Incredible! I’m interested in doing something similar on windows, have you looked into that at all? Apparently codex computer use plans to support this on windows in the future. Were you able to see how codex was doing it, or the inspiration was just “they’ve shown it’s possible”?


I did something similar on Windows by creating a "virtual desktop," where I can give the app focus without stealing it from another one. The idea was to basically reimplement RemoteApp without needing a dedicated Windows server. However, in that case, the app is not visible to the user unless you use "connect" to the virtual desktop; to do it, I implemented (WIP) a simple VNC server in C#.


Thanks! We haven't gone deep on Windows yet because we're still focused on polishing the macOS release. We want to go deeper on the Mac experience before going broader across platforms, and there are still a lot of features we want to ship and use cases we want to share.


> ‘AI’ doesn’t exist, and LLMs have vanishingly narrow legitimate justifiable use cases. … I’m yet to identify any application of a LLM which can rationally be mistaken for intelligence.

What’s the opposite of AI psychosis? Burying your head in the sand? Because anyone who could write this unironically today is certainly afflicted.


No one who is impressed by the current applications of LLMs should be in any way involved with making decisions which affect those not similarly cognitively impaired.

It’s no different to religions or economics.


Hard to argue with you when disagreeing with your point makes me cognitively impaired.


I always welcome, and look forward to, being proven wrong.


Which do you like? Barebells salty peanut and chocolate dough over here. Though the sugar alcohols certainly aren’t great for you either, I think they were recently linked to stroke risk


I'm a Barebells Coco Choco "fan", though I'm aware of the stories around sugar alcohols. I think those bars are way too sweet anyway. They could use far less sweeteners. Would love to hear about more responsible options.


Munk Pack is a good brand. They're like Kind bars but sweetened with allulose.


Thanks for the link. I also hate the sugar alcohols.

However:

> But allulose isn’t approved for use in Canada or Europe. There, it’s considered a “novel food,” which means it hasn’t been available long enough for sufficient testing, according to those governments’ standards.

> And it’s important to know that the FDA’s GRAS status doesn’t mean that allulose has been rigorously tested.

> “We don’t have studies regarding the safety of allulose at this time,” Dr. Hazen shares. “But if it follows similar trends to what we see in some other sugar substitutes that are sugar alcohols like erythritol, I would suggest there’s reason to be cautious about how much of it you consume.”

I don't consume more than like a few grams per day to sweeten things like coffee, as well as the 5g or so in a single Munk bar. I seem to tolerate it well.


OpenAI just released “codex security”, worth trying (along with other suggestions) if your org has access https://openai.com/index/codex-security-now-in-research-prev...


Have you tried docker sandboxes? https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/

The docker desktop license requirement is a factor, though. You need a paid subscription if your company has something like 250 employees or $10 million in annual revenue

All the more important for people who value the rule of law to continue to call it the Department of Defense. Executive power ultimately depends on acceptance and compliance. Corrupt and unconstitutional actions are only legitimized by collective acceptance


100% agree, many people don’t realize just how harmful wood smoke is. It’s also the main source of pollution in the Bay Area during the winter. Unfortunately energy costs are high enough here that people resort to burning wood to save money, so collectively beneficial policies are likely to face resistance (understandably).

The purpleair map has been awesome to at least make the problem visible. I hope they are using it to aid enforcement on spare the air days.

> I breathe in smoke every day through the copious amount of weed I smoke

It shows.


Yes clearly your anecdote is irrefutable proof.


[flagged]


You’re the one claiming smoking cigarettes don’t give lung cancer and it’s all a big conspiracy to mess with you.

So the onus in on you to show that smoking cigarettes doesn’t cause lung cancer despite the overwhelming amount t of scientific evidence that it does.

Do you really think your aggressive behavior will convince anyone that you’re fine and healthy and it’s just everybody else that isn’t?


presuming your suggestion is correct (that forum goers are indistinguishable from walking echo chambers) , wouldnt screaming at forum goers just end up with a scream being returned right at you ?


> Did you notice how they have banned and demonized tobacco, but the lung cancer rate keeps increasing?

No, I noticed the opposite. They demonized tobacco, and lung cancer rates went dowm precipitously.


[dead]


Rates are down massively compared to where they were before the significant drop in smoking.

> a full 1/3 of lifelong smokers never develop any kind of cancer,

That's "true" in the sense that it's the CVD (Cardiovascular disease) and COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) that are way more likely to take them out first.

Sure, you absolutely can be 98 years old sucking back on a deathstick, just like you might find yourself screaming "suck it" as you take home that giant lottery cheque with some winnings.

Pachinko's a hell of a game .. but still the house wins.

Putting aside the debate about harm, it's very annoying filling the shared air with wood smoke. I'm glad you think you're invulnerable to smoke.



> the lung cancer rate keeps increasing? I just don't get it!

In what world is he a “pseudo” philanthropist? He’s already given more than $60 Billion away and pledged to donate 99%+ of his wealth. He has also called for his class of ultra-wealthy to be taxed more


Also, on what planet did Ancient Greeks not celebrate their wealthy.


Also why are they "pseudo-Gods?"


Not everyone is so unimaginative and myopic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
