But but but this is just a fig leaf. The agent will usually have file level access, and even if by some miracle you manage to feed the envvars into your program without LLMs looking over your shoulder, they can edit the files to add print statements.

If you want LLMs to work on your code, and be sure not to have them leak your secrets, you need a testing or staging environment to which they get credentials instead of prod. Now, if only that had been best practice before... Oh wait it was...

Stores of value are, for the most part, societal constructs. Anything has value as long as there is somebody willing to exchange something of theirs for it. That's also what makes value intangible as there is a built-in subjectivity in this.

Gold falls into the category "has always had value, so it will always have value" type of thoughts. And that's just what gives it value, out confidence that we can exchange it for something when you need it.

And yes, one of the government interventions that is pro-citizen could be better retraining programs, which are beneficial to companies too, but that's not the goal, it's to give people a motivation, and a sense of accomplishment, and part of the society.

That's part of it, I'm not saying that companies should keep employees past their usefulness, I'm saying government intervention should be pro-citizen first, and pro-economy second (ideally the latter is a logical consequence of the former). Currently it seems like it's companies first, and workers maybe third to last, but only because companies still need workers (and they try really hard to make those obsolete too).

That results in profit maximizing for the few who made it to the carpet floors, and nothing for the rest. It's become too extractive, and short sighted.

I wonder if this should be the case. The state consists of it's voters and it's voted representatives. Companies and the economy in general, are secondary entities (unless you really treat them as people, which opens a whole can of worms, see PACs etc), and a means to an end, not an end in and of itself.

As such, yes, be pro-economy, but don't forget the people having to live in that society.

Brownian motion in real life.

Long time `rich` and `textual` user here, just wanted to say thanks :-)

There is also an implementation by Andrew Poelstra (one of the Bulletproof authors) in a PR to the secp256k1-zkp repository: https://github.com/ElementsProject/secp256k1-zkp/pull/23

Now I feed kind of smug about my Yubikey + passwordstore setup, plain GPG wins again :-)
