Controlling your own crypto keys is like having your net worth in cash or gold stored in your house. It could easily be lost or stolen or destroyed in a fire unless you take extraordinary precautions and then it is all gone.

Really? I consider the second season of Star Trek: Picard to be one of the worst seasons of TV ever made.

These combined with constant access to LLMs are basically the power glasses or specs from the book Accelerando by Charles Stross that the main character becomes so dependent on he becomes severely disoriented when they are stolen.

The United States actually possesses one of the most efficient, profitable, and advanced freight rail networks in the world with 140,000 miles of well maintained rail. Being optimized for freight the rails are designed for slower moving heavy cars instead of lighter fast moving passenger cars.

No you will still be able to sideload software onto Android.
UltraSane··on Serbia's Vucic concedes election defeat in historic win for student movement
"You have to set down a lot of logic to hold the idea that this man did a Nazi salute in a stadium full of people"

No, I just have to WATCH HIM DO IT TWICE! As to why he would do it I would assume drugs as Musk's behavior during that period was so weird and destructive it seems he was actually close to getting fired from Tesla.

As far as hating Musk it is actually Musk that is a very hateful man. Just look at how cruel he was when he fired all those people from Twitter and the federal government.

Telling people Musk didn't do a nazi salute is like peeing on their leg and telling them its raining.

It isn't a caricature. Elon already lets bots run rampant on Twitter.
UltraSane··on AI use leads UC Berkeley math professor to see 'no point' in grading homework
The better LLMs get at math the better the people using them need to be to be able to ask them the right questions and understand their output.
UltraSane··on Imagine an AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless
Yes, the Trump admin seems to be breaking laws and blatantly lying as a matter of principal.
UltraSane··on Imagine an AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless
I truly hate party politics and just want politicians cooperating to make the country run as well as possible for as many people as possible. But Republicans reliably cut taxes for the rich, dramatically grow the national deficit, and start stupid wars.
UltraSane··on Imagine an AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless
I've mainly seen the word used in suspiciously bot-like GOP-propaganda comments on youtube videos
UltraSane··on Imagine an AI future where being banned means you are now economically useless
Using the word lawfare reveals you are not unbiased.
UltraSane··on Apple Security Research Device
Security and freedom are mutually exclusive for the vast majority of non-technical people who will happily infect themselves over and over with malware.
UltraSane··on What’s getting pwned right now
Because it was spent on babysitting C pointers instead of actually writing secure software.
UltraSane··on Whatever Happened to Fire Escapes
At the very least you should use a gas or wood insert

They would have still probably been very power hungry.
UltraSane··on Using thousands of AI agents to uncover new leads in biological data
Interacting with the real world makes thing so much harder because it is like working on a codebase with a trillion global variables.

Part of it is on everyone else for not actually testing they key strength.
UltraSane··on GitLab critical patch release
Seems like we are paying down decades of technical debt created by very fast and loose programming.
UltraSane··on A Modern Web App in C
The latest critical PHP CVEs caused by very stupid bugs in the C code feel like vindication for critics of C.
UltraSane··on Chain of Thought for Humans
I'm essentially thinking out loud in my head constantly.
UltraSane··on Whatever Happened to Fire Escapes
They really aren't worth the hassle of cleaning the ash and getting the wood and cleaning the chimney. An outdoor fire pit is much better.
UltraSane··on GitLab critical patch release
It depends on the net rate of new bugs being made vs the bugs discovered and fixed. Hopefully AI can find bugs faster than new ones are being created.
UltraSane··on Whatever Happened to Fire Escapes
Traditional fireplaces are VERY bad technology. Over 90% of the energy in the wood goes up the chimney and they ruin air quality in the house and they start so many fires. Even when not in use the chimney lets so much heated or cooled air out.
UltraSane··on What I learned from six months of being stupid on purpose
The sense of having lots of knowledge but no real confidence in my abilities caused me much anxiety after graduating college.
