I use it, and have been happy with it for the most part. Like sibling, I use it for GPT-5.6-Sol and Opus work, and use their free models (GLM 5.2 for the past few months, trying SWE-2 now).

Wow, so beautiful (and I say this as a tea drinker :-)

You'll find that those goalposts are very movable.

I'll check that out - I loved his "The Code Book: The Science of Secrecy from Ancient Egypt to Quantum Cryptography". Excellent introduction to cryptography.

I really liked her "Uncharted with Hannah Fry" podcast, sorry it ended.

FWIW, Cognition has all the Sonnet/Opus/Fable models, and all the GPT ones, as well as GLM, Kimi, and Gemini.

What "non-house" harnesses have you found to work best?

Interesting to see (roughly!) what percent of each car is engine.

I have this setup, roughly, with UTM rather than orbstack. I think I have it set up safely, curious how you see it has the wrong permissions?

Another way I'm "going slower" is to have the AI implement individual sub-steps of the current task, and review each one. It's slower than having it yolo out the whole thing, but it's much smaller incremental bits t

Yup, just like people!

Nope, not better quality if you don't like the smell of cigarettes.

Please add support for the Windsurf editor as well. Thanks!

Awesome, stealing that!

And they're clearly marked as `unsafe`, so easy to find, which gives them a nice list of issues to address.

I asked Claude to tell me why something was implemented the way it was, and got an excellent response. One data point, would love to hear more examples.

...it came as a surprise that [leaving a Petri dish out with a window open] would end up with interesting [molds] (called [penicillin]). _It was not planned at all_.

Well, to be fair, people cheat by remembering what they did last time. I think the idea here is to run the models from a "clean slate" and see how often they succeed/fail. They are, like people, non-deterministic, so giving

Possibly because they just haven't been able to manufacture enough of them yet to be a viable business to others? They're fighting everyone else for foundry space and time.

But it's pretty cool that LLM bug hunting is pretty cheap... the 1-person projects can do it themselves, don't have to contract out to some huge security company.

by chris_st 5mo ago
Well, maybe not... see Simon Willison's ongoing reporting [0] on all the bug reports for `curl` people are finding with LLMs. Interesting to see them go from "DON'T GIVE US AI SLOP!" to "Wow, lots of actual bugs fou

From the article: > As we noted at its September beta release, a windowed version of Tailscale’s macOS app doesn’t replace the menu bar app, but runs alongside it. It can be pulled up from the Dock or a Spotlight search, and makes a lot

Seconding Maple Mono - it's very nice.

Just out of curiosity, which version of Claude?

Good nerd stories, alas it was cancelled, so no new ones: - Uncharted with Hannah Fry Some great fiction: - Achewillow - horror, but not excessively horrible. - Desert Skies - humor, about folks who work in the first sphere of the afterlife

Turns out the apps in /Application/ run as you. Problem (between keyboard and chair :-) solved.

by chris_st 8mo ago
Honestly, I don't know! I should write an app and see who it runs as. I did an `ls -l /Applications`, and while every file is owned by `root`, none has the `suid` bit set. LM Studio doesn't have an installer. Those often have

Nope - on macOS, almost all apps are just "drag this to wherever (usually your own personal application folder)" and they work perfectly, since they don't need admin privileges. But this one insists on running from /Ap
