I thought it was incredible - I asked it a question about a refactoring and it called a ton of tools very quickly to read the code and it had what seemed like solid reasoning - it found two bugs! Of course, neither were bugs at all. But it looked cool!

drewbitt commented on Petition to stop Google from restricting sideloading and FOSS apps · Posted by u/nativeforks
I don't have figures to back that up, but I did read some figures on posts regarding this. my comment was based on real-life compromises observed.
Drivers and applications are not the same thing, certainly and no application is the same as other applications. browsers aren't the same as file managers. To users what matters is impact not category. A persons entire life can be destroyed because of one side-loaded app, much less so with a windows rootkit (because you don't have phone number/2fa app,etc.. on your windows box).
Users are free to buy devices that let them install any app. Google is responsible for the majority of users who don't care about installing apps from anonymous randos, but care much much more about their livelihoods and well being suffering at the hands of criminals!
> Those targets are rapidly disappearing. Alternative Android ROMs are dying one by one. Look at how few modern phones are officially supported by LineageOS. And many of those are Pixels which Google is no longer releasing binaries for (making ROM builders lives harder).
Ok, then let's talk about that, I'm all for sticking it to Google for all that b.s., but not for the topic at hand.
I have a lot of third party apps and none of them are by 'anonymous' developers. Presenting the situation as if everyone is exposed to 'anonymous' apps and Google is here to save you is misleading and fear‑mongering.
You can't install any of the AI models on the Pixel 9 if you have the bootloader unlocked. Wouldn't be surprised that Gemini Nano or Pro Res Zoom didn't work, either.

Isn't the express purpose of Warp to be an AI-centric terminal? What's the use case for doing stuff in Warp that you don't want sent to an LLM vs. using a regular terminal?
Yes, and even going back over 2 years ago in Wayback Machine has Warp advertising AI autocorrect as one of its biggest features.

I tried Warp once. Well, tried to install it. But when I ran it, instead of giving me a terminal, it showed me a login prompt. Perhaps I mistakenly downloaded a login prompt app instead of a terminal app? ;) Either way, I promptly uninstalled it as I needed a terminal app and not whatever that was.
They removed the login requirement. You can now use it without logging in. It was stupid.

Both Prompt Suggestions and Next Command are settings you can disable.

That seems insane. Do juniors start with Python but then don't write it again once they grow up? or is it just who fills out responses to a survey like this.

I can't say I have ever desired to read something for multiple hours in the terminal, but it seems great for quickly checking a book.

Did you publish these? or provide a guide to build your own? I have my own quick epub/txt to MiniMax tool but adapters or a framework to build your own would be nice. I see "modular" and "extensible" but not what to do.
