Source for the "forever" part?

Storing JWTs as cookies is not that rare in practice.

A 6yo can not meaningfully give informed consent to ToSs or privacy polies of YouTube and Roblox so even supervised is ethically problematic depending on how it's done. Unsupervised is obviously not safe and I do not see anyone here arguing that.

> probably settle for automatic build system detection based on archive structure there

Please add knobs for the end user to manually configure this per package and global default before adding autodetection. As a user to is very frustrating to have to patch the package manager to override some well-intentioned automagic which didn't consider my setup or dig through sources to uncover some undocumented assumption. yarn is a cautionary example.

How about encouraging self-harm, even murder and suicide?

Moreso from the consent- and privacy angle.

I think it's a mistake beliving you can judge each persons character accurately from the beginning when entering a new social context.

Why is that interesting? Intuitively a worst-case could be a stream of n-1 unique elements out of n with the duplicate at the end, so there is no way around O(n) space. Any element could be the most common so you must keep them all.

That essay (pdf) looks like a better intro to OP main argument than OP itself: https://c8df8822-f112-4676-8332-ad89713358e3.filesusr.com/ug...

It fills in a lot of the blanks. I should have read it before engaging.

> Longtermism should not be confused with “long-term thinking.” It goes way beyond the observation that our society is dangerously myopic, and that we should care about future generations no less than present ones. At the heart of this worldview, as delineated by Bostrom, is the idea that what matters most is for “Earth-originating intelligent life” to fulfill its potential in the cosmos. What exactly is “our potential”? As I have noted elsewhere, it involves subjugating nature, maximizing economic productivity, replacing humanity with a superior “posthuman” species, colonizing the universe, and ultimately creating an unfathomably huge population of conscious beings living what Bostrom describes as “rich and happy lives” inside high-resolution computer simulations.

> This is what “our potential” consists of, and it constitutes the ultimate aim toward which humanity as a whole, and each of us as individuals, are morally obligated to strive.

I do not believe that this is either obvious, an accurate generalization of longtermism or backed by references (did I miss one?)

EDIT: Did miss the "noted elsewhere" link (pdf): https://c8df8822-f112-4676-8332-ad89713358e3.filesusr.com/ug...

Uhm, sure? By running simulations we can evaluate various scenarios. The results referenced in OP look applicable for modeling and evaluation. For BGP as well.

Any CS students out there looking for thesis material? :)

3-2-1 says you want both. Can be convenient to centralize backups on a local NAS and then publish to the cloud from there.

I have to object against reusing the 'data' var. Make up a new name for each assignment in particular when types and data structures change (like the last step is switching from strings to ints).

Other than that I think both styles are fine.

> The concept of verification and Bluesky's original mission of decentralization are two very at-odds concepts,

Not necessarily. Consider the PGP Web-of-Trust model. Centralization of trust is choice, nothing inherent in verification as such.

It would prevent MS from backporting new changes.

> Byzantine has I think been misused. It’s the least number of good members you need to be successful, not the best number.

Could you elaborate? It sounds like you are talking more about challenges of distributed consensus (elections, raft). What I have in mind is distributed peering algorithms for decentralized networks. No consensus, elections, or quorum required. You may wish to run consensus algos on top of such networks but that's one layer up, if you will.

Byzantine in the context of unpermissioned networks is often explained as the sybil problem, which maps to the issues you mention.

Applying OP to this setting wouldn't mitigate that but I'm thinking it can be used as a framework to model and reason about these systems. Perhaps even prove certain properties (assuming some form of sybil resistance mechanism, I guess).

Might be fruitful to apply this on p2p mesh networks. I suppose you should be able to make a model describing how the relationship between the fraction of byzantine nodes affects the probability distribution of connectedness. Then you could figure out what algorithm parameters would put you within desired bounds for tolerated ratios of byzantine.

If you love games that much, why not get a dedicated gaming device? One that you use purely for gaming and don't expose your non-gaming accounts or info on. There's no reason why the entertainment device and the personal communication device need to be the same one, right? Just like there is no reason why you should log in with your old hotmail account on your Xbox just because they are both MS.

Ideally it wouldn't even have an enabled web browser.

If you find yourself unable to do this, that's a sign that "love" is actually addiction which means the upside for actually decoupling is probably a lot bigger than you imagine if you disregard the idea.

More suitable analogues:

An obviously autogenerated ecard

An unsigned card

A robocall

A coupon for dinner instead of actually taking me out

Gifting me an airdrop of your ICO

> some formulaic letter, complete with all the required phatic flourishes

Why do you think that person reading your letter requires those phatic flourishes? Culturally I believe they serve as a form of proof-of-work: The effort is the point.

Written by an LLM, it becomes truluy valueless slop. Just don't generate the slop in the first place.

> I'd you're actually plowing though that slop yourself, you have only yourself to blame.

What a way to react to someone sincerely reading what you wrote them.

I don't want your computer to know everything about me, in fact.

Toshi Nx00/MG/MN are good picks. The company never failed us and I don't believe they've had the same kinds of controversies as the US competition.

Please don't tell everyone so we can still keep buying them? ;)

For Linux hosts on zfs, this coupled with explicit entry in sudoers is useful for remote zfs send/receive which requires root.

Prerendering was old-school back then, too.

Edge caching might not have been as prevalent but was hardly new technology.

> without any privacy or analytics concerns

Uhm, yeah, no. Less bloated JS usually means less concerns but privacy violations and tracking of visitors can very much happen on AMP. Some of that risk isn't removed, just shifted.

Looks neat!

What would be really valuable for us would be future support for other distros/repos.

A more unified interface for synchronized publishing across say dep/rpm/archlinux/alpine when we have multi-distro packages to build and publish.

iExec? https://docs.iex.ec/

Don't know if Golem is still around but they were/are doing something like that to commoditize GPU.

As with anything crypto there's a fractal of vaporware but at least those two had/have something.

What's the client interoperability story look like in practice for EVM? Ie how much work if any is required to start using an existing Eth wallet implementation with [name-redacted] (using the "compatibility ECC layer" I assume?) besides pointing an RPC URL with the right networkID? Are semantics and API for smart contracts similar enough that this would even make sense?

Not everything needs to be monetized. Those kinds of things I just publish on a git repo somewhere to "give back" considering how much I benefited from others doing the same. That can also help you build personal brand and reputation, I guess.

If you do decide to charge for it (and no shame in that), could be nice if you also support people paying you anonymously via crypto.

Sorry but if an expected $9k expense is hurting to the point that you are seriously considering such risky and costly (what's your time and attention worth?) plays... Do have any buffers or margins? It sounds naive to just expect everything to work out within budget when you're trading cross-border. Hopefully you can address that before you grow further in other dimensions.
