My two cents - don’t do it. There’s plenty of terminal editors (and personal opinions about them) to chose from. You will end up reinventing an IDE.

Some commercial firewalls will snoop on the SNI header in TLS requests and send a RST towards the client if the hostname isn’t on a whitelist. Reasonably effective. If there’s a way with the macos sandboxing to intercept socket connection

This is great ! Did you have any thoughts about how to restrict network access on macos too ?

I’m married to someone running various prostate cancer studies in the UK. I hear the arguments against screening a lot and the issue really blew up recently in the news here. The thing is, when researchers talk about “worse outcomes” they’

I’ve been a mac user since 1994, system 7, and it feels to me like the overall Mac user experience and reliability (stability, speed, etc) really peaked with Snow Leopard, 10.6. This probably has a lot to do with the vastly improved hardwar

Pretty sure I went to a rave once where they used all of these.

The thing about most art, architecture, etc is that it’s incredibly subjective, so contrasting your own views with “certain left wingers” is pretty much pointless. I personally think the entire south bank is pretty ugly, but my views on thi

Thanks Neal. Is fun.

Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, posted about how he used Claude a month ago. He’s got half a dozen Opus sessions on the burners constantly. So yes, I expect it’s unmetered. https://x.com/bcherny/status/2007

He must be mad, accepting $50k of free (probably loaned?) hardware from Apple ! Great demo video though. Nice to see some benchmarks of Exo with this cluster across various models.

I’m not certain spacex is generating much cash right now ? Starship development is consuming billions. F9 & Starlink are probably profitable ? I’d say this is more shifting of the future burden of xAI to one of his companies he knows w

I was thinking exactly this. The TSMC brake can only be a good thing if it constrains capacity on a wasteful industry and encourages research into efficiency. If it also diverts workloads away from LLMs that we all know really belong elsew

How about "AI is a chainsaw" ? Pretty good for specific tasks. Probably worth the input energy, when used in moderation. Wear the right safety gear, but even this might not help with a kickback. It's quite obvious to everyone

I'm not sure I agree it's completely unenforceable: a sloppy, overly verbose PR, maybe without an attached issue, is pretty easy to pick out. There's some sensible, easily-judged-by-a-human rules in here. I like the spirit o

My local beaches on the Yorkshire coast have some of the biggest wind farms in the world. We’re never going to reduce energy consumption. It’s a balance between gas and wind here, just pick how many wind turbines you want, and burn gas to

Sorry to disagree, but we are not just closer, we’ve been there for a while. You can go out and buy solar panels to cover your roof for a few thousand dollars/pounds/euros. You could definitely not do that in 1999.

The question on my mind is will the SoundTouch app continue to be supported on new mobile OS versions ? Is it the same app that caters for other speakers too ? If it is, and Bose continue to include their old speakers on the functionality

I’m not sure a user account would contain the potential damage enough for my liking, and isn’t the point of this to enable it to “act like you” on your personal machine ? (which I maintain is a terrible idea).

Anything where an LLM has access to the shell on my personal laptop isn’t “secure” even if you do some hand waving around a split architecture.

I bet it’s simpler than that: I reckon the management don’t give a shit, and the engineers just got away with whatever they (incorrectly) thought was right because nobody whatsoever was critiquing their work.

HSBC still operate a perfectly functional website for banking. The more people who continue to use this, the better. It sends a clear signal that customers prefer the open web over restrictive and inconvenient mobile apps. I’m also hanging

Absolutely agree. I took this approach when the Kubernetes hype hit and it never limited my prospects.

Just switch to wool and cotton. Plastic clothes make you sweat. Merino wool doesn’t even need washing all that often.
