You're changing the argument. I'm just pointing out China does the same thing, even worse, threatening a US President. As far as I'm aware the US Navy hasn't threatened the Chinese leadership. You said they didn't do anything to deserve it, I'm saying yes they did. They brought this on themselves.
That is probably an option, but I would have some practical concerns. I know Linux is multi-user, but given the majority of systems are single-user, I wonder how well modern software deals with that kind of environment.

1) Can I run the project-user account within my real account? Having to launch a DE as the dedicated guest would quickly grow old as I need to multi-task work, and each account would need all sorts of common configuration (browser, email, chat applications, credentials to server X). Which would end up leaking many secrets to the project-account. If I can run the project-account within my real account - do all GUI apps work? Can I launch VS Code as the project-user without issue? Or will extensions make some assumptions about logged in user vs user account running the application and bork things?

2) How good do I have to be in my op-sec? Running a project-account is going to encounter friction where some resource is "local" to my real account but denied to the project-account. What do I have to do to give limited peak to that data? How easy would it be to slip up and make the entire exercise a charade because I screwed up the isolation?

Running a VM is probably little different, but I think the isolated-by-default would make the security boundaries more clear and maintainable. Especially since the VS Code Remote Extensions (the best part of the platform) should make this kind of workflow more practical.

You likely know what I'm talking about, tab pinning is broken in all mainstream browsers, it isn't broken in Arc. In addition, you can pin groups of multiple tabs tilled side by side (not very useful without a wide screen, but still)
This isn't so much to build on your idea directly, but maybe some additional fodder will help further inspire ideas and yet more food for thought (for myself as well, and better yet, anyone else)..

I recently realized I can use a $15 USB capture card with an HDMI input on the other end to snag the video feed of a Pi or anything else that can output HDMI. As I use Linux, you can tap into the /dev/video<number> device as if it was a camera, using VLC/OBS. (There's also a paid app on Play store that allows me to also do this on my phone as the display side, using OTG. Would love to be able to use my tablet running a de-Googled LineageOS as well, but that'd entail figuring out how to crack/patch out Google's license checking library, and I haven't found any FOSS alternatives, ugh.)

From there, making the (my) dream happen would be if there was some convenient way to use the same device that's tapping into the video out as the keyboard/mouse input, much in the modal way of VMWare/VirtualBox, where it overtakes your input, and using the hotkeys to release when you want to switch back to your tasks on the host.

In particular, I have a Flipper Zero that doesn't get real use beyond novelty functions and have been wondering if that (or something like a ESP32/ESP8266 computer) could help facilitate that. My skillset is nowhere near that close to the metal.

At least, re: your post I'm piggybacking, and coming from knowing the capabilities of the Flipper Zero, I wonder if RubberDucky/BadUSB payloads could bring you any closer to meeting the spirit of your goal. Or, some sort of rsync like mechanism baked into the Pi when it (automatically) connects to a detected, saved network. Or, a RubberDucky/BadUSB payload on-demand to fire off an rsync.
My guess would be gsuite

This has been solved pretty easily in literally every other developed country in the world. You show up to the ballot office, present some form of recognized identification, and your name is scratched off a list. If you want to be fancy, you can centralize the list. Having some basic form of identification is a prerequisite to being an at all involved member of society.
While I believe much of what you argue is correct, I do unfortunately also believe that ultimately you are incorrect:

For the non-techy part of the population, and certainly eve a percentage of the techy part of the population, there will be those who don't have an hour out of their daily lives to play around and discover the limits of chatgpt etc.

Worse still, an even larger portion of that crowd, even if they have an hour to spare, just... won't.
Playing around with an LLM just isn't something most people would find entertaining or enlightening enough to do out of their own volition.

What I find more likely to happen, is that the members of above crowd will instead slowly, over time, get the occasional dose of exposure of an interaction with an LLM, and as long as the response yielded isn't batshit crazy, these people will likely develop a growing sense of confidence in these LLMs.

At that point, it will likely be very difficult proving to them that the LLMs are far from perfect.

I basically agree, with defining upper class as able to live on interest on inherited income and not having to work. The super rich tech founders don’t neatly fit into this class system because they have sometimes even more money than the old rich, but worked and still work and don’t have the upper class cultural attitudes.

And it’s understandable that parents do it, because their jobs kinda demand it, and their bosses are not ok with them missing work to watch after their sick kids

I did not do so because I did not think anybody would misinterpret my statement as you did. I instead expected them to interpret it as the first person who replied to you did who found it obvious what I was talking about. It is in fact shocking to me that literally anybody would assume that I was declaring that they must prove that it is absolutely perfectly safe in a mathematically provable manner as that would mean that the reader thought I was such a blithering idiot that I can not even propose a minimally coherent argument.

I used extra words because I was expressing the core principle of certification which is to demonstrate to a third party that you achieve some set of agreed upon requirements. I did this because there is no current specific safety certification for autonomous vehicles, so I must appeal to the general principle underlying all safety certifications which is that you must demonstrate "safety" whatever that happens to be and that a product is not assumed "safe" by default.
Same. With me, I started on an Apple after a brief look at a TRS-80 a neighbor had.

>Guns… most of those are suicides, and that stat is uniquely American in terms of developed countries.

That seemed unbelievable to me, so I had to do some checking. The CDC[0] put 48k suicides in 2021, and attributed 55% to guns. Leaving us with 26.4k suicide gun deaths. While still a large number, there are still a significant portion of GP's 48k gun deaths which were not self inflected.

"The Crud", which is a southern US ailment that lasts weeks, it makes you cough and snotty, and generally lethargic. It isn't awful, but when you feel it coming on you're in for at least 2-3 weeks. It isn't serious, at all. It's just similar to or a cold that generally presents in the warm months.

Some jobs coughing and whatnot is frowned upon.

Because human beings are complex, social creatures with a range of biological outcomes. If you want to be the chief monkey, you have to keep all the other monkeys safe, healthy, and happy. Otherwise they'll bash your head in and pick a new chief monkey.

We can postulate all sorts of modern scenarios and ethics and laws and rights on top of that, but at the end of the day, if you want to have a society, everyone in it needs to be taken care of according to their own needs. Leave too many people behind and there will be upheaval.

Alternately, we could not have a society, but then there are no business owners in that scenario.
I am not sure that's really correct: while Git is internally pretty powerful, it's by no means incredibly powerful.

Eg. one of the obvious missing features (for a distributed VCS) is nested history (i.e. in Bazaar/bzr, now brz, you'd keep "subcommits" when merging, without them overcrowding the main "bzr log").

Basically, while advertised as being distributed, you are forced to either rebase or squash-and-merge to keep a clean commit history, which is not how humans operate: basically, I want to have a gazillion tiny commits if it's a distributed system (iow, use it how I like it), but not have those show up for a single top-level change.

Also, internals do drive what UX you can have: this is evident even in web applications (eg. if you've got a particular backend REST API, you might not be able to achieve some UX workflows without reworking the backend too).
Well to be fair YT has made it confusing because some of the time it is. Some artists allow fan uploads like that and just collect the ad revenue off it.

So really in the modern era no copyright intended really is a message to the artist/label saying it's a fan video, they're not trying to impersonate the official one and asking for it to stay. The uploader might not know that that's what they're really asking but credit to YT for making this arrangement work to preserve some of the site's original culture.

This is questionable. There were photos clearly showing a round hole consistent with torpedo hit. One of the explanations is that official version probably doesn't tell us the whole truth. May be it's a conspiracy theory and in fact it's a rare instance when Russian government tells the truth.
How the PIX Firewall and NAT Saved the Internet [video]
This was a solid piece.

It reminded me a lot of how fragile the 'creative loop' can actually be.

My mother, who was in the nineties an ink-and-pencil graphic designer and cartoonist, was also a back-to-the-lander with a strong anti-technology streak. When she wasn't doodling, she was working on an enormous treadle loom in our basement. Here heroes were Quakers, Amish, and Hudderite artisans, and we lived deep in the countryside.

When her employer mandated Adobe Illustrator, she quit. Being forced to use a machine that she hated on principle destroyed the pleasure that she had in her existing mastery of her light table, her compass, her letraset, etc.

I was already a coder back then, and so of course, I had great teenage disdain for her ludditism.

Yet as I get older, I can see her point, which I take to be friendly to the author of this piece. Namely, that what you do in pursuit of a creative career can obviate the point of pursuing a creative career, which, presumably, is to trade income and stability off against the satisfaction of self-expression.

For AI reasons, I've been thinking about her predicament a lot again lately. GH Copilot, which I admire as a breakthrough achievement, nevertheless makes me feel uneasy, as though the thoughts are having themselves. Copilot makes me faster, but it also breaks the immersion, knocking me out of the coding flow-state that I experience as fundamental not only to my pre-copilot productivity, but my enjoyment of my job. Sure, choosing an appropriate variable name or building a simple GraphQL resolver might be rote work, but it was enjoyable rote work, like knitting. The market is beginning to put me in tension with my own career, as my mother experienced, and as the author of this piece also seems to experience.

It wouldn't take much for some future iteration of Copilot to suck the marrow from my own coding practice, leaving me perpetually reviewing code rather than writing it. And where would that leave me? Certainly not in flow. And if I'm not in flow, why not just go into management, and have done?

For different reasons, the author of this essay is experiencing a similar marrow-suck. It's not AI this time (or rather, for now,) but rather the banality of chasing the market. It sounds like there is something about the experience of data-informed creatorship that is draining, and drains you in proportion to the degree you adopt it.

Three different causes, same effect: the 'fecund homeostasis' of the creative loop is broken by changing market conditions, for reasons idiosyncratic to each of the three situations. Financial success is thrown into tension with self-satisfaction. The market giveth, the market taketh away.

I used to be in restaurant management and I recently got a job in entry level IT for the first time in 15+ years for work/life balance.

The best 2-3 hires I ever made as a restaurant manager I knew they would be great within minutes of starting the interview. Other than those outliers I would say a great hiring manager was about twice as likely to have a productive hire as a bad hiring manager. Great hiring managers were batting around 0.600, almost regardless of if it were a relatively “technical” position or not. At some level it was just a crapshoot.

Of course they have an anti-fossil fuel industry bias because they write an article against the fossil fuel industry. One should listen to an unbiased source, i.e., a source that never writes anything against the fuel industry.

It would be great if we could hire an unbiased source to study the issue and determine what the cleanup costs of California oil production will be. But there is a danger that that unbiased source will determine that the cleanup costs will indeed be high and then they will immediately become a biased source, not to be believed ever again. And we will have wasted our money.

That's an interesting take. Having been in the midst of this, it wasn't at all clear Git would have won (against Mercurial and Bazaar, at least in the free software world).

There were two main factors contributing to it: Linux Kernel switching to Git, so open source people had to deal with it anyway, and an even bigger factor, GitHub offering a (free) streamlined UI for those most common GitHub operations (basically, making it not-hard). If you compare GitHub to Mercurial hosting web sites of the time, one was decidedly 90s/MySpace like, and another was modern, Facebook-like.

IMHO, without GitHub, git does not become the dominant VCS it is today.
> While the blockage does deny general Singaporean readers access to Asia Sentinel’s website, it will have little effect on subscribers as AS is published on the Substack platform as a newsletter, which it means it is available in email accounts.

Interesting, I haven't heard of email providers blocking senders by a country, so I wonder if you could connect a static site generator with a LLM to read emails from users and respond with the corresponding article. It'd be pretty easy to disseminate headlines because email clients typically give notifactions already and emails are really easy to share to other people.
