so many TLDs that seem to be exploiting similarity to existing ones?

.cmo/.con are particularly egregious

I wonder if xyz.com is simply requesting TLDs based on domains their users enter, so cmo and con come from their users’ typos rather than malicious intent. It would be similar to how some registrars park domains when a user checks if a domain is available.

That would be an absurd amount of money to spend on typosquatting.

Depends on how much you could make, and I imagine quite a bit.

Yes, these should be banned.

the repo description https://github.com/google/ax is "Google's open agentic orchestrator"

for comparison/contrast, another very related Google project (one employee) on one of their github orgs that comes with the following disclaimer

> This is not an officially supported Google product. This project is not eligible for the Google Open Source Software Vulnerability Rewards Program.

Substrate is in the process of being donated to the CNCF as a vendor-neutral common ground (similar to K8s). (The agent-substrate org is currently Google's, but that will change).

it’s true. Google rarely has just one of anything

I think OpenAI was surprised to find their agents had access to the unrestricted internet :P

same here! I got into Scratch at the age of 7 and without it (and the Scratch community), I wouldn’t have any career (or even a plan for one). I also worked as an intern on the Scratch team at the Scratch Foundation.

I also know that one of the important developers for the Asahi Linux drivers also started on Scratch. I think there’s a lot of real software engineers who started on Scratch (and the Scratch community, which is often overlooked)

> Also, what's the reason banning minors? Is AI bad for mental health?

These 'integrations' everywhere just mean we get more APIs that can be accessed programmatically, which I think is good for users, even if you don't plan to use to use AI. It's like the optimistic web 2.0 APIs everywhere days

Couldn’t you just prefix your search with KDE? Search engines aren’t that bad. I like the Apple approach where apps are just named what they do.

(Minus Safari. I wonder why they went with Safari.)

If I were to guess I’d say they went with Safari because of Internet Explorer that used to be the Mac’s default browser. In a safari tour you discover and explore, so keeping up with the discovery theme we have Internet >Explorer<, Netscape >Navigator< and Apple >Safari<.

This is all just conjecture though so take it with a grain of salt.

I know agents have lowered the cost to make a website to be a few cents for tokens and a couple dollars for a domain name, but isn’t all this a little excessive for a few line long markdown file!? Why not just display the ‘skill’ itself with a few lines commenting on what it does/how it helps?

I thought the webpage was a good read.

It’s provocative, it gets the people going

This is something I’ve seen before. Someone is registering domain names related to open source projects and then ‘creating’ slop websites about the projects. Not sure what the play is, or whether this falls into that category, but it’s really weird and takes control away from open source maintainers in a scary way. Maybe it’s extortion or maybe it’s an malware thing. I highly doubt it’s out of the goodness of someone’s heart.

Open source maintainers shouldn’t have to register their projects as trademarks/proactively register domains to avoid this, but that seems like the only strategy?

The new Framework Pro laptop is supposed to be pretty good. Anyone have any experience with it yet?

I have not tried it myself and I'm skeptical of reviewers on the topic of touchpad. I remember sitting next to someone who seemed to be using Photoshop in a MacBook professionally like literally making fine edits with a cursor more than ten years ago.

While I'm sure our track pads have gotten better, I doubt we have reached the level of Apple's track pads.

I don't know how much of an accolade I can give a USD 2k+ device for having almost the same trackpad experience as a USD 999 MacBook.
