Yes I think the satire is brilliant. It really does feel like just another saas.

It's funny how many people here like it. Well it doesn't surprise me since the websites being upvoted here from startups look like this too.

Personally I barf when I come across a website that looks like this and close it immediately. It's about as appealing as stock images. I also immediately think that this is for a SAAS that will be bog-slow, expensive and only integrates with github.

I sandbox all my utilities and programs in case some compromised third-party dependency decides to run lose. It's a way to limit the blast radius.

It's far far harder to do something exploits like this in elm because effects are tagged. There are solutions out there.

No one is trying to argue that OS models are better than Opus 4.7. It's simply that they're good enough and cheaper.

I've been doing my work with OpenCode Go, with Kimi2.6. It is not as good as Claude Opus, but it's good enough to get the job done, and I never run out of tokens.

I used it to track my sleep when I had insomnia. But it has since become ewaste when they started charging for a subscription.

AI companies keep repeating that AI will replace white-collar work, and that what they're building is a potential doomsday device. How did they expect graduates to react? Cheer them on? Feel hopeful?

I imagine it'd be more impactful to add attestations to cameras so one can validate that X photo came from Y camera.

I've heard so many different takes on this. Where did you get this information?

Why do signatures/hashes/app-store verification become obsolete with a capability-based system?

If a binary has the capability to withdraw money from my account, I don't want that capability given to just any binary.

To me part of using E2EE is not because I have something to hide but because I have friends who work in human rights that do have something to hide.

I think of it not as a consumer feature but rather quite foundational for a working democracy.

This kind of talk frightens me. Not because I don't think its what we need to do, but because then US will find an excuse to invade or interfere.

With a thin layer of tooling, you could probably build a zfs CVS very easily. There's zfs send and each version is available under .zfs so you could use the patch/diff tool to see different versions and restore to older versions.

I recently switched from Claude to Opencode Go + pi.dev. It has Deepseek v4 pro along with Kimi K2.6, and it's performing quite well for basic coding, without hitting any limits.

"Influencing our politics" is broad, but I do think foreigners should be allowed to organize strikes, or go to political rallies without risk of being deported.
