<p>There may be correlation, but what about a larger context, say go back 20 years or so?<p>Look at other segments too, for instance recipe books (or even websites). Totally worse in any way than using an LLM to make a recipe with only the ingredients you have on hand.<p>And, is it really causation? Could it be that more and more people just pirate the book from libgen ?<p>Could it be that people don't read much anymore and look for self-help on youtube or tik-tok?<p>The hypothesis is interesting, but it's hard to prove.</p>

<p>Well, depending on how cynical you are. I'm sure there are those that are happy to let the 'senecent' people die of cancer and have a younger population and healthier population pyramid.<p>Getting older, I'm not subscribing to that, but it sometimes feels like the RFKjr -style interventions are calculated. Then again, this theory makes zero sense when dismantling herd status for measles (I don't think 'natural measles survivors' are genetically 'better' than the rest of us)</p>

<p>I tried brew upgrade on my setup, got a bunch of warnings about untrusted taps, and it upgraded what it could, and updated itself to homebrew 6.0.0. So I guess, yay ?</p>

<p>Also, since I had an atari st as my first 'serious" computer, I loved the B&W monitor and b&W GEM.<p>I'm still looking for a way to preserve the low-color feel for my macbooks and mac desktops. Also I love the idea of low-dopamine UIs in principle.<p>For same reasons as the original author, I find myself to abandon the B&W mode and then do not turn it back on later.<p>I'd envision OS layer that handles the desktop, finder and apps, and an API that apps like browsers can use, e.g. in chrome extensions.<p>Anyone here aware of work in that area?</p>

<p>sure, but is that doing the same as deleting all installed sw and then reinstalling it using the new safeguards?<p>Assuming I have already installed something homebrew 6 would not let install, will I get a warning?</p>

<p>For those of us who use homebrew today, how do we get the new cool benefits ? Is there a command to upgrade (like ```brew upgrade```) everything to the new hotness, do we need to uninstall everything and reinstall ?<p>It's probably discussed somewhere but didn't find when glancing at the OP.</p>

<p>Well, it it works well enough, I don't care too deeply. But it's clear to me that the self driving on the older hardware changes it's personalty depending on something I cannot figure out (software updates? Light conditions?). From confident formula-1 driver to nervous granny. This unpredictability is very unnerving to me. Like having a teenager drive my car.<p>I rented a tesla with the new hardware for a week and it was awesome. But they could just update the model overnight and give me a nasty surprise. That's ... not a very happy thought.</p>

<p>This isn't really going far enough; the readme says - keep the metadata on a piece of paper or whatever. But: The metadata is data too, you can find it ALSO within \pi. So it's \pi all the way down.<p>Not even sure if there an interesting Collatz-like conjecture here.</p>

<p>Yeah, but now you do have a year to ramp up security on the defensive side, which is not nothing.<p>I still don't think this is the best way to address overall safety, but it's not <i>entirely</i> unreasonable.<p>In reality, I think this posturing is mostly nonsense. State level actors and terrorists/evil genii can use a slightly weaker model but spend more tokens. Also, the delta between models seems to shrink over time.</p>

<p>Not a fanboy, but the latest generation Tesla self driving is really quite good. I still don't understand why they still aren't adding lidars now since prices have come down a lot.</p>

<p>I mean, noone is stopping someone to clone letsencrypt - it shouldn't be very hard.<p>Google had a similar dilemma - do they want to offer a (censored) service in China, and have a hope of keeping some marketshare, or not (and be kicked out immediately).<p>In this case though, it seems to be an unforced move by letsencrypt ? Or was it compelled by LEAs?</p>

<p>I belong to a rare breed of very opportunistic hobby-developers that like to use MacOS but also like to use linux machines or BSDs (rpi etc) sometimes.<p>I can create docker-images with docker compose, or use something like colima, which this seems to be close to (that should have some advantages over docker, although my hope of circumventing W^X page protection did not pan out).<p>I was perplexed that the repository does not put these container machines in context. The seem to be close to colima? When should I use which option (docker, collima, container machines ?)<p>Maybe others wonder too but are ashamed to ask. I have no shame ;)<p>Thanks for any pointers</p>
