So the bodycam that I have because of threats to my person is okay and somehow different?

There seems to be a great variance here. Maine, for example, has been making available computers and educational assets and as a result some prisoners have become quite technologically adept and left prison as skilled technologists.

That is some nasty garbage right there. The Israeli tech startup scene is very large and dynamic with including basic software development tools, wireless infrastructure, and so on. If anything it is more like 90% either consumer infrastr

Hong Kong has been in a different spot since 2023 when the Chinese government targeted some of the biggest due diligence companies and shut them down, substantially disrupting all contract driven commerce at that time. Avoiding random corr

This is about green field development which is relatively rare. Much of the time the starting point is a bunch of code using React or maybe just a lump of PHP. Business logic ends up plunked down all over the place and LLMs tend to make a h

Have you ever seen a cop trying to pull over a Waymo? It isn't going well.

Seems interesting, but why is it broken. Waymo repeatedly directed multiple automated vehicles into the private alley off of 5th near Brannan in SF even after being told none of them have any business there ever, period. If they can sense

This obsession over a billion as a marker is toxic nonsense. Having nine hundred something million is not that much different. The main way to deal with this is progressive taxation of both income and wealth which should provide increasin

Then the reductions in lean muscle mass will start to become visible in all cause mortality statistics. This could be a rough ride.

UC Berkeley gets much of its IT infrastructure from Google in a big and expensive contract. Perhaps some of the campus staff could try to negotiate on your behalf?

Hallucinations that have certain characteristics and boundaries are still hallucinations. This is happening because learning models are doing pattern matching, so to put it briefly anything that fits may work and end up in the output. Bein

The American economy today is far larger and more diverse than Rome or the British Empire ever were which makes such comparisons difficult at best. One of the good things about fiat currencies is that you can manipulate or replace them as

Some are saying there is no more room for junior employees in all of this, but it seems like these LLM spasms generate lots of disruption that would be at appropriate levels of complexity and priority for juniors to be handling.

The swipe against IKEA at the end seems out of place. In my experience IKEA knives have decent materials, design, and build quality despite the low price point. Maybe this is an artifact of the author's focus on resale value? IKEA k

Still not convinced. Advocates claim this helps, but imply that programmers should now be constantly evaluating a dozen or more assistants in various ways and honing prompting strategies. Does that not take time and effort? Wouldn't

No. Disbelief has always been around. That there is no Church of Disbelief is a feature not a bug. Not speaking ill of the dead has a range of connotations, probably most prominent being avoiding easy targets that can't defend themsel

I'm supposed to adopt these wonderful new tools, but no one can figure out exactly what they are, how they should work, how much they cost, or other basics. This is worse than the early days of the cloud. Hopefully most of this goes

They put a great deal of effort into talking about political violence and implying that Democrats are a source of rioting and terrorism. The indifference is only to their own violence.

If that were really true then the practice of taking cuts from the cost of copies to pay everyone involved would still be working, but it isn't. And there appear to be differences between media, for example daily papers are different
