Heh thank you. It was a few years ago that this happened, when they were doing the big RTO.

They understand, but they are more concerned about you exfiltrating data and suing them. But you're right, the survivors don't even get a list. They have to find out when something they're waiting for never shows up because

My Amazon layoff notice came at 5am. Same deal. I thought it was fake because it came to my personal email. Then I logged into my work computer and found that all my email had been erased except for a copy of the layoff notice and an inv

This is funny, because I know a bunch of 30 under 30s, and I've invested in a few. There is a strong overlap between 30 under 30 and YC founders. I consider myself a good judge of character, because not one of the one's I've

Or, wait and take a little break so you don't burn out. I miss the days where you had to wait for code to compile or for your "big data" job to run, so you could give yourself a little mini break. Of course there is a releva

I worked at Netflix, I'm a huge Netflix Stan, but even I have to agree pirating is way easier. Especially now that they started cracking down on account sharing. Having to constantly re-authenticate in my own home is annoying as hell.

Netflix, cable, etc. and other at home subscriptions tend to be the last things cut because people generally stay home more when the economy is bad so they want their in-home entertainment.

I think the main use case is home automation. You don't want details of your home setup leaking out.

Yes, but you have to have MDM. I don't want to run MDM for my kids.

Can I please just have multiple users on my iPads, please?

GitHub is in a tough spot. From what I've heard they've been ordered to move everything to Azure from their long standing dataceners. That is bound to cause issues. Then on top of that they are using AI coders for infra changes

Of course they weren't but look at how Nebraska voted in the last election. Other than the cities, it was mostly GOP, the party that explicitly said they would cut funding for those services if elected (it was in Project 2025).

BLM provides fire lookout services that were severely cut. They also perform prescribed burns, which they no longer have staff and budget for, which would have reduced the dry grass.

Some may want to come in here leaving snarky comments about how they shouldn't vote for an administration that doesn't believe in climate change. But I will give a concrete example: This administration fired thousands of Forrest

> Isn't the "skill" just stuff that gets put into the context? Usually with a level of indirection like "look at this file in this situation"? Today, yes. I assume in the future it will be integrated differently

Yes and no. How does a human learn a new language? They use their previous experience and the documentation to learn it. Oftentimes they way someone learns a new language is they take something in an old language and rewrite it. LLMs are

No, it was created by our team of engineers over the last three years based on years of previous PhD research.

People are doing this now. It's basically what skills.sh and its ilk are for -- to teach AIs how to do new things. For example, my company makes a new framework, and we have a skill we can point an agent at. Using that skill, it can

I too am here all the time and have never heard of it. But it looks interesting.

Yes, and parents were getting mad at the school when their kids couldn't reply to their midday texts.

The norcal/socal divide caused by the river is funny to me. I grew up in LA, then moved to the Bay Area for college. In LA we never really talked about where our water comes from. But we were always 'in a drought' and alwa

In the last 10 years, driven a lot by school shootings, the tide shifted and parents started fighting schools about letting their kids keep their phone "so they can be contacted in emergencies". The schools gave up fighting with

It's more about job seeking than anything. If you jump on a fad early, and it turns out to be the winner, when you're looking for work you can say you have X years of experience with it, which will be a few more than most of the

Does anyone else remember when someone ported kill to the DOOM engine? So you could fire up DOOM and kill processes using different guns for different kill levels? I don't know why but this reminded me of that.

What you're talking about has nothing to do with Waymo at all though. It's ostensibly off topic here. You're talking about car culture in general. Yes, I blame the parents or the adults that were supposed to supervise the c

When a piece of construction equipment falls over and kills someone, the person or company who owns the equipment is liable. I image it would be the same thing here. Sometimes that person then counter-sues the manufacturer of the equipment

Not in the least. Cutting costs by only using cameras and then claiming "well humans can do it so why not us" is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.

Ironic to see this on the front page just next to the report about Waymos being 13 times safer than humans.

It's really not that easy at all. Especially with art or jewelry. We can know the current value. It could even be a very famous piece of art. But these types of things are found all the time in attics and basements. Art especially

It's two sides of the same coin. Imagine a simple example: Mom and dad buy a house for $100,000. When they die it's worth $1,000,000. In Canada, you'd pay gains on the $900,000 difference. In America, you'd pay inher
