You could also explore approaches like what puppeteer-heap-snapshot does and extract the data you're interested in from the in memory Javascript objects that the canvas powered website uses to generate its contents.

Montessori vs k5... go! But actually what about skipping k5 and starting public school at grade 2 (unsure of what age that is for the non US school systems)

EDIT: I forgot daycare is prohibitively expensive. Whoops.

See integrating LLMs with knowledge stores a la RDF triples or anything else really if you leverage something like LLamaIndex/LangChain.

"If I were 26 in the 90s I'd be well off". Also don't necessarily worry about your career ending because "AI". Keep er movin. (And knowledge hoarding sounds gross)

maybe check out PICO 8. It's basically a VM (self styled fantasy game console) that runs on a bunch of devices and an active community. https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php

A similar project that I'm eager to hack on (or maybe try my hand at implementing something similar in WASM) is the UXN platform. https://100r.co/site/uxn.html

And if we're already talking VM platforms to explore, there's no reason that someone who doesn't want to do software professionally can't get a lot of enjoyment from some basic syntax knowledge and making modifications to software they use every day (whether that's writing a userscript in your browser or exploring your favorite game via mods)

Seems like the order should be employees/contractors, then bills, then owners.

If you're an auto-didact my advice to myself would be: take a week to get a grip on the basics again (maybe read an algo and datastructure book or cracking the coding interview). Then grind leetcode. That's the service you're looking for : ) Or toptal.

Guanfacine is one non stimulant ADHD prescribed med that you might want to look into. For OTC supplements I don't think it hurts to consider N-Aceytl-cysteine (NAC) but it's not a cure all.

In the defensive security space there is also Kicksecure[0], which serves as the base for Whonix (a hardened linux distro that tries to provide strong privacy/anonymity via the Tor network). They have a wiki that goes over the desktop hardening features and tweaks that go into it.

Is a "ply" a unit I'm not familiar with? Or does it just refer to a single layer. (Honestly not sure and curious)

Not firefox/seamonkey (and presumably others)

"This is controversial, however, it is just a different philosophy. The user runs as administrator (root), apps may optionally run as a non-root user or in containers as a "crippled root". The practical outcome is that you never have to type "sudo" or "su" to run anything, nor get hung up with file permissions. Note, current releases of Easy default to running Firefox as user 'firefox', and SeaMonkey as user 'seamonkey'. It is easy to do the same for any app, that is, run it as its own user, isolated from other users."

I'm thinking along similar lines (including physical mailing of smartcards or something similar). I like building AGPL software and take on commercial work from time to time. Maybe I should write an article ; )

Email is in my profile.

EDIT check out upspin.io project it's written in go and has a lot of thought put in

I think he's being funny. I thought it was hilarious. There are huge boons to productivity if you know your stack. I don't know serverless so if I built anything around it it would probably just be shiny object syndrome.
