It's time for all developers to learn about devcontainers and use them consistently. They're super easy to setup and run and would protect from most of what this worm does. https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/d

Devcontainers are a much better solution, super easy to setup with VSCode and ensures the AI can't access your main machine.

Devcontainers are so useful when working with AI. Not only for rogue agents but rogue scripts/libraries they may download that try and exfiltrate your credentials.

Disappointed Topo Chico isn't included. I've tried sparkling water all over the world and it's my favourite.

I've had a full shakedown at the airport in Brisbane asking for passwords for phone/laptop and they will confiscate for 2 weeks if you don't comply. I'm an Australian citizen. They also didn't let me call anyone so

They could give all nearby residents free/subsidized solar + battery for their homes. This empowers people making them feel less beholden to rising energy prices, and gives the data center more energy for its needs as the grid is freed

Honestly Linux has been so much easier to use since Claude / codex came out. Now I don't need to remember esoteric commands or scroll old forums to fix issues, Claude does it all for me. Been using ubuntu + regolith as my daily dr

I built something similar a few years ago where the idea was "jackbox but coop games". It was way jankier than this though. Would love to port some of those game ideas to this platform when you open up the developer platform.

I use Obsidian with a "daily-planning" template that has a bunch of typical journaling prompts. I customize it over time, adding new ideas and removing boring bits. Current sections are: - Things to remember - List of 10 important

Most programmers want to get some final output, they want the application or game rather than some beautiful code. Most artists want to create beautiful art, it's a form of self expression. Creating art just for outputs sake without ad

I wonder if it related to those studies showing couples have more of a shared memory, to manage tasks better. When playing memory games they tend to do much better than two strangers placed on a team. What if this leads to less of a cogniti

I thought he was going to mention the stupidity of sites like Twitter that when you add SMS as a 2FA option you can now use that to bypass the password and so are vulnerable to sim hijacking, which given how incompetent phone company employ

This is the same gotcha as "If you like government so much why don't YOU pay more taxes?" Nobody refuses free government help even if they hate the government, just as no one pays extra taxes even if they love the government

It's not like they have a choice. If they don't they have to declare bankruptcy because they can't honor customer withdrawals.

The wallet is a smart contract (specifically a gnosis safe), the malicious message they signed transferred ownership of that smart contract wallet to the attacker so they could then do whatever they want with it.

The contract address will be the same but the transaction address should be different because transactions include the chainid in them. Otherwise you could easily replay transactions on other chains.

We're in a very small window in the battle against climate change where people are even allowed to spend money on space programs. In a few decades at our current rate we're going to see so many natural disasters and mass migration

I didn't mention hashes anywhere in this thread, you were the one claiming you can prove someone's age just based on a hash of it (and still haven't shown how other than breaking the hash with a rainbow table). I posted this

Lol, well yea if you throw away the zero knowledge part or trust the client to tell the truth of course you don't need zero knowledge proofs. Its not zero knowledge though (you just gave the server the info) and/or isn't prov

- Do you not understand that client side checks are insecure? - As you're still not getting it, how about this: This is a sha256 hash of my birthday, write a function that returns if I'm over 21: `1028d7ea22cbbcb17c4926b08b5915062

Yea the chip gives the information written on the device. It doesn't answer arbitrary questions about the data. The whole point of ZK proofs is the zero knowledge part. If you don't care about the person being able to see the info

You think peoples licenses / passports are little computers with API's built into them that return arbitrary information on demand? Over the internet?

by TimJRobinson 2y ago
A more complex way they are currently used is for proving arbitrary computation. One of the most obvious flaws of blockchains is that every node needs to re-run every transaction to know that the block is valid, leading to the same computat

Yea you can prove you're some set of users without revealing which one. This is useful in the case of whistle blowing you can prove you do work at a company, or say a US Senator can show the government is up to no good and prove they a

What do you mean scoped to a particular proof? There are different proof types like there are different hashing algorithms, they can all prove any data just like sha256 and md5 can hash any data. How do you verify the password meets certain
