My love for NixOS really became clear when I realized I never have to write Nix again by hand.

A WIP NixOS config for working with agents:

Same. I have a full homelab and multiple macs, can’t say I’ve written a line of real Nix code by hand.

If you’re itching to try Nix, now is the time.

Same.

Can't imagine going back to the status quo where my system is the accumulation of terminal commands over time instead of a config file.

Not to mention the non-idempotent python + bash + ssh hell of Ansible, or awful DSLs such as Salt, Puppet, Chef, etc.

Base e is optimal under a certain metric, and 3 is closest to e.

Preventing such attacks is one of the main reasons why custom hardware is required. For more info, search for "spoof" in this section of the whitepaper:

Each Orb has a private signing key that's generated + stored inside a secure element. For more info, search for "secure element" in the following sections of the whitepaper:

Worldcoin | Berlin & San Francisco | Onsite & Remote | Full Time | Embedded Systems | IoT Software | Cloud Security | https://worldcoin.org/

Worldcoin is a new, collectively-owned global currency that will be distributed fairly to as many people as possible. Worldcoin is built on top of the Ethereum blockchain, and is focused on decentralizing trust, preserving privacy, and scaling globally.

People can claim their free share of Worldcoin by signing up with an Orb, our custom hardware device that confirms that each new person is unique to the network. A privacy-preserving signup process is possible through a novel combination of biometrics, machine learning, and zero-knowledge cryptography. In addition to being widely inclusive, the Worldcoin network will support the first scalable "Proof-of-Personhood," a critical primitive for the emerging Web3 ecosystem.

To learn more about our approach, see:

Crypto & Privacy: https://worldcoin.org/how-the-launch-works#crypto

Proof-of-Personhood: https://worldcoin.org/how-the-launch-works#solving-the-uniqu...

We're actively looking for engineers with extensive experience in:

- Rust development

- Firmware development on microcontrollers

- Linux security

- IoT device fleet management

- Cloud security

- Machine learning

All iris hashes are publicly saved, but not linked to wallets. Details here: https://worldcoin.org/how-it-works#crypto (Account Privacy section)

I think it's the idea of collecting them in the first place that most people are uncomfortable with. It's still a lot of trust to put in the hands of a private company. It reminds of the whole brouhaha with Apple and their CSAM privacy measures.

The wallet and iris hash are never linked. The privacy properties of a Worldcoin wallet are identical to an Ethereum wallet (i.e. pseudonymous until you doxx yourself).

See https://worldcoin.org/how-it-works#crypto

So you can have multiple wallets but only once receive your free share?
