alexjamesonon The safest job from AI may be writing

As a tech writer myself, I often hear from other tech writers around the world that they find themselves as editors for llm-written slop. The main problem is that even before llns, almost no senior manager understood what the TWs actually do. As a result, there is a strong desire to get rid of the editor team.(see the case of Snowflake when a team of 70 documentarians was let go in a single day).

The company I work for also encourages us to use agents as much as possible. Now, I spend more time in the terminal than in VS Code. However, the situation is different for those who work in regulated areas.

Most docs are here https://www.kimi.com/code/docs/en/kimi-code-cli/customizatio...

Not sure about the feature you mentioned but one can see in their app that they use IMF, World Bank, SEC EDGAR, and Yahoo Finance.

alexjamesonon Opinionated and easy Pi.dev configuration

Not necessarily. I had almost no idea what I was doing when I started using Pi. The goal was to learn harness engineering and understand how it feels like thinking about things that are provided in other harnesses by default.

It took time to learn all of these before I managed to do something similarly useful as OpenCode, and now I am ready to use some sane defaults for things that I really know I need in Pi.

alexjamesonon VPN ban update for UK households as government looks at 'age-gate'

OK, got it. But it's important to remember that avoiding restrictions gets harder and harder every year. You have to juggle several protocols, have backup proxies, think about TLS nuances, keep in mind that you are being tracked after all. Lots of casual users just gave up. It's not like we find a solution and it just works — one has to adapt to new restrictive measures continuously.

I just don't understand why some other people in such discussions still think that its only about children and weigh pro and cons when they have an actual example of all these things being implemented.

Let me tell you how it has been in Russia during last 15 years. WE saw targeted blocks that apply after cease and desist letters. Later they learned to block outgoing OpenVPN and wireguard for everybody except firms who applied to a special registry. Then they learned to cut Vless and Trojan and blocked all sites behind freaking Cloudflare due to ECH v3.0 enforced. Here also go proxies (specifically for Telegram'm MTProto) and other stuff like Quic.

The point is if they start — they can proceed way further than you can imagine now.
