This has both features and is open-source: https://nono.sh/ It's an OS-level sandbox, though. It doesn't launch VMs or containers for sandboxing purposes; it uses whatever sandboxing features your host kernel offe

`find` isn't a Bash built-in and has basically nothing to do with Bash as a language. Not knowing `find` is a basic Unix literacy issue, not a Bash language footgun. You're right that Bash is full of footguns, especially around qu

The stakes ("nature"-as-hobby vs. navigating the built environment that 99.999% of people depend on for survival) are very different, and they're also very different from the stakes of the mythologies ("we've solved

The word "capitalism" is originally a pejorative epithet, coined by critics of capitalism.

Although you mention cost, I don't see task cost or total evaluation cost per model in your data. Am I just missing it?

The dream is something batteries-included but still radically hackable. Emacs is slowly making this feasible via smaller and smaller "starter kits" as it adds new features. It's not perfect, and maybe this approach will never

Same, from beginning to end! This week I had an LLM help me debug and resolve a subtle issue with Magit via TRAMP on macOS targets, and resolve it, plus a bunch of other small enhancements and fixes to my config. If your LLM agents have acc

When I worked as a Scala developer years ago, I still used JetBrains IDEs for some things but I did most of my work in Emacs using ENSIME and ggtags/xref as a fallback. I ended up using ggtags elsewhere as well, and was pretty impresse

There's a language called "Nickel" which grew (eventually! it took a long time) out of efforts to add a type system to Nix. It's still early days in that it's under very active development and evaluation performance

Nix isn't a scripting language in the sense you seem to have in mind. The snippets you saw that looked like Bash most likely were literally Bash, embedded as multiline strings in Nix. Nix doesn't have much in common with Haskell

It's worth noting because the redirections and their syntax are nonetheless otherwise shared. I don't think POSIX compatibility for shells is that important tbf. The heart of a Unix shell has little to do with POSIX syntax.

Configurable peripherals should store their configurations entirely on-board, and they should be configurable using a well-understood protocol. Users can then use either the vendor's application, a common third-party application, or th

And they need to support prompt caching, or customers stuck on Bedrock will still find the very expensive models from OpenAI and Anthropic prics-competitive with the Chinese ones.

All of this depends on your specific shell and its parser. Fish doesn't let you put redirections at the beginning like that (though I wish it did), while GNU Bash does.

Things like this are (sadly) common (and age-old) problems with automation and computerization. (For a vivid account of this phenomenon, check out the novel _Close to the Machine_, by Ellen Ullman.) As executives and analysts increasingly u

There's a book about doing this with Git. I wonder how much of the content is cribbed from sources like that, laundered through LLMs. https://shop.jcoglan.com/building-git/

Hahahaha. I think for the limited purpose of iterating on elisp code, using gptel or efrit to let an agent run wild and iterate in a live environment could be useful. I'd want to run that in a VM though, and not as my user or with acce

Once you get it set up, Emacs is a pretty damn good "agent" multiplexer as well. I use agent-shell with Projectile on Doom Emacs as my main workflow these days, and it works very well even if I have 6 projects open or whatever. Cl

For Nixers, this isn't painful; it's magical! :'D One of the great joys of NixOS is that configuration of existing features is continuous with development of new features. Both are just NixOS modules. In the same way, configu
