I don't see any realistic path for this fuck up to be unfucked. Aggressive foreign policy is seldom reversible, there is no way to get back to the previous save game. The fundamental issue in dealing with Iranians was that they were st

Yes, we tried that with the JCPOA but Trump blew that up because it was signed by Obama. Now the Iran theocracy saw full well that nukes are the only way they can stay alive. What exactly is the leverage against it?

On the other hand, the productivity gains from AI automation are so large that you are forced to use it to compete in the workplace, even if you strongly dislike the terminal, you will dislike homelessness more.

Not really. The quality of data and latency are paramount, that's what you are actually paying for.

The basic problem is that the reporting and accounting rules are double plus bureaucratic and you need to have on hand multiple registers that show the financial situation at any time, submit them to the tax authority etc. To give you a sma

Sure, it's basic use and nothing to flex about - was just responding specifically to the line that plan-review-implement is all you need. Though, you get such a huge bang from customizing your config that I can easily see how you could

Let me give you a counterexample. I'm working on a product for the national market, and i need to do all financial tasks, invoicing, submit to national fiscal databse etc. through a local accounting firm. So i integrate their API in th

Covert transmission is security. Think of a spy or North Korean dissident, mere detection of a transmission means compromise; Eve will extract the plain text using the trusty $10 wrench.

You are putting sentences together just like an LLM would - quite fitting for an AI generated article. You might want to get it checked out, these days you never know if you are a real person or not.

Cursor needs a paradigm shift to remain relevant, what was spectacular at first now is just banal and better done by other tools.

China does not have a "massive" excess of males, just around 3-4% overall. The worst hit generations showed 15% more males than global averages, but this seems to be largely an administrative effect where girls were simply reporte

It's hard to believe such an in depth overview of the anthropology of marriage skips the massive elephant in the room: that polygynous societies were widely found to be in a perpetual state of civil war and seem unable to develop stabl

It's of interest to anyone who wants to design something similar, for example a toy language, without spending weeks in the golang codebase wrestling with irrelevant go-specific details.

While this is generally true, i found the article well written and without the annoying halmarks of AI writing; if AI was used in editing it was wisely employed.

The obvious use case here is deep mathematical research, where the LLM can focus its reasoning on higher level concepts. For example, if it can reduce parts of the problem to some choices of polinomials, its useful to just "know"

Their drug is rage, thirst and cute trap videos generated by AI and selected for maximum engagement. If it's not harmful it's not the same drug. Unlike diamorphine, a medical grade supply does not reduce harm; it's more like

The fact that we went from battle hardened, layered security practices, that still failed sometimes, to this divining rod... stuff, where the adversarial payload is injected into the control context by design , is one of the great ironi

There is little debate the tech job market is currently bad, for juniors worse but for seniors too, widespread layoffs from large companies, etc. What you are describing sounds more like the extreme pigeonholing the industry has been practi

The only notable data point is the precipitous drop for software engineering from 40-60 days historical averages. lt basically says that tech has become just like the rest of the job market, competitive for applicants and heavily gatekept b

This is reminiscent of the early discussions around spam, before it was called that. You might be surprised to learn the free speech side was crushed in that debate and it turned out content that costs zero to send really is worthless.

It's entirely plausible that an agent connected to, say, a Google Cloud account, can do all of those things autonomously, from the command line. It's not a wise setup for the person who owns the credit card linked to Google Cloud,

The current maintainer is always right by definition, has put in the hard work and is entitled to drag the project into whatever deranged fantasy they might have. You just don't get a vote, there is no objective truth to settle dispute

That's a crypto architecture design choice, MS opted for the user-friendly key escrow option instead of the more secure strong local key - that requires a competent user setting a strong password and saving recovery codes, understandi
