The latter is correct, and pretty famously so.

I asked it about a “yellow background cell” in Excel and it spewed a book at me. Then it solved the issue.

Mythos turns out to be Opus 4.8 in a trenchcoat with guardrails removed.

I don’t know what it was but the x86 version of Postman somehow got installed on my M1 and it was slow like a dog.

The phone makers aren’t making phones that are laptops. Apple is. Part of this is the windows ARM not being where it needs to be, but part of it is lack of imagination.

In the bad (good?) old days Mac OS X cost money each upgrade.

I had high hopes for the Surface but between the confusion (is it arm is it x86 will your printer drivers work?) and some questionable decisions, it fell flat.

The Amber Alert system is much older than promiscuous cameras. 99% of the time it’s a custodial dispute, but that’s orthogonal.

You can have license plate readers at home if you want (years ago I confirmed that everything existed to measure the speed of cars driving past my house using common cameras, image recognition, and software). I never actually put it togethe

What’s amazing is that you only see the cameras they want you to see (the whole deterrent thing is such they sell empty cameras). Actual buildings that care about security in a “government paranoia” way have many more cameras you won’t be a

You made the common error of being common, and not related to the mayor or others in positions of power.

My understanding of Franklin is that if he were alive today he’d probably spend most of his time on Onlyfans.

We have the technology - the government could automatically ticket you a dollar per mile per hour over the speed limit if we wanted it to. And if nobody sped except in emergencies fatalities would likely be way down (and speed limits would

You have to deal with the judgement-proof somehow. There’s effectively two sets of laws - one for those with something to lose (fines, etc) and one for those with nothing to lose.

The jury system works because there’s 12 and people are generally honest. In many cases as the defendant you can opt for a bench (judge) trial. Jury’s usually a better gamble overall.

The amount of resources brought to bear on a murder is way above what will be brought for a stolen car. For those they likely won’t even have a cop call the local businesses.

Florida is surrounded by ocean and you can’t drive stolen cars to Cuba. Texas is bordered by Mexico and you can drive stolen cars to Mexico. Also if we’re talking gundefend shouldn’t we be comparing carjacking stats?

Those are cool - I’m sure it’d sell eventually.

The thing I like about used networking gear is if it starts failing, it's really noticeable; TCP/IP is checksummed up so many assets. And if I have to go back to gig for a week or two, the horror! But it's not permanent data

The only “new” NIC in my setup is the one in the 10G thunderbolt dock for my Mac, everything else was used and has worked perfectly.

It’s an entire new world of weird things; I have some “ancient” Nortel PoE gigabit switches with 10G uplinks that I was able to find who the actual OEM was, and then find a firmware that could be massaged on.

I suppose you could make an argument that these enormously large IPOs are themselves a new phenomenon and need to be accounted for.

Unless it’s some equipment that exists at multiple endpoints at the same address.

Could the latency consistency be something designed to make it difficult to pinpoint its location? It sounds like you found the hardware and are just wondering what it is? Well ain't this place a geographical oddity! 0.4ms from everyw

Is this John Siracusa? It sounds like it could be something he’d say… (He has a fully maxed out “last Intel” Mac Pro and laments the lack of replacement).
