For what it's worth we (the community still working on Sandstorm) are also about to release an updated version of Sandstorm . But also as someone who definitely will still be runni…

Blueprints shouldn't (if I know anything about Kenton) have access to the Internet/external locations without you granting it permission to.

For what it's worth, we also ran workerd inside a Sandstorm grain and not only did it work, it performed well . In the same way some people run Docker to run a single thing inside …

The key aspect here is "when an action requires approval". i.e. an action which writes . Presumably you are granting the read access when firing this process off in the first place…

This is the middle of Cloudflare's "Agents Week"... and I believe they had an Agents Week last year. We're like... at least a year or two into Cloudflare being in the AI party. ;)

If anyone in leadership asks me to do anything that I find personally concerning, I'll write an email asking them to confirm that's what they want me to do.

But there's an inherent issue if you look at the sunlight maps for this whole drama that northern states and southern states are affected vastly differently: The solution here is t…

You know different states could choose different answers to which time zone to make permanent and most of the drama of the question would go away.

This is why Section 230 is fundamentally wrong. Because the core concept of it assumes reasonable behavior without monetary incentives . Which is great if you're legislating someon…

OpenAI proved even being a nonprofit can be handled away if the money's good enough. PBCs are much weaker in that regard than nonprofits.

This is one of those things a shockingly large number of businesses do not understand. The cloud has been sold as magic, people don't realize you have all of the same needs as you …

For what it's worth I'm not fond of golf courses either.

Any number of companies sell cameras and recorders both on-premise and cloud stored which are managed entirely by the customer. Most security cameras you see on any given building …

Well I try to avoid running things on the cloud myself, but bear in mind the example here: Every major datacenter operator has abandoned their carbon neutral pledge since the AI ra…

I would say there's a huge difference between taking a paycheck from Google because you need it to feed your family, and specifically carving out a role in promoting Google's agend…

GitHub specifically put out a changelog about the stargazers API endpoint to restrict open access because of its use for spam and abuse. I believe this is more about user data than…

Illinois prohibits unlicensed individuals from buying or setting off commercial grade fireworks. People buy them in Indiana. Some of the largest fireworks stores in the country sit…

I'd have to buy a printer tho. The one I have has done its job for a decade and I think I've bought a grand total of one offbrand toner cartridge in that time.

Yeah conceptually this excites me but I decided color printing wasn't worth it at home years ago and haven't regretted it.

I'm not too surprised because it's this court. I'm happy we can take the win for privacy rights. We are very lucky we got this outcome out of this, because at least on its face the…

I mean, this is the textbook definition of whataboutism. =) But I am indeed of the inclination that we should demand the rule of law from Presidents of all parties. Generally speak…

Yes but the Constitution has to actually be followed for it to work. The Supreme Court has no military or police, if the President chooses to disobey them and the military and poli…

So very specifically I've historically read Roberts as a fairly moderate jurist. He has a true romanticism about the neutrality of the court and that it shouldn't be a political bo…

I agree in general, but this is also why I say allowing authoritarianism through technicality. They know by punting to Congress, a body that is completely paralyzed, what the pract…
