The math and cybersecurity improvements this year don’t look like plateauing to me. They’re clearly improving? But I think they’re becoming more specialized. Luna is working fine for me for ordinary web development, but I was impressed by S

I’m using Luna all the time now since it seems quite good enough for everyday programming and so that my $20/month ChatGPT subscription doesn’t hit the weekly limit. It’s an artificial constraint. I could afford to spend more on my hob

How are you doing that? Is the Playwright usage a hidden detail or do images appear in the spec?

I do something similar but without using a skill. It might be even better if the harness were to automatically write a handoff note under some circumstances? If the user is away and the cache is going to expire, that would be a good time to

I'm pretty sure I've seen it sometimes in video calls. But it might only be two-way conversations?

I don't think passively assuming you'll end up on the relevant lists is going to do it for websites that need to keep kids out for whatever reason.

Is that the "don't put my website into Google Safe search because it's porn" header? Maybe we need a "it's not for kids but it's not porn either" header.

This could have been an http header. It's hard to identify people, but blocking child-locked devices should be easy, since the devices can be built to cooperate. Then it's up to parents to give their kids child-locked devices and

It sounds like adding a Safari web app to your home screen is a slightly janky delivery mechanism? Could you use Safari for delivering the notifications even if your default browser is something else?

It makes enough sense in rural areas for a Vermont power company to lease batteries to residential customers. They avoid having to do expensive upgrades that way: https://electrek.co/2026/07/28/vermonts-larges

I suppose many apps need to phone home, but I wonder about the loss of control if a lot of apps and devices start embedding this. Tailscale seems better for controlling my own network?

If you like running everything in a VM and using a web browser as your UI, Shelley is very good: https://github.com/boldsoftware/shelley It works nicely in the browsers on my tablet and phone, too. On exe.dev you can a

It's a similar to how they are vulnerable to prompt injection attacks. That's an example of not being "loyal" to the system prompt or the user's prompt. Loyalty is a skill that requires the AI to have a world model

They apparently didn't give it any way to snitch? I like the idea of adding a distress_call skill: https://xcancel.com/swisscheese4299/status/20861758701469984...

It’s not hard to get LLM’s to inform on each other. They don’t really do loyalty.

Skill issue? Some people are clearly more vulnerable than others. You can occasionally get useful information from ads.

Nowadays I'm just working on personal projects directly on main and 'git push', but my coding agent commits after every change it makes, resulting in a zillion commits. I suppose I could do it on a branch and ask it to make a

I find that after I implement a bunch of features, I look at the code and do a refactoring pass. It seems like it makes sense to do that kind of feature work on a branch? I don't know that you need to keep the branch history though, so

Sure, Adwords migrated from GWT to Dart. (And eventually I followed.) At one point, Dart moved from the Chrome division to the Adwords division. And Adwords alone can fund a team to do developer tools for them. Then, Flutter came a bit late

Nice article, but could you get someone to fix the blog layout? Having the author card pinned to the window rather than being able to scroll past it is distracting.

I imagine the ATProto infrastructure would survive. Declining activity would be bad for BlueSky, but running a firehose is not that expensive. Many people could fund it themselves. Also, it would get cheaper to run as traffic declines. Also

Here’s another site that tracks monthly active users based on people posting or other activity such as liking a post. It also shows a decline in activity. Scroll down and it looks like a decline of about 40% over a year. https://

I haven't seen that too much, but I do have guardrails. I use Deno and run 'deno lint' as part of the build. It doesn't allow 'any'. Also, I tend to ask planning questions, like "how would you implement th
