I think that's a different kind of local-first. More like "self-hosted first".

Even if your web-server is down or you don't have a network connection you can still use Actual as a PWA and later sync to the server when you're back online.

When I tried out Firefly III that wasn't really how it worked, it was more of a traditional php CRUD application.

Went through the same Firefly III -> Actual Budget journey.

Actual is really nice and the local-first nature is really neat.

Player 2 probably also hates that he can't switch weapons unlike Player 1.

I think lying to investors is essentially what she was convicted of. You can make the argument that Musk believes what he says. Or you can say that he stayed clear of methods that make malice very obvious like forging documents.

But I don't think the comparison is completely far fetched. Let's take stuff like his "funding secured" tweet, the "2016 autopilot promo video", his "Solar Roof" stunt do come a little close to outright lying to investors for my taste. Not quite the level of forging documents, but pretty dishonest.

That's part of it, but if you lived through months of news about where milk is unsafe and how to wash your vegetables and how much iodine to take. You'd maybe think differently too.

All the "oh, but it's different now, it's really safe" implies that the scientist at the time of the Chernobyl disaster didn't give assurance that it's totally safe either.

I am in favor of nuclear power and think that closing the plants was a huge mistake, but it's not somehow fully irrational to opose nuclear power. Not everyone has the hubris of thinking they can evaluate the risks when being shown some data. Nor can they distinguish the difference between "the experts then said it's safe" and "the experts now say it's safe".

Top comment doesn't say it's better. Just says it's a "workhorse".

The article itself doesn't say "it's better", basically just says "in this one specific benchmark it beat Claude with Claude code". Mind you with multimodality it Opus still beat GLM 5.2 very handily in that same benchmark.

I can't find any contradiction and I don't see anyone lying directly. At most they lead you to imply false things, but they're not untrue at a literal reading.

If you did "web stuff" in the early 2000s (like 2005-2010). You'd probably know who he is. He did Ruby on Rails, a backend web framework.

But that was also very Start-up and America focussed. So if you did web dev in some other country and didn't have colleagues who were into that culture you still might've missed the name.

Well maybe we shouldn't then? Before LLMs some not just clueless but also malicious rando could've send a PR too. And the maintainers might've gotten burned out any and just said f-it and merged stuff randomly. I don't see how AI changed the calculation here much.

Disabling ssh alternate channels will make it uncomfortable enough for most people to be a deterrant. But if you require multiple ssh channels for different reasons that won't be a solution for you.

He asked for a steel-man, you were the one to provide the straw-man.

Whoa there, am I missing something, why so aggressive and immediately with the ad homs?

I think by that logic dangerously-skip-permissions and openclaw should've never been a thing. I agree that people use them too liberally, but I think at some point you have to find a balance between systemic safety risks and individual freedom.

Are you being sincere? This is one layer of irony too much for my brain to comprehend.

The person you're replying to is making a joke about OpenAI shutting down Sora their video generation "social media" app recently.

Well it seems like whatever's on that page is blocked by the corporate proxy malware scanner I'm currently behind.

Is that in addition to mainframes or for completely replacing them?

When initially opening the page it had broken colors in light mode. For anyone else encountering it: switch to dark mode and then back to light mode to fix it.
