Building Android is heavy, and so is Chrome.

Or the plot to The Princess Diaries. Like, every adolescent in a certain era experienced that.

Don’t $200 and $20 levels steer you to effectively different models?

LLM agent harnesses make it possible to do: CLI, TUI, REST API, web front end + Electron, native (I do macOS first, which then makes iOS/iPadOS almost trivial, followed by Android), and if I’m feeling ambitious, Windows (native) and Li

If a group of humans gets isolated in an island, the moon, etc., experiences a population bottleneck and bigtime selection pressures, a new species might emerge after 500 generations (about 10,000 years).

Does this explain the conspiracy theories about “insertions”? When I looked into it, many other virus species had similar “insertions” - the problem seeming to be the sequencing itself not being accurate (as opposed to every viral disease b

When I interact with the general public, I get a nice reminder that most people don't do a decent PIN lock, don't have encryption on unless it's the default for that platform, and don't do regular updates. Lots of reason

Yet the law says they have to conduct a good-faith effort to find someone in America who already has authorisation to work (whether a citizen, green card, refugee, asylee, TPS, etc.) who is equally or more qualified. If it's a given th

File a lawsuit and subpoena evidence from the employer. We already do this for discrimination lawsuits. It turns out that you can, indeed, just do things. It's illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, and it can indeed be enforced

Quite easy to enforce with a private right of action.

Well, the government actually requires a non-ghost job posting for PERM applicants. There may not be much enforcement of this, particularly employers going out of their way to try to get as few qualified applications as possible.

I wouldn't really want to deal with the suspicions of having a freshly-wiped phone, or the suspicions of having no phone at all. A proper burner phone has basic usage on it. Link it to a Gmail account you don't use for anything el

U.S. citizens are going to need obtain a burner phone before returning, and load it with the absolute minimum to load boarding passes, etc., perhaps some reading material or a movie to watch on the plane, and be prepared to share full crede

Really? I’ve had no trouble at all directing an agent harness to simply maintain multiple UIs (in my case, Android, macOS + iOS, and a TUI, the latter mostly to ease debugging).

I already have to read the output from a fleet of agents every day for my job. Sometimes I just want to read what a human wrote.

Yep. The traffic he got appears to be stuff that should have remained private that leaked to a public network; it's not the first time that's happened, particularly for U.S. military traffic which is accustomed to having its own p

Allowing it to analyse a system under test (usually in an emulator, web browser, Electronic app container, etc. - something that can be reasonable captured). It makes running much, much longer feedback loops possible. Although you can mix a

I've mitigated this by giving it a "skill" that just means the harness using a different model.

TurboTax's guarantee has no value beyond marketing to potential TurboTax customers.

Are sure this actually the case, legally speaking? I can definitely see someone being able to mount a good criminal defence case that they aren’t responsible for misrepresentations that an LLM agent makes on, for example, a loan application

Well, by definition, someone who can’t afford it is eligible to apply for and receive assistance. I know plenty of people who are eligible and simply don’t want to apply.

But that’s not universal care. “Triage determines it not necessary” is a cold comfort to someone waiting years for a procedure they actually do need.

I did a similar project for another make of printer, but used DS Flash and GPT-5.6-Sol, so it was effectively free ($2-$3 of Flash and maybe 5% of a monthly Max sub, so $10?)

We can dream. I would do unspeakable things with 512GB of RAM.

Okay, well, nothing’s stopping folks from using hg, P4, svn, CVS, RCCS, MS Visual Source Safe, ClearCase, or who knows what else.

In America, anyone who earns $20k a year with with a 2 year old is going to get free medical care, too. I have several kids and my medical care is free up until we make about $55,000 per year. If we had no jobs, same thing. A close relative

They do perform one useful service: forcing a hospital that tries to issue a $100,000 bill that should be $10,000 to reissue it, and not leave the patient saddled with a giant debt. (Medicaid & Medicare claims processors do the same thi

Yeah, having lived under universal care, the dark side of it was atrociously long waits to see a specialist and having a GP who is obviously overworked and barely spends any time seeing you.

Ah, another post about Cursor. About half of the comments will be generic criticisms of Twitter, SpaceX, etc. for things that may or may not have happened, or personal complaints about Elon Musk.

You do know you can run git on your own machine, on pretty much any Linux/Unix based server, run it entirely peer-to-peer if you wish... or use Gitlab, including self-hosted Gitlab, or one of many other Git based servers?
