Is "Take Five" sad-sounding even though it's written in a minor key? Maybe it sounds somewhat "cooler", not as bright as a major key piece of the same tempo and energy would be, but it doesn't sound sad.

Every jazz player knows you can drop the fifth, and the root too if the bass is filling it in. That gives your fingers room to add even crazier extensions

See, Judge Alsup should have been the person Biden put on the Supreme Court, that or re-nominate Merrick Garland. Instead, he made a silly promise to sate Black Lives Matter, which even when he took office was fast on its way to ignominy, a

Important to note that `~` SSH commands work only right after you press Enter - it doesn’t trigger everywhere you press `~`. Also EnableEscapeCommandline fortunately only affects `~C` - the all-important `~.` to kill a hung SSH session stil

If you only need to keep Office around to occasionally edit a file while preserving formatting, there’s now another option in 2026 - get a coding agent to do it for you. I’ve had Codex make substantial edits to financial model spreadsheets

I mean, did you check the IPs and make sure they’re from OpenAI? Obviously a fly-by-night AI company is going to set their User Agent to be from a big player.

I care more if AI was used to churn out a bunch of slop writing, mostly because of the lack of an authorial voice, which causes most of the writing to suck. Code is different - I have never cared about how much or how little effort went int

There have been arguments that the wealth tax proposal has loopholes that would allow it to be extended to much lower levels of wealth without a further amendment. More importantly, if that’s the way the state’s politics are trending, it mi

Ironically, they probably could if they used Codex or Claude Code. Those harnesses and models are good enough to do that these days (since late last year, and getting better since then). However, it seems that DeepMind and no one else at Go

Nah, the good LLMs can generally web search and read documentation well enough that the fact that pre-training isn’t up to the minute is not a serious concern. Badly-documented projects are more of a concern, but they weren’t likely to get

Denial of service isn’t worth that much generally, I think - you can’t use it to directly steal data or to install a payload for later exploitation. There are usually generic ways to mitigate denial of service as well - IP blocking and the

In this case, it was United, almost all transpacific flights. I've read that United has started to move to Starlink, but only on a few flights so far.

If I’m flying for work and Starlink is that much better, quite possibly. My wife’s experience with other in-flight WiFi providers has been quite poor, often to the point that it barely works. Having said that, neither of us has been on a fl

I think this is why they're supposed to be limited to 800 W, but is that enough to avoid serious danger to utility workers when a whole apartment building or neighborhood is full of these?

With LLMs, it's potentially a lot easier to use microcontrollers now, depending on how widely available the documentation is now.

If Starlink becomes common enough on flights, I absolutely believe it will be a competitive disadvantage.
