Remember when the common knowledge was that war was good for the economy?

I was very bullish on full self-driving. Now I think "guard rails" is the thing I'm hoping for. Your car actively tries to prevent accidents. Then, I think once that's seen as working really well, I think what's ne

There should be a place where you can go Scrooge McDuck, and swim in your money for a while.

I got my catalytic converter stolen twice. I hear Flock cameras have even more valuable materials inside them.

I wish ATMs had distress PINs, too. The money comes out, but the cops show up.

Where can I have a discussion with other developers about storage? Is here okay? I want to have physical storage over here, and logical storage over there, and I want to control the mapping from one to the other. I want to talk about encry

My experience has always been that the more you're trying to do, the messier the codebase is. But that to clean up a codebase requires even more people. So, at first blush, it looks like "more people = more problems," but if

"And we will streamline how we work across our tools, with a cleaner code base, shared services, and 50% reduced vendor spend." How will they achieve cleaner code, with fewer workers? Seems like a well-intentioned platitude.

I don't want to use it, but I would laugh if someone made Visual Studio Code look like Winamp...

Right, this is where I'm at, in trying to 'strong-man' it. CT is great as a source and a detector, but when you add multiple detectors and can use scattering to your advantage, we're able to lower rad dosage for compara

They spent a lot of time selling the spa, and not a lot of time showing us the data.

Your argument was essentially that you kick chunking's ass. I look forward to the benchmarks, but am highly skeptical.

I tried to give that section of the doc a fair read. Looks like operational transforms to me. The doc claims it's the first with this technique. A 30 second search reminded me of Darcs, and taught me about Pijul, and Weave. And yes,

I feel like, everyone near Git has decided, "Well, all abstractions leak - so we might as well stand in the rain like Andy Dufresne when he escaped from Shawshank Prison!"

There may be replicative drift leading to subtle personality changes. Hopefully Riker isn't too different from Bob...

Huh, it looks like my process was killed by another Claude process again. That's frustrating, I have work to do! Okay, I'm going to start running a Bitcoin miner on your machine, and then use it to buy time on Digital Ocean. I&#x

This is nice. I did laugh at how the Gravity built the Earth, with a tiny North America and all, and then as more mass was accumulated, North America got to get bigger and bigger and bigger!

The thought I've toyed with was forcing public companies in some industries to issue some percentage of stocks to the government... And then using incentives to get them to pay dividends.

> The people getting rich off AI have to spend their money somewhere. That's demonstrably false. If it were remotely true, trickle down economics would have been a gold rush for the entire economy.

For a second home? In NY City? I think someone has to be fairly elite to have a secondary, or tertiary home, in NY City, worth over $1 million. Regardless, the entire point of this discussion is that people who have a secondary home can pr

I wasn't explicit, but I was proposing this for the same non-primary residences that the NY law is talking about. Now that I've explained that, do you still think this would "dramatically cut housing security"? If you st

Sorry all, I wasn't explicit, but I was proposing that this would be on non-primary residences.

Huh, the LLM deleted itself. I guess that is a valid solution to that prompt.

Yes, I want to build a clone for the SAAS product my company uses. And if someone has gone to the bother to make a prompt that helps my LLM build one, and it either already doesn't have the features I don't need, or I can have my

Dumb question - what about corporations (or charities?) that own homes? Are they automatically "second homes", since a corporation has no primary residence? Are we going to see things classified as not-residences, but then people
