Yeah, we really live in age of Internet Explorer 6 yet.
We already have cool features in browsers, like transparent backgrounds, rounded borders, and even HTML 5 video elements, but we still cannot use VM intensively for any purpose with no hassle.
Maybe 10-50 years later we finally can use Linux laptop with RTX 5060, and just run a Call Of Duty multiplayer while a local LLM will fix bugs in our code.
Current incident confirms that we can't trust to authors of DuckDB, because they can't evade a trivial phishing attack.
Tomorrow they will do it again, and attackers will replace binary files that users download with this random script. Or this script will steal crypto/etc.
To make attack vector difficult for hackers, it's preferable to download any software as packages. On linux it looks like `apt install python3`.
The benefits is
1. Repositories are immutable, so attacker can't replace binary for specific version, even if they will hack all infrastructure of DuckDB. Remote script may be replaced anytime to run any code
2. Some repositories have strict review process, so there are external reviewers who will require to pass security processes to upload new version
Recently I've tried Baldur's Gate 3, gameplay looks nice, but options in dialogues written by 12 y.o. kid. It would be nice to talk via LLM that would have the described character personality.
No, thanks. I already spent time to write tests while implementing a features, now I have a lot of tests that proof the feature is works fine, and I no more fear to make changes, because tests keep me safe of regression bugs.
The typical problems of any code base with no tests is a regression bugs, rigid team (because they must keep in mind all cases when code may destroy everything), fear driven development (because even team with zero rotation factor don't actually remember all problems they've fixed).
I have couple open source NPM packages I develop together with other developers. In some of this packages I have less than 50% contributions in code. But I listed as contributor on NPM, just because I found this packages and did not update contributors list a long time.
So definitions does not matter when stats that author refers, does not include a developers who own over 50% code in repo, but includes me as contributor.
That's widely known problem of programmers to believe that world is perfect and all data are always actual. Actually it won't.
It looks like whisper + google translate + google TTS. Typical "quality" for that stack, bad latency, no any privacy.
I'm developer of "Linguist", a browser extension for translation in browser, and I say you that nowadays it is possible to translate text locally in device. Linguist have embedded offline translator. The same with TTS and voice recognition.
All this features may run locally in-device, even in browser extension, but not in macOS application?
This product looks rather like a malware that will spy on users and then blackmail us or sell our conversations to email scammers for better targeting or anything.
Additionally it is interesting that Chinese and Korean languages is not supported. You just use cloud services, they are all support these languages, why you don't? Is it to fake something?
"12 hours translation per month" for $29. 12 hours it's about 6-12 meetings? Who is your audience then?

We also agreed the original creator wouldn’t reuse the “unity-mcp” repo name under his GitHub profile, which could break redirects.
Why?
A lot of times I faced with page 404 when clicked GitHub links that have been moved.
Isn't it good idea to do it like that
- Move repo to new org (to move stats and activity)
- Create repo with the same name that are fork of a target repo
- Update readme to explain repo was moved
- Archive the repo to place a warning on top of the repo
This way make users have to click link in original github repo, to go on your repo.
So it would be a problem if you need to show a numbers and you need to fake activity. But if you don't need fake activity, it is not a problem, because a real people who really looking for solution will be able to click one more link.
On the other hand, this way ensure that whole content will be available by indexed links.
How to prevent 404 and why people still faces with it on GitHub?
I think those who believe a companies will pay to you for a random OSS is just a kids. Ask people who can use a sheets, they explain you why your product will die with this approach.
