Same, my first viewing was on a betamax copy my aunt had - coincidentally the same trip I ended up buying a cassette tape that had Weird Al's Yoda on it.

A significant amount of my pop-clutter (er, culture) knowledge comes from Mad parodies.

What we need is a single line that can only be written two ways, each of which has a subtle security issue, so AIs can flip-flop it back and forth forever.

AI kills SaaS dead - because most will use AI to do what this does directly (presumably convert bank statements), and the rest will use AI to write a non-AI tool that does it likely just as well.

I visited a friend's apartment and he was going on and on about how everyone around him seems to be getting exploding dogs, so I think the key is to live by yourself in a house separated from others. But down that path lies a cabin i

The perfect work-from-home office is a tethered balloon. Change my mind.

He's getting downvoted, but he's not wrong - however, finding someone who specializes in doing this would be hard, and knowing how to word it so you can use "standard crews" would itself be $2-3k for a GC. This is th

My problem is always the time necessary to get good at the tool is slightly more than just brute forcing it one more time.

Sometimes it's so painfully obvious - that you can turn a piece of crApp into something that works well by just modifying yourself or the situation so you're following the path that the developers do.

But what is the size that provides those things? 10,000? 100,000? 1,000,000? 10,000,000?

We trained agents on millions of pages of documentation telling them to write good comments and good code and then we tell them never to write any comments. It’s almost the “we built a robot who loves to play Sonatas and gave it no hands” t

Many people don’t even know that Outlook can still show the source email address because it shows you the name instead.

We’re going to get people passing AI text through various competing AIs, aren’t we? Deep Fried AI Slop™ here we come!

Benchmarks for agents are entirely pointless and obviously so; I'm not sure why they even exist.

So if his father gives him the trains before death, it's fine, but at or after is not? Fun times ahead! Also the value of model trains and the selling price are highly different numbers.

I mean that's a straight loss of 7 characters, 8 letters if you count it that way. Bad deal!

It's exactly this - the memory market has gone through exactly this boom/bust since I can remember - there was a great RAM price stabilization around Windows 95 (price stayed the same or went up per megabyte over years) and then a

Generate the VM, send it crafted PDFs to print, see what it produces, and build a driver. Not that “hard” even for a human, an AI could probably one-shot it.

You can turn a low trust society into a high one by just having nothing whatsoever worth anything.

It’s worse than that. If that employee isn’t standing in the waiting room, handing out coupons some other restaurant’s employee will be standing in the waiting room, handing out coupon for the restaurant next-door. Oh, and you have to pay t

There was something similar (but I can't recall what) where you just set your clock far in the future (like 2010!) and then the trial would last that long + one month.

I think the Aristotelian (though I might have reached for Platonic) idea is that there is an "A" which is essential, and that you map many various "A"s to that one A - which results in weirdness when you leave the Latin-

I've been doing handoffs manually, but maybe the command is a better way. It's a great way to keep track of work, remove useless context, and more importantly, it's an enforced "what is the agent doing" line - you i

Dropbox was huge before everything built in sync as SaaS. I still fondly recall the Dropbox backend to 1Password.

One of the big questions for an algorithm is - when do you recalculate the path? A real "human" doesn't recalculate until they receive information that the chosen bath is blocked/changed (they see the road closed sign, e

You use an AI to make the spaghetti. You use another AI to document the spaghetti. You use the third AI to make a spicy meatball from the spec.
