You just know other nation states are all inside these camera systems and probably buried deep at this point. Of course no liability will be faced by the company, and none for the police departments who violate our constitutional rights.

I am sorry but anyone who actually has tried this knows it is horrifically slow, significantly slower than you just typing for any model worth its weight. That 128gb of RAM is nice but the time to first token is so long on any context over

"without context switching"??? By definition going from work to writing some drivel on twitter is context switching lol.

I've been using the preview flash model exclusively since it came out, the speed and quality of response is all I need at the moment. Although still using Claude Code w/ Opus 4.5 for dev work. Google keeps their models very "

You know 5 years from now Apple and Google will charge the car manufacturers millions to enable CarPlay / Android Auto. Enshitiffication has one end, they will screw everyone long term. I don't blame any manufacturer who bows out.

I am certain if I had the estimated $4,000,000,000 it took to get Voyager 1 launched, I could get some microservices to function regardless of all scenarios. The reality is, its only worth it to build to 99.9999% uptime for very specific mi

Just like all things, the easier you make it the more people will abuse it. Now their hand is forced, and they will actually have to try and mask their location.

They bought 3 other vet clinics, 1 has already been closed. There's now only 2 emergency vet clinics within 30 miles of each other, there are no other options unless you want to drive nearly an hour away.

Friend works for a vet clinic, got bought by PE 2 years ago. Routine layoffs, increased costs, and worse quality of service have crept in over the past 6 months. Average turnover went from 4 years to 1 year, hes one of the last few people w

All stuff is legacy the moment you deploy it. All work created by a company decays, it's legacy code within months.

Working at a company that uses react-native I wish nothing more than for the end of app stores and differing platform languages. We're heavily considering just having a website next year with a mobile app using webview, and then native

I look back at myself at 18 and damn I was dumb as rocks. I'm amazed I even had an internship working on drivers, the risk is too high.

We've officially lost the plot, we will now ship our AI data centers to ~space~ ... This will not work with modern technology. The sun will be eclipsed by earth many times per day, requiring you to either shift all workloads or add sub

That is assuming you need that 1 core 24/7, you can get 2 core / 8gb for $43, this will most likely fit 90% of workloads (steady traffic with spikes, or 9-5 cadence). If you reserve that instance you can get it for 40% cheaper, or

I really disagree that the privacy risk is enough to not use it at all, even in a healthcare setting. There are wild scenarios you can come up with where you may leak something, but that assumes the information isn't coming over anyway

Of course you could also invest heavily into cloud automation and likely run their payloads autoscaling and save a fortune too. My point is, when people compare cloud to on prem they use a hypothetical on-prem installation vs a realistic ac

I feel like this is left out of the story too often - people tend to compare the most optimistic "self-hosted", usually just one or two servers at best, to a less than ideal cloud installation. My parent company (Healthcare) uses

You can plug your ears and close your eyes, but Microsoft is becoming increasingly adversarial to their customers. It's clear they want to remove local accounts and tie everything to O365. My mom (68 yo) recently got a Windows update t

I wonder how viable this is for video and image generation models. Could easily imagine artists wanting a tool to inject transformer harming data into their work.

To be fair this is pretty much how it has to work. Imagine one rogue employee out of 10 commits fraud, do you get all your money back? No you get the billable hours + damages for the fraud. If it worked the other way contracts would be long

I work for a large mail order pharmacy and I will tell you we make no money on over 90% of our prescriptions. Our margin is less than 4%. The space is hyper competitive and obviously consumers are price sensitive. We are incredibly lean - l

Totally fair to call out blanket “anyone 75+ isn’t all there” as ageist. But the governance point still stands: even sharp octogenarians are often out of sync with modern life (platforms, tech norms, digital risks). Only 8% of adults 65+ sa

Almost like people vote in people of similar age. Baby boomers was the largest generation far larger than the preceding and later generation.

DOGE was an attack on every agency that MAGA didn't like. The goal was never to save money. The deficit is the largest its ever been.

I think its less a problem of lawyers and more a problem of age. I learned today Chuck Grassley plans to run again and would be 95 years old in congress. This is insane. If you've worked retail you know many above 75 are not all there,

Yeah we offered resoldering for a while but after Apple started replacing them there was no point. The settlement was in the US, so that is probably why it didn't apply in the EU. Kind of surprising really. I don't blame you for b

Was it an Nvidia GPU? I used to work for GeekSquad and we would gladly send the Mac to the Apple store to replace the whole thing with the newer model - always free. People would come back and thank us for sending them to Apple. They even h
