That’s exactly what enterprise sales is. Call for pricing, tell the absolute upper limit you can spend, and pay.

The old days the cars would rust and take the frame with it (I've literally had them get so bad they basically folded up) - modern vehicles will stay pretty darn decent until the first time the paint gets broken, then it'll begin

You have to be so uptight about performance when you're small that people look at you funny, or your shit is going to fall right over under webscale (ai scale?) load.

> They seem incapable of saying anything without five part Roman-numbered novel length blog posts. Maybe that’s why they’re so pissed, ChatGPT’s useless verbosity is threatening to put them out of a job.

My favorite is the Doom random number generator, which is just a list of “random” numbers that it cycles through and if you know how to use it, you can do things like concentrate BFG attacks.

It’s a directory. You could add pictures to it, and we did in our image layout (mainly for fun, but they wanted the logo as one).

Does it also check existing users so you don't match one?

It might be that the randomization code was bypassed in some cases - like creating an account in safe boot mode or similar.

Yeah, home assistant is super powerful once you break out of the mold of "a light is a light, right" and realize that ANYTHING can be represented as state changes, and you can run arbitrary code based on it. And with lights, locks

Hass can make things appear like light switches, etc, but if you did that (they can run arbitrary code) then the kids will learn that "Hey Siri, turn on Kids Play" will work. But door locks refuse to unlock from Hey Siri, so you h

That seems ... unnecessary behavior for even a wiki.

Claude and jellyfin and HASS is great. Now my phone has a “door lock” which turns off the kids user’s access, but lets the current playing finish. And another “door lock” unlocks playing for ten minutes.

It feels like if you count up all the European countries/cities that have converted to Linux you get something like ten times the population by now. It's almost a standard negotiating tactic when it comes time for license renewal.

We need a control group where the only difference is the Honda badge. I know a number of people who’d buy a Honda without a second thought but wouldn’t be caught dead in a Chevy.

You've not watched the poor guy have to reboot his truck, have you?

I was wondering that too - it seems you start with a linked list of sorts, and then evenly distribute the links to the dice. But I’ve obviously not thought it out.

Reword it as “the smallest possible set where X is still true” and you combine both.

Many services today support vanity domains - Google even has special support for it: https://publicsuffix.org/list/public_suffix_list.dat

From mechanical engineers I’ve met it almost seems a requirement that they have something they tireless advocate for.

You can almost guess someone's age from that alone - they're more rare, but long domain names still appear that encode a city and a state, and you could just "grab" the first part when signing up.

Especially since most machines will just WORK with auto-assigned magic weird IPs and you'll actually be able to share files directly via the OS if you do this, no need for Linux netcat tricks at all. Now I still remember when target di

I still have a null modem adapter somewhere, and a null modem cable (and they were REAL not the "fake" ones).

That's what I meant - you give it an instruction that seems to work (always ask before deploy) and so you trust it, and then you notice it can easily convince itself to deploy without authorization ("the user asked me to fix this,

Submitting to iTunes made syncing to the phone much easier, but I've been using claude to rebuild/repair my 20+ year old library, and have learned that iTunes has very weak if any support for "work" - a feature it has to
