I've been getting into emacs somewhat recently and really enjoying it so far, though I do worry a bit about how much it can do and whether it will lead to any sort of "oops, you opened a project that had a thing that…
I'll be very interested to read any followups about the part you described at the end about getting it to do more "teaching," both from the perspective of how we can use this to help newer devs out but also from the…
Yeah I don't entirely follow why having had it generate an integration test you'd just throw it away afterwards.
Very cool! I love reading about details like this.
I'll definitely check both of these out! I've been working on a design doc with my assumptions, threat model, and required security controls for an agent sandbox so that I can use it as a baseline when comparing…
Just a few days ago there was an article about how they lost the bluebird logo and the word "tweet," so it seems possible!
Between this and the nix/guix stuff, Farid is definitely becoming one of my favourite mad computer scientist bloggers, right up there with Justine. (Or computer mad scientist? Whatever (mad scientist) && (computer…
The way I've done it has been when there's a longer task, I give it a markdown document that has a plan with numbered steps, and then for each step start a fresh context window and tell it to update that doc as it goes…
I always wonder about the choice of hjkl, because don't people normally rest their hands one row to the left, on jkl;?
I was just looking at conductor and was not very jazzed about the fact that it was running the agents directly on the host. Being able to launch from a terminal means this one can (hopefully) run from inside the…
I think generally harnesses have this. In claude code it's `"preferredNotifChannel": "terminal_bell"` in the settings.json, pi and opencode looks like you have to either add a hook yourself somewhere or use an extension.
Hmm, where have I seen a story before where a kid wants their parents to read the same book over and over. I can't quite put my finger on it...
It definitely seems brutal, but when I stop and think about it it's actually probably more humane for the prey than getting eaten alive, right?
Hell, I grew up with English as my first language and I still learned a lot of obscure vocabulary from magic! It's definitely not so good these days, but a format called premodern is getting more popular. You may find…
Homestuck is finally happening?
Alive 2007 is a bit late to be the 90s though
Lock picking is great! Many security conferences will have a "lockpick village" where there are just a bunch of locks, lockpicks, and volunteers teaching people how to do it.
This looks really promising, I am curious about the choice to use containers as the isolation layer though. If the goal is to treat agents as untrusted and isolate them fully I feel like microVMs would be a better…
> The courts decided that rap records had to clear every single sample, thereby basically destroying the art form, but now you can literally feed every book into a blender, piece another book together out of the pieces,…
This sounds fascinating, if you ever write more about it I'd love to read it!
Last rc is 2025 but there are at least still new commits (one from 3 hours ago)
> IMO the issue is not propaganda at all, but real physical problems that are not being addressed. I don't think those are mutually exclusive. There can be real problems, and propaganda can magnify those and lead people…
It was the same when I graduated 6 years ago. We had projects to test our ability to use tools and such, and I guess in that context LLMs might be a concern. But exams were pencil and paper only.
There's also a sex toy
You haven't been getting the checks? Bring that up at our next secret cabal meeting.
