The argument (which has its own pros and cons) is that the Chinese vendors are not competing fair and square. The governmental/industrial coordination in China is quite literally un comparable to Western style industries so the western

That small bathroom job is literally the worst case scenario for a tradesman. They have to work nearly as hard to line that up as better paying longer term commercial work. The residential buyer is the source of much less repeat work, is ha

My cousin served more than a decade on nuclear subs and he is one of the least yogi/monk like people I’ve met. Virtually no one who knows him would say he exhibits lots of self control. He just isn’t bothered by tight spaces or being u

My wife worked for a company that specialized in rebinding paperbacks for schools and libraries. It makes more economic sense to do that for niche use cases rather than make all print runs more expensive.

Books in the 17th and 18th century often didnt get bound by the publisher. They were done by independent binders for _custom_ orders. You’d see whole libraries with the owners binding/cover standards rather than per book. Books in that

A) it’s not the SEC’s jurisdiction. It’s the state of incorporation that covers shareholder rights. B) we literally don’t know if it’s illegal or not yet. The reason investors like Delaware is that there is tons of decided case law and cour

He absolutely can, but would expect to be sued in court. In Texas, where we don’t know what shareholder protections exist because the case law is so immature compared to Delaware. But Texas is making a push very specifically around giving l

A war doesn’t need to be sustainable for Ukraine, it’s existential. For the aggressor that backstop doesn’t exist. They could literally stop the war anytime they wanted so they need to continue to prove it’s sustainable to keep doing it.

You can get that working for yourself trivially. My agent environment now has 3 different kinds of compute abstractions, 3 different agents and a nascent workflow engine in it. It works how _i_ want, which is really refreshing.

Could be. But a) I don’t know why I’d trust them to do that when existing tooling means I don’t have to and b) this is not a new paradigm for me. I’ve been running most of my dev environments in sandboxed mode for a long time. I don’t trust

The first step is building a sandbox (vm, container, whatever) that allows you to trust the agent in its most permissive mode. This varies based on the maturity of my projects but most of my sessions live in VMs with very specific egress ru

Pretty straight ahead coding workflows. Most of my operational workflows are much simpler (because diagnosing an operational issue is much more time sensitive obviously).

by kasey_junk 3mo ago
Yeah absolutely. And from other context windows for agents.

I have workflows that run for 8-10 hours unattended regularly. This is on frontier models though. But if I were to look in on them they’d be giving feedback during that time, but they wouldn’t need steering.

I don’t know what the op meant by manually picking but the expert systems of the 80s and case based reasoning systems of the 90s used fairly static decision functions and were explicitly called AI at the time.

You can see shows there, which is the right way to do it.

I think the environment thing is really overblown as well. What’s not overblown is the ease with which the government can get big projects done. And there are some downsides to that, specifically when it comes to property rights. The Beijin

A more charitable reading of this comment is that you can make a game theoretical argument for these behaviors that doesn’t require altruism. And that argument therefore doesn’t preclude going closed at a later date.

The reason you know the people complaining the most about this aren’t serious is that they don’t lead with crsp and vti. They did change their rules, they did it fairly specifically for spacex and it did drive inclusion in a major index fun

It’s not, and calling it so is wrong. But it is a country with extremely illiberal capital controls and a history of questionable enforcement due to perceived corruption. It’s such a good payment system it’s overcome these concerns in large

Isn’t the American military logistics the most decentralized supply chain in the world? Famously (perhaps apocryphal) _every congressional district_ has jobs in the military logistics supply chain.

They are banned though. Not curated. You are not allowed to have these in school libraries. It’s not an editorial decision. For instance the Utah law says that a book must be removed from all libraries if 3 school districts in the state ban

Yet most people in the watch industry will suggest that the Apple Watch was a boon for the industry because it retrained people to wear a watch, a fashion that was being abandoned.

If you don’t allow something to exist in a school or classroom library through statute or governmental action what do you call it? Would you prefer forbidden? Barred? Censored?

The banned books movement (on either side) is broadly not about curriculum. It’s about access in non-required spaces such as libraries and clubs. The issue there isn’t that kids are being exposed to these items, the issue is that other pare
