<p>Or a nihilist, or a fatalist, or a pessimist, or an antinatalist, or a realist.<p>Don't go putting people into boxes. That's the path of persecution.<p>You have the inalienable right to say what you want on a plane, limited by what the government is allowed to prosecute. In a confined space, that is a bit riskier. That's a solely personal choice - no laws are being broken. The Captain has the right to ask you to conform or leave, but that's a separate issue.<p>People are being overly sensitive. A wifi name is not a protest. It does not disturb personal privacy and tranquility. It's about as offensive as an article titled "We’re All Gonna Die!" from your favorite news outlet - which by the way, is not an uncommon headline.<p>What if my wifi name was "peanut butter for all!" but unbeknownst to me and by some rare cosmic coincidence everyone on the plane was deathly allergic to peanut butter. Does that make me a terrorist? No! But I swear someone would try to drag me through decades of litigation regardless. These people seem to have divorced words and meanings from the mechanics of how the world works. Like, "this piece of paper says you shouldn't say this, so off with your head".</p>

<p>How was Amandla even identified? Stingray at the protest? Then how was the phone number linked to Google? Facial recognition at the protest? I guess his details are on file under terms of the visa? So then the government simply asks Google for all details on the individual by name? Either is pretty disturbing.</p>

<p>This is a bit odd, because it was going to start off as an Ask, and now its a hybrid Show/Ask.<p>The ask being, how in the world do I make use of Codex's proxy networking? I wanted Codex to have access to local services (not MCP servers) running outside its bubblewrap. The default config.toml file ships with this:<p><pre><code>  [permissions.network]
  # enabled = true
  # proxy_url = "http://127.0.0.1:43128"
  # admin_url = "http://127.0.0.1:43129"
  # enable_socks5 = false
  # socks_url = "http://127.0.0.1:43130"
  # enable_socks5_udp = false
  # allow_upstream_proxy = false
  # dangerously_allow_non_loopback_proxy = false
  # dangerously_allow_non_loopback_admin = false
  # dangerously_allow_all_unix_sockets = false
  # mode = "limited"                           # limited | full
  # allowed_domains = ["api.openai.com"]
  # denied_domains = ["example.com"]
  # allow_unix_sockets = ["/var/run/docker.sock"]
  # allow_local_binding = false
</code></pre>
I couldn't get it to work, so I downloaded Codex's source code and pointed Codex at it, but after a few hours it hadn't fared any better. I was thinking about asking here because nowhere else is 1000% all-in on AI, but for such a simple question I decided to concurrently try building my own network container... Which was a pain in the butt. First I proxied local traffic, forgetting that codex needs openai.com/chatgpt.com to work. Then I ran into systemd-resolved binding :53 SO_BINDTODEVICE, likely a symptom of I-think-I-know-best-itis, so I couldn't redirect DNS. There were lots of other paper-cuts, but a week later I consider this a really interesting deep-dive into Linux networking.<p>Anyway what I have here [1] is somewhat of a one-off, but also a really useful guide to building a network namespace container. Hopefully it'll be a useful roadmap for others.<p>1. https://gist.github.com/orbisvicis/347fb8439b658fd6161486f3de1e1ea0</p>

<p>That's interesting. So you want to train language, linguistic reasoning, and tool use, but otherwise strip out all knowledge in lieu of a massive context? Just grade they model on how well it can access local information, perhaps also run tools?</p>

<p>What is it like purchasing consumer goods from the EU under the new 10% section 122 rates? Previously I could have expected 25% tariffs + UPS/govt fees equivalent to another 40%. But hearing the horrors of shippers (UPS, FedEx, DHL) charging import fees equivalent to 1000% with no recourse to refuse the shipment and recoup costs, I never pulled the trigger. Has anything changed with the section 122 rates, especially considering the $800 de minimus exception won't be reinstated?</p>

<p>It's still possible for two commits to conflict only semantically, one obsoleting the other. Merging both would lead to dead code so perhaps stricter (line-base or ast-based) conflicts would be preferable.</p>
