Okay folks, I've got one onion for November. Charged $3.74, yours for $4.50! But hurry! By November it could be worth $9! I am serious, reply here, I'll sell you my onion contract for $4.50. Who's buying?

These aren't onions, these are onion futures! You can buy a physical onion now for one price, but you can't buy the promise of an onion later!

Yeah, it's sort of odd that even here people are pushing back like it couldn't possibly be doing this, you must have misunderstood it or are overhyping it. I come neither to praise AI nor to bury it. This is a case where the tool

"Copyable" in this case means you can highlight and copy paste text instead of manually retyping it.

These documents are not personal private information. They might be client privileged in some cases? But I don't think so.

Nobody working there has the requisite experience to do this in a reasonable amount of time. These are not particularly tech-savvy folks, Claude use aside.

They're lawyers. They don't deserve freedom.

Yes, remember that these are effectively random PDFs in various different designs and formats, some of them not editable or even OCR'd. It took a human attorney 20-30 minutes on average to manually copy-paste data from these PDFs into

They do, sometimes. That's why the review still has to happen. But now it's comparing already filled columns on a spreadsheet, not copy-pasting every single thing from an (often uncopyable) PDF.

The proof would be that the attorney who did the work before, and who still reviews all ingested data, says it is.

I know someone who works in law and deals particularly with an area of US benefits and healthcare law. One of their workflows for lower-level employees at their firm involves taking in documents from healthcare plans and organizations, anal

How long does the crude last uner these conditions? Refined oil products like gas have pretty limited shelf lives (I think 6-12 months for gas).

I don't like to be that guy, but this doesn't read as a particularly well thought-through experiment... I don't think it's as effective an advertisement for OP's consulting as they may have thought, because it sugge

It's unfortunate the fuel can't be siphoned back out and used. I wonder why that is; I suspect if it were possible, it'd be happening. Also worth noting, tangentially, though - the reason planes are fueled as they are is beca

This fits neatly into the category of "not something an unmotivated huamn would bother to look for, but absolutely something a human could find if they were interested." It increasingly feels like the power of these agents is less

I'm not sure this is "naming and shaming" because I don't seen an intent to shame. They disclosed the vulnerability privately, waited months for patches, and were commended by the organization with the vulnerabilities. T

I spend most of my nights (weeknight or or otherwise) with my friends. I'm on Discord with them right now as I write this. It wouldn't show up in this study at all, because it's online, not in-person. These particular friends

Thanks for sharing your story. How do you feel about the more recent behavior, though - the WP engine lawsuit, the buyout, etc.? Does that align with the person you saw and knew back then?

A price difference of 8x for what this offers seems crazy to me. A $10,000 car and a $80,000 car are going to be markedly different. Same for a $100,000 house vs a $800,000 house. This $2,000 phone does not seem 8 times better than my $25

That's almost three of the phone I use daily per year.

Good god, is it? My current phone is an iPhone SE 3rd Gen and I paid $250 for it on eBay.

It is also enormous and costs $2,000.

by ivraatiems 17d ago
$2,000 for a phone? Holy price point, Batman. No thanks. I assume the people who would buy something like this have enough money not to care, and also would not care about the second part of my comment, because they want New Thing or use th

There's maybe something cool at the core of this - help you ideate by seeing things in images! - but it's lost in all the other awful ways this gets used. More fake menus with food that looks nothing like the real thing. More fake

They had $1b revenue in 2023 and now probably more than $2b in revenue... do you have cost figures showing what their expenses are?

"While accelerating our migration to Azure," meaning, they will only solve problems if it helps them also use Azure more. It is unbelivable that aload of 2.8b commits was totally fine, and a load of 2.9b was a sitewide outage, unl

The issue with these systems is that they lack Github's sophistication for issue tracking, knowledge transfer, and automation. I think Gitlab is a mature product in its own space and unlikey to change, for instance, at this point. Code
