I swear I watched this Keynote before when they announced Apple Intelligence. Then proceeded to deliver nothing. Apple is so lost it makes me really sad.

I'm (slowly) working on a version controlled local-first password manager for exactly this reason.

Apple Passwords reliably updates passwords in its database before the password is confirmed to be actually changed. I've been locked out of accounts many times to this. They really need to focus on these basic UX issues.

Hey Edwin. Glad to see your post pop up. I remember doing a hackathon with you back in like 2012/2013. I think the ability to get to a working prototype faster is very empowering, even if some will be tempted to ship these incomplete i

Because this isn't about guarding against general vulnerabilities. This is about guarding against a class of supply chain attack where an attacker compromises the packaging system in a way that they slip in a malicious release. It is t

The LLMs already do that themselves with `tail` all the time. There's a lot of room for improvement on top of that. Though they usually figure it out after a few tries. I often just paste manual runs errors myself anyway.

My agents often write themselves scripts. Isn't that effectively what you're asking for? Prompting for scripts can also be a useful time and accuracy tactic when you know it'll be a good fit for it.

I'm not sure how much overlap there is between this project and Tectonic [1], but that's what I use personally for local PDF generation, and it's also using a good bit of Rust. Just thought I'd mention since it's re

I think about this a lot. In some ways software is really fundamentally different from things like baking or plumbing. Many bakers love the craft but nobody expects free baked good (except maybe their family). Many plumbers are true craftsm

Imagine if they let us make and share apps too. The amount of creativity and innovation the App Store has stifled is surely enormous and downright sad.

True, and failure to scale can also kill you. Everything needs a balance that works for you.

One of Rust's central design goals is to allow zero cost abstractions. Unifying the async model by basically treating all code as being possibly async would make that very challenging, if not impossible. Could be an interesting idea, b

Security minded generalists exist. They might move slower than you expect of a MFBS (move fast break shit) engineer, but you might also end up with fewer issues later.

Surely we can give more informed answers to questions like this than to compare a technical decision to the craving for a sandwich. Comments like this are apathetic and reduce the challenges of good software engineering to hopes and random

I think it's partially accurate, and partially a consequence of how async fractures the design space, so it will always feel like a somewhat separate thing, or at least until we figure out how to make APIs agnostic to async-ness.

I hate them, but not for perhaps the normal reason. I also hate the way delivery has progressed. Delivery used to be relegated to a few types of food which were designed better for it. Remember when your pizza came hot in an insulated pizza

This is the right idea.

Lightning remains a better physical connection. So many USB-C connections I have are flimsy as hell.

Am I the only one who also finds it comical that rejecting cookies requires a cookie.

I feel obligated to chime in here a bit. I was the Alacritty member who was contacted and who offered some feedback. I have absolutely no hard feelings. Would it have been a good idea to charge them for my time, IDK. I was in between a rese

by nixpulvis 6mo ago
To be fair, they did reach out to me at the time (I was an active contributor) and I gave them some initial feedback on the design, but ultimately didn't decide to engage much more. I think the direction Alacritty wants to go in and th

I do think having some insight into the current state of the cache and a realistic estimate for prompt token use is something we should demand.

How else would you implement it?

I don't have any problem with them investing heavily in this, I just think they need to be smart about the UX and not let the business VC drive the experience this much. Pivoting from text editor to agent manager is a bad choice IMO, w
