It feels like Vance is playing the part of Edith Bolling Galt Wilson in protecting Trump from the 25th amendment (then Article II), but he absolutely sucks at it.

Well, I used 3.5 via Cursor to do some coding earlier today, and the output kind of sucked. Ran it through 3.7 a few minutes ago, and it's much more concise and makes sense. Just a little anecdotal high five from me.

Yeah, I have already done some of this. I hadn't read Wired in years, but rewarded them with a subscription as soon as they revealed the identity of Elon's minions.

The inevitable consequence of misconfigured Watchtower disease, I suppose. I pay for Docker because I like all of their products, and their private registry + scout is good, so I can go on misconfiguring all of the things!

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I personally lend at least some degree of credence to their claim, given that this is Microsoft we're talking about and not some startup.

If their claim is true, then would that present an issue to RSA encryption? I find it difficult to find information on this topic that is digestible to a layman.

My understanding is that the benefit of quantum computing is parallelism, and I'm not sure how today's encryption standards would be safe from brute force attacks.

Can you expand on this? I find this topic difficult to find solid information on, for some reason.

Your default assumption should be ill intent when it comes to information security, my friend.

RSA in trouble when?

Kagi is well worth the money. Just converted my monthly sub into an annual. It just flat out works better than any other search engine I've come across. Also, the ability to just filter/weight sites that it returns is incredible. I'm not sure how Google is this far behind at search, but here we are.

It will eventually come when machine eyes are better than human eyes. Replace the eyeballs with a processing unit connected to optics, use the body's energy through a connection to the eye stalk.

Marketing: Your vision will be much better, but the downside is that you're going to need to eat two pints of ice cream every day. Or if you want to lose weight, just eat one pint of ice cream every day.

Obsidian has a spaced repetition community plugin that I use when I write documentation. I add a flashcard for everything that I want to learn.

So you just put #flashcards inline (or whatever you tell it to look for) at the bottom if your file.

And then:

This is a question::this is the answer. This is another question::this is another answer.

I run through my cards about 30 minutes before I start work. It works very well.

I would assume that they have known Elon Musk is a fraud longer than the general public, and want to position themselves in the market before Tesla inevitably collapses.
