Access to the Play Store requires the proprietary Google Play Services code, so I doubt this has it. The alternative would be installing apps via APK files.
According to Wikipedia,there are apps that provide an emulated Android environment ("Easy Abroad", "Droitong"), they're incomplete and glitchy, and a lot of important apps won't run at all (including banking apps and streaming services).
been great maybe 5 years ago. Just migrated all of my projects from poetry to uv and it's been a big productivity boost for everyone: myself, agents, my CI and CD
The big events that shatter everything to smithereens aren't that common or really dangerous: most of the time you can lose something, revert and move on from such an event.
The real unmitigated danger of unchecked push to production is the velocity with which this generates technical debt. Shipping something implicitly promises the user that that feature will live on for some time, and that removal will be gradual and may require substitute or compensation. So, if you keep shipping half-baked product over and over, you'll be drowning in features that you wish you never shipped, and your support team will be overloaded, and, eventually, the product will become such a mess that developing it further will become too expensive or just too difficult, and then you'll have to spend a lot of money and time doing it all over... and it's also possible you won't have that much money and time.
Yes, I was SRE at Google (Ads) for several years and that influences my work today. SRE was the first time I was on an ops team that actually was completely empowered to push back against intrusive external changes.
> There’s honestly so much material in the resulting notes created by Claude that I haven’t reviewed all of it
I've had the same "problem" and feel like this is the major hazard involved. It is tricky to validate the written work Claude (or any other LLM) produces due to high levels of verbosity, and the temptation to say "well, it works!"
As ever though, it is impressive what we can do with these things.
If I were Simon, I might have asked Claude (as a follow up) to create a minimal ansible playbook, or something of that nature. That might also be more concise and readable than the notes!
The only actual hope is a common European defence policy (and industry) independent of NATO. The day Germany agrees to it, the dominos might fall, and the USA might realise what it has lost.
I mean, the US was paying for the ability to project both force and influence all over the world. Clearly, the US isn't willing to pay for either thing at the moment.
Germany where 20% of the population currently votes for AfD? I don't think they should get to have an army until they can figure out how not to use it for evil. They should have a lot of defence treaties and pay for them, though.
The same thing will happen: skilled people will do one thing well. I've zero interest in anything but Claude code in a dev container and, while mindful of the lethal trifecta, will give Claude as much access to a local dev environment and it's associated tooling as I would give to a junior developer.
Honestly I've generated some big ISH codebases with AI and have said so and then backed off when asked.. because a) I still want to try to establish more confidence in the codebase and b) my employment contract gleefully states everything I write belongs to my employer. Both of those things make me nervous.
That said, I have no doubt there are also bots setting out to generate FOMO
A more innocent time tbh
