My definition of real work is - can I point at something and be proud of it? It might not even be something physical (but often is) and my involvement may not be obvious (say, managing the spreadsheets for a building project), but there it

I’m going to assume everyone using “cooked” comes from uThermal and you won’t convince me otherwise.

I’d say the USA has collectively forgotten the last time they were in a “civilians involved” war, which I’d place back to the Civil War.

Wear a GoPro on your helmet like the rest so you can be shunned. If you insist on the glasses, wear a fake GoPro.

It’s often the case that employees are much more locked down than contractors, simply because the company is more liable for employee actions.

That’s my recollection too - there were some high profile cases and so institutional safeguards were established. They very well may be at the forefront of it - however, it’s a side issue to what’s being discussed.

Everything I've ever seen shows that problems in these areas happen very slowly, and then all at once. Previous similar (but totally different) situations ended in wars.

Then I can be a millionaire just by having five, six kids! Because that is 48 median gross incomes, which is $4m. Better growth curve than most YC startups!

Why does it check every five minutes? Do they think the kernel is changing in a running instance faster?

Part of it is this - you get hired by Anthropic making $250k a year. They give you the latest MacBook Pro, a nice office, and a $5 Walmart mouse. It works. Probably fine. But it’s weird.

They make a bunch of “old style” toys and some are quite nice, but some start getting toward the “just buy the kids the real thing” pricing.

And the $10 toolbox needs to only be insufficient once or twice and suddenly the $200 packout makes sense. For you or I who use the box once a year? The savings are worth the minor hassle - but if you’re using it everyday it only takes once

The difference between a $100 mic and one that costs ten to a hundred times as much is not how well they work in perfect conditions, but how well they work in the worst conditions imaginable. Doctors often have the seniority and authority t

In a hole in the ground there lived a Claude responded: hobbit. hobbit. Not a nasty, dirty, wet hole, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a h

You can have it without benchmarks that can be gamed, but then it's basically down to "this feels right" and you have to trust the leadership to not be discriminatory, etc.

I wonder if that's the amount to endow a chair or something, because $5m is well within the "never work again" FIRE amount - but perhaps a tenured professor not only has his salary, but that of his assistants, etc.

The dirty secret is there is no income stream from the app, and the data they recover isn't worth much. What it is is that the people who are price-conscious will clip the coupons and use the loyalty - those who are not will not.

Grocery stores already do this! Why do you think there's "senior discount day"? The thing is nobody will pay more than the advertised price so they want to not list a higher price, and then offer discounts. They do it via

If you dig around in your hotel room the next time you're there, you'll likely find a statutory "list of prices" - often showing $1,000 or more per night for a room you paid $150 for.

Even those have price-constraints - if you watch for awhile you get a real feel for the prices that people will pay vs the "value" if you will. Certain thrift stores will be dirt cheap, others (Goodwill) will be barely below Walma

This already exists at Target - scan each item as you put it in your card, and note the ones that are "cheaper when ordered online for in-store pickup" and complain at the register and get your discount. Congratulations!

Yeah, that's probably just a typo, but you could argue that German engineering gave Germany the ability to "loose" war on the world.

Here's the diff if you wanna play in your source (Gentoo, looking at you): https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/a664bf3d603d 6.18.25-gentoo-x86_64 has the patch for Gentoo.

Technically they said they "loosed" them, which arguably could be true. Maybe.

Apparently there are two competing ID federation setups, and a bunch of "login with Google/Apple/Facebook/ID.me" and nobody can agree on anything.

If you file pro se and even if you've agreed to ten thousand arbitration clauses, they'll at least have to spend $200 on a lawyer to respond. So, you can waste as much of their money as they wasted of yours.

I was just wondering in another thread how much you could do storing things in git itself.
