<p>The post goes to the point.  Somehow this must be buried in Anthropic's documentation but I miss this kind of back-to-basic posts.  Even if they are LLM-penned.</p>

<p>Even if it was the same --I think it's not-- you'll need a "SIBE operator license", and cannot do it solo, you have to be an employee of an authorized firm (bank, broker or dealer).</p>

<p>I am under the impression that the end game will look a lot like Apple's closed ecosystem.  They are reinventing filesystem permissions, networking security, but most importantly trust on extensions provenance.<p>Probably a good thing but it will remove a lot of the fun.</p>

<p>> eval, send, method_missing, define_method , as a non-rubyist how common are these in real-world code?<p>Quite a lot, that's what allows you to build something like Rails with magic sprinkled all around.  I'm not 100% sure, but probably the untyped JSON ingestion example uses those.<p>Remove that, and you have a very compact and readable language that is less strongly typed than Crystal but less metaprogrammable than official Ruby.  So I think it has quite a lot of potential but time will tell.</p>

I remember MS-DOS"]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>This weekend I installed Hermes on my computer. My M4 Max Studio started spinning its fans as if it wanted to fly, so I went for some cloud hosted models.  The thing works as advertised, but token consumption is through the roof. of course ymmv depending on the LLM you choose.<p>But my main takeaway is that from the security standpoint this is a ticking bomb.  Even under Docker, for these things to be useful there is no going around giving it credentials and permissions that are stored in your computer where they can be accessed by the agent.  So, for the time being, I see Telegram, my computer, the LLM router (OpenRouter) and the LLM server as potential attack/exfiltration surfaces.  Add to that uncontrolled skills/agents from unknown origins.  And to top it off, don't forget that the agent itself can malfunction and, say, remove all your email inboxes by mistake.<p>Fascinating technology but lacking maturity.  One can clearly see why OpenAI hired Clawdbot's creator.  The company that manages to build an enterprise-ready platform around this wins the game.</p>

<p>In hindsight, this sounds more reasonable in 2026 where graphical documentation is taken for granted.  In those days I think anyone would have spooled the .ps to their nearest laser printer and begin building something quickly with it just to check the looks.<p>I remember following a "build your own text windowing system" tutorial printed in a hcontinous paper back then</p>

<p>Thanks for your answer, I understand you're correct.  Also, as another counterargument, if a photon is scattered... is it the same photon or a different one? Your perspective on energy instead of particles is better.</p>

<p>Back in the day, in Operating System Design class I dared to suggest the teacher that for some obscure inode related problem the system should ask the user what to do.<p>His answer was "We are designing an operating system, not a messaging solution".<p>This was circa 30 years ago of course, and the essence and complexity of what an OS is today is different, but the idea still resonates in my head every time macOS deploys one of these prompts at me.</p>

<p>Light from the sun that is reaching us now escaped the surface of the sun 8 minutes ago, yes.<p>But photons are generated in the core through nuclear reactions, where they take their sweet amount of thousands of years bouncing around until they get out.</p>
