I can’t tell if this is excellent sarcasm or complete ignorance.

She was also the CEO of a large customer. That sounds like it could impact his job performance.

Steve Jobs, the man who named a computer after the daughter he denied for years was his?

SFPL gives out free access to the NY Times, 3 days at a time. Maybe your local library does too.

I use a hook to deny attempts to invoke `grep /` and `find /`, even as part of a complex pipeline.

The LA Times has an article on the Magnetek verdict: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1990-01-10-fi-282-st...

Bingo, this is exactly how I use AI personally. There’s just too much SEO spam to wade through on search results anymore, and Google’s AI Mode RAG is pretty good at citing trustworthy sources when I want to dive in.

DuckDuckGo’s equivalent feature is unfortunately too prone to hallucination, especially whatever cheap model they are using for AI summaries. Once you click in it switches to GPT Luna, which will sometimes hilariously correct the previous response.

Command-N in TextEdit creates a new file called Untitled in your iCloud Drive’s TextEdit folder. No upfront name choice required.

I think the argument is that we have been in a massive everything bubble since summer of 2020, so you have to look back farther to truly understand the rarity of a 4% drop.

+4% YoY and -4% in a day are vastly different in timescale.

SF has puffer jackets. Milan has men in blue suits. Paris has women whose wardrobes consist of black and white.

I tend to use LLMs conversationally, often as search-and-summarize but also as a pair designer. I find it very difficult to operate in this mode if prefill takes more than, say, a dozen seconds. And that only gets to the reasoning output; depending of effort level it can be multiple minutes to get a reply in a freshly compacted context.

I don’t really have time to be assigning my LLM homework and designing a grading rubric for it. I judge its output like I judge my peers’ PRs.

Thank you, I was confused by what simply appeared to be a picture of someone doing laundry.

I find myself having to write a lot more skills for Qwen3.8-27b to effectively use tools it hasn’t seen before, versus virtually no skill-writing needed for Claude anymore. It seems to understand novel tools and when to use them pretty intuitively.

I think this is what the n-gram table in Qwen 4 (and 3.8-Flash-Next) is for. We’ll see if it comes down to the 27b variant.

A RAG solution would make time to first token awful.

You check its work and if it seems to do its job well enough most of the time, you just start to trust it.

Personally Qwen3.8-27b has not proven itself to me for the projects I’ve tried to use it for. It doesn’t seem to have as much encoded knowledge about the native Mac development stack.

The LLMs have indeed gotten better at representing numbers and performing arithmetic, but they can still do it wrong.

I don’t consider it a workaround for an LLM to delegate arithmetic to a calculator.

You seem to be actively resisting the understanding that share dilution is not just about the company’s balance sheet.

This is one of the ways that owning equity in a company is not the same as owning a portion of the company.

Yes, even if the company raises $10b, the ownership stake and voting power of a share is reduced by 2.5%.

And if that $10b figure is a fixed target, then if the share price continues to fall, the more shares they will need to issue, resulting in even more dilution.

Half of that would be in stocks, resulting in 2.5% dilution for shareholders at the current market cap. But the stock is down 8%.

This is the same company with intentionally annoying full-wrap bus ads on Muni. They are trying to capture mindshare.

From the article:

> Dayton, another city in Minnesota located just 10 miles north of Plymouth, has also paused its Flock program and disabled the two devices in the area. The Dayton police became aware that the company intended to replace these cameras and told Flock not to proceed with the work order. However, it moved forward with the replacement anyway despite being instructed otherwise.

If it defaulted to a week then it actually would have helped mitigated the spread. But it defaults to 2 hours, so there was a 9 hour window during prime US working hours yesterday when machines would have been auto-updating to the compromised extension.

Though Anthropic is claiming that the compromised package was published solely to Cursor’s marketplace, not not Microsoft’s.

The Sherman Antitrust Act specifically provides individuals harmed by a monopoly a cause of action to sue in federal court.

Trees can also provide soil stability. It’s possible that bulk razing this plot has turned it into a liquefaction zone.

You seem intent on arguing that enforcement of this cannot possibly matter. That kind of defeatism often wins Internet brownie points, but is not a useful way of actually being an effective force for change in the world.
