It's a joke on the actual advert, which was, "You wouldn't steal a car".

Thanks, you've correctly identified the issue, although I wouldn't call it a problem with "my" OS unless it's my configuration.

I just wanted to read the source locally. I know things are getting worse by the month for developers on Windows because other developers are increasingly not giving a shit to support it, but it's odd to have a repo that doesn't even clone on windows.

Not building is common, not passing tests even if it builds is extremely common, but not even cloning is a new one.

I guess eventually I'll give up and switch to linux, but I'm still paid to work on Windows. I guess maybe it's finally time to look into a real dev-container setup for this kind of thing and I can do this all a bit more securely too.

I tried to run:

    git clone https://tangled.org/tangled.org/core 

And it failed?

    Cloning into 'core'...

It's not a great look when the very first thing I'd want to try to do:

    1. Redirects from .org to .sh suspiciously
    2.  falls over.

I now have to try to work out whether that other domain is deliberate or compromised.

Hot vs Cold wallets are a social construct. People talk about wallets being "online" or "offline" but if the keys are compromised there's no such thing.

"Ironic" bad behaviour is still just bad behaviour.

What's even more surprising is that it can be given a grafana API key and reason about bugs from the hints of patterns in the logs even with pretty sketchy and inconsistent logging in places.

It can then raise, investigate and resolve those problems while also patching up and rationalising logging to improve future work.

The AI deniers have their heads in the sands at this point and are demonstrating they simply haven't tried a modern agent. ( Or perhaps are forced onto copilot? )

Yet the HN submission UI has a box, and if you write in it, it gets posted as comment.

It was being discussed on here hours prior to the Chainguard release.

Yes, the mourning for the company that made KOTOR and NWN was done years ago, it's effectively a completely different company now that's shutting down.

Faster feedback loops almost always deliver improvements elsewhere.

AI is ruthlessly effective at finding vulnerabilities.

Things will only meaningfully change when insurance companies stop paying out when reasonable steps weren't taken by companies to protect themselves.

I know a few entrepreneurs and they all independently started building these kind of factories around the same time, so this is definitely not a straw-man.

I'd say give it another couple of months and you won't be able to move for announcements about this kind of thing.

The "sales pitch" is that factories are to agents what agents were to models; Personally I'm not convinced we need an extra automation layer, with all the downsides that come with even more disconnection from the product being built, but some people are starting to swear by them.

When I went to a bank recently, I discovered my local high street "bank" branch is now mostly just internet kiosks with an under-trained and probably underpaid assistant there between the handful of kiosks to help people log on to it.

It is nothing like the experience of growing up in the early 90's and what banks were then.

Consider that everyone did their banking in person and people dealt with a lot of cheques. Oh, and banks didn't tend to open at weekends, you had to find time during the week.

There was a need for a lot of tellers, and banks were incredibly busy places.

"99% closed" is obviously hyperbole, especially counting by branch, but if you were to count by tellers or by people visiting their bank, I could well believe it.
