> It's worth noting that while these dangers are real, they are largely economic, and so effectively a moral and political choice. I bet you're right. I'd just add that those are actually more difficult choices than techni

I think Mozilla of all people would understand why standardizing on one private organization's way of doing things might not be best for the overall ecosystem. Building a tool that meets LLM providers where they are instead of relying

I feel like we'll understand more what they plan by seeing how they iterate towards it with the '26 midterms. The feds have already started requesting access to 2020's election data and access to the actual equipment. Is that

Yeah I came here to say the same thing. It seems like it would simplify things. They do say: "I initially considered training a single end-to-end VLA model. [...] A cable-driven soft robot is different: the same tip position can corres

Boy I am now, that's for sure. I'll add that, even though a movie might be called "Kung Fury" it can't also have several compelling dinosaur supporting characters who add real heft and emotion to the film.

I just think that for the next few years at least there should be some sort of disclosure in how a paper used AI.

Yeah it reminds me of bun, for node, in that way (and that probably exposes how well I understand tooling). It's like somebody just swept everything off the table and started over. I never learned python the way I wanted to because for

Heh, I agree that writing is superior to talking, but not in the way you do. I much prefer to take meeting notes than to listen to a bot munge names and concepts. Any mistakes in note-taking are mine, and I can own that. If it's multip

We have a lot of sensitive meetings these days, so we aren't recording them. We have had to put guard rails in place to keep people from sending their AI note-takers to the meetings because they don't listen to our CEO when he say

I think you're both right. If the wood shop class was a class in how to run a wood shop (not just in how to run a lathe) it would be the best of both worlds.

Seriously. Conventional transaction processors are the problem, not the solution. They can pick favorites and shut off payments for non-favorites, change their TOS, hit you with surprise transaction fees, randomly suspend your account, inse

I've been reading some sci-fi by Kate Elliott lately. While she gets around large distances with the usual FTL tech of sci-fi, in-system space battles hew a little more to physics, so that you get situations like, "Crap! The bad g

They need a better PR department. When I read "MCP is eating the world" I took it as, "this is a bad thing." Which, based on the last blog post I read from a knowledgeable person[0], it is. And the more I read this artic

I agree that this is a story about a blog post. Having them both up I'd say that they complement each other pretty well. Cloudflare blocked the attack, so they have all the meaningful data, but that post is basically an ad for Cloudfla

Yeah I totally fail to grasp the concept of national-level Physical Access Control. In the richest country in the world, with a population approaching 400,000,000 people and 7,458 of land borders (not even counting our sea borders), the phr

I'd use a "subpar" LLM for any coding practice where I want to do the bulk of the thinking and where I care about how much coal I'm burning. It's kind-of like asking, for which kind of road-trip would you use a Coro
