I would love to believe it, sounds really amazing, but it also can be interpreted as a company who needed good marketing for their models security capabilities after their competition's model had it's moment to shine in the security sphere.

Any business that has strict guidelines won't touch this. As there's no real guarantee, and more importantly they have given themselves an out.

Whilst I like fastmail as a product, personally I would have waited to get everything in the EU before I launched this, as you've now got to relaunch it once you solve that last mile problem. Which is hard and costly.

as for workflows, its all skills/agents based, here's my dotagents folder

But I agree with you, it's biggest weakness is that for a real long time the tagline of it was "there are many harnesses, this one is MINE" (That being Mario's)

I have a lot of respect for Mario and his team, but there's things like you've pointed out that deviate from standards, and other issues that I've seen get posted, only to get knocked down by the team as WON'T FIX because, even though the new owners changed the tagline from MINE to YOURS... It's still very much Mario's.

I do like opinionated things. Truly. But I'm also of the opinion that standards exist for a reason.

That said. I like Pi so much that it's my daily driver, and I've created an ecosystem of plugins to do everything I want, having them all tie together and communicate through the shared bus. Pi is really a good harness.

It's just, well. I don't agree with some of the opinions.

If I'm going to add another thing here... Whilst you cannot get everything you need from the openAI API spec, you can get a surprising amount to get a model config. That said. Versions of Pi are still shipping with model configs for certain inference providers. I do hope that gets decoupled at some stage. I see the groundwork being laid.

So the work is being done in the right direction. I applaud the team but I do get the feeling that a lot of this is because people want to contribute, but the team really wants to hand craft this. And that's great

Whilst I can take meds to make things better for anxiety, I will never be able to take meds to understand subtext or subtle facial expressions. It can take me weeks to realise that someone meant the opposite. There's no meds that could fix that.... Or if there is. Wow! I'd take it.

Right now I'm on anti anxiety drugs, which whilst mostly affective, have sided effects that kind of suck. I'm lucky my wife and daughter love me very much, and I've always been someone who wanted to push myself a little further to get outside or do new things.. mostly because my daughter is also autistic and I want to be a good example of "small steps" ... But it was so hard with no medication that I eventually had a full blown autistic burnout, where therapy, time off work, and eventually medication helped me get back to work.

Yes I want society to be more accommodating to us, but that doesn't stop the multitude of micro-aggressions I suffer daily just trying to navigate life, relationships, work, etc. If something could help remove those, I'd be forever grateful.

I do not however want the way my mind works to change.

Keep the positive, remove or dull the negative.

The problem with your example, is that any government body can randomly test the products from a company, and test for compliance. The government can also measure the CFCs in the atmosphere and look for a decrease year over year.

Right now, the Aus government isn't fining the companies, hopefully they will.

What I'm asking for, is a mandated minimum set of controls. Which is far better than the sparse/spotty/nonexistent controls we have now.

So far it's working fine, I expect that to change in the future. But it's also both the carrot and the stick at the moment.

As for creating parent accounts themselves. Imagine you've got a kid, you've created an account for you and the kid.. you have stats, data, usage etc. And suddenly the kids on their device all day, but you see nothing. That's how you know.

Will the kid find a way around it. Probably.. I expect them too. But it's still a hell of a lot better than what we have. Because it puts more control and visibility in the hands of the parents than it does the state and people like Peter Thiel.

Will there be idiot parents who just don't care. For sure. But thats already happening. You can't stop that.

"Imagine you're a teenager, and your parents and government tell you to not do something... What will happen?"

The answer is of course that they keep doing it anyhow. But hide it.

As an Aussie, and a parent. What I wanted was that the government mandate that in order for your website or app to launch in Australia, that if you want to allow kids between certain ages on the website/app. Then you need to have robust parental controls. Create family accounts where you can link parents and children, share whatever tracking/tracing you have with said parents and make it as good as you can. Mandate specific minimum controls based on what kind of type of app/website it is.

Put the control in the hands of the parents, and not this stupid one size fits all approach.

All Linux is Linux.

But I agree, wrapping that up into a single result.. you lose all the nuance, it's just bragging rights.

It's honestly embarrassing to call this open source.

Pi on the other hand, whilst they have their own unique issues with PRs, if you came to them with a genuine problem, or fix, they seem to accept it.

Now I point back to those issues you pointed out, all have PRs... Unmerged. Same with the infinite depth subagent calling.
