(This applies to Sol but probably works for Astra too)
I've created with Sol a skill called Low Quota Mode that intends to reduce the use of tokens usages by the frontier (intelligent model) and delegate the use of bulk reading of docs/code and implementation to a sub-agent running Luna Max. Sol is asked to supervise, read the diffs and approves the commit/pr.
The skill might need some iterations while you use it, for example at the end of a rough session you can ask Sol how did it went, which were the points of conflict with Luna and try to iron them little by little by editing the skill.
Also in difficult tasks, ask to babysit the sub-agent model, I've seen it makes more effort into communication between frontier and sub-agent to guide the task with more care.
So far it has reduced my tokens usage a lot (have not quantified but the quota lasts more).
I do "take pride" in things I put my time and thinking into, regardless of whether it is assisted or not. For example, I am somehow proud and like some songs that I produced using Suno because of the days I spent iterating on them.
Also in vibed projects that I put my time on. It is also true that it's been a long time without going back to a class or system I coded by hand just to "admire it" and get that feeling of, "omg, this class is fire!"
I see e2e encryption over photo galleries a must since is a way of protecting yourself against misconfigured servers, future exploits or unpatched software.
For me it is more like, i should have started leaving a trace before the invention of modern genAI, now maybe is late. I could have had a trusted trace to prove that I am a genuine human, now I get the impression that faceless new accounts/profiles or whatever are all fake and automatically managed.
It's never too late; the important part is to have a personality and your own opinions. AI is agreeable, they will just go along with whatever information they are prompted with, unless they get an explicit prompt to be disagreeable. But you as a human have morals, values, experience and knowledge that you can apply to e.g. leaving comments or writing things.
But this was good advice years ago too. The average Facebook or Youtube comment section feels like it's full of empty drones, repeated and predictable comments that don't actually add much. HN comments are a breath of fresh air in that regard. Reddit can be to some degree, as long as you filter out the predictable kneejerk reactions and "I also choose this guy's dead wife" meme comments.
I agree, and i think one more thing should be also explicit; save files.
Whether the game works offline, and until when the servers are guaranteed, is one part. But the savegames and progression data should also belong to the user.
The game is made by the studio, sure, but the save file is the part I construct by playing. It is my time, my choices, my progress, my world state and my memories.
So I would add a clear principle that the publisher should not be able to kidnap the user's save data.
A mapping from a scarce but human readable name to a non-scarce but not human readable name would't be that hard, but we haven't done this yet.
If we do it it will probably be an additional crate reusing some of our infrastructure, not built in to iroh itself. There are a lot of use cases where the non human readable names work perfectly fine.
We would implement two versions, one using DNS and one using an appropriate decentralized system like ENS.
That is not true, over an extended task that you cannot keep complete in memory humans do not behave with 100% consistency.
I have labeled datasets with a human team and shown the same task to the same user on a different day, and they answered differently. Of course, they are usually consistent with themselves most of the time but not always.
What it would be interesting is a photo service back-end that can completely run with encrypted files in the server, like iCloud with Advance Data Protection.
All the processing is done on-device (phone) and the server is just for distribution
