Atopile is ditching their cli. They're going the wrong direction. It seems to me the first problem with AI in PCB design is that there isn't much in the way of machine friendly interfaces for the work. I watched Codex last night g

Better hurry up. The frontier labs are making their latest coordinated push for regulatory capture.

Sadly service manuals aren’t commonly sold anymore and you need a subscription to a website to access factory service manuals. It’s a shame, I use to buy the service manual when I bought the car.

Or put another way, actively tracking your every movement. Analyzing your behaviors to predict possible criminality. What’s already happening is bad enough. What it enables to happen next is a nightmare.

The DSPs that could double as a sound card and “soft” modem ruined their market in short order.

The underlying data must be used to cross sell. I added a Neo to the bag and the next screen included it in the accessories list.

I want to understand if we're really comparing apples to apples. What does 'consumption' mean in these contexts? How much of the water returns to the local water table vs evaporation vs becomes waste water?

I find this unsettling. When a private entity buys Flock, how do they _use_ it? Is it more than ALPR? Are they sharing the data with the network and offer it to the police? Can they watch footage?

It's certainly overly broad in many circumstances. I've lived in a townhome community with overly aggressive management. However, "There is absolutely no reason why a single family house needs to be in a mandatory HOA" i

What about an HOA for the management of roads and rainwater runoff (ponds, etc)?

Any indications it works? What have you seen?

I added a system prompt paragraph explaining that a question is just a question, whether or not I’m in plan mode. It still just takes the question as a directive and jumps to action when I’m looking for clarification.

Same experience in 2000s. I’ll never forget there was a kid on his third try to pass the mandatory Intro to Engineering class. I sure hope he moved on to a new major.

People or their agents must be accidentally committing or publishing their repository level secrets and configs with enough regularity that it’s worth scanning.

Yes. Evaporative cooling towers. I suppose in those cases nearly all the water used goes to atmosphere.

Okay but that doesn’t detract from the intended purpose of DMARC.

by thedougd 4mo ago
The primary purpose of DMARC is to prevent impersonation not to prevent spam. I own a domain, I implement DMARC to make sure others know when email from my domain is legitimately from my domain.

If you use AWS Config with an organization wide aggregator, which Control Tower sets up by default these days, have your agent use it to find resources and related resources. You can build most of the graph from that alone without traversin

Blast radius. One example… What happens when you give an identity s3:* on resource: *? It can read/modify every bucket in the account that doesn’t have a resource policy with an explicit deny.

It’s a new SKU. You’ll have to pay for that new type of app.

There are the handful that it’s not just a web console or API you interact with. Have to file a support ticket. Those will be a pain.

This is the conversation I plan to have with Okta sales soon. Wait till you see how easy AI makes it to switch to Entra ID or anyone else. It’s tedium not even problem solving.

I thought this might be the case. Thanks.

IMO, the text is in the wrong direction. I thought it felt uncomfortable to read. On my real life bookshelf, it flows from top to bottom.

Amazingly some companies like Hyland still ship software that requires IIS. Bonus add are the pages and pages of setup instructions.

Curious about other experiences. I’ve been playing with this stack and left wondering if Strands provides any secret sauce with Agent Core. So far it doesn’t feel that way and sometimes they even feel at odds with each other.

I still can’t use Containers because of a broken DNS implementation. I suppose I could manually set the DNS as I switch on and off VPN, but I don’t have to with Finch, Podman, or Docker Desktop.
