I think the Nuclear Bomb is still scarier. But AI is not scary for its destructive potential but for its potential to disrupt our society fundamentally, and not just in a good way.

AI excels in both making weapons of all kinds and effectively targeting them, as the resent war has shown - AI is more dangerous, and can be more destructive, than all weapons taken together.
I think Git specifically with jj is still a massively good tool. There are some interesting alternatives happening like Fossil with its auto commit which for single devs is probably realy nice.
Or Pijul but thats very early stage.
Alternatively I had the idea of something that automatically syncs your current working progress similar to how Word and Excel autosave work. With a main "branch" thats never developed in and will only be merged into from synced streams. But that idea is nowhere near cooked out yet.
I am fundamentally against spyware that constantly monitors you and reports anything. Because of the constant and pre crime nature of it.
On the other hand i am actually not fundamentally against turning over data when independent judges sign a warrant.
This is arguably a very tight rope to walk but i think thats the most realistic comporomise between my right to privacy and the right of others to get justice when something is done onto them.
Perhaps you may not remember the US government's tendency to invade privacy for suspicious reasons (that is, at the very least extra-legal and sometimes downright unconstitutional).
You mentioned a warrant. I do not believe that has been a required threshold.
I am not American so my lense may be a different one.
What I am coming from is basically an extension of the German Laws that Govern the Mail Secret (Briefgeheimnis) which actually is constitutionally enshrined in the German constitution.
But has notable exceptions that can be made uppon federal law. The burden for these is supposed to be pretty high.
I think this should not happen willy nilly. And if thats the case in the US I am obviously against it.
It is a complex multi layered subject because it has to weigh the rights of multiple people against each other.
forkrun complements things like SLURM (and even MPI). forkrun is intra-node, and is all about utilizing all the resources any given node as efficiently as possible, including when the node has a deep NUMA topology (e.g., it's EPYC-based). This allows SLURM and MPI to focus on inter-node work distribution and coordinating who gets to run things on which node and things like that.
tl;dr: forkrun takes over the "last mile" of actually running things on a given single node, so SLURM can focus on what it does best: efficiently allocating and distributing work to different nodes across the cluster.

Fundamentally space travel is not save, it cannot be (atleast at our Technological level) Space is unimaginably hostile to life. We cannot reduce this danger to zero.
This is (no offense) intellectually dishonest. Nobody wants the risk to be zero. What we want is that, if there is a specific KNOWN flaw in a life-critical system, that the flaw is addressed and the shuttle re-tested before humans are placed in it.
There's no good reason not to do this, except as a lazy cost-cutting measure (and, presumably, under time pressure to perform the eventual moon landing mission within the timeframe of Trump's presidency).
