I believe it's a one time pairing code, not each print. FWIW I like the design.

I've been meaning to investigate Nitro Enclaves[1] for exactly this but haven't made the time yet. Have you looked into them and found them lacking?

Can you expand on what was RC? Was the compute off device?

It's patching the binary in memory, so the binary patch would be architecture dependent. The existing one is only x86_64, but with an updated payload, it would work on arm.

The point of backtesting is to allow you to do what you want to do with a veneer of being data driven.

How are you crafting the stamps? 3d printing them so they're a negligible cost?

there's no videos of it cleaning really dirty floors for the simple reason it doesn't work like that. Cleaning robots wage a war of attrition where they can clean at a slightly faster pace then you dirty it. If it's really dirty, it takes awhile for it to actually clean the mess, but it cleans daily and eventually it gets it clean.

I would also say that cyclones don't violate the rule. They end up adding the dirt to a container of some sort and I would not consider that container clean.

it ships with a SKILL.md file, so if they're trying to enable AI to use it, it's a good bet that they used AI to build it.

When I looked at OpenSnitch (years ago), it didn't support running headless on a server. Am I mistaken about this, or has it changed?

The slider disappearing when sliding between extremes is very confusing. I think the silver should be the only thing displayed and remove the buttons entirely.

I use CC at work, so I haven't explored other options. Is there a better one to use locally? I presumed they were all going to be pretty similar.

I suspect that China might be Russia's Ukraine offramp. If Russia decides to pull out, China can come in and work as a negotiator and win brownie points with the EU. I could see them being able to continue working with both Russia and the EU in that future.

lm studio offers an Anthropic compatible local endpoint, so you can point Claude code at it and it'll use your local model for it's requests, however, I've had a lot of problems with LM Studio and Claude code losing it's place. It'll think for awhile, come up with a plan, start to do it and then just halt in the middle. I'll ask it to continue and it'll do a small change and get stuck again.

Using ollama's api doesn't have the same issue, so I've stuck to using ollama for local development work.

I'm starting to believe that China isn't going to make the move. It's winning the hearts and minds of the rest of the world and will be able to leverage its growing soft power well beyond what Taiwan would provide. I just don't see them giving up the position the US has abandoned.

The truth tables are way too hard for me. I need time to think and the 10 seconds is way too fast. If this is intended to be a teaching resource, avoid timers IMHO. It needlessly excludes people.
