I recently experimented with some image generation models and I was surprised at how much context/prompting is needed to get something that doesn't look Lovecraftian. There was seemingly no downside to adding more and more detail up to the limit. Prose sits between code and images in terms of fuzziness and I wonder if promptmaxxing is the winning strategy for technical documentation.
I've been thinking that fine-tuning a model to write differently shouldn't be that hard (tedious, perhaps) and if I had the resources I would consider doing it myself.
DS just handles ambiguity and my bursts of detail with much more grace. I'm only using "max effort" and the CoT is reasonable compared to GLM.
In another project (literally: "Untitled") of theirs they are explicit about motivation:

Maybe running your own OpenID service would work?

Too much work though. Easier to just switch to Nebula or Netbird and self-host the full stack.
gVisor felt a bit more "hacky" initially (at least compared to krun) but I will look into it a bit more as I saw someone else integrating it into their own setup.
My goal is to get 80% of the isolation for 20% inconvenience. Right now it feels like I'm getting 30-50% isolation for 10% inconvenience — I'm willing to tolerate a bit more friction if I can get a bigger jump in security.
I've been using (rootless) Podman which gives me some basic assurances that it will stay in its designated directory and not run tools on my system directly but I have no limits on the network and with an internal UID/GID of 0:0 I have not done myself any favours. This is the same level of protection one would implement to keep a poorly written bash script from wreaking havoc and that's about it.
All the others are as you'd expect.
I am curious about the limits of what one can expect this language to solve and therefore the types of programs/domains to which it is more/less suited. Why is determining quorum the canonical use case?
I don't understand how this is a problem. Isn't this already solved with keyservers and importing to a local keyring? My Linux distro has no problem keeping track of who is who and if they are trusted (not updating for a year or two would probably break things).

I think GitHub solves this by simply checking at the time of the push and then never again (which is why you can change the keys without de-verifying older commits. Doesn't git's design yield blockchain-like assurance that nothing in the past has been modified?

https://web.plc.directory/ looks interesting, never heard of it.
Personally, I think signed commits should be the default. This is especially true in the age of AI where distinguishing humans from machines becomes harder every day. I would love for encrypted email/IM and sharing keys to be the norm for everyone but we're not there and may never be.
