Devcontainers are a much better solution, super easy to setup with VSCode and ensures the AI can't access your main machine.

Devcontainers are so useful when working with AI. Not only for rogue agents but rogue scripts/libraries they may download that try and exfiltrate your credentials.

I would love this for magic the gathering

Disappointed Topo Chico isn't included. I've tried sparkling water all over the world and it's my favourite.

I've had a full shakedown at the airport in Brisbane asking for passwords for phone/laptop and they will confiscate for 2 weeks if you don't comply. I'm an Australian citizen. They also didn't let me call anyone so my wife was left waiting for 3 hours wondering where I was.

They could give all nearby residents free/subsidized solar + battery for their homes.

This empowers people making them feel less beholden to rising energy prices, and gives the data center more energy for its needs as the grid is freed up.

Honestly Linux has been so much easier to use since Claude / codex came out. Now I don't need to remember esoteric commands or scroll old forums to fix issues, Claude does it all for me.

Been using ubuntu + regolith as my daily driver for over a year now and haven't needed to use windows for anything. Almost all games all work well on Linux now too.

I built something similar a few years ago where the idea was "jackbox but coop games". It was way jankier than this though.

Would love to port some of those game ideas to this platform when you open up the developer platform.

I use Obsidian with a "daily-planning" template that has a bunch of typical journaling prompts. I customize it over time, adding new ideas and removing boring bits.

Current sections are: - Things to remember - List of 10 important quotes/mantras - What's on my mind - How am I feeling productivity/mood wise today - What do I most want to accomplish? - What would make today horrible? - Gratitude - Something Mundane, something that happened by chance, something I made happen

Most programmers want to get some final output, they want the application or game rather than some beautiful code.

Most artists want to create beautiful art, it's a form of self expression. Creating art just for outputs sake without adding love seems cold and capitalistic.

So AI enhances and delivers what programmers want, and diminishes what artists want.

There's a service called Kleros that does exactly this

I wonder if it related to those studies showing couples have more of a shared memory, to manage tasks better. When playing memory games they tend to do much better than two strangers placed on a team.

What if this leads to less of a cognitive workout over time vs having to manage everything yourself which increases dementia risk?

I thought he was going to mention the stupidity of sites like Twitter that when you add SMS as a 2FA option you can now use that to bypass the password and so are vulnerable to sim hijacking, which given how incompetent phone company employees are makes your security weaker.

Always use an authenticator app or physical key, most sites that do SMS 2FA will then allow hackers to use it to bypass knowing your password.
