> if they saw me romanticizing the Mondragon cooperatives in Spain?

Speaking for myself, I'd find that very interesting! I just stumbled over an article about it a few days ago, and don't think it's weird that different parts of the world would be interested in a regional business phenomenon.


If they use the system keyring, it depends on the OS and other details - MacOS, Linux, and Windows all have different implementation tradeoffs.


Two different "rent"s.


Not really see your sibling post


When something is "realized" is a matter of accounting. It means to make the change, they sold the gold fo currrency, then bought it back. For many of us, realizing a gain is when taxes happen, though I'm not sure what it means for a nation state.

So they could sell it again and buy it again and realise another $15b?


No, there wouldn't be any gains to realize — unless the gold price went up since they bought it, of course.

If you buy something for $10 and sell at $15, you realized a gain of $5. If you then buy at $15 and sell it at $15, you realized a gain of $0.


If I'm not mistaken, this was Socrates' exact perspective on writing.


>Socrates' exact perspective on writing

Again, writing replacing memorization is not a good 1:1 comparison to AI replacing technical understanding. Someone still needs to understand what is written and act upon that knowledge. That requires skill and experience in the domain they're working within.

However, a person using an AI does not need to understand the underlying problem to get results. A person can ask Claude Code to write them a web app dashboard without having ever learned JS/CSS/HTML. It does not require them to have skills within a domain.

Also, we need to be honest with ourselves. Human brains did not evolve for the instant gratification of modern technology. We've already seen what technology has done to our attention spans. I am concerned over what further reliance on technology, particularly AI, will do to our brains.

This perspective is funny to me because of how much the modern web is already built around web developers refusing to use CSS and PHP. The giving up of the skills happened before the automation.


Again and again, we've seen that HSMs aren't secure against physical access of the device.


Can you point me to an example of a FIPS level 3+ certified device having its private keys compromised due to a defeat of the tamper resistant boundary?


Here are a couple examples of physical access leading to key extraction. You're welcome to be pedantic (those are side channel attacks, they don't defeat the boundary!) but one way or another, physical access wins.

What unnecessary snark. Is a little civility too much to ask for?


Ridiculous claims deserve to be ridiculed.


On Reddit perhaps. Not here.


It appears to have gotten better! Sharing a project soon.


CRDTs let you avoid leader election / strict consensus. The canonical example is a google doc with multiple editors.


Protected memory can be used to fix that. Working on a related project that I'm planning to share soon.
