Interesting post. One detail I don’t see is how the ROE info actually tells you what currency to convert to. I see the exchange rate calculation but how do you know what the final units are?

You said this analysis “isn’t strong enough” for an inadvisable scenario you completely invented.

The post is “here’s what I do”, not “here’s what you should do and then confront the team about the results.” It’s just showing you a quick way to get some insights. It’s not even guaranteeing it’s accurate, just showing you some things y

It’s ok. The pedantry was unavoidable.

Some of us have watched it ratchet up since the 80’s, when there were no such restrictions. The fact that some people hit a threshold and decide to stop putting up with it isn’t surprising.

To pick a nit, I highly doubt you bought your OS/2 hardware with euros. :D

My iCloud is full. Every once in a while my iPhone nags me to upgrade for a few days in a row and I tell it no and it goes away for 6 months or so. My Mac has never once nagged me about iCloud storage.

I think there’s debate (which I don’t want to participate in) over whether or not invisible characters have their uses in Unicode. But I hope we can all agree that invisible characters have no business in code, and banishing them is reason

And “find” can easily execute arbitrary subcommands, which may not be readonly.

So, Linus? Patrick Volkerding? I mean, I can build a Linux system from basically nothing.

Did I miss a memo on Linux somehow requiring age verification now? How would that even work?

It’s really not that complicated a problem. Don’t worry, you’ll certainly be able to solve all the problems yourself as you encounter them. What you end up with will be functionally equivalent to a proper UUID and will only have cost you

Your definition of “remaining useful” seems to require a lot more than mine. An email shim, for example could have destination whitelists, rate limits, an overall message quota, and can have its contents driven by fixed templates which the

If the shim doesn’t use an LLM to make its decisions this is not a problem. If the shim does use an LLM but no uncontrolled data is allowed in, this is not a problem.

If the “clawness” means you only use the llm to control itself, then yes, that’s impossible. But you can easily shim such a process so that the interfaces it uses to “claw out” to the real world are shims that have safeties such as human c

Read my second paragraph. It’s a matter of giving the system shims instead of direct access to “write” ops. Those shims have controls in place. Their only job is to examine the context and decide whether the (email|purchase|etx) is accepta

The computer nerds understand how to isolate this stuff to mitigate the risk. I’m not in on openclaw just yet but I do know it’s got isolation options to run in a vm. I’m curious to see how they handle controls on “write” operations to eve

Is it intentional that the baseline vertical offset doesn’t seem consistent? Text set in this has a sort of up-and-down sloppy effect. Otherwise I love it. Edit: it mostly seems that capitals appear higher than lowercase. It feels like t

This article is great but it is insanely long and suffers from having no scroll bar on mobile. I read for over an hour, falling asleep at least three times, and wondering the entire time how far I was from finishing. Eventually I flicked th

Having read the whole thing in great detail, I’m going to try to give you an honest perspective. Your competitor has done nothing to you. Someone loosely connected to your competitor (used to work there) did something extremely mild to

Excellent analysis, except that’s it’s based on a misinterpretation of what I’m saying. I’m saying that I wasn’t counting pots with holes in the lids, but if we expand the definition to include them, then my count increases to 4.
