How much profit do they deserve exactly? How exactly is it calculated, and who decides how it is calculated? These questions aren't in bad faith, I'm genuinely curious how people with your world view would answer them.

Yes, it is substantially different. A targeted, relentless attack by a state of the art cybersecurity model is far more likely to find obscure vulnerabilities than a traditional automated attack/fuzzer. These models are so much better at finding security holes than anything we've seen before.

Not as smart as everyone thinks it is, maybe, but a model like Fable 5 without safeguards against offensive cyber attacks would be a nightmare. There are millions of improperly secured web applications that, in the wrong hands, would be easily exploited by these models.

"The phrase “Always free” disappeared from the personal password manager page in mid-April."

It's still on the pricing page, albeit not as prominently. "Just getting started? Get basic password management today. Always free."

I ask because I tried the other week to use /remote-control in Claude, and it prompted to connect a Github repo with no local alternative. Things may have changed since then.

My experience today with the new Codex remote control has been that it doesn't connect at all.

Is there a native way to work remotely with Claude/Codex on a local folder or git repo on your main machine without having to connect it to GitHub? For creating apps for personal use I’d rather just keep the files local.

Edit: Running into issues setting it up on Windows. There's no "/remote-control" command in the CLI, so I installed the Windows Codex app. Then I updated the iOS app which now has the "Codex" feature in the sidebar, which should allow remote access to the Windows machine's instance - except it doesn't connect. The iOS app shows my desktop's hostname, so it knows there's an instance there, but refuses to connect. Issues like this would persuade a lot of folks to switch back to Claude.

Even if the hardware is great, the thought of giving Google more data is icky to me, even if logically it makes no difference. I already use Gmail, and Apple collects just as much. Something about Google's image just makes me grossed out in a way Apple does not.

It's down for searches that aren't cached. Searching "Test" works, but searching "asdcjjcwj2jk" doesn't, for example.

A local web UI with text editor and terminal (with Claude/Codex) where you can code apps, edit the code in the browser, view previews (spins up Docker containers) and promote previews to production. An all in one mini SaaS manager.

I’ve tried this and I like it. I’d like a platform like Instant but with the addition of a web based text editor and Claude Code / Codex terminal (provide own subscription/api key) that lets you create and edit (create previews, then promote to production) the app from the same interface, alongside the managed db.
