OpenAI just released “codex security”, worth trying (along with other suggestions) if your org has access https://openai.com/index/codex-security-now-in-research-prev...

Have you tried docker sandboxes? https://docs.docker.com/ai/sandboxes/

The docker desktop license requirement is a factor, though. You need a paid subscription if your company has something like 250 employees or $10 million in annual revenue

All the more important for people who value the rule of law to continue to call it the Department of Defense. Executive power ultimately depends on acceptance and compliance. Corrupt and unconstitutional actions are only legitimized by collective acceptance


100% agree, many people don’t realize just how harmful wood smoke is. It’s also the main source of pollution in the Bay Area during the winter. Unfortunately energy costs are high enough here that people resort to burning wood to save money, so collectively beneficial policies are likely to face resistance (understandably).

The purpleair map has been awesome to at least make the problem visible. I hope they are using it to aid enforcement on spare the air days.

“domestic wood-burning is the largest source of particulate pollution in the UK. Only 8% of the UK’s homes burn wood, but this accounts for around 21% of the total PM2.5 emissions, whereas all traffic on the UK roads produces 13%” https://medium.com/the-new-climate/why-the-environmental-mov...

> I breathe in smoke every day through the copious amount of weed I smoke

It shows.


Yes clearly your anecdote is irrefutable proof.


[flagged]


You’re the one claiming smoking cigarettes don’t give lung cancer and it’s all a big conspiracy to mess with you.

So the onus in on you to show that smoking cigarettes doesn’t cause lung cancer despite the overwhelming amount t of scientific evidence that it does.

Do you really think your aggressive behavior will convince anyone that you’re fine and healthy and it’s just everybody else that isn’t?


presuming your suggestion is correct (that forum goers are indistinguishable from walking echo chambers) , wouldnt screaming at forum goers just end up with a scream being returned right at you ?


> Did you notice how they have banned and demonized tobacco, but the lung cancer rate keeps increasing?

No, I noticed the opposite. They demonized tobacco, and lung cancer rates went dowm precipitously.

Rates are down massively compared to where they were before the significant drop in smoking.

> a full 1/3 of lifelong smokers never develop any kind of cancer,

That's "true" in the sense that it's the CVD (Cardiovascular disease) and COPD (Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) that are way more likely to take them out first.

Sure, you absolutely can be 98 years old sucking back on a deathstick, just like you might find yourself screaming "suck it" as you take home that giant lottery cheque with some winnings.

Pachinko's a hell of a game .. but still the house wins.

Putting aside the debate about harm, it's very annoying filling the shared air with wood smoke. I'm glad you think you're invulnerable to smoke.



> the lung cancer rate keeps increasing? I just don't get it!

In what world is he a “pseudo” philanthropist? He’s already given more than $60 Billion away and pledged to donate 99%+ of his wealth. He has also called for his class of ultra-wealthy to be taxed more


Also, on what planet did Ancient Greeks not celebrate their wealthy.


Also why are they "pseudo-Gods?"


Not everyone is so unimaginative and myopic ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


There was. From the article: '''

ZeroEyes said that trained employees review alerts before they are sent and that its software can make a lifesaving difference in averting mass shootings by alerting law enforcement to weapons on campus within seconds. At Lawton Chiles, the student flagged by ZeroEyes was holding his musical instrument like a rifle, co-founder Sam Alaimo told The Washington Post. “We don’t think we made an error, nor does the school,” Alaimo said. “That was better to dispatch [police] than not dispatch.”

“It’s not rocket science — you’ve either got to pay more, or you’ve got to let in way more people. … There are wonderful, caring people all over the world who would like to come care for our seniors at the wages we’re willing to pay, and we just have to let them in,” Gruber said.

This is the crux of it. The government should also subsidize and directly administer more senior care, especially given the economic drag from having family members step into these roles


The government actively tries to block any attempt. After two father deaths and now my mother in elderly care, it’s a damned nightmare. They have means but can’t make decisions. They get easily confused. I could go on but my sister and I basically have badges at the facility because of their short staff. We have real jobs this takes away from.


The other wealthier boomers and rich assholes have long decided they'd rather squeeze even more blood from the stone because they have the money to cover any senior care they need. This was a problem slowly coming down the tracks for decades but why fix it when it can be used to turn a profit. Especially when people continue to act against their own self interest.


The vast majority of the US population is immigrants, or their descendants. You can think of immigration as the cause of all these expensive to care for retirees.

All of my ancestors came over and did hard jobs for low pay, which is essentially what is being suggested here. The cycle repeats.


It was predicted a few decades ago by looking a demographics. Where would we be now if we hadn't had all that time to prepare?


Same spot because we made the choice to do nothing different with the lead time. At least the population compression is locked in [1], the short term pain will be dealt with regardless.

I was really surprised this is technically possible on iOS, so I watched the demo video again and noticed the hardware plugged in and a “screen broadcast” going on. The dongle is mentioned [here](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/blue):

‘On iPhone, a tiny USB-C plug-in (“Bud”) provides precise input control’

Really cool they got this to work and it seems great for accessibility. I wonder how Apple feels about it
