Fraud isn't a new concept.

The marginal utility over $10k/mo/employee isn't super high now, but maybe there is some future where it is. shrug

That's Microsoft, not Meta.

It's a small number if it generates +$14B in revenue.

I can't speak to MSFT, but this is sort of a non-story for Meta. Of course they want employees using their own model! They haven't actually taken any steps to limit Claude access.

Non-optimized builds can be pretty quick, although I guess you're always paying for borrow checking.

Of course, Claude understands Rust, too.

Or, in 2026, Rust (or Zig, I don't care).

> If you only look at biofuels for the fuel value they still produce more energy than growing consumes. Though the amount of added energy is not great, it is more efficient than burning oil directly.

Is the marginal energy production worth the intense financial subsidy, though? That's really the important question. Would our dollars be better spent on direct electrification instead?

It's a way to subsidize non-food-grade corn farmers, yeah.

You can ask about the status (mincore), but it's an inherently racy operation.

The API already exists: mlock.

So, uh, mlock those pages?

Certainly corn ethanol is mostly a bad idea (other than for anti-knock).

> being familiar with cryptographic protocols and formats where the hash algorithm is usually a parameter that can vary for each concrete hash.

This flexibility ("agility") in cryptographic protocols is often seen as a mistake today, actually.

Well, also the dating market is illiquid, with high transaction costs and incomplete information.

1 in 100k risks (0.001%) aren't an argument against something that would benefit double digit percentages of the population.

It is necessarily so if you're using Gale-Shapley for heterosexual matching, yes.

Yeah, so, who are the proposers and who are the receivers?

Right, very fair.

Batteries can also be located outside, of course. There's still fire risk (from both) due to proximity.

Which is kind of wild, because generators powered by combusting fuels are also giant fire hazards (and produce noxious CO and other gases), of course.

> Does anybody at the BBC actually understand what batteries are, and why they cannot possibly compete with power plants!?!?

VPPs displace more expensive generation capacity at the margin. Because your marginal loads are for relatively short durations. It's actually quite smart, especially if you can get end consumers to subsidize it.

It is actually a pretty great way to address marginal demand spikes without overbuilding generation capacity. With the fringe bonus of local protection from short outages.

Disingenuous sells more clicks, of course.

If that's the meaning, the article is uninteresting and meaningless -- telling us nothing new.

As usual in this kind of thing, "linked to" in this context does not mean anything like "actually known to cause breast cancer in humans." Just as we have cured cancer in rodents repeatedly, we have also caused cancer in rodents repeatedly, sometimes by giving them extremely high doses of chemicals that do not correspond to how much a human might consume.

Maybe we can just make small, directionally correct policy changes? With slightly better-aligned incentives? Even if they are modest.

Just editing the primary file without corresponding update to persistent undo record already breaks persistent undo. Do you prevent users from editing their own files in your text editor?

This is a sign you might be more productive in a higher-level language.
