Regular people don't have secrets. Or at least they have the boring kind.

Claude won't read .env unless you tell it to. Same with anything in .gitignore

I like burner phones for setting up accounts that require a phone number these days....like Google.

Whenever I set up a new account with them, I go buy a sim, plug it in , do the verification and then days later that sim runs out, etc....

Americans had better take steps to preserve their democracy before it is too late.

The US is a Constitutional Republic....people/representatives are democratically elected to represent our states/people.

That being said....I dunno where the fuck all this "losing our democracy " shit is coming from....more was being done to destroy the US and suppress speech under Biden and the Democrats than anything going on now.

The "democracy" is working just fine here...in fact it's doing very well....I'm quite happy with it....

How many American companies have ties to the U.S. military-industrial complex?

Well those companies are not a risk to the US govt.....China is an enemy of the US, and all companies in China have 1st allegiance to China govt and are required to aid in any way.

US companies, not so much.

Everyone in the US needs to get it through their thick heads...People's Republic of China is not our friends in fact it is an active, antagonistic enemy that is actively pushing for the US's downfall.

Always treat them as such.

Thank you VERY much for the info!!

Tokamaks also have no solution to the fast-neutron problem, which "embrittles" the core components of the reactor itself into powder over a few years of operation.

Only magnetized target fusion, like what General Fusion is pursuing, solves that problem.

I'm not sure that fusion will ever reach economic viability. But they're literally the only ones that even have a chance.

Well I certainly stopped ordering 50lb bags of dog food online. For a decade at least.

There's no universe where that's ahead of "commit secrets to public github repo".

I have a Mac Pro tower...I might try to repurpose at some point with Linux.

So, there's no problems with any of the Apple "security" hardware on the Mac boxes with respect to installing Linux and having full access to SDD, memory and other fun hardware stuff for computing?

And here I thought that the way to appease Trump was with a Golden Shower...

Ah...the Russian Hoax documents generated by the Clinton campaign still run STRONG with this one....

Hmm....trying to figure what to do with a 2019 beefy Intel Mac Pro...?

Can one put Linux on those? I ask due to all the Apple hardware "security" chips I understand are in there....

Seems it would be nice if I could eventually repurpose it with Linux, maybe throw in a couple of NVIDIA cards to be a local host for some larger AI models...?

I just KNEW it was a good idea to hang on to all those old roadmaps from days gone by...

Oh sure they'll be outdated in some aspects, but largely, roads and highways don't just get up and move themselves....

And they laughed when I said I don't wanna throw them all out....

Huh? All SpaceX needs to do is find an asteroid made out of gold and diamonds and it will 10x the investment.

How do you get people hooked? I change LLM providers more often than I change my underwear.
