    Ah yes sandbox it because Docker has never experienced a CVE. Also you admit your own failure points: restricting access to the home dir, when a user needs access to the home dir, …

    Agents wrote the code, agents tested the code, agents reviewed the diff, a human reviewed the diff, agents verified it made it to production correctly. But when the pipeline fails …

    Coupled with the fact that free VM is marketing, nothing more, it's odd people would feel any other way. The idea that a company would give compute away for free without one-or-mor…

    What happened in July 2025 and January 2026? If that can't be explained in a concise way this entire dataset is vibes at best.

    Completely agree. This posture is applicable while we ease out of what I'm calling the "golden era" (loose restrictions on access with limited consequence) but one of the reasons I…

    It's not reliable, and presenting it as-such shows a lack of understanding of basic security posture. Don't take my word for it, watch the news in <6 months and we'll certainly see…

    Fair point! I guess I read "pacing the frontier" as "pacing the release of the frontier" surely no lab's internal research team is just going to stop innovating?

    Something people don't seem to see, and not that it's placed directly in front of you, is that pacing the release and adoption of AI is already happening. Cost-per-token determines…

    Bro this place hasn't had a sense or enforcement of the guidelines for years.

    I do something very similar. With some hacky string matching you can detect wether a window is available for reception and get past that. I desire a more robust system which inject…

    Gigabit / 2.5 Gbit connectivity is already obsolete. Any modern product must have 10gbe WAN with the hardware to back up NAT at that throughput.

    I mean, to be honest, I'm the one who sets the precedent for most of the teams that I work with; that's one of my roles. And personally, I don't necessarily follow a hard line with…

    I would also add that the high-quality ones are quite expensive, and that I found incorporating an RJ45 switch with an SFP uplink was more economical for the cases that needed RJ45…

    The concept of developing on a system which does not closely mirror your production environment died with virtualization and containerization over a decade ago. You will experience…

    If you are implementing 10 GBE at distances less than 5-7 m, I highly recommend standardizing on DAC cabling. It removes the need for these kinds of conversions that create these k…

    Fair point. I should have said "popularized in the modern software vernacular by Rust".

    OpenClaw is an application, not a harness. Yes, it contains a harness, but it is a complete product. When building an agentic workflow there are enough primitives that rewriting th…

    A builder pattern and decorators. Yes, Python has decorators, but they're best used as "filters" that apply to functions or methods. Cache this, serialize the output of this functi…

    There are certainly edge cases where you want native USB and display, but after initial bring up, the device is on the network, and can be managed over the network. So, sure, nerd …

    Solve it and understand it; seems intuitive to me. I don't understand how that contradicts my question.

    Isn't the whole point of the field of mathematics in a theoretical sense the pursuit of formal solutions? So, why would they be advocating for limitations on arriving at solutions?…

    Everyone's gonna frame this as "AI is dumb". And, yes, the current tech is pretty dumb. But this is a blatant misapplication of the technology in an obviously sensitive use case wi…
