I mean, I CAN see the value in pushing the context summary to git. We already have git blame to answer "who", but there is no git interrogate to answer the "why". This is clearly an attempt to make that a verb git can keep track of. It's a valuable idea.

I also seen examples of it before. I've got opencode running right now and it has a share session feature. That whole idea is just a spinoff on the concept of the same parent that led to this one.

Isn't "why" what commit message bodies are for?

I don't see the big issues with jailbreaks, except maybe for LLMs providers to cover their asses, but the paper authors are presumably independent.

That LLMs don't give harmful information unsolicited, sure, but if you are jailbreaking, you are already dead set in getting that information and you will get it, there are so many ways: open uncensored models, search engines, Wikipedia, etc... LLM refusals are just a small bump.

For me they are just a fun hack more than anything else, I don't need a LLM to find how to hide a body. In fact I wouldn't trust the answer of a LLM, as I might get a completely wrong answer based on crime fiction, which I expect makes up most of its sources on these subjects. May be good for writing poetry about it though.

I think the risks are overstated by AI companies, the subtext being "our products are so powerful and effective that we need to protect them from misuse". Guess what, Wikipedia is full of "harmful" information and we don't see articles every day saying how terrible it is.

If you create a chatbot, you don't want screenshots of it on X helping you to commit suicide or giving itself weird nicknames based on dubious historic figures. I think that's probably the use-case for this kind of research.

> The easiest way to get MyGNUHealth is by installing the package from your favorite operating system / distribution. Many operating system distributions already ship MyGNUHealth.

I was actually curious to try this out on my phone, since they claim to support mobile devices.

If running a command-line package manager is the easiest way to install this on Android, I don't want to know what harder ways exist.

I find this is quite typical for open source projects. The community still hasn't really, truly adopted mobile. I guess it's because of the need to have some sort of entity be present in the various App Stores? But if it's possible for servers, why is this so rare to have open source projects as app store vendors?

This is my general opinion with regards to bureaucracy in Germany. All the data is most likely already there and all the technical challenges have been solved in the meantime. Why do I have to do the runaround from office to office, when they are physically connected by a piece if wire (aka the internet).

There is a reason why we have so much bureaucracy in Germany (1. because we like it) and second because it is supposed to provide trust, trust that every company I deal with is legit, trust that the system knows who is participating. Without trust nobody would make business or business would be very hard, because you would have to price in the risk of not having trust.

There is something to be said for trust here. I like that I can go straight to the imprint ("Impressum") to know with whom I'm dealing with online, where the company is located and who the CEO is. This is not always easy to decipher from the "Terms" pages companies in the US and elsewhere provide.

The downside for founders is that you have to divulge your address, unless you take additional steps to give yourself a mailbox address, but this can also be illegal if you're not careful. You can also rent an office of course, but for indie devs and freelancers, this is usually not financially viable.

It's also connected to so much bureaucracy that you almost need to hire someone for that alone, because you wont have as much time for your actual business. Founding a company in Germany is so much unnecessary paperwork its crazy. Single handedly the only reason I will never try it in my home country.
cseleborg · a year ago
That's a bit exaggerated. I did have a company, and while it did come with bureaucracy, the vast majority of my time was spent on what you expect a founder to do (sales, marketing, product, etc.).

There's an excellent podcast called Acquired with a 3-part episode covering the birth and evolution of NVIDIA, highly recommended.

Makes me feel old. I was at uni when Ubuntu came out. But my story was similar to yours in the mid 90s and I got hold of a walnut creek cd with Slackware from some PC mag, a couple floppy disks and discarded hardware and I was off to the races

There was something about discovering tech through dedicated tech sites back then that felt exciting.

Now, any time I find something new it always has a polished marketed feel to it and has none of the secretive clandestine undiscovered power that old tech had.

I guess I am getting old

Slackware!!! Dang, I had forgotten that name. That was the first distro I installed as well. Xeyes and stuff. Oh, dear...

This very technique is why I loved Salman Khan's teaching videos on Khan Academy so much. On any topic, he goes straight to the content, no intro whatsoever.

Both frameworks have various packages that add OIDC support to them so that shouldn't be an issue.

As for beginner - there's quite a bit of learning curve in terms of writing GUI applications themselves. Avalonia is kind of like WPF* but good(tm) and cross-platform. Uno platform is more like Xamarin and MAUI except in a better shape as of today. From technical perspective, Avalonia focuses on consistent rendering on all platforms with Skia while Uno tries to use native controls instead. I generally would not advise using Avalonia for mobile over Uno. In mobile case you might actually want to also give MAUI a try as, despite harsh criticism it has been receiving, it has improved significantly.

* either platform supports various declarative UI libraries (that are either part of their ecosystem or community-maintained), so you are not married to XAML thankfully.

That's a great answer, very helpful. I just picked up Avalonia for a test drive. Why do you think Uno is better than Avalonia for mobile?
