@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI hope to get the 26.3 to 26.4 source release updates out this week. I ended up spending last week moving back to 1Password (because the nightlies support native autofill now on macOS), so I didn’t get much else done.01:25:17
@emilazy:matrix.orgemilywait does that mean 1Password in Safari isn't the worst thing ever any more?01:43:49

@emilazy:matrix.orgemilylooks like it's still the worst thing ever01:48:46
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrodehttps://downloads.1password.com/mac/1Password-8.12.18-15.NIGHTLY-aarch64.zip is the last one that works.02:39:14
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeThey’ve made some changes in the more recent nightlies that broke the integration.02:39:55
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeIt’s still WIP, but it fills passwords, passkeys, and 2FA codes via the native autofill. (One big limitation is creating a passkey can’t be added to an existing account. It works on iOS, so presumably not implemented yet.)02:40:28

In reply to @viraptor:tchncs.de
That's a scary view. But in practice you can disallow running any commands and check the changes made. In that scenario it's not different from finding a solution from an unknown source on discourse. Just don't YOLO things. Hallucinations as such are extremely rare if you're running against an existing repo these days.
It is still very different because a human source on discourse etc will usually reply only when they know what they're doing and answer one technical question, that you, another human re-contextualize into your situation. Because communication is hard. The LLM will confidently and happily overreach by "trying" to do everything for you because it's calibrated to look useful and give long ass answers

@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpeLLMs aren't an inert tool on your desk that works in a precise way, engineer3d for one job and does it well. They're an attempt of solve-all-the-things, and if you're not running an open source model on your machine, also come with a gazillion sketchy incentives attached to the ones working on the LLM itself11:20:12

@alexfmpe:matrix.orgalexfmpeIn particular, solve-all-the-things isn't something that's doable, and we've known this since 1920s. So unless you solved the halting problem, allucinations will not be rare11:22:05

@lukzmu:matrix.orglukzmu set a profile picture.13:45:51
@lukzmu:matrix.orglukzmuHello. I've created a MacOS specific configuration for Darwin + Home Manager. Packages are managed by both Nix (or Lix) and Homebrew due to many different reasons. It also supports using more than one Darwin configuration, with profiles and more. Maybe someone will find it useful: https://codeberg.org/lukzmu/nix-macos14:49:24

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeDoes Mesa 21.1.0 build on Darwin?22:47:58
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeNo. It times out like it has been for me tracking HEAD. I have a patch. Just making sure 21.1.0 builds.23:56:43
