In its current state the economics of the company make little sense to me. The astronomical costs to execute a prompt versus the relatively tiny price tag to the customer smells like an Enron scandal to me except everyone knows it and we’ve

I have an interest for tools in this area. Is this offering something you couldn’t get by using something like netbox[1] or Nautobot[2]? 1: https://github.com/netbox-community/netbox 2: https://github.com&#

I was reading the article but I found little consideration that light at night isn’t necessarily the cause of heart changes but the same habits that would be indicative of light at night; long periods of sitting, lack of mobility, stimulant

That works for a while until you have to do a restore from backup and the apps that used to be on the phone will not reinstall because they dropped support. Also make sure to have optimize storage off, so apps don’t just disappear randomly.

I think having more distribution in launch locations and more provider options will ultimately be a net positive in the long run.

November sure will be interesting and lots of fun. Controlling the speed of mail delivery is certainly one lever the executive branch has up the sleeve. Perhaps not direct control on paper; we threw the book out years ago.

Is the wifi spec or perhaps chip required for it subject to export control?

One silver lining about all this is that at least we got relentless prosecution against sandwich throwers. A precedent has been set for any and all hoagie heroes or throwers of sandwiches. The real mockery is that the Biden administration d

If you can offer a reduced AI slop place where i can simply keep contacts and stay updated with their career progression, I’d drop LinkedIn in a heartbeat. The question is and always has been how can you monetize that for yourself without t

What’s your point? The bar to arrest him is higher than the bar for termination so it’s highly likely he’ll be fired at the very least, especially if he’s charged. Also, more broadly, what I mentioned above is a general statement about firi

Completely agree that there is a possible silver lining of exposing some of these. However, even if they get fired from this department, they often just get hired later by their buddies in the neighboring county.

Yes I think most of those boxes are checked. I’m still somewhat fascinated/baffled by the fact that many people seem to paradoxically associate these traits with “good leadership.” It’s a tale as old as time.

Based on my observations, ahem research, you must not have fired developers to make room for AI. Therefore, you are not qualified to be a CEO.

Ooo yeah. Mmk that’d be great.

Oh so you’re saying that’s what happened to the Tang dynasty and this is just a huge coverup.

I had used codex to reverse engineer an electric skateboard to unbrick it. It was a bit more involved because it required soldering wires directly to the UART headers in a very awkward location. Took about 10 hours and it now works fine. Wi

I’m now wondering if Apple and Google will be next. Mileage may vary but I find my Apple Watch to be accurate enough. That said, all users of these devices should understand their limitations though and take what they see with a grain of sa

For what legitimate reason would Flock be giving 1,200 vendors access to the city’s information? I don’t see how they’re going to be able to feasibly walk back from this without taking a massive punch to their business. And also great timin
