"This is why banks are regulated, though I have no idea if/whether these platforms are regulated in any similar way."

Yep... that's why banks have never been robbed, never been hacked, and neer lost money! ;)

Wasn't it even a central bank that was hacked into a couple of months ago?

Thank god for regulation!

True for OP and true for Linus Torvalds. Is the solution to stop with open source, and never to publish anything? ;)

This is the way! It is absolutely amazing that the supposedly "brilliant brains" at lesswrong and other similar outfits, have not learned about the difference between an interpretation and a theory.

Since QM goes beyond our material world intuitions, I am personally loathe to clothe nrs in words, until we have more and better experiments. I think prematurely translating it into material-level intuitions just leads to a waste of time and much confusion.

What are you missing? Just write a bot that pulls interesting content into gopher, and start filling it. Since the protocol is so easy, nothing could be easier.

Excellent answer. Thank you very much. I will keep this in mind when the next life cycling of my current laptop happens. I will keep an eye on the core teams laptop experiments as well if there's anything about that available. Will search the mailinglists.

Is it possible to get a modern filesystem with openbsd or are they still stuck in the past? Also, is it possible to run openbsd without jumping through hoops on a laptop from 2025 including suspend, graphics, web browser?

I want this to be the case, because the more Linux petrifies, the more a free BSD option is needed.

Now add 100s or 1000s wounded at the same time, some can heal, and go back out to fight, some cannot, some will die during transport. The drone might be shot down, some areas are cleared. Simple? Not at all.

Don't feel bad. It is not about skill in those job, it is about "cultural fit". You must project a personality that will fit in with FAANG culture or you won't get the job unless you're famous globally due to having starting some huge open source project.

Comfort yourself with the fact that you did not have to sell your soul, sit through endless woke sexual harassment videos where you are taught that the white man is the source of all evil, and in endless management meetings.

Wonder if this will then be used to fulfill the dream of shooting ice bullets which then melt inside the victim, leaving less evidence. If memory serves, I think the CIA explored this at some remote point in time.

Ahh yes, the extreme intellectual humility of lesswrong and the EA guys! ;)

Did I write that the two parts were connected? If not, stop making stupid remarks and learn how to think.

Maybe. We'll discuss it at the next board meeting and will let you know. // The Management
