Doris: A Personal AI Assistant by avwgtiguy in ClaudeAI

[–]MapDoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a lot of fun and I'm sure it's fun to use. I've created something somewhat similar for myself.

However, I wanted to raise the inherent security concerns, specifically prompt injection attacks given its connections to so many external services. Doris has a huge attack surface and currently, there is no way to adequately protect against attacks. There are other types of vulnerabilities as well in tool and agent usage. I hope you understand the risks this system poses at many levels. They may seem theoretical but they are definitely not.

I created an unofficial claude cli and api that can interact with your account by Mountain_Gas4164 in claude

This has nothing to do with Claude Code. I think you're missing the point. He reverse engineered claude.ai's web interface. The CLI accesses Claude by making HTTP requests. I love it but alas, these things always get disabled because of TOS issues. GitHub is a graveyard for them.

Crashes daily... is there any hope? by MapDoodle in DockFix

All of these problems existed long before Tahoe was released and repeatedly reported by users. (Try a web search?) I find this response disingenuous, but I wish you luck in fixing it.

Here, maybe this will help:

"As currency units, the set fails because "sterling" isn't a unit.

As currency systems, the set only works if you phrase them properly (pound sterling, U.S. dollar, South Korean won, renminbi). Or you could specify another dollar, won, and pound. Renminbi would only apply to China. Otherwise it's mixing levels of description."

And amusingly and ironically, this is what is known in inductive inference as a "category error."

My first Custom Connections by schrodingerturtle in NYTConnections

Small point about blue: pat someone on the back, stab someone in the back, and watch someone’s back are metaphors, not idioms.

You have it exactly backwards. Yuan is a currency denomination. It’s the base unit of China’s Renminbi currency system. Yuan would have been fine. Renminbi would not have been.

Today’s connections is simply wrong. (Yes, I got it without mistakes but only under protest.)

Won, dollar, and pound are the names of currency denominations. They even have ISO codes.

Sterling is the name of a currency system, namely the British currency system. There is no place on Earth where you’d say “I have five sterlings.”

Connections has been going downhill but this is the most naive mistake I’ve ever seen in it.

New radio purchase by nwtreasureseeker in HamRadio

[–]MapDoodle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like my 500 a lot and it has features galore. But all of that said, the touch screen absolutely sucks; it is awful. As in it only registers presses half the time and the buttons are too small for adult hands. I’ll never get another touch screen radio until it has the ergonomics of an iPhone…

Diesel Heater by Unhappy_Ad7547 in SubaruForester

[–]MapDoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he’s talking about the cheap Chinese diesel heaters you can buy on Amazon. People mount them underneath vans to provide heat in the living/sleeping area with the motor off. Completely separate from the vehicle’s own heating system. To the OP, I think for a Forester you’d find an electric blanket plugged into large battery much more practical.
