What's the point of going to a murder mystery diner party, if no one gets arrested at the end?

That's a great point. We should roll up some of the privacy laws we've made into actual rights secured by amendments, instead of just wishing we weren't living in a police state.

I'm still upset that we have a TCPA to protect consumers from spam calls, and then refuse to ever enforce it.

Revolt and dump tea

That's totally ok. "It works on my machine" with no info on what that machine looks like, is much worse

Throw Away the Kamera Entirely

And there I was thinking it was obvious that merchants wouldn't just eat cc fees, and would cushion all prices to account for their costs.

Thank you for describing AI.

I don't think most polling qualifies as statistics, without providing info like selection criteria or number of respondents. Otherwise we'll walk right into another situation like when Trump won an election while polling in near last place.

Or maybe I want something a little more significant than "we asked around the newsroom, and 35% of fox news reporters approve of the current administration". Cool, thanks, but that's not helpful or even a useful datapoint.

This would need the word "genuinely" about 4 times to be Claude comments

Claude talks to you? It's started hoovering unrelated files, exploring dependencies unrelated to the task, etc, all without saying a single word to me. I'll deny the read, and say "but why?". The answer is always" I guess I don't need that, starting now... "

Excuse me? Those tokens are expensive, fuck you very much for wasting them.

But it's an approval rating. Of the people surveyed. Who chose to reply.

A lot of extrapolations are made out of the 10 people who responded.

I'm curious what happened in the source, that a copy/paste exposed such odd artifacts.

"e§ort" == effort

"Öve" == not sure. Maybe "over five"?

> would otherwise be considered terrorism

Watching what everyone does at all times is terrorism, and it is the people's right to defend themselves against such.

How do you know for sure that only your team is using the code? Are you ok with "the enemy" using your code to kill your soldiers, or you?

> or why the actors involved signed up for it.

People need money

I use postgres. I've never heard of pgbouncer. So the answer is an easy Yes.

Saved you a click.

Why must I imagine that? We're assuming it's a position where you're screaming pointlessly into the void, and never accomplish anything. That sounds miserable, I'd leave, too.

The USA did the same thing decades ago with the TCPA. It's not enforced, but it was still technically done.

Just because the ethicist says something is a bad idea, doesn't mean anyone else is obligated to make a change.

ie: blaming her for anything instead of the decision makers is... really weird?

UWM, United Wholesale Mortgage. Their location near me (Detroit suburbs) has closed, but not after getting an awful reputation that's somehow worse than Quicken or Rocket Mortgage.

It's nearly to the dome, and will crash any time now.

So one step is a little over half a meter. That doesn't sound like a hampster's stride.

"This could take up to 30 minutes for subagents to complete. Alexa reports that your refrigerator is low on milk. Here's a $2 off coupon for Walmart, why don't you restock while I work?"

Why do we choose to live in the worst timeline?

Tools (including ai) come and go. They change rapidly. If you learn and get good at one now, everything could change in a single update and you'll know nothing anymore. Focus on the how and why things are done, so you can do them in any language or with any tool, and you'll be in good shape.

No warrent? No data. Easy as.

Like when fingerprint readers were added to car doors in the 90s, and carjackers started cutting fingers off to get away...

Those are different though? At no point in that sentence was I confused about which word meant what. Unlike Amazonian datacenters deep in the Amazon's Amazon.

4 trucks... That can intercept and record all nearby 5g traffic? That's not even useful for police lmao

On the other hand, exploring any of your interests without needing to calculate how it can cover rent means you have more time and opportunities to actually do things you're interested in.

Working all day, then not wanting to do much else after because you're tired, is also fun for all of 30 minutes.

Is this interesting? AI does what we made it to do, news at 8?
