+1. That’s basically what I want too: npx skills but for Python.
For now BoxLite is the isolation/runtime layer; the “skills registry + one-liner runner” is a thin wrapper we can add (e.g. pipx boxlite && boxlite run <skill>). If you have a preferred UX, I’m all ears.
It never ceases to amaze me that people who should understand the magnitude of this technology the most are sometimes the slowest to get it. It's programmable cash. Uncontrollable. Dis-intermediated.
This looks awesome! I'm super excited to take it for a spin I confused about how to actually run this on a Mac.
I downloaded source and stepped through the 3 steps on the website:
brew install enchant, pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt, pip3 install --user pyobjc
What do I do now? There is no dmg created or further instructions. Adding a dmg to the site would really open up your potential users.
Does this mean that you can only share files with people who have Dropbox accounts? Typically, I would just give out a link to something in my public folder. If so, this changes a lot.
The author should not have included that sentence in the editorial. It simply isn't relevant. That said, your comment doesn't address his criticism of gratuitous fines and the bail system, which is entirely credible.
It's intrinsic to existence that no two people start on equal footing. One will be smarter, another will be a harder worker. Your rule would mean no form of capitalism is permissible at any point. I think at some point parents must have stopped informing their children that life isn't fair and deal with it.
That's very easy to swallow when you are born on the upper end of the scale. Not so much when you are born to a single mother on a Flint MI ghetto or when you are born gay in Nigeria, or a girl on war-torn Sudan.
Just because you are comfortable on middle-upper class doesn't mean you can't be objective about this things. That some kids are born into wealthy families and some are born in sub-Saharan Africa and forced to mine minerals for the former's iPad until they are 15 and keel over is undeniably wrong. But it's what arises from capitalism.
