Quack is now kind of a workaround for that limitation, as you can have a process with the lock offer read access to other processes. It's not perfect, but for that specific use case it's pretty good.

Also the rise of stressed delivery drivers leaving their cars running, and the kiaboys social media meme / subculture contributed.

Isn't Teflon (PTFE) inert biologically? (the precursor PFOAS are nasty forever chemicals that people should go to jail over dumping them in water, but once they're inert they're inert)

Through words and patterns you can change the operation of the machine, and thus alter the physical world. Your programs are wizardry! The part that sucks is trying to make magic happen within an organization run by boring accounting people

So this is basically overfitting to the benchmaxxed open models. Or more positively, quality routing based on skills. makes sense if it works!

If the AI companies destroy the open web, eventually they'll need to start curating knowledge sources just like netflix makes movies and amazon has physical stores...

Usually the home service is 200+ amps these days which is 24 KW total across all circuits, though you're right that most individual circuits are only 10-15 amp.

Shared information like code and files are increasingly important for keeping people and agents aligned, and "AI Native" businesses will become even more code heavy, so that makes sense.

so your agents can't access any private information in public channels? Not very useful. Still probably better than Claude's new bot which requires a service account per channel!

But if that person has rare skills where at least 25% of their output makes another team of 5 100% more effective (200%), than than loss of 50% output is actually a 33% gain in output! Say you have a team of 6 (5+1 DevOps Wizard), and a tea

Fred Brooks and the mythical man month observed that communication between people expands faster than linear, and that adding more people to a project makes it later.

I saw this as well. The weakening of the walls between Claude Code and Cowork is very offputting and makes it harder to get repeatable results.

AI is extremely useful and 95% USELESS at the same time. LLM based chat AI systems are a poor version of all the things that are AI.

"Popular metadata catalog solutions are Hive Metastore, AWS Glue Data Catalog, and Unity Catalog from Databricks. For query engine you can use, for example, Apache Spark, Trino, or Amazon Athena." DuckDB is eating the query engine

You are pedantically correct but technically wrong, as even optimized postgres is going to suffer on analytical patterns without extensions. With extensions (DuckDB or Citus) you can do large aggregations, but regular postgres at medium&#x2

you can get a laptop shaped device for a hundred euros. A real laptop will still cost several hundred, and it won't be as good, but it's cheaper.
