LMS’s are a lot like programming languages. There’s the ones people complain about and the ones no one uses.

It depends on what you pay for. If you need FedRamp or IL4+ compliance you are likely on dedicated infrastructure. Everyone else uses multi tenancy.

I wonder what will happen to the entire legal system. It used to be fairly difficult to create convincing photos and videos. AI can probably fool most court judges now. Or the defense can refute legitimate evidence by saying “it’s AI /

Say what you about the Anna’s Archive Spotify scrape: it made me realize how much music exists and how much music was never listened to.

CLI is great because now I can tell my AI agent to do it. “Fix all dependabot security issues (copy logs) and run tests to validate functionality. Create each dependency as its own stack (or commit) so that contributors may review each libr

Am I the only one that uses a thunderbolt dock and a keyboard + mouse + monitor setup? The Macbook itself is always closed in clamshell mode. The only time I ever use a Macbook as a proper laptop is during meetings, and even then it is brie

So if this is free to use on linux, what is to stop someone from doing what Colima did to Docker? Aka make a tiny Linux VM on MacOS and package Little Snitch within that?

So do enterprises still need Jamf [1]? For context, Jamf is one of the most common MDM tools for organizations. [1]: https://www.jamf.com/

It’s also hard to hire for. Candidates for job openings must be between the ages of 21-31 years old. Yes they are legally forbidden from hiring anyone older. https://www.faa.gov/air-traffic-controller-qualifications

It feels a lot like the FAA and NTSB moving safety checks of the Max 8 to Boeing engineers. Like of course they’re going to OK it…

Modern vehicles make disabling data collection fairly difficult. And even if it is disabled, there is no guarantee data is not being sent despite your user settings. I would love for investigative groups to target the auto industry’s data c

200-500k would make a large negative impact in healthcare. Specialty doctors cannot be trained in a snap, and there are limits on how many MDs and DOs are churned out of schools. So healthcare industries turn to H1Bs to hire specialty posi

As a current parent, I assumed this was due to people having fewer kids, not AI. Additionally, with childcare centers becoming more expensive, many more families are looking to be stay at home parents or using grandparents / relatives

I do this quite often, but I also instruct Claude to limit its output to 2-3 sentences or paragraphs, depending on the context. Also "Write this for a team of software developers / MBA's" goes a long way too. I also do t

The same argument could be made for the book industry, where there are centuries of content available. And yet, people still read new books.

Our standard of practice is to document the “why” in Jira. Then reference that card in the commit message. This gives product owners the ability to embellish as they wish and reduces the need of the dev to repeat themselves.

My question on AI generated contributions and content in general: on a long enough timeline, with ever improving advancements in AI, how can people reliably tell the difference between human and AI generated efforts? Sure now it is easy, bu

I also thought it was hilarious that they invented a brand new metric that (surprise) makes their product’s long term projection look really good (financially).

Similar to the “carbon neutral by X date” promises, this was common around 2016 or so. Notice how companies have mostly cancelled or redefined those promises several years later, once the issue is out of the limelight. If it is not legally

To be fair, the new Apple displays use the same panel so much of this still applies.

IAM comes to mind, with fine grained control over everything. S3 has excellent legal and auditory settings for data, as well as automatic data retention policies. KMS is a very secure and well done service. I dare you to find an equivalent

I have been using 3 VP2788-5K for 6 months. Much better than 1440p or 4k monitors IMO. I spend most of the day on teams meetings and looking at code. Text is very crisp at this DPI. The built in thunderbolt dock works reliably. It is annoyi

FreeTaxUsa [1] exists and is much cheaper than Turbo Tax. That being said, this is not free - you are paying for Claude to do this in both tokens and data. I personally think it is insane to hand over your private financial data to an AI co

The concern is that more features introduces more risk. See CVE-2026-20841 for a recent example. If the application remained a simple text editor, it is unlikely exploits like this would be possible. https://msrc.microsoft.com&#x
