almosthere··on X offices raided in France as UK opens fresh investigation into Grok
do you have links, all the chatgpt and gemini references I've seen show the large protest happened 1 time, not daily. And beyond that, the chatbots suggest it's overwhelming support for the arrest.

There are no news sites claiming large daily protests that you claim.

I agree but so far at all places I have ever worked, I have access to the local hardware, disk, etc... if that's an actuality it's extremely rare.
almosthere··on X offices raided in France as UK opens fresh investigation into Grok
At some point in the near future I see a day where our work laptops are nothing more than a full screen streaming video to a different computer that is housed in a country that has no data extradition treaties and is business friendly.

Because that country and the businesses that support that are going to get RICH from such a service.

almosthere··on Top engineers at Anthropic, OpenAI say AI now writes 100% of their code
I mean to be honest, we're a company of 12 devs, I think 100% of our code is agentic now. We almost treat it as a liability to hand write something.

Apparently cursor keeps track and Opus4.5 is the model our top 3 devs use.

almosthere··on Goodbye Java, Hello Go
Does Go have versioned libs yet? Last time I tried it, people were asking me to compile something that depended on another git repo, like a direct connection to a different git repo, that had diverged in API. And it was broken - no one cared, almost like that's normal. This was probably 10 years ago though, so it's probably different now.

Self answered - Go Modules. I guess so. I'll take another look, getting sick of Python lately.

almosthere··on US judge rules Luigi Mangione won't face death penalty in CEO killing case
I actually think it's so bad in our country right now that if someone showed up at the court and snuck a gun in and shot Luigi in the back and killed him ... THAT guy would definitely get the death penalty. (he should, but so should Luigi)

It's all political at this point.

almosthere··on Wisconsin communities signed secrecy deals for billion-dollar data centers
These data centers are causing people with specific (probably autistic) hearing (disorders or specialties) to go insane. It is unfortunate that these data centers are being considered by only the electric and water issues, but not direct insanity that it causes some residents that hear the "hummmmmmmmmm"

God I wish I re-read my statement, I was more focused on Humans think of an unlimited number of scenarios - not necessarily all. A computer will only think of pre-programmed ones.

I don't think it makes sense to lump some drivers better than waymo and worse than waymo. A human brain automatically thinks of all the scenarios, where Waymo has pre-programmed ones (and some NN based ones). So it's scenarios by scenario.

Consider this scenario:

5 kids are walking on the sidewalk while you're driving past them. But suddenly a large dumpster is blocking your view of them just as you pass. You saw them before the dumpster, but not after your car and the dumpster completely blocks the view.

Does a human brain carry some worry that they suddenly decide to run and try to cross the street after the dumpster? Does Waymo carry that worry or just continue to drive at the exact same speed.

Again, it's not like every driver will think about this, but many drivers will (even the bad ones).

I remember someone using similar language when Uber self driving killed someone - and when the video was released, it was laughable.

It is also crazy that this happened 6 days ago at this point and video was NOT part of the press releases. LOL

almosthere··on A lot of population numbers are fake
In the United States, the media is nearly 100% controlled by political / business factions and while there is technically "free press" on the law, the money side of things prevents truth to be spread, unless you're on other media platforms that are not under control.
