CUDA is over a decade of investment. I left CUDA toolkit team in 2014 and it was probably around 10 years old back then. Can't build something comparable fast.

Shell history is wiped out after user logged out for a reason. More details are here - https://www.securityhq.com/blog/security-101-dont-bash-your-....
It is not. I definitely use months-old bash history through !? shortcuts.

I don't understand the logic with employers dropping warnings like that. I knew ~2mo before my employer announced layoffs and it caused much unnecessary anxiety in my life.
Gives you a peace of mind once it is over. Also, allows you to prepare contingencies. Our company only now was recovering from the last year layoffs and now it is suddenly hit again. It would've been much more humane to know in advance not to relax.

Imagine working somewhere and then reading "The studio stressed the layoffs are not imminent, but will take place later this year as Pixar focuses on making less content". Then having to go to work each day at a place that keeps saying we are all family here knowing that 2/10 of you are going to get axed. I have to think they will lose at least 10% just through attrition. Although for many of those people I would imagine they have landed their dream job; feel bad for them.
I feel like there's a high chance of a layoff in my org as they had layoffs in other orgs yesterday and mine is one of major holdouts. I would very much wished for something definite, either for them to say that nothing currently planned or to say that it will happen later this month or something.

What is the security of this?
1. If someone steals my laptop & breaks in, can they get access to all my history
2. After breaking, if they run `atuin key` will get them the key for my history which they can use from any device (if they know the userid)
3. If you are running servers passing passwords as command line arguments in that device, they have all that.
What do you have in the history that’s sensitive? Keys, passwords should not be in shell history anyways (e.g. I delete them from bash history if I enter by mistake)

You don't need any of it.
History is useful enough to exist as a feature, I up-arrow routinely, but it doesn't actually matter when it doesn't exist.
I find the idea of going out of your way to preserve and migrate years of shell history and make it searchable in a db about like:
You have a problem that water is flooding your kitchen floor. Normally you deal with a spill with a mop or towels. There is now too much water and so you decide that your normal towels aren't good enough and so you get more & better towels, or even put a sump pump in the corner to keep pumping all this water away.
I've written a lot of complicated pipelines and awk and sed etc, but they were either one-offs that are of hardly any value later, or I made a script, and the few things that are neither of those, are so few they automatically don't matter because they are few.
It's not illegal or immoral, just goofy.
I use those ! Bash history features all the time. I.e. !?some_test to just rerun a test case I ran several months ago. I don’t need to sync histories between PCs (they are different enough) but history is important.
