Watching #emacsconf today I was introduced to this open source project to act as an agent between #llm's and editors.

Has anyone played with this? Any experience in how one would sandbox an agent so it doesn't do anything outside the project directory?

This is depressing. I have relatives who are adopters and it seems this sort of behaviour of social workers is endemic in the system. The support is not there and when things break down they attack the parents to bully them into continuing at risk to themselves and their other kids.

A fairly deep dive about how you can cherry pick stats to push a narrative.

Perhaps the biggest libvirt related piece of work here has been to reworking of the QMP API docs to make them easier to navigate. QMP is how libvirt probes for functionality as well as handling things like introspection of the machines and dealing with things like hotplug.

Post Office paid £600m to continue using Horizon despite its broken state. Hopefully this should be a wake up call to government about how it goes about large software projects.

In my opinion anything written for government should come with a full license for the source code (preferably open source) so they have the ability to change suppliers if there are any issues.

For virtualization there are improvements for VirtIO, vfio and Loongarch CPU hotplug. On the emulation side additions for Arm, RiscV and even some speed ups for x86 string ops. On the documentation side a whole bunch of work has been done on QMP API to make it clearer and more navigable.

I was trying to add a Matter device from my phone but it kept saying I needed to install the companion app from the Play store even though I was in the companion app (from f-droid). I've installed the Bluetooth proxy app as well but it made note difference.

Does anyone know what's going on?

It always seemed to me that QAnon was some sort of online LARP on 4chan that got out of control and metastasized. It's left a trail of broken families and swept into the mainstream with branding and everything. After the predictions of Trump's return to power after Jan 6th it seems to have fizzled out. Did QAnon stop posting? Did their adherents just glom onto the next crazy theory? How many followers now disavow the theories of QAnon?

This is an interesting article of the fish shells journey of covering to rust which I found quite interesting. I'm especially interested because of projects I work with that are currently experimenting with rust.

The long awaited Cass report has been published looking at gender affirming care in the NHS.
