Does it yield good results? I found that instead of docs it’s easier just to ask ai to read code. I feel like this is same as comments in code. Become outdated fast

For me this is ultimate test of self driving. Not all these stages 1-5.

I just consider this temp phase because models are dumb and harnesses are not yet there.

When I need code review I should just say “review it”. Model should figure out what plugins, skills, etc. to use.

In final jewelry no. This is why brands like Tiffany are in panic and pivoting to mechanical-watch-like branding, where only inflated price matters.

I did consider but there are 2 issues. 1. Efficiency. Not all roof parts can be exposed to sun. You overpay 2. You need to time it with roof change

Some apps close window. Some apps close tabs. Some apps can close tab or window. Some apps require double press (chrome)

There is very little vendor lock. We can keep using subsidized model until it’s not. Then switch to next subsidized model.

Mitmproxy it to avoid giving model access to secrets.

My assistant lives in ubuntu vm. When I ask it to “check email” it uses imap with password “xyz” and fetches emails.

But my mail password is actually “abc”. Mitmproxy outside of vm replaces all “xyz” to “abc” for outgoing requests. And reverse for incoming

I always buy hardbacks when possible. I don’t care about hardback part much. But I found that paper quality is often better jn hardbacks.

I can’t understand benefits of having ipv6. The only one is public ips but rest is just headache. In my home network I specify disabled v6 everywhere.

What vendor? My understanding is that they replaced one piece of software with similar one that allows them to simplify system and save a lot of money. And looks like they are happy with quality and have a good test coverage. In AI era not everything should be npm dependency or 3rd party. Small things are easier to make in house and tailor to one’s needs.
