YouTube has this. It’s YouTube Kids. You can argue all day over whether it’s good enough but they do have this offering.

No affiliation with Mozilla, just a very long time FF user. They don't release this info so I don't know. That said, the best info I can find is here [0]. It claims that 87% of Firefox's contributions are from "mozilla&q

Honestly though - they’re enough to “protect the kids”. Any kid that’s smart enough to get around them is going to be snart enough to get around a VPN ban. You are right though - the fact that those controls exist and are in place and the U

That’s because they don’t want to stop VPNs, they want to criminalise the ones they don’t have visibility into.

How does banning VPNs equate to policing drug dealing? The drug dealing is already illegal.

Parents have the tools already here in the UK. ISPs come with adult content disabled by default and someone has to opt in to it. Every major OS (Windows, Mac, iOS, android) ships with device level parental controls. Games consoles enforce t

Dunno, we use perforce. The 499GB is assets.

One of the problems with tools is the permissions for them. I can either grant Claude access to this one specific python command, or free run with python to do whatever it wants, but not “you can execute the python scripts in this directory

by maccard 5mo ago
Honestly - I think it's because it goes against the "vibe" part of the tooling - why do you care what the code looks like as long as when you run it it does what you want it to do?

It's not _really_ any different to running an undocumented third party binary. Is it the height of irresponsibility to run Windows, or VSCode, or Spotify? I think the model we've got now is wrong, and the harnesses should be OS-le

My last project was about 400Gb, and probably 2M lines of C++. The days size is mostly assets but there’s still a lot of code.

The problem with agents is they regularly sidestep the guardrails and do what they want with a script anyway. The number of times I’ve seen Claude try to escape the folder it’s working in, and then for it to write a python script that does

Harnesses do fix it IMO - it’s why Claude code and Codex had a massive jump in alleged productivity on release and then seems to have flatlined. But a custom harness _would_ allow you to do things like “on every message, run lint validation

Can you share your rules and some of the example PRs that it auto generates and reviews? The number of times I’ve seen Claude say “this test was failing already so is ignored” when it _wasnt_ despite me telling it to never do that makes me

This is why standardising in USB c the connector was a mistake.
411.
by maccard 5mo ago
By that logic why would anything have to be standardised?

by maccard 5mo ago
I disagree. Rust's defacto default is serde, golang comes with batteries included, dotnet/java have had it for _years_, and all the dynamic languages do it.

Sure, but > The magic sauce? Boost.PFR! An incredibly clever library that enables reflections on aggregates, even in C++17. That's not vanilla C++!

I think Gitlab is probably the best option, or gitea. Personally I'm not a fan of Codeberg - I think their licensing is a mess.

That demo was an absolute disaster for me on Firefox on mac. It just fundamentally didn't work - the voice wasway behind my pointer, there were multiple agents speaking over each other saying conflicting things, and it couldn't ev

Exactly. I want to set up elastic search - I can either have procurement go through their sales, or be up and running via the marketplace in less time than it would take me to fill in the RFQ form to send to procurement.

No, the problem is I’m buying hardware that’s readily available to me. The cheapest framework laptop I can assemble in the UK at the time of writing this is “estimated” at £1226. System76 seems to be us based and the pricing is similar. Whe
