"lose interest" is not the same as "cease loving" Relationships can go through "I love you, but I don't like you" times. It happens on short timescales all the time. If you are really doing the "til death do us part", and you should, then risking government meddling in gifting each other with a public promise to remain faithful, says "I do" all the more. If there is no risk then there really isn't any promise.

If life is about self-replicating information, then priests and religious are inheriting 10, 30, and 100 fold.

There is a world of difference between an obedient wife and a pushover, just like there is a world of difference between a husband who leads and a bully. No one serious wants a pushover or a bully. The result is a lot more cooperation and self-sacrifice than the 1950s would have believe.

There are no guarantees in life. Divorce aside, you could get married and have your spouse die, get sick/injured, lose interest, buy NFTs, etc.

Marriage, like life, isn't about what you get out of it, it is about what you give to it. Do you love your gf? What are you willing to lay on the line to give them the best possible life? Getting married is, or should be, a complete surrender of yourself for your wife, your children, and the future of humanity. Do you think your gf would want out of a marriage where you are dedicated to her and to your children?

Total self-sacrifice is tough to commit to, and it will pull more out of you than you knew you had, but it is also the only investment that will lead to contentment and a happy death. Choose wisely, choose life, choose love.

I probably shouldn't care how many followers or likes you have, only how many of my friends follow you and like what you have to say. That gives a better picture of how cool you are from my vantage.

Encrypted in a distributed filesystem. Distributed between your own devices and any backup agreements you have with close contacts.

Most application specific keys would be unlocked as needed by a bearer token from authorized applications. Even if they had access to your key file they could only get the keys they are already authorized to use, and which will expire anyway.

The master key would get unlocked by a passphrase or similar that you train people to never actually use, unless they are rotating keys. Kind of like how cert chains work.

1) Bob creates a master keypair

2) Bob immediately creates and signs domain specific keypairs, communication, banking.

3) Bob locks his master keypair with a key derived from a passphrase and a server key for his parent device and an on device nonce.

4) Bob uses his domain specific keys to create application specific keys.

5) Bob befriends Alice

6) Alice agrees to be a sort of notary for Bob. They do a key exchange that Bob uses to re-encrypt his master key instead of the server key.

7) Bob deletes the nonce on his key server thereby locking his original key file forever.

8) Bob can now only unlock the new key file by repeating the key exchange with Alice.

I am somewhat making this up as I go, but I have thought about it a good deal in the past. You can specify the key derivation however you want and do it as many times as you want. This way Bob could require help from Alice AND Alicia for additional security or Alice OR Alicia for flexibility. You could do N out of M friends from a trusted list.

You just don't want people to have to know that is what is happening. All of the above is automated.

There would need to be some careful UI choices on your trusted friends devices so even if Bob is completely compromised, the attacker would have to convince Alice they were really Bob in person. Maybe that feature only works via nearfield communication etc.

To keep Bob from just going to Alice to help rotate his keys and reclaim his account the attacker would have to compromise Alice as well. Under and N out of M scheme (death happens) it would get pretty difficult.

Which is why you design your UI such that no one needs to know about key pairs. "I gave my friend a blue check by comparing faces on our phones!"

No need to mention that the faces are generated from a DH key exchange and that picking the matching faces verifies and signs your friend's public key.

Also, have keys only sign application specific keys so normal people don't access their root key except on occasions so rare that it wouldn't be a problem to appoint a custodian that gives you permission to unlock your own key.

Back to endorsing Bluesky I see.

Only because this is the thing I think is important. I want whole planets dedicated to pandas just because we can. I've already encountered authoritarians that think no one should be allowed to leave. Sounds like a thing the E.U. might attempt.

It doesn't actually prevent anyone from going anywhere. It is a consideration but hardly a big one. If you launch on a hyperbolic trajectory your chances of hitting anything are miniscule. This isn't wall-E.

How does space junk keep people from leaving and why is that desirable?

There's a dad joke in there somewhere but I can't seem to catch it.

I've always been suspicious of the scifi fantasy of talking to our computers. Is it really easier to say "computer, lights!" Than to flip a switch? Are people going to sit in coffee shops or cubicals talking out loud? Most people prefer to text other human on stupid virtual keyboards than to be forced to talk.

I don't think there is no place for it. It is nice to be able to tell my wife's Tesla to turn on the dome lights, but only because the controls are buried in a menu somewhere. Likewise there are times I want to use some obtuse software like Blender and after searching for a tool, view, or setting I'd appreciate just being able tell the computer to do it.

It certainly makes it easier, but it isn't a sliver bullet. It comes down to how sane crate developers are. I avoid crates with tons of dependencies. Also if a crate has an interface that depends on you passing types from a specific version of some other crate, things get annoying and you get cryptic errors about not satisfying trait bounds.

It depends on the project you are building. Some use crates that use other crates ad infinitum like every other modern project. Once they are built, however, it shouldn't have to build them again unless you change library or compiler versions.

To me this is a critical step in generative AI. We ask it to reason about the world without any intuitive model of what the world is. Training should involve translations between, text, audio, images, video, 3d models, and 3d animations. That would force it to develop an intermediary understanding of the world.

Thank you for reminding me to be grateful for rustup and cargo.

Yes, that also works. Inductive vs capacitive. I think a full filter uses both. It has been so long since college.

Yes. You'd have to put your phone in a faraday cage with a signal repeater so you could analyze the traffic.
