ohh, nice! would appreciate you sharing things! (though mb ideally in a more inspectable form than full apks—like smth like patches if possible?)

I expect the situation with AI cyber capabilities will seem extreme to security professionals and to maintainers of commonly-used software that tries to be secure (e.g. Chrome, Linux, etc), but will have almost no direct effect on random people in the US and won’t even have much effect on software engineers at big tech companies.
I’m curious why this is your intuition around this, as there are many avenues for people to be affected (breaches in the web services people use, ransomwhere, etc) downflow of easier availability to discover and string vulnerabilities together
Are you implementing assistant interfaces/replacing gemni, or doing something like always-on foreground service/smth else?
Say “Hey Exo”, phone beeps
I find this detail interesting, I haven’t realized that one can set up a custom always-listening voice-command thingy on Android? (that works from lock-screen)
Ty for links! I feel like for Claude—native remote access is getting solid already, and they’re clearly working on it. I loathe Codex Web though and hope “happy” can provide a better UX for that (though on initial trial it just got stuck after first message 🙈).
Did you already have a desktop that you used for this, or did you do a new hw setup?
I keep thinking about having a server where I’d run ai coding agents. Why: always on for recurring tasks (that would use my discount tokens 🙃) + I can send messages to them from my phone + better isolation vs running things directly on my laptop (but still some scoped access)
Do people do this/what’s your setup? (I’m vaguely aware of the Mac mini OpenClaw meme, but I’m not particularly interested in running local models, so doesn’t seem like the best fit?)
Use an eight digit PIN for your phone.
Curious about this recommendation. Is this suggestion preferred over biometrics + a more secure underlying passphrase?
I’m curious to potentially replicate this system, can you describe how it works in more detail?
Over the last week I’ve been iterating on my SRS practice in @RoamResearch I present to you Rememo—a roam/memo (by @JoseBrowneX) compatible standalone app. It connects to your graph and lets you review your cards without waiting for Roam to load 🙃
Find it at https://stvad.github.io/rememo/
I’ve historically used daily-page oriented SRS approach, I’ve implemented in roam-toolkit, but over time I’ve become more overwhelmed with the amount of things showing up on the daily page. I still use and endorse this approach for Programmable attention items.
But for actually memory oriented cards that don’t have a reason to be on a specific day page it’s less of a fit. So I’ve been experimenting with migrating those to roam/memo. But the fact that Roam takes forever to load is a big point of friction for doing incremental practice.
Hence Rememo—loads fast & allows you to sneak in reviews on the go
Vlad Sitalo’s Shortform
Seems pretty dead, unfortunately =\
see the screenshots in the next block
this didn’t get cross-posted fyi
Curious what is the tool that you’re using to generate this?
As someone who spends a lot of time social dancing (WCS, tiny bit of Fusion) - all of my experiences of doing it to the live music have been bad to mediocre (though I imagine it can be different for other dance styles)
I use Firefox for most of my daily browsing. The main reason I wouldn’t want to switch to Chrome at this point is the browser extension Tridactyl, which allows me to use Vim shortcuts not only for my window manager and my editor, but ALSO in my browser :). There’s Vimium, but it is far inferior in its configurability and features.
Check out Surfingkeys—it’s my preferred version of this type of extension for both FF & Chrome (I primarily use FF)
They are past season now, but highly recommend people trying mulberries if you can find them.
(They are hard to find in the US, and usually only available on farmer’s markets in season)
I’ve been thinking about a similar thing for myself https://vlad.roam.garden/Am-I-being-over-stimulated-by-audio-content and trying to scale down various uses of casual intellectual simulation audio content (did you know you can listen to things in the shower by using the waterproof earbuds 😅)
Curious on the current state of things here! have you tried this with newer headsets/is there anything better then immersed out there now/any other updates?
ah, apologies, I didn’t reply to this immediately and then forgot 😅
Number of notes a day?
I don’t really have a good stats here but ~5 seems like an avg day but there is a lot of variance
Reviewing and processing notes:
Generally I try to look over inbox notes daily, but don’t have a super specific trigger. They end up on today’s page in my note-taking up (which is now custom vs Roam). And so also get noticed somewhat naturally bc that’s a default landing point.
For things that want further attention they get scheduled for another review at a later date (often using SRS)
Ratio between rejected and actioned notes
I have this gray zone in between—things that are not actioned immediately but come back for review at exponentially decaying rate: https://notes.andymatuschak.org/zPpaHZYKuBPyoDtgcsiZ9RV
Andy’s also had some work later on developing inklings incrementally that seem related to this
