<p>I agree with all the points this articulates. I understand why for many users they are great. But I would prefer better acceptance and continuance of the simpler, unfishable, u2f simple hardware keys.</p>

<p>They don't mention this, but one major reason for this is to validate claims of family units and prevent trafficking.<p>This is, I suspect, a good thing. The article never states any downsides, other then nebulous claims. Yes, DNA is like finger printing someone, which is routinely done for arrests, but has the benefit of assisting in claims of family relations, which is at the heart of many ICE concerns.</p>

<p>What LLMs have shown me most, is:<p>Alternatively most blog posts could have been paragraphs. Most books could have been single chapters. Most newspaper articles could have been tweets.<p>That being said, most readers want you to hold your hand step by step. They don't want to the outline: they want you to give them a story. Most people and writers know this already. To me, it was new.</p>

<p>TLDR: Ran grok in $HOME. Surprised agent read content of folder.<p>On the other hand, I specifically had grok try hard NOT to read a known key in the project dir (it only saw the first part using a tool, to verify it was present). So there's that.</p>

<p>You're correct. But have you been on the other side: something you know is not perfect, but someone convinces you to try something, you agree, it isn't great but it gets used... then they leave and you are stuck with something that is a pain clean up.<p>I understand it can suck: but what is lacking isn't your technical demonstration (unless it is truly ground breaking), but your demonstration to clean up your own mess and be responsible.</p>

<p>PG Wire proto 3 is my largest source of frustrations.<p>I'm playing with a POC for a better wire protocol here:

<p>What posgresql needs is a new wire format. (pgwire4)<p>I've been slopping together a POC to probe the edges of what can be done as just an extension. So far I have a framed protocol with inline cancellation, named parameters, out-of-query text language selector, ad-hoc pg/PLSQL execution with cache (no need for prepare), multiple result sets, streaming large results, and more flexible bulk upload.<p>In other words, with this extension you can query:<p>```
select * from T1;
select * from T2;
```<p>And return them both in PG/PLSQL or straight SQL.<p>The existing pgwire3 protocol is one of the worst things to work with in postgresql.</p>

<p>100% of this will be self-inflicted no javascript and 0% of the people who I am targeting.<p>The Galaxy Brain isn't global usage, it is overlapping populations. Will any percentage of them care about any percentage of me?<p>Put another way, many people decided to effectively drop support for IE11. When my client has even a single client who still uses IE11, we don't drop support even when it is "bad to support it". But when that drops to zero, regardless of what anyone else is doing, then we can drop support for IE11.</p>

<p>I like everything I've read on this site so for, for it is also something I've been wanting.<p>If the roadmap's "Web client and code review tools" could replace gerrit for me, this would be a easy switch.<p>Moreover, it looks like they designed both the mutable store and immutable store to be able to easily store their state directly on an s3 like system.<p>There are a number of features that would greatly speed up CI/CD system operations I belive.</p>
