Did they ever pretend, and anyone ever believed that? "Agile" organization is even more of a bullshit concept than "Agile" in the team. Excepting for trivial-size, freshly formed startups, companies cannot be "Agile

Right. One thing I learned over the years is that you can support arbitrarily high level of tech debt and still be able to effectively maintain and enrich a successful software system, as long as you throw enough warm bodies at it . The ov

This only works if AIs can't read each other well enough to stop themselves from ever fighting. So, back way before ChatGPT era, the folks over at AI safety/X-risk think sphere worked out a pretty compelling argument that two AGIs

Makes me think of a question my coworker asked the other day - how is it that with all these stories and reports of people "hearing voices in their head" (of the pushy kind, not usual internal monologue), these voices are always b

That one is ancient history. My 6yo is currently fighting her friends and their parents alike to make them realize and learn that there is an "L" at the end - it's "axolotl", not "axolot".

You can get one Good Friday a year if you live in a country that treats it as bank holiday, or is Catholic enough that it's effectively a day off, even if not an official one. You can get extra Fridays off if you move to a country wi

I don't use or own any Apple devices, and don't play to. But mobile space is a duopoly, and both sides tend to implement the same questionable ideas in lockstep, so developments here will likely affect Android users like myself ju

What exactly does it do? I'm looking at hexl-mode sources in my Emacs, and I see it defining only two faces - hexl-address-region and hexl-ascii-region.

They are not your keys, they're a scoped agreement; using CC keys with OpenClaude meant misrepresenting the client to trick the other party into a discount.

Is it a bug or a feature though? What's more common: wanting to delete a message and have it stay gone, or accidentally deleting the message you wanted to preserve? For most people the latter is more likely than the former.

Yeah, maybe it'll sober some people up to stop pretending they can't see how useful LLMs are in pretty much everything. A sharp tool to wield, easy to cut yourself with, but also extremely useful. Honestly, it felt much stranger t

It's a bit of a pickle, given that managing your inbox (or at least reading it, classifying and summarizing contents, identifying action items etc.) is one of the most valuable applications of LLMs today, especially if you move beyond

Did you pay the sticker price or the intended price? Over here in Poland we have a law that the store must sell you the good for the price it advertised, so in that case they'd be forced to accept $4.50 because of their mistake. May so

Right. What I meant is, until today I believed that "Scotland Yard" was an entirely different law enforcement agency from MET.

There's flash degradation that's unfortunately a factor, too. If not for that and thermal problems (which I learned were common in this model), I'd probably be still using my S22. (OTOH, I upgraded to a foldable, and don&#x27

No, but everyone else forgot this is a possibility and are increasingly making the mechanisms of social and civil life dependent on possession of a modern smartphone.

TIL Scotland Yard is the Metropolitan Police. I thought it was its own thing named "Scotland Yard" for some reasons I never bothered to investigate. Which kind of proves your point.

How does that transalte to VMs? If "encryption at rest" is done at the guest level, instead of (or in addition to) host, that would be pretty close to minimal "encrypted except when it use" time and protect against virtu

Good point. Then again, whatever process we're using, evolution found it in the solution space, using even more constrained search than we did, in that every intermediary step had to be non-negative on the margin in terms of organism s
