Next decade seems possibly false - if Intel starts getting deals and commitments now, it takes them about half a decade to build a fab. Agree it seems unlikely though.

Yeah but Zig essentially has till Mythos releases (and arguably less time) to fix their policy. OSS that doesn't take LLM security reports at that point is a liability.

Reading this article in the context of the Zig folks refusing to even consider LLM-generated bugs certainly shapes my perspective on what technologies will be in my toolchain.

The value generation is for passive observers: it is theoretically more informative to be told that there is a y% chance of x from someone with a financial incentive to be right. (also, we allow plenty of zero and negative sum interactions

I understand the hostility to them getting into sports betting since that seems to trigger a particular unhealthy impulse in young men but your anger should be first directed at the companies that are 100% sports betting (DraftKings and the

I don't think it's actually that hard - 5 minutes of skimming on Reddit will do a lot. You can also usually see Wirecutter's recommendations (even if they paywall the full article). People just don't care upfront but com

The melodrama of this article really rubs me the wrong way, especially when some of the brands they mention do still make good backpacks (like The North Face). The author acknowledges that with "it's a deliberate segmentation&quot

They changed the terms going forward so you’re changing your behavior going forward? Nobody but the psychos you’re making up would think you’re out of line here. They’re not required to offer the same product forever and you’re not required

> Recently, only 36% of suspicious activity reports from US companies originated from the surveillance of private messages anyway. I don't have many opinions on this but this sort of lazy logic would make me nervous. 36% is not a sm

Even if you could fix egregious cases like directly sharing location, I'm pretty sure any access to the internet could be compromised via clever use of data brokers.

I think most computer users dislike this but I see a ton of normal folks do this, they don't have the same conceptual boundaries folks on this site do (myself included).

This isn't incompatible with the agent placing the purchase. I already let Claude Code do _most_ of what it wants but make it ask permission before sending a message on Slack. An LLM having the capability to do X is not incompatible wi

China is likely where it would come from - ARM and x86 are owned by Western companies.

This is correct which will incentivize the constructions of private lots etc (assuming the people you mentioned value their time more than the $ those lots cost). I don't see any reason you can't trust markets to address the suppl

If a developer builds in a way such that the demand for street parking outstrips supply, the street parking still has a cost, that cost is just expressed in time to find a spot, not dollars like you're suggesting. People unwilling to

Google Play - at least on tablets - makes ads vs not ads much clearer and, if you're searching for one app very obviously (like "Kindle") puts that above the ads. Companies good at selling and distributing ads have the confid

The reason we focus on the OEM more than the pilots is that Boeing getting its act together (or being regulated to do so) is more scalable than every pilot in the world becoming more skilled. Individually blaming pilots isn't effectiv

I don't think anyone really disputes what should be done when an LLM violates copyright in a way that would be a violation if a human did it. Questions about LLMs are primarily about whether it's legal for them to do something tha

I was counting solar and offshore wind as abundant energy resources. Also, nuclear, though that’s not state specific.
