The wizzard of OS runs a might elephant graveyard for hype products.

It's not ready yet, but I vibe on an os flavor for agents and humans (and local ai) based on debian.

Well that's an actual OS, though you might be better off making packages to install your solution on to standard Debian / Ubuntu?

Yes perhaps when I have its features all built out I'll make it packages

It isn't the only wrong thing they're calling it. They're also calling it a successor to sandstorm.io, which it clearly is not.

Eh? Why do you feel it's inaccurate to call it a successor to sandstorm.io?

FWIW I saw the original posts, knew who wrote them, and know that Cloudflare OS is open source. It's because Sandstorm is about running anyone's apps, while where you introduce it you say this:

> the AI cannot introduce a significant security bug

That suggests running your own apps, which is a different thing.

For the record.

I am the lead engineer on Cloudflare OS (and Cloudflare Workers).

I am also the creator of Sandstorm.io.

And I'm the one calling it a successor. Wasn't some marketing decision -- that's directly from me.

Honestly really interested to know why you feel this isn't accurate.

FWIW, I didn't choose the name Cloudflare OS -- but I did frequently describe Sandstorm as being an OS, back in the day. Sure, it layers on top of Linux, but it's an environment where you install apps and run them, with the platform managing the execution environment, permissions, resource management, etc. That's sort of what an OS does. Cloudflare OS does all that as well.

Awww, I was hoping GP would respond before they realized who they were responding to, could have been a classic exchange in the vein of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35079

If you go up a level and read the other parts of that discussion, it's quite rewarding.

I didn't know about Sandstorm, but you might have an easier way conveying this by stating "Created and inspired by Sandstorm.io and its creator." I think the "inspired by" remark is easier for most to understand, and it sells it more if you point out that you're its author.

As for the name, yeah, not really a fan as I noted above.

FWIW none of Cloudflare's marketing material mentions the Sandstorm connection, it was something I said in personal tweets:
