I don't remember Tim Peters much except the foundational things he has done for Python and that time when the Python Committee were completely disrespectful to him and banned him in the forum. Made sure that I would never donate to the Python foundation ever.
Claude told me that Anthropic disallows Pi for use with Claude Pro / Max subscription and you have to use API. Is OP then switching to API and credits?
I have not used them but supposedly you now get API credits with subscriptions now. (I don't know if it's changed but in the past when they've given API promotions it required enabling billing for API and I don't dare risk some bug on their end billing me a billion bucks)
This is an incredibly overconfident statement, given that no one can definitively prove WhatsApp or production consumer builds of Signal actually encrypt anything (note: this is unrelated to Signal builds compiled by users themselves).
With the massive improvements to AI, it'd be pretty trivial to decompile Signal and compare against the source, or have it reverse engineer WhatsApp to see if there's some kind of backdoor.
Give me a compelling reason why I should care? The Signal Foundation hasn't done anything to undermine its trust. They already do reproducible builds on Android, so why would they backdoor the iOS app.
If it bothers you, why don't you do it and show that it can or cannot be done, or that it isn't as trivial as I say showing the assertion false. Feel free to accept this nerd snipe.
Otherwise, continue to sook because you didn't get what you want.
I don’t know what you’re talking about so feel free to make your point and state how it contradicts the signal page on reproducible builds for Android. Even if there is such a thing, it doesn’t make the analysis impossible (particularly proving whether thr build encrypts anything) like the OP claims and AI can make it easy to get through the gaps. But again you’ll need to make a compelling case why I or anyone should care?
I see some mentioned issue at the bottom of the original issue, but looks irrelevant.
Are you now motivated to do your super trivial AI task?
I repeatedly ask for you to provide a compelling reason to care and you haven't made the case. You want to quibble over things that nobody cares about. So until you have a compelling case, you will have to figure out yourself the answers for which you seek. Alternatively, if you would like to pay me to test my assertion (this will significantly increase my carefactor), I am happy to make arrangements (I don't do bets, there has to always be something in it for me first).
Do you ever admit being wrong?
Before I can concede being wrong, I would have to know what it is that I am being wrong about.
Speaking of being wrong, do you still want to maintain that Signal does not have reproducible builds of Android, because your forum link didn't really help your case, and there's nothing present contradicting that Signal reproducible builds are actually not reproducible.
Been using fastmail since 2013 and before that hosting my own for about 15 years. I feel fastmail does a lot of things right, for example one near and dear to my heart is proper alias handling in the webmail interface. I think my only complaint is that they rolled out IMAP compatible 'notes/memo' for emails, but you can't use it unless you use the grouped conversation thingy which I don't like.
Also I get the vibe that the company treats their employees properly and not like disposable trash.
