So the concern is that the agent will discover a novel VM escape, exploit it and take control of your whole machine instead of working on its prompted task? That seems rather far f…

Why are 3rd party hosted VMs safer than your own?

Definitionally not? "Microblogs, for example on Twitter..." https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/microblo... "Some popular social networks such as X (formerly Twitte…

Honestly, I don't really care that much. The project looks like fun, and I wish you the best with it, but I don't really post on microblogging platforms myself. I just wanted to gi…

Sure, but I don't care that much. It is a Show HN, so I was giving feedback.

For perspective: you just commented 404 chars. Your first paragraph alone was 346. My comment on the about page was that it needed more than 280 chars to communicate what the app i…

But clearly not the microbloggers on twitter/x, Bluesky, etc, who use the patterns I mentioned.

A limit that worked well for who? Almost every twitter/x post submitted to HN has people labelling their posts as "X of Y" threads, using images as text, or using pro account posts…

The 280 char limit seems arbitrary, given you cant even keep the about page within that limit: https://textlog.cc/about If you are going to limit it to short posts, maybe the lengt…

I absolutely loved Burn::Cycle on the Philips CDi, where it was the definitive version (apparently the visuals were much better than the PC): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zoLw7S…

How does "shooting" on 70mm relate to the projection of the 70mm? I have absolutely no idea how any of this works, but are there no CGI effects in the movie or how does the CGI get…

> Marble makes tools visible and easy to select for each task Isn't that what current agents already do? e.g. codex: https://ibb.co/Y71qJJZb

Of course - its only a few years old :) But I think the biggest problem is that no-one directly tells you how to use the technology effectively. Mostly because no-one really knows,…

I did something similar in 2020 when we constructed our sauna/guesthouse. Used a program called "LiveHome3D" to build out how what we were looking for, then exported as an OBJ and …

Few pointers: Dont try and handle the entire project in context. Use a well structured filesystem layout for your code with a few lines in an AGENTS.md describing the layout and co…

I didn't get the reference, but it looks like im going to have to watch that series now :D

There was an article a few years ago called "Lost in the Middle: How Language Models Use Long Contexts" https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.03172 From my experience this holds true to this …

I think the problem is that pangram doesn't actually work on the whole document - it works on chunks of the document. By analysing a specific piece of prose you probably arent usin…

I wonder how different the internet would look these days without Section 230.
