We could really use a covid-style lockdown for a few years.

Well, yes, but also - you don’t have to pay them. There are open-weights models you can run locally that contain most of that common-wealth knowledge.
Well, these are some kind of lightweight container, no? But without isolating network, or /etc, /proc, /usr, /var or dbus.
I do agree that linux needs a notion of an “app” (isolated, with access only to its config and files you give it, and a small, well-designed set of APIs for interacting with the system). For coding agents, I think a better answer are development containers, because that would be needed to prevent npm/cargo/python build scripts from causing harm anyway.
It’s probably something like “I’ve disabled agent’s
removeFiletool, but LLM figured out that it can use thebashtool, still”.It looks like “AI bad” or “Claude insecure” mantra.

For example LAG would be like selecting a whole column in excel and copy pasting it one row down

Too much list indentation. Cool glow effect

2·11 months agoSmall frutis might mean it is too cold. It could also lack nutrition.
You should think about different conditions (how wet is the soil, have i provided enough nutrients, what was the temperature) and cross-off different causes of this.

Fun fact: in rust and python, they use “selfself” instead of “meme”








I say mantra because there is a large amount of people just hating AI outright, without a grounded reasoning.
Granted, coding agents are insecure by default - they are built to execute remote code - but that does not mean they are generally useless/harmful/bad. I run them in a container, with access to the codebase only.
Also, they hallucinate, produce over-convoluted abstractions, do not know when to reject instead of blindly trying to find a way trough a brick wall.
But also, they can answer questions about gigantic codebases way faster than I could. They can generate tests, find missing test coverage, review code, and many other things.
