<p>The federal government will inflate away anything you try to save. Right now you can beat it via investing... but eventually 10% + inflation year over year will be here unless its wings are permanently clipped. Unfortunately, the people that run it bit the tax base against each other two teams, while they sit back and reap the fruits of the tax payers labor.<p>The 1% is the people in the fed.</p>

<p>Groan, all abuse comes in the name of safety.<p>Rest assured this everything to do with training data and prepping everyone for eventual forced opt-in.<p>Anthropic really likes to put a show on about their ethics; then in a drop of a hat, nerfs their models in an anti competitive way.<p>Its smoke and mirrors.</p>

<p>Anthropic intentionally degrading responses shows you they're also focusing on the wrong things. Rather than producing the best model possible, they're nerfing their models' capabilities.</p>

<p>Social Security such a Ponzi scheme. At least, proper reform should be elective. One can either pay in, or make it mandatory that part is invested privately.<p>I'll pay in probably something like $250k-$500k in, and I'll doubt I'll get even the principal amount out. If I were in charge of investing my own social security, I'd end up with millions.</p>

<p>Handy for sure!<p>In production though, I've moved completely to systemd isolation of apps, rather than Docker-like containers; essentially blackboxes and present a supply chain threat. There's also a DRY principle here. Verification of a host presents a much smaller surface area.</p>
