<p>It's time for all developers to learn about devcontainers and use them consistently. They're super easy to setup and run and would protect from most of what this worm does. <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers" rel="nofollow">https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/devcontainers/containers</a> is the best guide to get started if you use vscode.</p>

<p>Devcontainers are a much better solution, super easy to setup with VSCode and ensures the AI can't access your main machine.</p>

<p>Devcontainers are so useful when working with AI. Not only for rogue agents but rogue scripts/libraries they may download that try and exfiltrate your credentials.</p>

<p>I've had a full shakedown at the airport in Brisbane asking for passwords for phone/laptop and they will confiscate for 2 weeks if you don't comply. I'm an Australian citizen. They also didn't let me call anyone so my wife was left waiting for 3 hours wondering where I was.</p>

<p>Honestly Linux has been so much easier to use since Claude / codex came out. Now I don't need to remember esoteric commands or scroll old forums to fix issues, Claude does it all for me.<p>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.</p>

<p>I built something similar a few years ago where the idea was "jackbox but coop games". It was way jankier than this though.<p>Would love to port some of those game ideas to this platform when you open up the developer platform.</p>

<p>I use Obsidian with a "daily-planning" template that has a bunch of typical journaling prompts. I customize it over time, adding new ideas and removing boring bits.<p>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</p>

<p>Most programmers want to get some final output, they want the application or game rather than some beautiful code.<p>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.<p>So AI enhances and delivers what programmers want, and diminishes what artists want.</p>

<p>I wonder if it related to those studies showing couples have more of a shared memory, to manage tasks better. When playing memory games they tend to do much better than two strangers placed on a team.<p>What if this leads to less of a cognitive workout over time vs having to manage everything yourself which increases dementia risk?</p>

<p>I thought he was going to mention the stupidity of sites like Twitter that when you add SMS as a 2FA option you can now use that to bypass the password and so are vulnerable to sim hijacking, which given how incompetent phone company employees are makes your security weaker.<p>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.</p>

<p>This is the same gotcha as "If you like government so much why don't YOU pay more taxes?"<p>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.</p>

<p>The contract address will be the same but the transaction address should be different because transactions include the chainid in them. Otherwise you could easily replay transactions on other chains.</p>

<p>We're in a very small window in the battle against climate change where people are even allowed to spend money on space programs.<p>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.<p>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.</p>
