Interesting, I'll be testing your tool on my repos. You should publish to crates.io!

Thank you so much! I am open to any and all feedback. Please file an issue or discussion if you have things you'd like to share.

Getting this onto crates.io is a great suggestion, I will look into that!


How did you even afford to use Fable + Ultracode ? I feel like the subscription (even the $200 one) is not enough for this workflow. Are you using API or a company plan?

It was on the $200 sub.

Seems like white hat work is pretty fruitless nowadays. Disappointing.

They keep choosing to work whitehat instead of blackhat, which is all AMD ever wanted.

Fundamentally un-American.

That being said, many countries across the world already do this to eliminate burner phones. And many messaging apps require a phone number anyways so this basically locks down anonymous messaging through a phone.


Well - it's not exactly a surprise that all these non-American countries engage in un-American practices.

It's much more concerning when said practices are undertaken by the U.S.

Just because other countries do something isn't a justification to bring the practice into the U.S. despite that being a justification used with increasing prevalence these days.


American exceptionalism was always a lie; name an “un-American” practice, and I'll show you a piece of American foreign policy.

A lie, or an ideal to try and live up to, depending on the context. In the context of discussing liberty-destroying privacy invasions it's an ideal, and we should not be so quick to dismiss it.

Violations of the US Bill of Rights.

Yes they occur. Yes the US does it. Every violation of it should have lost in court already but courts have a way of interpreting things based on their beliefs rather than original intent.


It's hardly un-American if America does it the most, is it?

>Just because other countries do something isn't a justification to bring the practice into the U.S.

I need to know whether these other countries are rich western europe before I know whether to agree with you or to cook up some snide rebuttal.

Joking, obviously. And by "joking" I mean mocking a specific type of person and set of beliefs that is who is a) bad b) too common around here.


Free, anonymous political speech is the bedrock of American freedom. Also, guns

America, where the Amendments to the Constitution start counting at "2".

Also, apparently ends there, too.


there still are a bunch of viable messaging apps/services that work without a phone number:

matrix, wire, deltachat, threema, maybe jabber/xmpp (depends on their support of encryption). any others?


> many messaging apps require a phone number

But not all, so what's the actual point?


If a messaging app ever gets the attention of government regulators, it must succumb to this verification.

I don't know any way to avoid this.


How would they enforce that on a decentralized communication platform?

outlawing the platform

Did you ever read about how the creator of Session was forced to flee Australia and move to Switzerland?

This is amazing.


> the llms write pretty good zig

I doubt this from my personal experience. Every week after a release, I see tweets complaining how AI wrote some depreciated code because Zig is making breaking changes every release. (They are valid in doing so, it's just not AI friendly yet)


claude and codex are pretty quick to figure out "oh that's not a thing anymore" and figure out what they need to do?

i did a 0.15 -> 0.16 port of this library and most of it the LLM did

I agree, when agents realize they're using old Zig semantics, they will adapt.

Doesn't help the training sets that Zig changes frequently though.


nah. zig doesn't have weird macros/dsls and most zig authors are reasonably good about sticking to conventions. easiest thing to do is to put a "reminder here is changelog" in the agents file

There is, it’s being able to tell bullshit from actual cosplayers.

Ladybird’s blog post is arguing that it used to be tolerable to spend the amount of time evaluating this for every PR, now it’s just unmaintainable for their effort-time.


> There is, it’s being able to tell bullshit from actual cosplayers.

How do you do that efficiently so it can scale?


I hope the author is ok with this kind of publicity. He might not have wanted attention if the language is not ready for public opinion.


Forget vacation and overtime pay, I'd expect equity at that point.
