But "fully airgapped systems" are more than realistic. The labs are testing the limits of the most capable cyber offense systems that have every existed, WITHOUT cyber protection guardrails.

For that purpose, any cyber operator worth their salt will tell you true physical airgaps are more than merely "realistic"; they are categorically necessary.

Microsoft and Linux /do/ offer the same path to productivity. Buy 10-20 computers, zero config, native discovery services, download apps.

What businesses need is management services and business applications. Those exist for Apple as well, but two significant headwinds: 1) inertia of essentially every major business on earth using MS Active Directory means there are enormous support and ecosystem benefits, and 2) cost.

To gently push back, there are absolutely accountants and roofers who dedicate their free time upskilling or in adjacent hobbies. Many (perhaps most?) other fields have are conferences and journals, certifications, prestige jobs and grindhouse jobs, side hustles, and all the other trappings that feel unique to us. I'm not saying the distribution curve is the same, but it's easy to think this field is more unique than it really is.

And to the counterexample, the country is full of developers who just want to do their 40 hours and go home to their entirely unrelated life and hobbies. Incidentally, I have a friend who just got a job like this. He's the only developer in a regional materials company, and he loves being done with work at 5 (usually closer to 4) so he can go hang out with his kid.

They make long articles to maximize ad exposure and SEO. It's good faith --they're doing what they have to to make money with the underlying tech ecosystem-- but it's not a good outcome.

LLMs are shifting that ecosystem (at least temporarily) and new revenue models will emerge. It'll take time to figure out. But we shouldn't artificially support a bad system just because it's the existing system.

Transitions are always awkward. In the meantime, I'm inclined to give people rope to experiment.

The celebrity crypto phenomenon has spread to world leaders on three continents. Tracking the pattern seems worthwhile - open to suggestions and thoughts.

I LOVE this. I'd love a correspondence mode so I can play over the course of a few days (or even PBeM if you wanna go old school).

At the risk of taking the fun out of this, you can recover "failed" text.

After you fail, close the tab. Then restore the closed tab from browser history. Your text should rest ahead of the prompt.

>Assuming that "rich" means "don't need to work at all, for the rest of your life, to keep a roof over your head and food on your table," none of what you listed require being rich.

Yup, I believe that's their point. If you realize the reason you want to be rich can be had for less cost than actually becoming rich, you can save yourself a lot of time and stress.

Anecdotally, I cut my salary by 60% this year to directly pursue what I wanted, instead of saving to do it years later. I suppose I may regret it some day, but at this point I'm confident it was the right choice.

Theology is a broad term and includes the anthropology of religion, history, and philosophy. Many atheists study theology in good faith.

> Tip: if you care about maximizing the quality of your dietary supplement, research and buy each ingredient individually, and then mix it all up yourself.

That defeats my primary use case for MRP: not needing to think about nutrition. I hate cooking, I hate cleaning, and eating out all the time feels wasteful. I just want quick, healthy meals with a decent shelf life.
