Creator of Homebrew, the macOS package manager, and a Swift developer.
In a near-future-release of Automic Vault we have added ssh-agent support. Automatically allow ssh connections for trusted destinations. Require human approval for everything else. Human approval can happen on the iPhone app. eg. allow your Terminal automatically and deny your agents. You can delete the keys from ~/.ssh/ after import. Keys are properly encrypted in the keychain. Related

During the weekend I built a contextual search tool for a photo library with 42k images across 2.8k galleries. The results are amazing! Turns out the AI models that generate embedding vectors from images directly are BAD at capturing the image contents, so I had to first generate captions and then generate the embeddings for the captions instead. Total cost: $30 for both captions (gpt-5-mini) and embeddings (text-embedding-3-large with 3072 dimensions). OpenAI Related

Had a mini heart attack: contents of my iCloud drive disappeared... Somehow, still visible on https://t.co/56g50Dzvl1, on another computer, and on my phone - wtf is going on idk, but just in case, did a local backup and copying it over to my NAS. I've been putting it off to automate this for too long, will have to look into automating all that (already do it for photos btw) Related

Their words
The trust that they gained is the reason why they're a 70 billion dollar company today. But most leaders when asked to defend their principles can't do it because they've been taught ROI based thinking.

Founded PSPDFKit in 2011 and ran it for a decade. Came back from a break to work on AI agents — the OpenClaw project, and OpenAI, joined in February 2026. Writes at steipete.me.
I built an alternative to all the big players that can run fully local, where people own their data. I get hate. I picked OpenAI because they gave me better answers about encryption, responsibility and safety concerns for what I want to build next. I get hate. Quoting @mitsuhiko.at Reading some of the takes about Peter here and on X feels less like criticism and more like people shadowboxing their own hatred towards AI. Maybe good to remember that Peter is a real person and one that I know quite well. The criticism thrown his direction from some people is heavily misplaced. OpenAI Related

data centers
Their words
No, never. Telegram has never shared a single private message with anyone, including governments and intelligence services. If you try to access any server in any of the data center locations, it's all encrypted.

open source
Their words
You need reproducible builds in order to verify that the app really does what it claims, really encrypts data in a way that it is described on its website. For that you need to make your apps open source for any researchers to have a look at it.

Palaeontologist at Queen Mary University of London; studies dinosaur behaviour and writes about what the fossil record can and cannot tell us.
Their words
But this is the absolute rule of thumb for how foraging and growth and predation operate across everything from fish to starfish, praying mantises, all the way up to things like big cats via stuff like crocodiles. It's how it works. So it'd be very weird if it didn't also operate for dinosaurs. And then, as I say, we've actually got the direct evidence for this from bite marks and stomach contents. They're taking small stuff.

Nothing matches. Show everything
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
