> As for my original sync problem? After all of that – decompiling an APK, reverse engineering a binary protocol, writing a BLE exploit script – it turned out the issue was on my phone the whole time. Not the cycling computer. The phone.

I can feel the pain.

I know this is probably not related, but this is right after the release of the AI safety index that praised Anthropic for not using user data… And here I was considering them because they did so much better on that test.

This is something I was trying to implement myself. I am surprised it can be done with just an s3 bucket. I was messing with API Gateways, Lambda functions and DynamoDB tables to support the s3 bucket. It didn't occur to me to implement it client side. I might have stuck a bit too much to the lfs test server implementation. https://github.com/git-lfs/lfs-test-server

I often use `code` command in the cli for a bunch of tasks. Mostly to just open an instance of vscode in a dir I am at. Is there a plan for such a command like that for haystack-ide?

Meanwhile, an alias is easily created for macOS: `alias needle="/Applications/Haystack\ Editor.app/Contents/MacOS/Electron"`

It is built into macOS now, if you start using your camera, you can click the camera-icon in the top bar for more spectacular options. Link to the support page: https://support.apple.com/en-us/105117

Has macOS been this bad in updating, or is this something of recent times?

14.2 was also a disaster for me.
