Visa and Mastercard are a cancer.
Or different SKUs. Just saying.
Not that hard for the most profitable trillion dollar company on the planet.
I passed because I didn’t kill anyone in the span of eight blocks.
They’re building Samaritan.
Spoilers!
I was just about to go see my middle school’s production of Macbeth hoping to see some violence but now it’s ruined!
That was literally Broadcom’s reason for existing before Avago even acquired them. It’s the other half of the Qualcomm/Broadcom telecom duopoly.
Almost certainly not. Pretty much anything inhaled in large amounts will cause pneumoconiosis including pollen. Some stuff like asbestos or coal dust are worse than others, but even biologically inert particles tend to cause health problems.
I just looked it up and MW’s definition of “missing” is “absent” or “lost” or “needed or expected but not included”. Dictionary.com says “absent, not found, or lost” and “lacking”. Wiktionary says “Not able to be located; gone, misplaced”, “Not present when it (they) should be”, and “Of an internal combustion engine: running roughly due to an occasional lack of a spark or other irregular fault.”
That’s why the article is titled “ A Million Falcons Went Missing. Here’s How They Were Found”.
Something was unknown, then we used sensors to solve the mystery. Wild, isn’t it?
For the latter, Cloudflare Tunnels + Zero Trust + Github SSO means securing them is rather easy and with the recent cf cli the agent does all the work. Their native support for base64 encoded images is also helpful to “encourage” the LLM to look at stuff without constant prodding.
Is that why I have to constantly remind Claude and ChatGPT that they do have access to a Github plugin that can access my account, instead of trying and failing to use the gh cli?
See Wittgenstein’s Philosophical Investigations for a deeper treatment of that topic.
The vast majority of the people I knew who flew in weren’t rich like Zuck, they just liked flying. It’s the only way to get a wristband that allows you to come and go at will (i.e. to run logistics for a camp) and avoid exodus if you had to leave that day.
15 years ago no one gave a damn about the rich people going to burning man. They were isolated in their camps. We were much more concerned with keeping our Sparkle Ponies alive.
Would it even help if it weren’t a blackbox? Maybe to the frontier labs with resources, but even trying to read through the thinking traces of an open model doing a nontrivial task easily takes me an entire day to do correctly (i.e. actually looking at the code it read in) and much more if I’m trying to tune a specific repeatable task.
Applying that to agentic coding seems like a losing proposition. The only way to manage it seems to be more agents and that’s its own rabbit hole of compounding errors (like Claude’s useless comments).
Definitely. Software is a digital arms race between companies so they’ll just keep expanding. I’m sure at some scale that breaks down but we are far from that point. My lumberyard, a few miles away from one of ASML’s US facilities, still runs its POS and inventory tracking on old DOS machines. In a decade they could probably make more money selling them as antiques.
And yes, small scale butchers slaughtering cows for a few local farmers and their customers buying whole carcasses have very different sanitary standards than an industrial meat packing plant. I sign a waiver every time.
> It’s not dirty or unsanitary by any means
How did you get from that to “this butcher was standing in his insufficiently cleaned butchering room”? Whatever personal bugbear you have, I want nothing to do with it.
It’s the inflection point when our priors change.
