Exactly. There’s a distinction between knowing what will happen and having the power to make it happen. Omniscience is not omnipotence.

Even granting an LLM reasoning abilities far beyond our own, I don’t see how that gets us any closer to either. Calling such a system godlike seems less a statement about the capabilities of the system than about how little we’re demanding of the word “God.”

I switched a few years back and use Quadlets instead of compose now. Converting compose files to Quadlets is pretty mechanical once you get the hang of it.

Highly recommend Podman overall; there are some quirky edge cases, but for the most part it’s a smooth replacement for Docker.

If you don’t want to give up compose entirely, podman-compose exists. I just prefer Quadlets so I haven’t used it much myself.

Anecdotally we started exceeding the towing capacity of our Tacoma. As a result, in 2022 we purchased an F-150. In other words we bought the top selling vehicle because our hauling needs changed.

You must work at my company’s cyber security team. They’re convinced that the safest stuff is when that stuff is never allowed to exist in the first place. Which is probably true but in my opinion misses the point.

So for awhile I liked it and ate it. Then out of nowhere it turned into a thing that when I eat it I, without getting graphic, let’s just call it extreme digestive issues.

I wonder how frequently that occurs. Or am I just odd?

Would you be willing to share what that WiFi card is and where you got it from? (I have same device and I’m interested in getting another year from it)

I live on Merritt Island. Our power has been out since 6:30 this morning due to intense storms in the area. That having been said, it is currently sunny and calm.

Given what the weather has been like since Sunday I could see it being postponed. I hope the weather holds and gives a window.

Was that the freedesktop.org wiki?

I use mine everyday for signing Git commits and tags. Also as my SSH keys.

If it did that then it would potentially replace my YubiKey(s).

I personally have the nano version.

> but I assume it lacks the "touch" protection against remote attacks

It has the touch protection. There is a small strip of metal that protrudes beyond the USB port that you touch.

> what its durability

I've used it daily for about a year. Granted this is not "years" but so far it still feels very solid.

> Electricity isn't tangible.

Quibble. Electricity is tangible. Use your finger to complete a circuit. My bet you will perceive it by touch.

Where is the feature in GitHub that would show the languages used in a repository? That would be useful here regarding this comment.

(Note I have no doubt you are right. It would just be a useful metric.)
