Helpful for beginners but not entirely clear what this is rethinking! These are widely known promise fundamentals since all settled became widely available in 2019ish and omits for ... await loops despite that being THE async loop primative (and what I thought this would be about reading the title).

I think I became dumber by reading this.

Politicians cannot write loopholes that benefits only their doners if the tax code and tax filing is simple. Period.

Take corporate/dark/unlimited money out of politics and watch this problem (and many other) disappear.

Did you not read the article, at all?

"Venture funding is the engine of economic innovation" is a tacit admission we have a planned economy.

Kagi & Fastmail are two of my favorite bills to pay.

Kagi. Worth every penny. Become the customer and it all gets better.

This is very very exciting.

This is much better for me but I really want a plan that includes zero AI other than edit prediction and BYOK for the rest.

But as a mostly claude max + zed user happy to see my costs go down.

You aren't wrong in the coaching but, but feedback loops are orders of magnitude faster.

It takes an LLM 2-20 minutes to give me the next stage of output not 1-2 days (week?). As a result, I have higher context the entire time so my side of the iteration is maybe 10x faster too.

The problem with the CFAA is that it is so (IMO unconstitutionally) broad it is feasible that _every American_ has arguably violated it in some way, completely accidentally.

Thus, every time we see a CFAA charge we have to ask ourselves: "Is this an abuse of power?".

We should have better, clearer laws.

To me the most interesting thing here isn't that you can compress something better by removing randomly-distributed semantically-meaningless information. It's why zstd --long does so much better than gzip when you do and the default does worse than gzip.

What lessons can we take from this?

We don't even get that anymore. We get an unexplained shadow docket opinion overturning lower courts.

> You're acting like a replacement-level employer and expecting more than replacement-level candidates.

There are probably a lot of people who need to hear this.

This was largely a waste of time to read. It doesn't really support its own point or honestly even make a point or provide anything actionable. I'm not even sure I can trust the numbers given it's been vibes-researched.

The vast majority of MAID provisions (95.9%; n=14,721) were for individuals in Track 1; 4.1% (n=622) of MAID provisions were for individuals in Track 2. (See Section 2) [1]

If you've ever seen someone die slowly in hospice or in hospital having spent the last 5-10 years in misery, of a chronic diseases with cures beyond our ken, you question will be....

only 5%?

More than zero and enough to demonstrate it's a systemic problem, say > 5%?

So you need a server for this to work and that server is closed source?

me, too, then https://godspeedapp.com/, and it finally stuck.

Still very sad about no Android, but it's good enough from my computers that I've managed to work around it with a few cloudflare-worker based mobile affordances.

You are.

There is no password in these new flows. They just ask for email or phone and send you a code.

Bad website only needs to ask for an email. It logs into Good with a bot using that email. Good sends you the code. You put the code in bad. Bad finishes the login with that code.

At no point in time is a password involved in these new flows. It's all email/txt + code.

Many sites work like this now. Resy comes to mind.

There is no password. That's the point.

It's just an email, and a six digit code they text you.

Then we're all operating with very different definitions of legitimate or benign!

I've only ever seen a Cloudflare interstitial when viewing a page with my VPN on, for example -- something I'm happy about as a site owner and accept quite willingly as a VPN user knowing the kinds of abuse that occur over VPN.

Cloudflare literally publishes documentation pages and prompts for the single purpose of enabling better AI usage of their products and services [1,2]

They offer many products for the sole purpose of enabling their customers to use AI as a part of their product offers, as even the most cursory inquiry would have uncovered.

We're out here critiquing shit based on vibes vs. reality now.

> This is funny coming from Cloudflare, the company that blocks most of the internet from being fetched with antispam checks even for a single web request.

Am I misunderstanding something. I (the site owner) pay Cloudflare to do this. It is my fault this happens, not Cloudflare's.

Personally I play a lot of 2020 not because I even care much about perfect flying physics, which I can get over and will never feel like actually flying which happens a lot by feel particularly in vfr. But rather, as extremely cheap avionics and prodecures practice, which 2020 does a mostly good job of if you pretend to be your own controller or use vatsim.

I also have a mod that gets my plane's power curve mostly right which is good enough for most IFR practice.

Weird, here I am being completely consistent that both sets of laws are completely fucked and both countries are hell holes of authoritarianism.

I'll fret about both, thank you very much.

Google probably spends more money a month than what it would take to preserve this service on coffee creamer for a single conference room.

Lotta folks here (not you) didn't read the article, which is making the point that concentrated market power is taking the jobs using AI as an excuse or tool to deliver inferior and services to customers without effective substitutes.

In other words, it's a political problem, not an AI problem.

I never made inaccurate claims about those things!
