By this logic, people should still be hanging out in the streets in all those villages where the master race dominates. And yet, we still only observe the bums and the retired hanging out with a day to fill. Any idea how that impacts your hypothesis?
no thank you, there are things I do not want Claude to have rwx on. like my entire f*cking system. I run llms in a docker container with just the folder I'm working in.
If you grant access to the Nix daemon socket but not writing outside the current directory, that's an effective sandbox. It allows evaluating derivations but not actually installing them.
Sounds like a great way to stunt development. Alcohol and cigarettes are unambiguously harmful to children. Computing is not so unambiguous, it has a lot of benefits. How many of us here would lead very different lives if we were treated that way?
you can provide gimped versions. micro controllers, school laptops that don't go places they shouldn't go, gimmicky age checks on anything they can use outside of adult supervision.
Define 'gimped', microcontrollers are able to play NSFW games in Spanish/English for the Z-Machine interpreter. An ESP32 it's more than enough. A Game Boy it's more than enough, too. Ditto with 8/16 bit microcomputer out there. I can even run these games under FreeDOS. Good luck implementing accounts on that.
And the example it's I-0, (I-0.z5, Interstatal Zero) both in English and the faithfully Spanish translation done from the Spanish IF community. Both games are nearly 30 years old.
A minor it's legally a kid even if some guy at 16 has nothing to do with an actual kid aged 10-11. The goverment shouldn't do what the ISPs should have been doing if 14yo get smartphones: locked down DNS' -no porn, no gambling, no violence, no AI-, and browser settings plus no permissions to install any software modulo a curated set for everyone at F-Droid.
With no smartphones until they hit 14-15 you don't need no stinky 1984 like laws; ISP would just comply with restricted DNS' per device and that's it. Ah, modern wireless networks such as the ones from town halls and the like? These should already have restricted DNS' for porn and the like.
Next, a PC it's a totally different device, you as a parent should be the accountable one and not the goverment. Your kids want to set a Minetest and some private server to play games and chat without groomers stalking them? teach them.
Enforcing computing stuff it's impossible, with libre software anything can be a general purpose computer. A PSP with a bluetooth keyboard, a PocketCHIP, any smartphone, even the mentioned Amiga FPGA computer, where can connect and use far more modern services than anything you would expect in 1994.
This could be an option with children under the age of 12. Maybe only let them use a computer or gaming console in the living room, or something like that.
From the comment closing the revert by Poettering:

It's an element of faith, not fact. If you simulate a human body from quarks up, the physics won't know if it's running on base reality or in a computer.
The worse part is you can't know that your current life isn't one of those. Everything that you think of as perks of being alive could be part of the protocol to keep you cooperative.
Scott Aaronson wrote a bit about the following thought [0]. If copying a brain and simulating reality ala The Matrix is possible at all, then if you get your brain copied you live one biological live but your copies have an unbounded number of existences (millions? billions? trillions?)
So, if copying brains is possible, and you don't know which version of you you are, you might have odds of, say, 1 to 1 trillion to be living your first, biological live.
Which is to say, if copying brains is possible, you are likely to be running in a simulation already.
[0] there's multiple links and I can't find where I first read, but I found this one from 2024, https://scottaaronson.blog/?p=7774 and uhh.. turns out the argument isn't from him personally (and he doesn't even believe on it), and is best presented here https://simulation-argument.com/ (though it's presented very differently so idk)
the important thing is for you to think you have the options, and that when you do them, you get the whole benefits and the simulation pays the whole cost. they could easily put precalculated memories in your address space and save the compute.
