What a wonderful title, a breath of fresh air.

A breath of fresh _DNA_

Certainty is a wonderful thing

China is effectively run by engineers, so that is a good hedge for Apple.

Freedom

Precisely. I find Grok’s multi-agent approach very useful here. I have custom agent configured as a validator.

Do you have to use Grok? I don't anyhow that found it passed evaluations.

I find most people who use grok do so for ideological reasons

Yeah, I guess. "Lex Luthor made an AI, I need to support him so I'll use Grok!" is a thing.

Unfortunately that is kind of how some people operate when it comes to musk. Grokopedia certainly is not used by people because it’s useful.

I’ve often dreamt of breeding with that mythical bird far, far away.

If you do cross the barrier, you could successfully mate with that mythical bird!

So Claude crashed because it was busy figuring out how to fly the plane?

What have the Roman’s ever done for us?

Or found they’ve been compromised by someone else? ;)


Agree. Single point of failure. One developer, one account. Crazy.


Having multiple accounts wouldn't help, as Microsoft could easily suspend all the accounts of everyone associated with the project if any account looks suspicious. The single point of failure is Microsoft.


You're not actually allowed to avoid this by having multiple accounts, that falls under "ban evasion".

But yes, there's a lot of critical single maintainer projects.


No, that is not the issue here. The source of the problem is something different. This is a wrong root cause analysis.


How would more than one account help in this scenario, exactly?


Any account can sign any (same) piece of software. Of course Microsoft could detect the it's signing a software related to a banned signed and ban the new account. So veracrypt (and wireguard) is stuck.

It's outrageous. MS is simply enforcing some Government crackdown on encryption software that would interfere with backdoors.
