<p>Those sequences of thoughts that makes us spiral down are not fixed, it's cultural thoughts that we learned as we grew up whether from our family, friends or from TV shows, movies, games, etc. We see situations and we learn how other people handle them, we match the thoughts to similar contexts<p>In LLM/agent lingo, those are prompts that we inject based on similarity search</p>

<p>Author's main idea is that knowledge is not always cumulative, sometimes new ideas disrupts and replaces old ones, and in some cases, even reduce the burden because it is also simpler.<p>The problem is that most new ideas are, in fact, cumulative, and hence increases the burden at a faster rate than disruptive ideas reduce it<p>The idea of "Burden of knowledge" only requires that most knowledge accumulates. The fact that there are exceptions that do not accumulate does not disprove it</p>

Using an LLM to summarize each of these communities creates a hierarchical summary of the data, providing an overview of a dataset without needing to know which questions to ask in advance. Each community serves as the basis of a community summary that describes its entities and their relationships.</p>

<p>TLDR: these are the safe versions 4.4p1 <= OpenSSH < 8.5p1 AND >= 9.8p1<p>---<p>- OpenSSH < 4.4p1 is vulnerable to this signal handler race condition,

  CVE-2008-4109, which was an incorrect fix for CVE-2006-5051;<p>- 4.4p1 <= OpenSSH < 8.5p1 is not vulnerable to this signal handler race
  condition (because the "#ifdef DO_LOG_SAFE_IN_SIGHAND" that was added
  to sigdie() by the patch for CVE-2006-5051 transformed this unsafe
  function into a safe _exit(1) call);<p>- 8.5p1 <= OpenSSH < 9.8p1 is vulnerable again to this signal handler
  race condition (because the "#ifdef DO_LOG_SAFE_IN_SIGHAND" was
  accidentally removed from sigdie()).</p>

<p>I think you are missing the point.<p>You can implement local-first with the merging strategy of last-write-wins, which is equivalent as any cloud app where the server is the source of truth. But now you automatically get all the other benefits of local-first:<p>- you can use it offline and expect changes to merge when coming back online. With the caveat that changes may be lost, but it's at least possible to have pending changes, you don't even have that option on cloud apps<p>- easier to develop, no more developing custom API backends<p>- multi-player</p>
