Thank you. I’m constantly baffled by the terrible quality of Logitech’s software. Such great hardware and such horrible software. Very much needed an oss alternative.

This is very cool. Do you have any advice on papers to read to understand the details of search based compilation a bit more?

I like the idea of llms collaborating like this a lot; planning, critiquing, verifying, coding etc. I think that’s a very general and powerful approach. How did you end up with that structure and what did you try first? What are the downsides? How do the component agents communicate, just json?

Does it have FLAC support (or other high res audio formats)?

Sadism for some, sure. For most IDF personnel I guess it’s more about “operational expediency”: if the population is terrified they’ll listen to your evacuation orders and show up to your aid distribution/killing fields on time. Finding terrorists one by one is hard work; tossing a bomb on a whole building is quicker and safer.

Terror is just a tool in the end.

This is the kind of comment that at first glance seems measured and well-phrased. I’m sure it depicts a common situation in journalism too, after all they’re just humans like the rest of us.

The problem here is the enormity of what is actually going on in Gaza: a slaughter and a terror campaign we haven’t seen the likes of since Pol Pot. It is not two sides in disagreement, each jostling for attention on roughly equal terms, each somewhat right and somewhat wrong. Two years in, we’re well beyond that and the only thing that matters is that one side is sadistically slaughtering the other and the world is pretending it’s not happening.

The Palestinian dead have names too, and it doesn’t take much to verify them. Beyond the deaths, the hostages taken by both sides are exactly that: hostages. Why do you suggest Palestinian prisoners are not? What makes you think anything akin to “due process” is happening in Gaza right now?

Why do you need pictures of camp inmates to believe that the Gulag was an integral part of the system?

And (Nial?) Ferguson seems to be alive and well and speaking his mind freely, like wut? Was he de-banked recently?

Isn’t it a bit sad to think that trips like these are pretty much impossible to make these days? The number of countries I would consider safe to live in and raise my children in is much lower today than it was in the seventies. On that metric, things have only gone in the wrong direction for the duration of my life.

Why is this provided for free?

CI/CD workflows most likely. And devshops that have standadised on docker containers for their stacks (mac-based devs in such places suffer a fair amount of papercuts today). Then I guess there are people that are very security minded that might want to run all userland executables in containers (although this project here is not for them I'd say).

So what would be the reasons to run pg as a unikernel? To get max performance on bare metal? Smaller attack surface? Or?

If a government agency issues a secret warrant, doesn’t that imply rsync.net has to provide a valid canary at the right time as well? I don’t get how this is useful.

What is the business model for this? The enterprise addons?

...and SGX, which is very interesting and a choice worthy of scrutiny imo.
