nope, you're definitely not understanding me correctly.

In the US if I want to see my primary care doctor I need to wait 2 months for the appointment.

I pay $500 per month for the privilege (and a $50 copay)

So I’m paying $1000 in the time period where I’m getting no service.

Of course, putting the metadata service into its own separate system is better. That's how Amazon does it with the modern AWS. A separate Nitro card handles all the networking and management.

But if you're within the classic hypervisor model, then it doesn't really matter that much. The attack surface of a simple plain HTTP key-value storage is negligible compared to all other privileged code that needs to run on the host.

Sure, each tenant needs to have its own instance of the metadata service, and it should be bound to listen on the tenant-specific interface. AWS also used to set the max TTL on these interface to 1, so the packets would be dropped by routers.

Only because we don't allow ourselves to get serious until we hit like 25 years old imo, and only barely then. Imagine a 22 year old raised among Shaolin monks. Probably would be the wisest person you will ever meet.

What about salt water batteries? Seem almost commodity

Not true. So many people love to come out of the woodwork on these openclaw posts who have no first hand knowledge of the software. It is stunning.

More than 25% of users seems like a pretty accurate "probably".

MacOS "was" big-endian due to 68k and later PPC cpu's (the PPC Mac's could've been little but Apple picked big for convenience and porting).

Their x86 changeover moved the CPU's to little-endian and Aarch64 continues solidifies that tradition.

Same with Java, there's probably a strong influence from SPARC's and with PPC, 68k and SPARC being relevant back in the 90s it wasn't a bold choice.

But all of this is more or less legacy at this point, I have little reason to believe that the types of code I write will ever end up on a s390 or any other big-endian platform unless something truly revolutionizes the computing landscape since x86, aarch64, risc-v and so on run little now.

Almost like a seeking flak shell. I had no idea.

I don't use OpenClaw, but I still run my Claude Code and Codex as limited macOS user accounts and just have a script `become-agent <name> [cmd ...]` that does some sudo stuff to run as the limited user so they don't have any of my environment or directory access, or really any system-level admin access at all. They can use and write to their home directories as usual, which makes things easier to configure since those CLI harnesses really like when $HOME is configured and works as expected.

It's a good compromise between running as me and full sandbox-exec. Multi-user Unix-y systems were designed for this kind of stuff since decades ago.

That's fine with me.

Same applies to Windows or UNIX based packages, other than systems like iDevices, Android or UWP, where applications are sandboxed.

However people around here hate sandboxing on their OSes.

I think the answer for most people is one of "I wasn't dealt the right hand of cards by fate" and/or "I don't want to spend my life acting like a sociopath and exploiting others for a small chance at great wealth."

Been getting this on mobile but desktop is fine. No idea what’s going on.

But anywho, try the official archive site: https://web.archive.org/web/20260403005348/https://www.bbc.c...

The greatest philosophers are rarely the wealthiest people. Wealth generally comes from being presented with opportunities, putting in the work to make the most of those opportunities, and being lucky enough that they end up being good. Intelligence can be an asset here, but bigger assets are knowing people already in positions of power, already having resources you can leverage, and being willing sacrifice years of your life in pursuit of wealth. Those factors don't require you to be well reasoned, logical, or intelligent.

It coined a catchy phrase but the essay just described a change that was happening, I don't think it effected any change itself.

Right, like running a sanitation department for a city. Who wants to do that? No one, but it's pretty important and everyone will raise hell and almost riot when it's not working.

>This discussion is a sea of jealously and a perfect example.

Yes, the only reason anyone could have for criticizing the ultra-wealthy is jealousy. It's just the haders, b.

You'd think, but then you get Northeastern states paying poor people thousands of dollars a year to keep their oil heat going.

Hint: the reason why your observations about reality doesn’t match up to your expectations is because the premise you’ve built for yourself is wrong.

This is obvious to the outsider. The premise that you made up for yourself is that Europe wants to change Meta and how it works to protect its citizens. It’s obvious to me that this is not the goal. The goal is to extract wealth from those companies under the guise of consumer protection.

The EU makes more from regulating and taxing US tech companies than it makes from its own quaint tech sector. Ban and blocking those companies is never going to happen for this reason. Why destroy your cash cow?

I don't think there's a minimum level of competence even. You can get very wealthy by sheer luck and timing.

Also, a lot of wealthly people aren't stupid like we think. They're evil, which is different. And being evil is actually pretty good for being wealthy. Most people are encumbered by their morality. Evil people are not, so they can do much more.

> "no quarter, no mercy"

Which is exactly how him and his friends should be dealt with by the courts.

I largely subscribe to the use boring tech ethos ... but php? come on man.

and yet... successful people have used it to build really successful things: Facebook, Tumblr (I think), the things Marco's been involved with.

I just dunno outside of meta should we really be pushing php with all its flaws? or is it still flawed and I need to update my priors?

The capacity to grant access as a specific remote user is present without certs as well right? The typical authorized_keys file lives under a user directory and grants access only to that user.

So rob American businesses blind, but say you didn’t, but if you did, they had it coming anyway because of an unsubstantiated flimsy moral justification that disregards the purchasing choices of the EU citizenry, businesses and governments?
