Sigh, why has the industry converged on TUI? Branding and aesthetics over functionality? TUI is just much worse for me. I tried Codex CLI vs Codex UI and Codex UI beats it at every level.

According to SpaceX's own filing documents, you are incorrect. They must be principally an AI company to justify anything close to their current valuation.
Get de-facto monopoly on American space launches and I don't think they need to be anything else.

You will be surprised how much code goes into creating harnesses.
Alright I’ll bite. Why do harnesses require so much code?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The first issue is due to the assumption that character count equals character display width. Thai tone markers usually[1] should not contribute to the display width (เพื่อน is chars = 6, width = 4), so it caused a layout shift. The second issue is due to the program's layout engine not adjusting the glyph width of a fallback font to that of the main font. A lot of terminals do this, but it's not common for text edit…
Thanks for the explanation. Safari on iPad lines these up almost perfectly - the second line is a tiny bit wider, I didn’t even notice it at first. That example had a tone mark but no vowels, so I will try one with both. E&OE. |ดื่มน้ำอยู่| |abcdef| [edit] These are even closer, but still imperfectly aligned on my iPad.
You can't really control alignment of deeply Unicode characters like Thai or "→" against monospace characters without serving your own monospace fonts that are guaranteed to work for the characters you'll be sending out, assuming you can always have one in hand.
Has anyone tried building from source? The commit message says "initial sync from the monorepo." Is this even compilable without the rest of the source code?
yup you can compile, we tested and made sure all the features work before posting
Also, it would be great if you could tag the versions as well.

> I there's anyone I don't trust with AI, it's the worlds #1 company in spying on people, in collection of Pii, in tracking, and many many many times caught literally lying about it. If you gave me this description in isolation, I would assume you were talking about Meta, who are not on your shortlist despite also having AI models. However, this is beside the point. Note my careful phrasing: I was not disagreeing wit…
If you gave me this description in isolation, I would assume you were talking about Meta, who are not on your shortlist despite also having AI models. You've mistaken me for the guy you originally replied to. It happens, no worries, but I'm not that guy. I'm just replying to the list I saw you state. Between Meta and Google? Oh sure, Meta collects info for sure. But Meta doesn't lie, abuse, and misuse the Google Play…
Oops. Yup. blfr vs b112.
> And of course, gmail endlessly scanned and data snarfed, including for AI training, which is immensely beyond Meta's capabilities.
That doesn't seem to to be beyond the sum of FB feed, Messenger, WhatsApp, etc?
> Zuck isn't a saint, but it's not like he has entire operating systems sneakily stealing user location data and then lying about doing so. Then saying they fixed that, and being caught a few more times, each with "Oh, so sorry, we'll fix that now. Really". That's Google, and that attitude is prevalent in their entire org.
In this regard, I consider them similar, due to current and historic lawsuits.
> In terms of the others? It's so difficult to separate fact from fiction, especially with the current US political climate. As a Canuck, every issue, every problem sounds (to me) like when I used to live by a noisy neighbour. I'd hear people screaming at each other, spouting nonsense and gibberish at all hours of the day. The arguments just sounded immensely petty and small, childish, and if I ever talked to them their explanations made zero sense.
Same, from the UK, living in Berlin. I still don't know if "woke" has a single coherent definition beyond "to the left of an arbitrary demarcation point that varies so much from person to person that GWB and Dick Cheney sometimes (albeit in the absolute extreme) count as woke".

Had to look that one up: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/chicanery
Perhaps people do underestimate Google in this regard. I can't place myself in everyone's shoes.
> If an AI becomes AGI at Google and goes rogue, within 12 seconds every single politician would be influenceable via the dirt Google's collection apparatus has on them.
Perhaps (with a rhetorical 12 seconds), but given the dirt we see from leaked WhatsApp messages, what we see in press-reported ChatGPT sessions, the recent news about Grok uploading entire repos and secrets separately to the files they need to interact with, they'd not be the only one to be a danger to civilisation in this regard.
> Alternatively if a Google AGI went rogue, it could track every person capable of providing threat to it, and take them out, all due to Google's location tracking.
Given how competent existing models are with GeoGuessr, I think this risk is present for all of them.
> AGI and Google is the scariest thing I can possibly imagine.
Dunno about that, imagine if this came with a competent AI: https://www.terafab.ai

I had Fable 5 compile that Rust code to WebAssembly and build a browser-based playground for it, so you can try it out with Mermaid diagrams here: https://tools.simonwillison.net/grok-mermaid A few more notes on my Grok code explorations on my blog: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/15/grok-build/
I love this kind of stuff (ASCII art, if you will), but it just breaks down too easily as soon as Unicode characters (mainly CJK, as I'm Chinese) and fonts are involved. For example, on your website, any chart or plot involving horizontal arrows breaks down because the assigned font-family (`ui-monospace, SFMono-Regular, Menlo, Consolas, monospace`, which ends up as Consolas on my machine) has no such glyph. Thus, it…
