Claude code is basically just a fancy network client for the cloud-hosted LLM. There is nothing in it demanding high performance. It just needs to be a sandbox around the shell environment and be able to send off prompts, collect user input, and carry out intents returned from the LLM. 99.9% of the time the CLI app is idle waiting for user input, idle waiting for LLM network I/O, or idle waiting for a cli tool invocation to return.

The more important requirement is for it to be something cross platform and easy to iterate on since this is a rapidly evolving space.

Right, which is why charging networks can get away with bullshit like requiring an app to charge. Frequent flyers only get annoyed once and then just use the app. The rare road tripper has no choice. If charging stations were more ubiquitous, the we could give them the finger and use one that took CCs, but they aren't, so we can't. Also, the largest player in the US, Tesla, has what was up to recently a proprietary network that only worked with Tesla cars, so you HAVE to use an app at most of their locations, and they've unfortunately normalized this shit for the rest of the industry.

So download a browser that lies about the kernel flag? The remote service can't interface with the kernel directly, it's counting on a browser to accurately report the state of the flag.

The only way you could trust the flag state as report by the client, is if it was signed by a trusted third party, at which point, it's irrelevant if it's a kernel feature or not. All you need is for the browser to pass along the signed bolus of data, e.g. PKCS#11 or similar.

I don't see why. You are a captive consumer and the demand is inelastic. If you need to charge now, and the nearest DC fast charger is 30 miles away, you are going to install the app. The company doesn't need to be responsive to your complaints.

But that sounds more like a browser feature or concern, no need to get an OS involved at all. You could do that with PKCS#11 today.

Governments are starting to require people verify their ages with an actual picture ID either primarily or via a trusted third party verifier. How does does a flag sent by the OS that the user sets to whatever they want satisfy that requirement?

It's not a question of a default admin password anymore. Many people never update their router firmware to patch security holes or run old out-of-support routers that don't receive updates anymore. The risk is more often that someone is running a router that has remote exploitable exploits.

Fortunately those people are increasingly on ISP-managed equipment now, and more tech savvy folks throw their ISP router in the trash and run OpenWRT or PF/OPNSense or similar.

Also, the Chinese government has no real interest in me, and far less ability to lay hands on me than my own government. I don't want to be spied on by anyone, but if my choices are TPLink/CCP vs Cisco/NSA, I'll take China, thanks. Anything sensitive is end-to-end encrypted anyway, so sure they can do some traffic analysis, but I'm not too worried about my financial data or anything. They already got my life's story when they broke into OPM back in '15 and stole my SF86 anyways.

Same - it's a lovely little device. I use TPLink Omada (similar prosumer/SOHO stuff as UNIFI) for my managed switch, APs, and AP controller, but I wanted to keep my router open source and out of any one company's control.

The actual vault is just a mini PC in a nice machined aluminum case. Those aren't banned AFAIK, and OPNSense is just one of many OS options you can choose when you purchase it. It doesn't become a router until you install router software on it, which I assume is done by Protectli in CA.

I've pretty routinely seen claude break out of the sandbox in not super transparent ways. For example, it tries to run git commit, fails because the sandbox won't let git talk to my gpg agent to sign the commit, then it retries outside the sandbox and tells me what it's done after the fact. I think going forward the best practice is going to run it in a container with only project files mounted read-write and to have a pretty restrictive firewall around it.

Those are all features that could be implemented into Android auto. Google and the auto manufacturers just need to agree on an API for the phone to be able to send commands to the head unit, which can then broadcast them on the CAN bus.

Do you know if running a 3rd party OS like Graphene or Lineage precludes you from running apps that use DRM, like Hulu or Netflix? I've been toying with the idea of converting my NVidia shield, but I don't want to hobble its usefullness as a settop box in the family room.

A good portion of the defense budget that goes toward maintaining up America's military dominance in order to prop up the petrodollar.

How about throw them in jail for a while, let's say.... about 6 months. Ah fuck it, lets double it for the criminal negligence displayed.
