    The boat itself rocks, but do you see the background changing to indicate the boat is progressing through the environment? I only see that in the 3.1 Pro example. I believe that's …

    Agreed. I think the approach described here is promising. Most of the workflow is deterministic and includes safeguards, but an LLM is invoked in the one case where it's really use…

    I'm sure most folks run Claude without isolation or sandboxing. It's a terrible idea, but even most professional software developers don't think much about security. There many dec…

    Right, that's what I was referring to

    Thanks for the data-based comment! Have you noticed any change in that trend in the past year or two, or is it continuing to get better?

    I agree with most of this, with one important exception: you should have some form of sandboxing in place before running any local AI agent. The easiest way to do that is with .cla…

    I do something similar. I leave up and down arrows alone, but have ctrl+p and ctrl+n behave as you describe.

    I had the same experience as peer comments. I'm on Pixel 8 and Google Fi. When I check for updates, I'm told I'm up-to-date with the last update being over a month old.

    You should see an "unvote" or "undown" link to the right of the timestamp (i.e. the opposite side from where the vote arrows were). It's fairly subtle.

    Yeah, I never send a PR out without reviewing each commit myself and adding GitHub comments when I think it's relevant. Sometimes a PR is clear enough that I don't feel the need to…

    I'd say "good old days" thinking is probably involved, but not the full explanation. Over the past few decades, software has gone from a fairly obscure profession to being seen as …

    For others who didn't know, the -u flag in the OP's command makes it so ripgrep _will_ search files even if they're gitignored

    It isn't nearly as big of an issue as the phone size, but it is still a nuisance. I know there's no chance of it ever coming back, but I'd like it to. I still have a small amount o…

    Yeah, the main news I want to hear is the release of smaller Pixel phone. Secondarily, I'd like the return of the 3.5mm port. I don't care about any of the stuff they actually anno…

    I'd say a large part of the country had the same sentiment about George W Bush. I'm not sure whether that was true or just an act, though. In politics, I think the opposite of Hanl…

    At one point the org I work for used it for internal documentation. They migrated off of it many years ago, though.

    Huh, that's interesting. Mixing indexes and FKs is a major conceptual error. FWIW, I've also asked everyone I've interviewed in the past decade about indexes and FKs. Most folks I'…

    Thanks for making that PR! A regular `brew install git` installs 2.50.1 for me now.
