Wonder by how much, if at all, this was inspired by or relates to the Ātman

Enrolling with/registering several devices. Webauthn is pretty cool if not a bit complicated.

For example, passkey on iPhone and on the same account register a second key such as a yubikey.

That’s how my github is configd, for example: my phone and MacBook can auth w OS passkeys. If I need to login on another host, like my windows host or in your example at the library, the yubikey is another registered hardware authenticator.

Worth adopting/looking into imo

I think plenty is fairly wonderful as well, in case it doesn’t go without saying.

Like many things that involve craft, if done right it’s great. If not done with care, broadly speaking the outcome is worse than not using it.

Why do people generally love AI?

Good luck with whatever you’re after.

Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur

There’s a lot one could try and point to.

Do you really have no idea? Do you not find valid some disdain for such technology?

Surely you appreciate our lack of free will, and how I have no choice but to leave this comment in the void as a sticker for the both of us to have as a token nod to such an existence.

One important facet of this is it’s not far from “giving unlimited juniors unlimited time…”

Where the limits are set by hardware for agentic execution (compute/network/storage) && inference speed

“Cursive knowledge”, as an old boss told me. Was incredibly ironic when he leaned into my misunderstanding.

Sounds necessary given they must to meet some utilization quota or risk termination.

Kinda like how cobras were bred once there was an incentive to turn in their heads lol
