I wonder if part of the deal is people gambling believe they have insider info, so any story to the contrary to them is clearly a lie costing them money, something that seems extra offensive?

I work for a small SaaS company. We’re getting prospective and existing clients emailing us what look like AI generated spreadsheets with features that are miles long that they want us to respond to. Like thousands of lines. And a lot of

Yeah seems likely. I've seen this pattern CONSTANTLY on reddit where one account asks a question and some other account has just the thing they need ... their own product that just happens to be what was asked for. In this case they s

I'm inclined to agree that this should have had a different name, gonna be different come up with a good name. As for open source as they claim ... can't find the code or a link to it on their site. So far this smells like a lot o

That's not the worst idea. Honestly, I'm at the point where I'd pay money for an active social media site that varied humans as real people, required them to use their name, and so on. User could pick their own post visibili

I have 2 kids. I choose to limit when they have access to electronics and monitor when they do. No software is going to stop kids with constant access to electronics, kids are resourceful. It's a choice, there's no getting around

It’s not a parental controls / software problem. It’s a parents showing self control / parenting and monitoring their children in person thing.

For a short time I was a part of a small site that banned politics. It was fine, people talked about work, personal stuff, travel, until one person posted about their disappointment that their state was limiting various services or rights t

Your experience with Claude is surprising to me. At least for me when using Claude in VSCode (extension) there’s clearly defined “plan mode” and “ask before edits” and “edit automatically”. I’ve never had it disregard those modes.

It’s not the first time. Bush Jr. campaigned on “no nation building” and then went on a massive nation building effort that arguably was a failure. Granted Bush Jr.’s efforts were popular and followed some logic. Not so much Trump.

Yeah once a given senator commanded AND paid the local full time legions for a given region, their loyalty followed. By that time too the men serving in the legions were increasingly locals and not Roman or even from Italy.

Later on yes. Early on it was more strict about who could serve.

Even the early Roman legions were composed of land owning citizens. Partly because they could afford / knew people they could get equipment from. Also likely because you wanted people in the establishment that you could trust armed a

I think more so people saw past cycles as relatively predictable and sever since the mortgage crisis they are looking for bits of that expectation. Also ... doom and gloom gets more views.

The AI factor here is interesting to me. I don't know if AI is the cause of software quality decline at MS or even Nvidia. My guess is that it is really (like all things) a leadership issue, but AI could be a big part too. What is wil

Reddit software subs are over run. It’s all “look at my new app” and they’re all the same. Same screenshot style, same shallow apps. Other subs are slowly being inundated with hidden history spammers … Bad times.

Absolutely absurd that we’re at this point. The courts / SCOTUS let the government roll out a massive and obviously illegal tax on citizens for a long time. They should have stepped in earlier. Now we the people probably don’t get

The whole process is a hassle. I shouldn’t have to deal with leagal-ish agreements for every website I visit. The entire regulation bureaucratic and nonsensical to individuals.
