Once you get the compartmentalization working well, and “all” of the vulnerabilities are out of it too, of course…

But even then you’ll have users putting things in the same compartment for convenience, rather than leaving them properly sequestered.

Wouldn’t that be wild? I don’t know that the Naomi version runs on it yet, but that would probably be a decent place to start.

At least as a reference implementation for most of the engine!

Definitely sounds like clickbait, but this is a genuine problem I've been facing on my more complex projects. I was trying to work around it by making lots of .md files that contain context for various components of the app, as well as ones that "statefully" represent our steps along larger refactors, allowing things to persist across sessions. But that requires the hygiene/discipline of remembering to have the model update those.

Now… how much of our tiny context window does this eat up? And what if we're working on something very different from the previous tasks; might that irrelevant context risk confusing the model?

Also, how does this work if I work on multiple projects across different directories? Will it know to not get those mixed up?

Wanting to "live" in a Lambo-shaped server rack is genuinely cute, ha.

New comment by syndeo in "Apple: SSH and FileVault"

syndeo — Thu, 18 Sep 2025 20:32:50 +0000

>When FileVault is enabled, the data volume is locked and unavailable during and after booting, until an account has been authenticated using a password. The macOS version of OpenSSH stores all of its configuration files, both system-wide and per-account, in the data volume. Therefore, the usually configured authentication methods and shell access are not available during this time. However, when Remote Login is enabled, it is possible to perform password authentication using SSH even in this situation. This can be used to unlock the data volume remotely over the network. However, it does not immediately permit an SSH session. Instead, once the data volume has been unlocked using this method, macOS will disconnect SSH briefly while it completes mounting the data volume and starting the remaining services dependent on it. Thereafter, SSH (and other enabled services) are fully available.

Now THAT is a welcome change!

Heh, reminds me of those boxes Sun used to make that only ran Java. (I don’t know how far down Java actually went; perhaps it was Solaris for the lower layers now that I think about it…)

Indeed. I scrolled down the home page as the news broke. It was rampant.

Even on Imgur today, the front page is celebratory, and featuring pretty blatant calls for further violence such as this: https://imgur.com/gallery/history-repeats-over-again-again-Z...

Thank you for the quick fix! Your steps worked perfectly.

In any case, I'd like to add that I'm hoping an ACP adapter for OpenAI Codex is in the works; I've grown pretty fond of GPT-5, and would like to be able to tap into my existing ChatGPT Plus subscription; I'd rather not use API pricing at the moment. I prefer using Claude Code vs directly hitting the Anthropic API for the same reason.

Heck, an ACP adapter for Cursor CLI (itself based on Gemini CLI, right?) would even be useful; as that would also let me pick GPT-5.

True, but at least in prison you're (usually) fed… which may NOT be the case if you're fired from your job, put on a list, and blocked from the industry.

Claude tried to hard-reset a git repo for me once, without first verifying if the only changes present were the ones that it itself had added.

You seem to be getting downvoted, but I have to agree. I put it in my rules to ask me for confirmation before going down alternate paths like this, that it's critically important to not "give up" and undo its changes without first making a case to me about why it thinks it ought to do so.

So far, at least, that seems to help.

I've heard a blind eye is turned to React Native code changes, as long as it's not something drastic (or outright malicious like Epic).

Wow. I would've absolutely done that had I known about it. (I was in high school in the very late 2000s/early 2010s, so perhaps I was already too late, but yeah, wow.)

Thanks for that link though, a commenter says the vids are still there. (I'm too busy learning Chinese at this point though, I'm afraid!)

This. Exactly this.

As a web dev, I happen to love some of the tech advancements in Chromium, and as a nerd, I'd be thrilled to see it on iOS, just for the fun technical novelty of it all. But allowing it on iOS will downright kill WebKit, as web devs will just code for Chrome (as they already do). The floodgates will be opened.

As a user, I value battery life, smooth performance, and system integration (technically and visually). It's great to use an Apple browser on an Apple OS, just as it is nice to use Chrome on Android—everything fits together.

Gosh, I miss the pre-Blink days when WebKit was able to benefit from Chromium, but alas…
