I have a similar automated setup: article -> ePub -> Kavita -> OPDS -> e-reader.

That way there’s no friction of getting new articles on my device and I can even sync progress across devices.

“As a result, the AI agent created a GitHub account…” Why do we have captchas again?

Same. When I see Prolog mentioned I’m surprised but also happy. More people should know about it. It’s such a fun language to program in because it forces you to think in relationships and facts.

How is it a “highly isolated environment” if it’s not air gapped?

I wonder how they managed to tell trains to stop.

At work we only have access to claude / kiro. I only use it via cli since I find this to be the most flexible setup as claude can find stuff anywhere, read, write and run programs etc.

> He used to provide really good, thoughtful answers

This hits hard. There’s a senior engineer at my job who is known for well written proposals. Today he shared a doc that had the typical AI formatting, was hard to read, and clearly not his style.

On the other hand, if others use AI to summerize stuff, does it matter anymore?
