I don’t get it. Did they use the MTA budget or something? If the train is better then just build the train. Certainly these guys aren’t stopping you.

These massive green text attempts started becoming common recently and honestly they’re excruciatingly boring. Misses the entire value of the medium. Very “hello, fellow kids”.

Indeed, it would seem that both positions are equally well-substantiated.

This is a lot of content-free stuff but the reality is that if you’re hoping that customers will just write software to integrate with your SaaS you have to ask yourself why they wouldn’t also just write your SaaS. So either you go to them,

So we know Claude’s mitigation. What is Ramp’s? Same warning dialog? It’s funny that this technology only admits in-band signaling. Given that, any foreign content is risky. It’s actually quite interesting that the current technological eco

I only use GitHub for unified login git access to a bunch of repos. These other “forges” (didn’t know that was the term - cool) are all almost certain to put Anubis in front and make a logged out user be unable to access the code. I get why

Recent performance of Claude Opus 4.7 and Claude Code has been poor because of context bloat. Model no longer obeys instructions well. Codex on medium reasoning and fast mode is often better. I have simple local manual eval through harness

Interesting, no bidding flow entirely first party and contextual.

Realistically, I think anyone can tell when they’re being asked “Really? Lions will bite your head off if you put it in their mouths? Prove it”

Seems like the CNPV used is a Trump admin project though no idea how much RFK is involved. If they Warp Speed All The Things that’s a pretty good idea.

I mean, obviously all the behaviors in the article are undesirable. The joke is in proposing other ones. Surely people are being amusingly self deprecating not precisely honest.

There are many good examples online if you care to actually do it rather than perform ironic questioning as an art form.

Oh totally. In general I don’t think you can conclude anything about anyone, really. Yesterday they were someone. Today someone else.

I interviewed a Meta Senior SWE in 2023. Guy couldn't write the most basic Python loop. Attempts were made. I didn't expect a list comprehension. This was just a warmup exercise fizz-buzz level so everyone can feel confident and t

I just think they should acknowledge the native people whose land it is. It’s not performative unless you’re a MAGA fascist. It’s just considerate.

Hard to do. The same people with the collection and tracking infrastructure required are infinitely sue-able so you need legal protection if anything goes wrong.

I like to pay the author for the marginal cost and then once it's hit a sum that can be transferred I do that. e.g. I estimate about $1E-12 per time I hit Cmd-C and Cmd-V on each book. So far, no author has hit the threshold for me to

The 'textbook cartel' plays the same role for authors as Ticketmaster plays for artists: they're the bad guy so that artists can charge more.

This banana has reached mythical banana status because of rarity. The flavor of various tropical bananas is way better. Both Taiwan and India have many varieties substantially better tasting than Gros Michel.

Nah he’s bullshitting. It’s 1% of calls, not callers. If you’re in the 1% you’re not making another call. If you’re in the 99% you get to call again tomorrow. Listen, if you want to check your wellness be my guest. I won’t be.

Yeah, that's the social engineering part. It's a hacker trick. "Cmaan, I'm a little guy I'm a little birthday boy" https://x.com/eshear/status/1941696051884458278?s=20

UK stats are bogus because one in five new cars there are paid for by the government under the Motability scheme. What it actually costs is hard to say because we don't know where they're measuring the price at. Motability could h

I use a similar trick with most software. Instead of buying the online one, I get it on The Pirate Bay. These days even open source software you can simply just apply Claude and get a different version. People online will kick up a fuss abo

The Europeans want us out of Europe. So maybe we should go. I think that seems mutually agreeable. Let them slaughter each other again and we can come stop it and pick up the pieces. Again. Always have to be the adult in the room.

The EU bans US chicken and has a quota for US beef. We let you sell at a premium rather than ban you. Don’t act as if that’s somehow worse, but I think you could convince Trump that bans are better than tariffs if you like. Russia/Ukra
