anti-phishing defense. If someone links me to "rnicrosoft.com" with a perfectly cloned login page, my eyes might not notice that it's a phishing link, but my browser

For most CLIs, I definitely feel extra network calls because they translate to real latency for commands that _should_ be quick. If I run "gh alias set foo bar", and that takes even a marginally perceptible amount of time, I'

They need to give your app the environment variables later so they cannot throw away the key. For non-sensitive environment variables, they also show you the value in the dashboard so you can check and edit them later. Things like 'NOD

They should charge for it. If you buy the 'iPhone Max' for $1500, you get ads, and if you buy the 'iPhone Max ad-free' for $3800, you don't get any ads in the app store, apple maps, apple news, or the various other

All the other models performed much worse for the skills I'm using. I tried gpt-5.1 (and then 5.4 again recently), and also tried pointing it at OpenRouter and using a few of the cheaper models, and all of them added too much friction

You can buy a roughly $40k gpu (the h100) which will cost $100/mo in electricity on top of that to get about 30-80% the performance of OpenAI or Anthropic frontier models, depending what you're doing. Over 5 years, that works out
