"People cannot change their mind!

One must stick to old assertions forever!

Giant foot is gonna squish us!"

...this forum is as bad as a single backwater sub Reddit.

I am so sick of emotionally frail software engineers. I don't know why I keep bothering floating back here every once in a while to see what is up.

Same old rustled jimmies over technology evolution like back during the emacs and vi! tabs vs spaces! Sysv init vs systemd!

Super hero power scaling message boards are more engaging than this site.

AI save us from these needlessly economically empowered labor exploiting non-contributor script kiddies. Such an unserious community.

Ok private 1:1 wireguard and syncthing or rsync all the way down then

Softlink data to the appropriate mount

The options are endless and tech nerds can 1:1 help friends and family

Locking the knowledge into corporate silos is a huge security risk. The masses should be just as competent and informed so they don't panic

Minority say over the economy and government is just fascism. These people are not deities. They're normal meat and bone

We have processes to replace politicians and workers; we need processes to replace the rich.

Free speech is a circular right and there is no freedom from consequences of speech. They can face consequences too

Yeah so I run my agents as a different user that do not have write perms to my /home

Then I can diff what they wrote with my copy

Users are the OG container. On Linux it's possible to constrain a user to a network namespace, cgroups.

BPF can be used like docker compose to ensure a service running under a user is running

TL;DR a lot of the userspace cruft we import to run software has been rolled into the kernel over the last 10-15 years.

Ignore the terminology "user". Under the hood all the same constraint and boundary setting you want exists without downloading the entire internet

So they should use bit torrent.

IMO personal security would only be improved if we diversified away from "the open web".

"Flood the field" with protocols and pre-shared key networks where we have to generate keys together in meat space, make it too expensive to operate the panopticon.

Everyone putting their eggs in the open web basket, gathering in that public commons means all it takes is one bomb on us all, so to speak.

No. This is nonsense.

Some SaaS apps had issues.

The Internet was fine.

This is physical reality. The internet was designed to route around this.

Just because some app devs do a lazy job doesn't mean the entire infrastructure as designed is garbage.

Just because some app devs are over reliant on a single cloud service doesn't mean the Internet is broken.

That's why I wrote time will tell.

The uncertainty of political order in the near term could make having fabs on their home turf as worth the security.

Learn now, collaborate as preparation in case certain criteria politically, financially, are met.

Time will tell but with Ternus taking over, a hardware and engineering mindset, could be going for a long term learn and build together, and of Intel can get it together and go where Apple needs, later buyout Intel.

Lip-Bu Tan is a year older than Tim Cook. Doubt he wants to run Intel for very long.

Would be hard for me in the Ternus role to not have that in mind if Intel gets it together.

I like to constrain it as much as possible to ignore variables and function names; the human stuff.

With a new code base my first goal understand how it CRUDs state. What structures and what operations?

Less concerned at the outset if its sorting carrots or processing orders for shirts.

AI seems to work way better for me when I tell it to ignore the use case and focus on surfacing runtime and mathematical operations embedded in the code.

Constraints on new abstraction and telling it to stick to math terms and types and objects also seems to help avoid hallucinations and layers of useless indirection.

Yep. This is why I am using local AI to edit and build my own copies of Linux kernel, Wayland... everything a distribution would ship really.

Not so daunting for me having come of age when compiling a kernel specific to a hardware platform was essential.

Custom software that does not fit the usual patterns is not fool proof but it won't be obvious.

Monocultures with all their eggs in one basket are even less secure than truly diverse ecosystems though.
