To a first approximation, yes. You are young and don't have perspective on this, but this is what old people do. Recognize the value of stories and try to preserve them.

It isn't between llm and skill, it's between agent and skill. Orgs that invest in skills will duplicate what they could do once in an agent. Orgs that "buy" skills from a provider will need to endlessly tweak them. Multi

Uh, irrelevant to highlight sqlite and "local first" if it assumes talking to gemini. The data does not stay on the machine. Support llama.cpp, etc. I do like the idea of a home made book workflow but no one needs a new bookstore.

To my eyes skills disappear, MCP and agent definitions do not. You can have the most capable human available to you, a supreme executive assistant. You still have to convey your intent and needs to them, your preferences, etc, with as high

Saying it was both diminishes the sociopathy and malevolence. It was a warlike invasion, an act of great violence, and the perpetrators should be treated as criminals.

I think "prompts" are a much richer kind of intellectual property than they are given credit for. Will put in here a pointer to the Odd Lots recent podcast with Noetica AI- a give to get M&A/complex debt/deal terms b

Yeah, jobs suck, and AI can do all kinds of things, but this really misunderstands...just about everything. Pluribus is a more interesting meditation.

Same. Never lived there- though almost moved in the 1990s- and now feel a pull to learn/feel the history. Did also just finish Grant's memoirs- and would strongly recommend Sherman's if you haven't read those, not only f

Traditionally under ACH I don't believe balance inquiry is available. But if you did a Plaid like thing to "connect" your card, your balance is available to payees. https://docs.stripe.com/payments/ach-di

Your orthodontist is probably using an ass (term of art) specialized medical practice billing system. Not uncommon for smaller practices. Some of these are made by the dude down the block, kind of thing. Total shit. That will be the thing t

Doubly incorrect. There is no power by which the executive can "ban" any state action. Is not a thing. But that isn't what the piece says. The EO would set up a "task force" to sue states that did X or Y. That is so

Given the pervasiveness of bribery across this admin, this smells like just eliminating the obstacles to a more direct and corrupt patronage and kickback system. Steve Blank might be wishing it will be LEAN when in reality it will be GREEN.

Communication precision has been enriched and deepened, not generalized. Social media has not in any way collapsed. AI hallucination is not a semantics issue.

For one, alcohol tax is applied at point of sale, so there is a friction on consumption. Gambling taxes are applied as though gambling is an investment activity and losses can even be justified. Second, most recent studies that look at the

I would look at it like this, as 2 entities. There was an entity that developed this IP, this algorithm. You own 100% of that entity and the IP. If you go in with this guy, there is a new entity. You two need to do slicing pie with the new

I read the Omelas story differently but maybe is the same. It's just a predatory dominance play. Some people get the dopamine hit from dominance, so for them it is a double win- their stuff is funded by others and it is the "weakn

Taxing the dopamine thing does not discourage the doing of the dopamine thing. Just penalizes the addict and worsens their position.
