The DX above from @simonw seems perfectly fine.

Let the user play with the app and after they exit the profile should contain all of the access attempts in a human readable format that's editable by the developer.

There might be many access attempts to folders in one directory, e.g.:

~/Documents/...

So instead of having a massive list of files it should be easy for developers to edit the profile to say, "Allow everything there", e.g. ~/Documents/*

I think Facebook gets the credit there.

This is one of the first high-performing fully open weight American models to my knowledge. Congrats! (insert American flag here)

The `--build-profile` / `--profile` thing is a good idea, but typically you'd want to just save all of the access that the program does without prompting.

Programs will access many files and directories on startup, and it would be extremely tedious to have to manually approve each one. So you'd auto-approve all and save them to the profile. This is TOFU principles applied to sandboxing. The assumption being that "this first time I run it naked, it's unlikely to do anything malicious, let me enforce that behavior for the future."

Apparently they're volunteers with a stipend. I've updated the post to remove "to be paid" as I don't quite get what the difference is and it seems to be confusing not only me.

Using old compromised certificates is a legitimate MITM attack vector.

> Once payment enters the story opportunists and exploitation enters the chat too.

It turns out that it's quite helpful to be able to afford the cost of room & board, food, and utilities as part of being a helpful companion to others. The fellow I spoke with said the pay wasn't much, so like teachers, most of the people who take these important benevolent jobs aren't doing it for the money. If they were in it for the money they'd be working for Facebook.

Thanks for mentioning Lobster. This guy seems to have learned many lessons of language simplification and design. Looks like a promising language and I wish it success.

That is talking about battery life, not AI tasks. Footnote 53, where it says, "Up to 18 hours battery life":

No I'm talking about who is responsible for all of this. You're allowed to misunderstand (as you did here), you're allowed to downvote (as they do to me), you're allowed to lie, and allowed to be mistaken. But truth is nowhere to be found on Hacker News on this subject. There can be a million comments. All of them varying degrees of wrong or closer to the money and then removed.

An honest discussion about this cannot be had on this site, it's kinda funny how pointless all the comments are here. Yours is the closest anyone is allowed to get and I wonder if yours will stay up.

I'm not debating whether or not they're being courageous. I'm referring to self-preservation, this is a natural instinct that should be in all people. Have you seen T2? District 9? The Matrix? And a few others I could mention.

Who cares whether the "company" survives? I've seen this movie. A few of them in fact. We're on the chopping block here, lol.
