I wonder if there is a way, sane and friendly way, to prove that a piece of software is only accessing whatever it claims it will access.

continued:

Like network addresses or file system access. I want to be able to claim in my software that it only touches this or that file and I can prove it

replied to:

I believe the sanest and friendliest way would be for it to be open-source so it can be audited.

replied to:

I know, and that's totally fine, but it is not always friendly. I guess an agent can "audit" it.

replied to:

Just the fact that it can be audited plus your word is enough. Noone would need to look any further, because they could if they had to.

replied to:

I think a trusted piece of software such as your operating system should be in charge of managing permissions. For example, I believe with Wayland on gnome you no longer need to promise you aren't secretly taking screenshots of the whole monitor and shipping it somewhere because to do that Wayland requires you to get user permission.

replied to:

I was thinking along the same line, but then if it is not a gated system - there’s always ways for software to sidestep these - just going down to a lower level. The other issue I have is if the system or software asks or notifies all the time - for every tiny user action!

Quite a few major 's implemented today, API writes, password logins, full-text search. Wonder what's going to follow.

anyone else seriously into agentic loop development?

replied to:

I've been working with physical AI - Letting LLMs control robots in a warehouse to collaborate and collectively come up with a physically correct solution to carry out a natural language intent. We had to study the reactive nature of agents, nudges they required, etc.

replied to:

that's awesome and near my heart. I kicked off a personal project emergingrobotics.ai

replied to:

haha that's a coincidence. Site looks awesome. The moving away from ROS2 part is so true. One of our main potential customers for physical AI solutions (a telecom provider in JP) communicated the need for agents to be able to pick up controls from any vendor

I apologize if that sounded obvious/non-obvious/amateurish haha. I was an intern and worked more on the agentic side of things, it was just a non-primary experiment

Any users around? I have been customizing it to the way I work, as it is meant to be. Bent it in a way that I enjoy holding it, so to say. Maybe someone will find those useful, so I took the time to get it published. Gruntfooot is a footer customization, where you can try new colors/glyphs in real time and also has theme support.

Piflux is a coding workflow. You can steer software development by running commands that issue reasonably general prompts. /plan, /code, /review I created this because I find it very useful to have different models/ perform each of those tasks in isolated sessions. Managing this manually was very much a hassle.

Huge flaw in the static site generator I built. That's what you get I guess when you don't have a computer science degree and you build with only surface level knowledge. You get your ass bit!

The machine I use textlog on didn't have a functioning display due to the xlibre drama. It's over and I'm back now!

replied to:

Was not aware that there had been any xlibre drama. What's the story there?

replied to:

Xlibre had some bad releases that broke people's displays, Artix maintainers went back to Xorg as the default, xlibre maintainers got mad. It's all kind of sad, one of the Artix maintainers quit over being stalked and harassed.

…

replied to:

Drama indeed. It's all X.org here as there's no reason not to for me. Anyway, glad you have your display back.
