Shellfish is underrated. It has a very convenient tmux integration (auto-restore a specific tmux session per host to work around iOS suspending background apps), supports SSH tunneling via other configured hosts, and can be used as an SFTP file provider for other iOS apps. It’s also generally polished and supports the expected standard terminal features.

There’s a few settings I wished were possible, like using volume buttons as modifier keys in Emacs (I’ve heard about this in other apps), but mostly it works fine.


Blink will end up giving you an experience similar to the stack in doom-coding (as Blink's local capabilities are very limited thanks to iOS rules) except you have to pay a subscription.

Termux on Android will let you do anything you can do on your standard Linux PC.


Hmm, maybe I got grandfathered in or something because I paid some set price a few years ago and have not had a subscription for blink, and just use it the same way I would use Ghostty and then ssh into another machine. Use something else if it needs a sub. Some sibling comments had some recommendations.

Last time I looked at this company they just dumped your uploads into an unauthenticated gcp bucket. They just ran your photo thru an llm and asked for its location at the time, and the founder was doing something very weird (in my opinion) with scraping Tinder profiles.

Back when GeoSpy was available for everyone to use, I did a test where I just uploaded an image that had a black background and white text saying the location of a place and a textual description.

GeoSpy told me that it was the place mentioned in the picture, with the textual description as evidence.


Yes, I have done the same and also used it to prompt inject to give some info about the prompt, but I don’t have that data anymore.

What were the jpgs in tge thotDBSmash folder? Did the founder use that bucket to collect photos of women? Or was that geolocation material, too…

> Or was that geolocation material, too…

Yeah I think we've figured out what inspired him to build the tool. :/


if creep and tech nerd was a person:

You upload photos to tinder, and tinder has rough data on location provided (distance to you) i believe, the photos were the photos people posted on their tinder profile.

Wow — that is probably the most suspicious set of three details ever shared on this forum. Thank you for enlightening us!

Am I the only person that despises CDK? Why would I use a cloud specific language instead of something like opentofu?

CDK's twin problems are that it compiles down to CloudFormation and that AWS did a terrible job at supporting languages other than TypeScript. The latter is theoretically fixable with a native FFI library that is called from each language, but the former is too leaky of an abstraction.

I've only ever used it with ts and thought the experience was pretty good (especially compared to terraform)

Considering all the downvotes I got I guess you're not the only one. I'm surprised because I really like cdk. It makes creating an AWS stack really easy, and for having dealt with terraform configurations that were trying to deal with multiple cloud platforms I'd rather have a per-platform eDSL

most of my experience with 4.5 is similar to codex 5.1, where I just have to scold it for being dumb and doing things I would have done as a teenager

dumbness usually comes from lack of information, humans are the same way - the difference between other llms is that if opus has information it has a ridiculously high accuracy on tasks.

The pizza report is very annoying to me. It’s a trivial thing for any interested party ( few thousand dollars) to sway up when they want to bring attention to an action the pentagon is doing, and has been such a measure for so long that it’s (in my opinion) ridiculous to still follow it as a source for actual activity. Maybe I should start manipulating it myself.

well, they definitely had an operation tonight to get maduros. maybe the pizza activity is more from the reporters and news crews tgat need to pull a late night shift?

I believe that state actors have put in the relatively low amount of effort to use android device farms to manipulate this statistic. I believe it hasn’t been relevant outside of seeing what the state wants to signal. I also believe individuals can do it as well, since it’s just phones reporting to google maps where they are. You see businesses in tourist cities that are dead empty with massive reviewbots and it showing as a ‘busy place’ as well.

I still have this problem every day.

Games being playable also rely on it.

I can’t even trust senior colleagues to not commit an api key to a git provider. Why would I trust a steerable computer?

Yes they do. When I used to pirate a lot of games because I was broke I was gleefully happy to see a GOG release.

The scene exists for a reason, it is a very trust based ecosystem.


Yeah I usually trust anything a girl who is particularly fit repacks

I also like an empress although part of the fun comes from her rantings.

she really cracks me up with her rantings

good luck sourcing the (supposedly) malware-free release

the source is almost always the same forum, what's your point?

is such a forum always well-ranked on search engines? the point is to evade malware, obviously

What? LLMs invent things (hallucinate) all the time. I used 250m opus 4.5 input tokens this month.

I think "confabulation" is the word. "Hallucinations" imply being fooled by false external stimuli.

Not even remotely close to 2023 hallucinations.
