As long as "shut off" potentially includes irrecoverable data loss, I guess, as it otherwise couldn't conclusively work. Along with a bunch of warnings to prevent someone accidentally (or maliciously) enabling it on an import

The alternative view would be that differences of culture and values do not materially impact one's chances of becoming financially successful, right?

AWS would much rather let you accidentally overspend and then forgive it when you complain than see stories about critical infrastructure getting shut off or failing in unexpected ways due to a miscommunication in billing.

At this point I'm just hoping we can continue to postpone reality until after Christmas.

My cynical take is that crafting systems are probably the most attractive on the ratio of "amount of dev effort required to implement" relative to "amount of play time added." They're also trivially tunable. You can

I just use the "Following" tab (and not the "For you" tab).

We had ours unexpectedly blocked and we were just using it for a "Login with Google" button. The only explanation was the vague "You did something against our terms and conditions." We hadn't done anything. Our use

Even that presumes you already know when you’ll want to leave and come back. For me, I’ve got a vague idea, but it’ll depend on how much time I want to spend there. And that’ll be based on what I want to do, which may only be available cert

I have literally watched my in-laws plan and book a vacation from their smartphones. From their house, where they also have computers. They're quite different from my side of the family, but the biggest thing is that they've never

At least cruises are temporary. There’s a whole not-so-secret society among us who buy RVs. I really don’t understand the appeal at all.

I was being tracked by thousands of sites before these laws were in place and had no measurable negative impact on my life. I’m also skeptical how much practical reduction of tracking has occurred for me in the US. What I’m 100% sure of is

Even a "Reject All" button is one more annoyance than I had before these laws. The dialogs previously didn't exist at all. I'm willing to accept that some amount of personal data is being sold less, at least by some mark

I wanted to ask something like this, but I think you framed it better. I am convinced these laws have just made my life and the Internet marginally worse, with no measurable positive impact.

Not defending it but for clarity: it’s SQL Server Express that has the 10GB limit, and it’s free. They’re staying under that limit so they DON’T have to pay Microsoft. Aside from the Windows license, presumably.

Yes. The sandwich example is contrived, but the basis is "discoverability." It's very opaque to the user what actually can be done and how reliable the result is. Compare this to basically any website you've ever been to

It also removes a lot of the value of the LLM. They're perceived as being smart, and the interface (open-ended text) implies they are capable of more than executing pre-defined functions. So if you have a "CalculateQuarterRevenue(

I had it on my cable ISP, but we switched to fiber after it was put in earlier this year and no support there. Feels odd to step forward in one way and back in another.

Our incompetence in the US is much more distributed. It wouldn't surprise me if the same kind of data isn't backed up, but at least it's dozens of separate federal agencies not-backing up their data in different physical plac

A little off-topic but I’ve been waiting for a post by someone who’s built something like Claude Code or Codex that can explain how the state machine works for execution. Clearly it’s not just a good system prompt and hoping for the best. O
