app - A web development kit that’s small, purrs, and loves you.

Rules of Engagement, adhering to international law, to your own constitution , has real advantages, that have nothing to do with idealism. Trump is throwing that all away and slowly but surely destroying US power and influence.

Imagine:
You are these parent of an adorable 4-year-old kid. They have made a toy airplane out of spare cardboard. Sadly, during play the wing has fallen off. You, a wise parent, produce a piece of duct tape and tape it back on. Your kid asks: "but what if the tape breaks, or the other wing falls off?" Dutifully, and with a completely serious manner, you duct tape the other wing, and then with a sharpie you write "Please DO NOT fall off!" on each wing. "There," you say, now the wings will not fall off. "
Your child happily returns to their play.
Imagine:
You are boarding a Boeing airplane for an intercontinental flight. Just the other day you were reading news about the emergency exit door falling off a Boeing airplane during flight. Thankfully nobody was injured in that incident, but a passenger could have been sucked out the gap and killed. As you walk down the aisle towards your seat at the back, you notice that around the emergency exit door of this plane, there are some scratch marks. It looks like it might not be 100% seated in place. You see several rolls worth of duct tape slapped onto the gaps between the door and the frame. In sharpie, someone has written "Please DO NOT fall off!" on the duct tape.
This is a post about #Agentic #AI.
To clarify: there are a host of reasons why using Claude Code is unethical in the first place, besides the fact that its a danger to its users. These make it unethical to use it even for a child's-toy-like application. But the source code we've just witnessed in the recent leak is *exactly* this level of "engineering." If you see an app that claims to be "programmed with AI" and it has any possibility of failing in a way that could harm you (for example, if it connects to the internet, meaning that poor programming could allow hackers to take over the device you run it on), my advice is: "Do not use it and warn your friends and family."
P.S. yes, this advice does apply to Microsoft Widows at this point, although that can be a tougher bullet to bite.

TripIt is great, but it has been stagnant for the last decade or so.
I am giving Trek (https://github.com/mauriceboe/TREK) a go. It might be vibe coded, but it seems to do the job.
I just have to add nicer imports from emails.…

🥳 New JavaScript Database (JSDB) release
• Fix: Now properly handling array indices on `JSTable.PERSIST` events in the `keypath` property that’s passed to the event handler.
Just noticed that the pretty keypaths of the JavaScript deltas written to the append-only log were ignoring array indices while playing with a new database introspection call I’m adding to the Kitten Interactive Shell (REPL) and fixed it.
I’ll be updating Kitten shortly to use this version of JSDB and I…

A zero-dependency, transparent, in-memory, streaming write-on-update JavaScript database for the Small Web that persists to a JavaScript transaction log.

Just merged the go-based branch of #convos (web based irc client) to main, planning to do a stable release in a week or two. Other than a total rewrite of the backend from #perl to #go, the main interesting features are oidc SSO and proper webpush notifications working on android and ios. If you want to test the new release, the alpha images are now built using go https://github.com/convos-chat/convos/pkgs/container/convos - the svelte frontend remains more or less unchanged, will probably be upgraded to a more recent svelte and retouched for v10
