"Scott is not suing" For what?

I just think everyone who says they don't like magic should be forced to give an extemporaneous explanation of paging.

Yeah. Lots of busywork where if you had to assign it to a human you would need to find someone with deep technical expertise plus inordinate, unflagging attention to detail. You couldn’t pass it off to a batch of summer interns. It would ha

I sincerely doubt you produced the source where he asked that question in the middle of someone else’s job talk. Which is what I was referring to. I read what you wrote, pal. Did you read what I wrote?

I do t see either of those as the premise. This is about getting the computer to do the stuff we had been promised computing would make easier, stuff that was never capital-H Hard but just annoying. Most of the real claw skills are people c

Do we know that engine is not Turing-complete for sure?

That’s not true. Lots of apple’s own first party apps use SBPL to sandbox because the entitlement granularity doesn’t cut it. There’s also lots of apps on the MAS which use temporary-exception SBPL to fully sandbox. I agree that there is no

There’s not that much detail. A few comments in 2019 from a DTS person indicated that Apple didn’t really anticipate people shipping on this in volume. My guess is they want to dissuade people from using it. They can’t immediately just do a

Oh I like this. Taste couldn’t be transitive into software before but now it can.

You don’t understand the allure of having a computer actually do stuff for you instead of being a place where you receive email and get yelled at by a linter?

What a new an interesting viewpoint which has the ability to change as the evidence does!

Still deprecated. Still in use by everyone.

Claude, Firefox, safari, chrome, etc etc etc etc Basically everyone who has to care about security on the Mac.

Why is it on hacker news? That’s the implied question. It’s an issue on a piece of software. There’s more than 10,000 of them. Why is it news?

I really don't think we're living in a "linearly interpolate from past behavior" kinda situation. https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.14928 Just read some of that. It's not long. This IS NOT the past te

This is just a github issue with a vague complaint.

Don't treat chat as anything other than ephemeral. That's the only workaround.

Don't treat chat as a contracted space. It's inhalation and exhaust. Store things you care about on disk!

No the same question CANNOT be asked of source code because it can execute. You might as well ask for a record of the conversations between two engineers while code was being written. That's what the chat is. I have a pre-pre-alpha pro

You didn't read it, how would you know?

Dijkstra also said no one should be debugging and yet here we are. He's not wrong about the problems of natural language YET HERE ARE. That would, I think, cause a sensible engineer to start poking at the predicate instead of announcin
