Over the weekend, I tried to get Claude to produce a relatively straightforward schematic for me using KiCAD’s Python API, and it seems wholly incapable of properly understanding the requests, working with symbol libraries, or handling any of the design apart from creating a bunch of labels and nets. It’s the first time I have seen it fail this badly at a task, and of course it cheerily says it’s doing all the things I asked it. Only when I open the KiCAD files it’s all nonsense.
Which now, 32GB goes for $300. Fucking insane. But prices will eventually come down as the enterprise and corpo scalpers realize AI is a losing deal for human replacement. Nvidia has already said as much.
They’re probably expecting biological weapons of mass destruction can be created without too much effort, so are curious to see all the nifty ways people can create biological weapons of mass destruction?
No. You get prompted something like “Application wants access to your Documents folder” and “Application wants access to your Downloads folder” on first attempt of each folder.
Not always though. Adobe’s apps seem to be able to do whatever fuck they want whenever they want. I want so badly to stop them from creating a bunch of bullshit files in my Documents folder but there simply is no way to do it.
My impression is that the revoked permissions do not persist. Rather, an interactive window running under the user’s name has implied access to the user’s home folders, regardless of what’s been set under “Files & Folders” (which still applies for background/non-interactive processes).
I could absolutely be missing something here, but the title would be accurate in saying, “MacOS ACLs aren’t terribly intuitive”. But I think the behavior they’re documenting is intended behavior.

No, that’s not true at all. Granting permission using the folder picker is required.
