And in a skill, I can store the secret in the skill itself, or a secure storage the skill accesses, and the agent never gets to see the secret. Sure, if I want my agents to use nak…

As the old saying goes: "This too will pass." Consumer hardware will always be a market worth serving for companies who don't see their stock price as their product. If the existin…

Absolutely true, but there is a silver lining: When people rewriting open source libs with a bot then come crying to maintainers that their rewrites have bugs, and they would like …

Why does my text-editor need to do "encryption at rest"? If I want data encrypted, I store it in an encrypted drive with a transparent en/decryption layer.

As funny as the "Bush hid the facts" bug may be, there is a world of difference between an embarassing mistake by a function that guesses the text encoding wrong, and a goddamn rem…
