If you're not going to give Claude access to anything on your machine, why are you using Desktop instead of web chat? (Real question, I don't use these much!) If you are, obviously you need the VM.

I turned off what "glass" UI I could with config, and it's not too different than Sequoia, got used to it pretty quick. Obviously the things not supported on an old OS will keep increasing, until eventually it is EOL'd.

I think when we look back in 10-20 years, mass nearly universal surveillance will be seen as one of the largest social impacts of AI, or perhaps the largest. We have barely scratched the surface, and I don't think most people have thou

Having polities to look at promoting regional diversity, equity between regions, and making sure all regions are included, instead of only one axis of "merit", in awarding research funds, is literally DEI. So it's not that th

> Relatedly, some federal agencies are discussing the possibility of factoring in geography when they allocate their funds, rather than basing decisions on scientific merit alone. Sounds ironically like "DEI".

Very curious if you would actually get a dialup number that worked if you filled out the paperwork. I guess probably not? But I have no idea.

I expect the operations manual, employee handbook, internal documentation like that will be first to go. I wouldn't necessarily expect any public gitlab instances to go.

if you don't like the new direction you can leave now and get the known now severance package. All in all, I think it is right to offer people voluntary severence with package when you pull the rug out from under them as far as where t

The good excuse for the slush fund was $75 billion in supplementary funding Congress approved for ICE with no particular reason or budget. At this point all of ICE is a good excuse for a slush fund.

I think it's both, they hope it helps them surveil better, they don't really mind if it doesn't or doesn't to the extent of it's cost, cause the right people still got paid. This is pretty much all federal governmen

Hm, thinking about it. Some of my attraction to github is just that I am used to and like the UI, and I get annoyed on another platform where I don't understand the UI and don't know where to find things or how to do things (like

I used to think people who said Github had become very unreliable were exagerating, but I can't miss it now. If you want to keep people, you have to actually go down less. It's interesting that internally you had a very different
