Good to know it pays off. I turned it off after 45+ minutes because I was falling asleep. The world was impressive and immersive, but felt more like being on a tour than living a narrative.

Why do you care how much effort it took the engineer to make it? If there was a huge amount of tedium that they used Claude Code for, then reviewed and cleaned up so that it’s indistinguishable from whatever you’d expect from a human; what’

They could require government ID to sign up and an adult sponsor to certify accounts for kids. Plus a limit on how many accounts an adult can sponsor. It would be a mess, but solve the problem. It’s not that we don’t have the technology, we

As far as I’m aware, no one at United Healthcare (the monopoly that owns Change Healthcare, which was hacked for most of these) was held accountable.

There is a field in a claims form that indicates what type of insurance it is. One of these is CHAMPUS, which indicates that it is for a service member or their family. You can tell which. As a basic case, accumulate these (as in the CHC br

This wouldn’t have solved the largest one, Change Healthcare. They are an insurance claims exchange. They have to have all of this data. The breach was social engineering of a customer support rep. Having worked with them, they’re absolutel

Or it’s possible he was lying! If Block is really so much more efficient, while doing well, they should invest that talent into expanded products and services. But that’s not what we’re seeing. Some things: - They acquired AfterPay for $29b

So my cofounder was talking to Stripe about an acquihire (this was after I’d left.) As part of it, he had to do a systems design interview. He got the prompt, asked questions about throughput requirements (etc.), and said, “okay, I’d put it

You keep trying to say this all over these comments but this isn’t how the law works, at all. I fully understand that they are using it to ban things from the supply chain. The law, however, is not “first find the effect you want, then find

Okay, then imagine you overhear at a bar. Yes “anyone could have” theoretically, but not actually. In either case, you have material non-public information that your counterparty in the market does not.

Prediction markets are regulated by the CFTC in the US. Your point stands, for now at least, since the CFTC seems entirely uninterested in prosecuting or regulating.

Yes and no. If you see prediction markets as how they were originally pitched (price ~approximating likelihood), then insider trading is good. It provides discovery. If you look at what prediction markets are today (gambling, especially on

Supply chain risk is not meant for this. The government isn't banning Anthropic because using it harms national security. They are banning it in retribution for Anthropic taking a stand. It's the same as Trump claiming emergency p

This isn’t the case, sadly. Some people, like Ben Horowitz sadly, have gone completely off the deep end. Some are culture warriors who feel they have been wronged, some are opportunists. But the thing with opportunism is that this is who th

“A source familiar with the matter” is almost certainly a company spokesperson. If they were unrelated, Anthropic wouldn’t be doing this this week because obviously everyone will conflate the two.

Using threes is common in English writing and speaking. It has an optimal balance of expressiveness (three marking a pattern or breadth; creating momentum) without being overwhelming. It’s not uncommon, as basic writing advice, to use sets

AFAIK none of the recent tenders have been self-funded. They’ve matched external investors who want shares with employees. Also, not sure what you mean by "tiny". It's been billions of dollars.

I hope they never go public (also as an ex-Stripe!) I can't really see a net-positive benefit to having public shareholders and reporting requirements. Do we think Stripe's leadership needs feedback from random investment advisors
