I think GitHub has completely lost the plot over the last year or so, I don't think the stuff I work on will leave any time soon but I'm slowly losing my patience with github.

The other week I spent about an hour trying to figure out why my actions jobs were just stuck on waiting and not starting.

For my personal stuff, I think I'm going to migrate to either my own selfhosted instance of something like gitea or codeberg, the juice just isn't worth the squeeze anymore imo for GitHub, even with stuff like free runners and pages.

I personally think this is mainly attributed to GH Copilot and I would love to know if MS/GH even makes a profit on it.

I like that its more consistent than the 4o and o4 days but still 5.4, 5.3, 5.2, etc still are a mess, for example 5.2 and 5.1 don't have mini models and 5.3 was codex only.

Anthropic is slightly better but where is 4.6 or 4.7 haiku or 4.7 sonnet etc.

I've used claude cowork a bit, which I believe is pretty similar to claw.

Can't think of much use for it at the moment but I have it just read and summarise my email, calendar events and git repo in a daily briefing format, it only has readonly access to both, as I dont trust it to do stuff for me or on my behalf.

The briefing thing is nice though not super useful.

I love AI, think its super useful, I use claude daily and follow the industry closely but I would love to go a day without hearing about it

No 100b model.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

Give me a graphene os phone moto, my money will be yours.

Every man and his dog can vibe code.

I swear this happens at least once a year.

Wheres my futuristic storage guys?

Reality is tearing at the seams.

Great, I can now combine the potential maliciousness of a script with the potential vulnerabilities of an AI Agent!

Jokes aside, this seems like a really wierd thing to leave to agents; I'm sure its definitely useful but how exactly is this more secure, a bad actor could just prompt inject claude (an issue I'm not sure can ever be fixed with our current model of LLMs).

And surely this is significantly slower than a script, claude can take 10-20 seconds to check the node version; if not longer with human approval for each command, a script could do that in miliseconds.

Sure it could help it work on more environments, but stuff is pretty well standardised and we have containers.

I think this part in the FAQ wraps it up neatly:

""" What about security? Isn't this just curl | bash with extra steps? This is a fair concern. A few things make install.md different:

    Human-readable by design. Users can review the instructions before execution. Unlike obfuscated scripts, the intent is clear.

    Step-by-step approval. LLMs in agentic contexts can be configured to request approval before running commands. Users see each action and can reject it.

    No hidden behavior. install.md describes outcomes in natural language. Malicious intent is harder to hide than in a shell script.

Install.md doesn't eliminate trust requirements. Users should only use install.md files from sources they trust—same as any installation method. """

So it is just curl with extra steps; scripts aren't obfuscated, you can read them; if they are obfuscated then they aren't going to use a Install.md and you (the user) should really think thrice before installing.

Step by step approval also sorta betrays the inital bit about leaving installing stuff to ai and wasting time reading instructions.

Malicious intent is harder to hide, but really if you have any doubt in your mind about an authors potential malefeasance you shouldn't be running it, wrapping claude around this doesn't make it any safer really when possible exploits and malware are likely baked into the software you are trying to install, not the install.

tldr; why not just have @grok is this script safe?

Ten more glorious years to installer.sh

I think this was writen wholly by deep research.

It just reads like a clunky low quality article

future of humanity btw.

now do the rest of the world

GPT4o in the charts is crazy.

Apple hire this man.

Insane skill issue

I don't really know what it's like in America but 150k here is insane. If you really can't land a job, it's either time for an attitude adjustment or perhaps a third bite at the apple.

5o mini?

exercise in futility

30% over AV1 is crazy, it doesn't feel too long since AV1 released but that was in 2019.

I went to germany and got a DB card, for some reason despite giving them my card details, they instead asked me to pay them within 14 days (after the ticket has expired) via bank transfer or they would fine me an extra 50eur

(I checked, they never took the price of the ticket from my account initally, why not is bizzare)
