I don't think there can be tool calls inside the obfuscated reasoning blocks. I mean, in order for those function calls to be evaluated client-side, that thinking stream would have to be decrypted on the client side at some point, which would defeat the purpose of obfuscating it the way they do.

If you mean the function calls might happen server side, there is nothing preventing the server from doing it and hiding it from you as long as you are using an API for inference.

The Euro-Office project is the most interesting part of this announcement to me.

Is handwriting really that important now that you can cheaply print anything?

What do you use for calendar and tasks hosting?

I'm on a similar journey and I use Radicale.

What about the cybersecurity aspect of bespoke software?

A cybersecurity research company can now spend a small fortune on finding zero days in iOS because of the amount of people that use it. It basically guarantees there will be clients like government agencies willing to pay through the nose for the exploits.

Software made for one might disrupt this business model.

Do you have a way to use voice on your smartphone?

I use a whisper wrapper (also "built for one") for Windows and connect through SSH but it only works well enough because of the laptop's ARC graphics card. I wish I could do that when connecting to SSH from my smartphone.

>these thing just take a while

Oh, so people might be forced to give back the AI earnings? Should I be worried about the last year's capital gains on my portfolio?

New comment by paweladamczuk in "Copilot edited an ad into my PR"

paweladamczuk — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 07:26:54 +0000

I was recently running Copilot CLI in a sandbox on autopilot mode and it kept overriding git config to put only "GitHub Copilot" as commit author instead of my name. Strongly worded instructions weren't helping, I had to resort to the permission system to change this behavior.

I wonder if this is consistent with their terms of service. I mean, maybe they DO take all the responsibility for the code I generate and push in this manner?

I also vibe coded my own version of this. Funny to see how many people did that.

Mine was only tested on an Arc GPU (the acceleration works nicely through Vulkan). It hooks into Win32 API and simulates key presses so it works in various non-obvious contexts.

There was a presentation here a while back (last year) about how to avoid getting ignored or played otherwise when submitting those requests. Sadly I cannot find it, but maybe someone else has the link?

Does anyone know how open the software and hardware of this thing will be? The announcement doesn't give me a lot of hope.

This article and the articles linked in it only provide a selection of works entering public domain in 2026. Does anyone know of a database or list of works so that I can see all of them? Other than the Wikipedia article that only has a list of names.

How do we (or Kagi) know which ones are "SEO sites"? Is there some filter list or other method to determine that?

Beets with this flag works relatively well for me when wrapped in a shell script, but I have spent a lot of effort trying to make it actually non-interactive.

I'm still not totally sure I got all the certainty thresholds right, I still sometimes get unexpected behavior when using Beets this way, so I agree that the non-interactive experience is lacking.

Internet in its current form, where I can theoretically ping any web server on earth from my bedroom, doesn't seem sustainable. I think it will have to end at some point.

I can't fully articulate it but I feel like there is some game theory aspect of the current design that's just not compatible with the reality.

New comment by paweladamczuk in "State-based vs Signal-based rendering"

paweladamczuk — Mon, 20 Oct 2025 19:15:48 +0000

My mind immediately jumped to the recent Chat Control drama after reading the title.

One way I frame such issues in my mind is that it's about who has control (and how much) over what is rendered and when on the screen I carry in my pocket. To some extent it is now Signal when I use the app. One day it might be my State instead.

New comment by paweladamczuk in "Apple M5 chip"

paweladamczuk — Wed, 15 Oct 2025 19:44:47 +0000

I remember using my first Apple product years ago, it was an iPod touch 4th gen. The quality of the software on that thing was in a completely different league compared to anything I had used before.

I also installed the iOS 26 update recently. The competitive advantage of software polish that Apple had seems totally gone.

Add to that bugs in iCloud, AirDrop... I don't think I will be buying any more Apple devices for myself.
