Why would you ever run anything else on equipment like that, which doesn't make any sense to me when enterprise grade hardware that is stationary would be more powerful anyway...because you aren't taking that on BART (I don't steal but seeing that thing in your lap, might bend that rule for myself since no real chance Bart PD would care anyway) or probably ever moving it from the place you use it now in ways that a mobile rack in your garage would be any less convenient for you.

Or if you felt strongly about consumer facing hardware, meaning really you pay through the nose to live in an efficiency in "SoMA" aka the Tenderloin, buy the mini-pc variant is just as easy to move but much less easy to break.

Yeah its freedom alright, freedom to chose coke or pepsi to swallow your pills then you better get back to work, otherwise you could be like that homeless man you stepped over coming in.

Wow, that division of labor and agricultural efficiency sure are something.

If you aren't be reckless about backing things up and being safe, this makes absolutely no sense.

Anytime things "blow up" its because you did something, updated something, ran something, it doesn't just happen or have scripts that will trigger shit for no reason (microsoft updates anyone?).

As for "bring everything down with it" that is because you don't actually know how to fix it, but with enough experience, or if you torture yourself with non-FHS compliant/non-systemd/Nixos or GUIX, you figure it out eventually and figure out how not to cause problems, you know like getting over the electron apps to do functionality easier as a script or justfile command or insisting on a broken IDE that is a dumpster because its extension store has a lot of possible options that are mostly non-functional.

But you do you.

EDIT: And AOSP still depends on Google being so kind as to allow for it, there is no guarantee that continues forever. But that's my low time preference talking, don't mind me.

And when even very intelligent, but excessively conceited, people hear the echo of their own reason9ing from conversational autocorrect and assume it is somehow akin to intelligent life, the normies will go with whatever the plutocrats push with their media outlets too absorbed in their own domain specific knowledge (and cowed into intellectual laziness by other media products they consume eagerly) to ever subject it to much thought that Claude might not be Skynet after all.

Or you can use one of the two to create a common source of context that includes code base mapping and depending on your mileage vectorization of the code itself, which I implement as an init command in oopencode as a first step with a project. The skills specs are universal, agents are too, the rest I am not 100% sure but its mostly just markdown descriptions of things until you get into advanced use cases with SDKs so you can set up a skill or agent using a skill+tool to go "file by file, method by method" then write a bash script or find a bloated multimodel harness to have each use it for your purposes.

At worst the person gets fired and is prohibited from public sector jobs at that tier of government afterwards for a period of time while the story is fresh in peoples minds, in the rare case the plutocratic owned media let's such a story come out of its mass media products about the not-paid-for bureaucratic elements of government in hopes of reducing polarization that comes from over-promoting one of the arbitrarily different parties as a means of providing the commoners what Orwell called "Two Minutes Hate" or a means of obtaining cathartic release from the tensions that making them believe they are somehow co-authors of the government to keep them engaged as willing participants.

So much for privacy I guess, hence pulling out this protecting children BS that I saw too many kids at my urban CA highschool get stabbed to fall for. The fact these tactics still work, where we limit our toothless privacy protections that the firms that don't comply the state might eventually sue when someone with more money than I presses the Attorney General, but then dial it back marketing it as protecting children and people still buy it? Absurd these same people work at such bleeding edge tech firms but then again LLMs can do that busy work they actually are doing better most of the time....

See the rest the comments for examples pedantic discussions about terms that are ultimately somewhat arbitrary and if anything suggest the singularity will be runaway technobabble not technological progress.

2. Feeling like your phone is listening to you implies you lack self awareness to deduce why the things you think or discuss with others are reflected in your metadata. You use the internet as a sounding board for thoughts, there is a pattern to it and that is all happening non-verbally. Turning the mic off is unlikely to make this go away.

3. If this makes you paranoid, it should and that paranoia only becomes medically relevant if it impedes your ability to do things you want to do but is otherwise a healthy adaptation that in many contexts would aide in your continued survival. This might be worth keeping in mind, not trying to run away from. Quick fixes in life generally are just traps.
