Is office suite supposed to be an example of lock-in? I haven't used it since middle school. I've worked at 3 companies and, to the best of my knowledge, not a single person at any of them used office suite. That's not to say

The foundation never gets more than 10M / year in donations. You really think their donation rate could possibly go up by more than 50x just by cutting ties with Google?

I've been thinking a lot about the primitives we should be reaching for to standardize these agent systems. There seems to be a degree of isomorphism between skills, MCP, and AGENTS.md. Shell and apply seem pretty fundamental due to th

Perhaps the next step is writing to your state representative, or to Alastair Mactaggart, and complain about this hole in the legislation.

I think your fun cherry fact is pretty inaccurate. If you're referring to USDA Marketing Order #930, it's basically about setting sales limits in bumper crop years to avoid a situation where so many cherries hit the market that fa

There's no room for subtlety in public discourse, but ya absolutist moral philosophies almost never stand up to scrutiny. If only things could be so simple. I've concluded that there is no universal moral framework. You have to be

Trump was never found immune for that. We was just reelected before the prosecution could run it's course, and the DOJ never prosecutes a sitting president. Presumably the suit could resume once Trump steps down, but it might be wise f

My wondering is more about how Congress would react, because something like this could conceivably bring together the 75% consensus required for a constitutional amendment. And I think even this supreme Court would agree that murdering Cong

I agree that the apocalyptic messaging about mythos is eye-rolling, but the thesis of the article that "the moat is the system, not the model" is weird because the point is that the model is the whole system. A little Bash loop th

I've often wondered what would happen if a president explicitly offers to pardon anybody who murders members of Congress. Would they settle on reigning in the pardon power with an amendment? We're sort of already there. A lot of t

Every CLI can be expressed as an API and vice versa. Thus every skill can be expressed as an MCP server and vice versa. Any argument about the technical or practical merits of one over the other is willfully ignoring the fact that you can

It still makes more sense to directly regulate the thing that actually matters. People don't really care about the presence of a DC in their state. They care about the effect it might have on energy prices and potentially the effect it

Looks like they went through the Binance API, but they didn't have to. They could have connected directly to the P2P network via a DNS seed. It would have added complexity to the client which might have made it easier to detect, and th

Much of the article and general palace intrigue is predicated on the idea that OpenAI has a singularly revolutionary product. If it later turns out to be a commodity, or OpenAI is simply outcompeted nonetheless, then the idea that Sam Altma

But it was well understood that the subscription was heavily subsidized. Whether or not it was a "separate product" doesn't matter as much as the fact that pricing was not sustainable.

Sure, you could argue that counterfactual, but how is Costco actually implicated? Does Costco have a contract with its members that sets a limit on the margins they can charge? If so, then I suppose they could get sued for breach of contrac
