I feel this is overly pessimistic. Perhaps see it this way then; it is now easy and cheap to throw money at a Thing.

Society is bottlenecked by the limited amount of experts it can muster. That is increasingly less the case.

This is a really cool use case!

Taste.

I believe we (software engineers) have tried hard to eliminate taste in programming: linters, git message styles, you name it. And I think that's a good thing. Taste is not transferable. Consistent code is.

Is there an alternative?

You are right. If the hand is doing a specific task, better morphologies are likely. But that's not always desirable. The canonical example is of course the household. I don't want X robots, I want 1. And I don't want to change anything. Robot hand!

I don't believe they are. Sodium is less reactive than lithium.

What I see most engineers do is parallelize. Have multiple agents work at the same time. It takes some time getting used to, but I think they are on to something.

There's even an article I read about this the other week, but I can't seem to find it ATM.

Yeah, that is a shame. Couldn't find something similar unfortunately.

I used something similar in the past. Loved it. User wants their data? Bang! Here's the entire database. User deletes their account? `rm username.sql` and you're done. Compliance was never easier.

Holy cow, that guy is intense! Also: cool stuff! I know what I have my neighbor print for me.

What? That's fantastic news! I've been uncomfortable handling receipts ever since (a long time ago) I learned about BPAs in them.

Holy hell, that was fast! I'm gonna spread this far and wide.

The one feature I'm always missing is password protection; I don't want everyone to see my travel pictures.

This is a very valid point.

You can see this at play with the support of the Ukraine. Billions are being tossed around but how much 'punch' does that dollar have when it reaches the frontline? Does it even get there at all? Is 10B in American aid even close to 10B in Estonian aid?

If the third party is a government (any random three letter agency) none of your opsec matters. Move to Russia as Snowden did.

None of these are sold anymore in the country where I live. They are all optical nowadays.

You think BSDs are next-in-line? Why is that? I have the distinct impression BSDs will remain niche. Something radical (like MotorOS?) seems more likely.

And now it's your job to figure that out!

SECO = Second stage Engine CutOff.

You and me both brother. LSP integration seems the way forward.

I was stumped when reading this. But it appears to be true!

Same setup as me! I do miss out on the AI integrations (copilot etc), that I find a shame.

I, too, use just a lot in a very off handed way. My memory isn't great and I just toss commands in a projects justfile which I occasionally need. Yes, a readme would work to a degree too, but a justfile is runnable code. That beats dead documentation everytime.

All trains in the Netherlands have a first class option. Mostly used by business people.

With regard to this:

> - On the wire/protocol stuff. We're doing pretty rudimentary "open new connection, stream voice, POST somewhere". This adds extra latency and CPU usage because of repeated TLS handshakes, etc. We have plans to use Websockets and what-not to cut down on this.

I've recently used the Noise protocol[1] to do some encrypted communication between two services I control but separated by the internet.

It was surprisingly easy!

I love money flowing into these projects. More = better. Nothing is lost. WORST case scenario: some intelligent people will learn new stuff and get to know like minded people.

Who knows what they will come up next!

Is that feeling of yours actually founded in reality?

You can have a look! https://hackermoods.com/

How is it human hostile?

The intensity of moon light is on an entirely different level than street lights.

There's little spam at the moment. There will be. But at that time the relays (pieces of server software that relay nostr messages) can step in and implement spam control via whatever they see fit. Perhaps some smart filtering, perhaps pay a few sats to have a message relayed or perhaps some real name policy. Clients can pick a (set of) relay(s) which fit their preference best. Or not, and accept the default.

The protocol is surprisingly simple to read [1], many relays and clients exist already.

I exchanged messages with a friend of mine who was using a very different client and it just worked!

Personally I like the fact that you can 'like' posts by sending a couple of sats via Lightning. I think it is a great motivator to write thoughtful, quality content.

Currently nostr is radical, weird and unpolished. The Amethyst client is slow at times. But the pace of development is incredible.
