I dunno - my boss has deployed a couple of claw agents that are pretty good at doing SWE and SRE work. They’re available for the whole company to use, and they save us a ton of time. Pretty decent use case! Personally I haven’t found claw a

I love the idea of returning to this to be honest. What was missing was the big awesome list of RSS feeds haha. This is actually a great idea. The key is to actually continue to do this and not gatekeep and charge money for promoted crap an

This is certainly the most risk averse, conventional take on the topic to keep you safe and avoid vulnerability. That said, if you bring this opinion to your next job then you also won't really leave much room to build these connection

Just gonna say that while thinking through your direct reports' career progression is not the only job you have as a manager, it is definitely an important part of the work and something that is prioritized at some companies. This arti

So far, they are not funded to do this for that long. They have floated a $200B bill to congress, which made national news coverage. It would start a huge, prolonged fight over the war and actually force them to ask permission from congress

This is not a correct take at all given the contents of the article.

It’s definitely a use case for this and would’ve saved a lot of pain IMO but also seems like it would have added confusing technology to what was a VERY Python-heavy stack that would’ve benefitted from other elements. Hardest part is always

“Congrats all we maybe fixed the problem we created in the first place! Let’s celebrate!” Also - wasn’t this program voluntary? This seems like the height of backslapping. Would have been better if they just sat on their hands and did nothi

Do they hit their targets? Eventually with enough of them it’s not super important but… it does matter a bit.

It’s not meaningless - it just shouldn’t be held up as the only thing. Sometimes having a couple proxies is Ok as long as you also look at value in other ways. /shrug

This is the intention. They do not want folks that can’t pay to use their service.

Man I loved programming TI-82s. So many fun ways to build things. I really didn't learn much math that year - I was too enthralled with writing programs to answer the problems for me.

Maybe? But I guess I won't find out until I try it a bit. For now, I'm not posting anything - just managing some calendars and inboxes and task lists and saving me some data entry. Not sure how that makes downsides gargantuan, or

It’s not a need - it’s a fun new thing - fun to see what’s possible and how it helps. OpenClaw is not easy to set up or user friendly for most (BlueBubbles and Claw had an annoying bug recently) - but the way I have seen it work well requir

Eh… Titanic did flood in the engine rooms so… might work? That humor aside: I think it’s about risk tolerance, and you configure accordingly. You lock it down as much as you need to still do the things you want, and look for good outcomes,

This is great news. The 1M context is much easier to work with than compacting all the time and seems to perform and remember quite well despite the insane amount of data.

The assumption with these weapons was that they would require too much energy to be portable enough to be undetectable in all of these circumstances (at least based on other reporting on the subject). If the device doesn't require a lo

What I don't see in this article that should be explicit: If your data is in this database, it's gone. Other people have it. Your sensitive data that you handed over to their teams has vanished in a puff of smoke. You should proba

Likely also depends on whether you get your power from a Co-op, investor-owned utility, or some other source. The IOUs will definitely want to amortize infra investment, whereas coops might be more focused on best-power-for-price for consum

I anticipate they will fix this by adding better AI evaluation tools that work better to test their infra and changes. In the meantime they will be quite a bit slower I’d imagine. Also wonder if those seniors will ever get to actually do an

I loved HyperCard. Using it you really felt like you were building something of consequence - it was pretty magical to go from simple word processing to this in one model leap of a school computer.

Not sure how much this happens in practice anymore - any smart utility is going to use your solar / house battery to cover their spikes and reduce overall costs so they don’t have to keep an old dormant coal plant on the books for the

I don’t believe they will. They will be thrown out soon enough and hard - but the incumbents will fight like hell to make sure people’s voices are silenced, diluted, or not counted.

Dear leader says prices are down. So they are down. He tells me I’m doing better than ever before. So I must be.

“Unexpectedly” lol We’ve been digging ourselves a giant AI-inflated hole in the economy for months and folks have just been playing musical chairs to grab as much money as possible before the music stops. Hard to believe it’s taken this lon

There isn’t really a distinction day to day on this in practice. It covers everybody - just easier to say than all the official titles and typically for morale helps to carry the name all the way to the back office to connect to what’s happ

Are we in "A Brand Age" or does The Brand Age occur only in different spaces after a technology becomes ubiquitous and like a utility, so the only way to command a premium is branding? What things are not quite there but will have

I’ve been doing this with a tmux tunnel and an app on my laptop that connects sessions you select to a virtual terminal using sockets. I asked Claude to build it and it works great - full terminal functionality and Markdown review with comm
