Never heard of Exim, I'm just realizing what it is:

> Exim is an open-source Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) designed for Unix-like systems to receive, route, and deliver email.

what's the significance of this? do people use this in production systems?

this is a good explainer video that talks about why Polymarket maintains a Panama HQ instead of a US one and why it has two different sites (.us vs .com). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seNwZhK4UdA

it already is. re-read?

This largely appears to be a HTML generator at its core, not necessarily what Figma does with layers/canvases etc. There's no collaborative nature to it either.

It feels like a lightly designed product that moves claude CLI to their backend, generates the HTMLs and renders them in browser on claude.ai website for you. Sure, it accepts your design system as an input from you or imports from your repo, but you could feed the same into claude CLI as well?

I'm curious what exactly it gives besides having claude CLI + prompting it well with your design system + skills.

I see on a daily basis that I prevent Claude Code from running a particular command using PreToolUse hooks, and it proceeds to work around it by writing a bash script with the forbidden command and chmod+x and running it. /facepalm

As I understand it, the problem nowadays doesn't seem to be so much that the agent is going to rm -rf / my host, it's more like it's going to connect to a production system that I'm authorized to on my machine or a database tool, and then it's going to run a potentially destructive command. There is a ton of value of running agents against production systems to troubleshoot things, but there are not enough guardrails to prevent destructive actions from the get-go. The solution seems to be specific to each system, and filesystem is just one aspect out of many.

How about the assets?

I'm sorry dude but your last post was also hyping up R1 which was a total disaster. Do you mind actually sharing your experience with OpenClaw, such as how are you orchestrating a project? How much does it cost? How do you prompt it? What tasks do you get done? How much does it actually take to execute on those tasks? What is your interaction with the agent?

Nobody's saying you should deploy code with this, but symlinks are a very common filesystem locking method.

    censor from the Internet any sites a shadowy cabal
    of European media elites deemed against their interests
Has he recently gone full conspiracy theorist? (Also what's that cringy chatgpt picture supposed to tell us?) Who is the shadowy cabal of EU elites? If anything EU is purely politicians obedient to USA interests. I'm guessing this is what happens in tech when the tide starts to shift, because tech doesn't have morals, it's all just about money. Start praising the new administration no matter what they do, until they're not popular and start praising the next thing. Looking forward to his back-to-woke pivot in 2 years.

Is there an actual guide? It seems you've mainly pasted something along the lines of a ChatGPT output to a Github Pages html.

The site says "No signup required!" but then requires signup to actually generate anything. ("Cost 1 credits 0 generations remaining today".) Probably not going to hand out my email for that.

Having been at G and also getting denied promo several times consecutively, it's almost always a manager's fault. They're either not bringing the committee feedback to you properly or not representing your work well in that room. Either way it's a sign that they're unable to do better, and you're better off not reporting to the long term.

Funny enough just got an error trying to reach to the blog

        Proxy Error
        The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
        The proxy server could not handle the request
        Reason: Error reading from remote server

Indeed. No disrespect to Justin (great person) or any of the engineers who were sacked but Corey's post here is basically "here's someone who was sacked, and here are several other layoff news". AWS is really big organization. Several orders of magnitude bigger than people who were remote/refused to RTO. Organizations like this survive these brain brains.

Agreed, and my concern is not a "NSA is monitoring my activity" but more along the lines of whether they have enough funding to staff security research and response for this browser.
