This particular battle for learning was lost a long time ago. If university stopped providing an earnings boost from attending, 90% of students would quit tomorrow.

It doesn’t help that a lot of desirable fields are comically out of date at the academic instructional level anyway.

Would you honestly tell an aspiring software engineer that your typical computer science degree will teach them much about wielding computers in a cutting edge way?

If I were to list the top 5 things I got from university, knowledge wouldn’t make the cut and were I to do it again, I would certainly attend less class.

This is driven in part by regulatory pressure.

Mostly because unless it is a really desirable movie, hoping for the best has an expected outcome close to the best.I am a planner in most things, but for movies, it often simply does not matter.

Because the reason for it is not valued by most of us. I do not care about a removable battery. I do not care. I value it at zero. So yes, I do not want to be inconvenienced for something I value at zero.

Flags overwhelmingly represent nations, groups considering themselves nations, that were nations or have some kind of individual governmental status.

If you asked 100 people to imagine a particular flag to attach to that statue, 95% of them are going to be current, unrecognized, or former states.

The delta isn't a day to 5 minutes, but a day to a half hour (where most of my larger tickets take)? Yes, especially as you don't need to watch it do its thing anymore.

To me, the lack of amazing productivity gains is that we have done nothing to speed up figuring out what to build and nothing to speed up getting code into production from pull request and in a lot of companies, code review is already saturated.

Also, the agents are good at figuring out problems for themselves, so I can ask it to set up a CI/CD pipeline, give it GitHub access, and it will just try things until it succeeds.

The problem is that if the local tax base needs protecting, it is doomed long term anyway.

Take a look at the (no longer that big) auto makers. Decades of protectionism has just lead to companies producing shit cars nobody wants to buy. Canada dumps money into GM, Ford, and Stellantis and they produce a minority of the cars made in Canada now.

The problem with Codex is that Codex is largely only for code due to its more aggressive sandboxing. Claude can do pretty much everything for your computer out of the box. It is not insurmountable, but it is a big barrier to convince anyone to use it for anything beyond code review.

Facebook in general has a huge scam problem. I routinely see ads claiming to be from CBC or CNN or Reuters selling lottery software, Bitcoin engines or perpetual motion machines.

Supplements seem to be the most legal out of all the scams regularly run.

No scientific line. But where does your mind put it if asked without being told which it is? This test is about where you perceive that line to be.

That is the point of the exercise though. Is 50% really where you draw the line?

Your dog has nothing worth stealing and is not responsible for anything.

Then they presumably either crawl back to you or the pain is in fact not real.

People having a bad memory is it enormous cost to institutions, which is why biometrics is so appealing in the first place.

Them being forever passwords is the value prop. The risk scene has changed, but that was essentially always the pitch.

One of the problems is that "forever passwords" is a term used positively when I worked in banking, as it was a password that the customer could not forget and would not need support using.

So I could easily see a lot of people viewing this as a positive.

> The thing is, the pain I’m solving is real. People just want to solve it themselves.

It is not that painful if they can solve it themselves though and are not immediately interested in a solution.

The other problem is that for most people, they are doing Claude building in parallel to other work. It taking 10 hours of Claude prompting is not the same as it taking 10 hours of my time.

To be more generous, it is the action that can be taken unilaterally.

Trying to eliminate gambling has vexed many an emperor and cleric.

So if he had paid someone to streak he would have gotten away with it though.

We are only seeing the very dumb here.

Cowork and Openclaw are very distinct offerings.

I haven't tried it in a while, but a known way of jailbreaking an LLM used to be to play with their "emotions."

I recall in university that many of these existed but all died as soon as they wanted payment. This seems like airline seat space. People find small seats painful. They find paying anything extra even more painful.

I mean, given that students have for long periods crammed for tests 72 hours before and that the number of course hours is also sparse and inefficient, I am surprised it took this long.

You look at a lot of places and between unions, procurement rules, or an obsession with certain classes of contractors, government capacity is badly hobbled from the start.

Eh, the way the US does a lot of things have significant cost problems.

Public spending on healthcare is around 8-9% of GDP once you add things up.

So you have already paid for a public healthcare system in many ways.

A lot of US states and municipalities work that way. Can argue whether it is wise, but it is certainly common.

A lot of them just plug into a wall outlet.

This cohort has always existed though. Users of Notepad and Vim still exist.

I see the error is for the website, but that seems to be working?

A lot of that can be overcome by including the need to be able to put more floors on top as part of the spec. Whether it be humans or agents, people rarely specify that one explicitly but treat it as an assumed bit of knowledge.

It goes the other way quite often with people. How often do you see K8s for small projects?
