Heres the chat https://chatgpt.com/share/696ac45b-70d8-8003-9ca4-320151e081...

very interesting. ChatGPT reasoned for 41 minutes about it! Also, this was one-shot - i.e. ChatGPT produced its complete proof with a single prompt and no more replies by the human, (rather than a chat where the human further guided it.)

This looks great, i've been wanting a dev sandbox that doesn't run the risk of costing a lot if I forget to turn it off.

I had a few issues

1. manpath: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct

suspect this is due to it inheriting locale from my local machine? easy to get around with some updates to .bashrc

2. the $SHELL environment in my sprite is `/opt/homebrew/bin/fish` I use fish on my local (mac + homebrew) machine and it seems to have inherited from my local machine, its nice to be using fish in the sprite, but seems weird that $SHELL in the sprite points to non-existent path. Slightly concerning that a local env var is being transferred to a remote machine without my explicit permission, I have some sensitive env vars locally.

Good point about quietly grabbing env vars, we can warn about that on first run. All it's getting are these:

  var envVars []string
    shellEnvVars := []string{
    "BASH_VERSION",
    "ZSH_VERSION",
    "FISH_VERSION",
    "KSH_VERSION",
    "tcsh",
    "SHELL",
  }

It's also reading terminfo. It's not handling absolute paths to shells properly, though.

If you want to skip this, running `sprite exec -tty /bin/bash --login` or similar avoids the magic.

I love this, could you add a licence for the cli code?

Done.

Seems fun that most of the huge engineering effort seems to have gone into making the device feel as if its not there, Passthrough, Persona, EyeSight, and most of the downsides in the review comes from the fact that the device is still there.

The device is a simulation of the dream device that can overlay UI on top of your vision without you looking any different to those around you, I wonder how far away that is.

I don't think it needs to be 100% not-there to reach full popularity, in the shape of glasses or a hat would be good enough, or perhaps something you can put on top of your regular glasses.

>How did they do it? As it turns out, crime. Unable to reverse engineer the chip, Tengen convinced the United States Copyright Office to hand over the source code of the lockout chip, claiming it was necessary for a lawsuit. With the code in hand, Tengen could make their own clone with ease. And Tengen was going to sue Nintendo for antitrust violations, so they probably figured they could get away with it.

Brilliant

I thought it was going to be a railgun

It can be if the magnet's strong enough!

Should read “The richest 10 percent”
