This empowers people making them feel less beholden to rising energy prices, and gives the data center more energy for its needs as the grid is freed up.

Been using ubuntu + regolith as my daily driver for over a year now and haven't needed to use windows for anything. Almost all games all work well on Linux now too.

Would love to port some of those game ideas to this platform when you open up the developer platform.

Current sections are: - Things to remember - List of 10 important quotes/mantras - What's on my mind - How am I feeling productivity/mood wise today - What do I most want to accomplish? - What would make today horrible? - Gratitude - Something Mundane, something that happened by chance, something I made happen

Most artists want to create beautiful art, it's a form of self expression. Creating art just for outputs sake without adding love seems cold and capitalistic.

So AI enhances and delivers what programmers want, and diminishes what artists want.

What if this leads to less of a cognitive workout over time vs having to manage everything yourself which increases dementia risk?

Always use an authenticator app or physical key, most sites that do SMS 2FA will then allow hackers to use it to bypass knowing your password.

Nobody refuses free government help even if they hate the government, just as no one pays extra taxes even if they love the government. The point is always to distribute their belief more widely so that everyone has to live with it.

In a few decades at our current rate we're going to see so many natural disasters and mass migrations that the general populace will be far more concerned about food and water for the populace than wasting it on extravagances like space, and then we may end up all dying on this rock.

Once we're able to successfully mine minerals from space and have some hope for colonizing other planets the game changes, because people could see it as a lifeline rather than a waste.

I posted this earlier (and it's in the article...) but will reiterate again: ZK proofs are used when the prover (server) and verifier (client) don't trust each other and don't want to give each other data on each other. If you trust the server you can just give it a copy of your passport, if the server trusts the client they can just show a checkbox asking if they're old enough.

I linked to a working library earlier, it's here https://github.com/zk-passport/openpassport

This is the situation zero knowledge proofs are used in:

- The client doesn't trust the server and doesn't want to give it any info (that's the zero knowledge part)

- The server doesn't trust the client (that's the proof part)

If you break them of course the problem is much easier to solve.

If the client trusts the server they can give it a scan of their passport.

If the server trusts the client to run that code then you don't need a proof, you may as well just have a popup that says "are you over 21?"

A rainbow table is just breaking the hash and then you may as well not have it, in the real world the client would add a salt so this isn't possible.

- As you're still not getting it, how about this: This is a sha256 hash of my birthday, write a function that returns if I'm over 21: `1028d7ea22cbbcb17c4926b08b591506227d7b0e32ce6ce76122461e551a5ab2`

- Nothing I've mentioned needs an append only log, where are you even getting that from? A ZK proof is created from only the data stored on the passport chip.

The whole point of ZK proofs is the zero knowledge part. If you don't care about the person being able to see the information of course there's no need for them.
