How long do you spend on transit that most of those are necessary?

As for toilets, the new Caltrain cars, built by Stadler (from Switzerland, which has the best non-high speed rail train infrastructure in the world) were not going to include toilets at are - I don't believe they do in Switzerland - but were forced to add one by ADA regulations in the USA.

The KOSPI went up already 125% in the past year, so some sort of correction was inevitable, even if the underlying companies are healthy. The crash has been exacerbated by South Koreans levering up heavily in the past few months and now getting wiped out.

TikTok for US users

Yes, it's expired I think - it only lasts for 1 hour

> If you fail to prevent a private key from being added to your repository, you can reverse this and purge it from the blobs and reflog as if it never happened.

Only if you’re absolutely sure that it’s never been pushed to a public repository. I would treat a push of a private key to GitHub as a much higher emergency than it being sent to OpenAI (or even being accidentally used in a Google search), since there are bots that actively scan GitHub for private keys, such that your private key might be found within a few minutes of push.

In the past few years, that's been primarily Anthropic, right? A lot of the really regulation-oriented people at OpenAI went to Anthropic, particularly after the failed attempt to oust Sam Altman as CEO (that was in late 2023).

Back in the 2010s, EVs were primarily sold to customers that were more likely to be averse to SUVs for the perceived environmental impact and, frankly, snobbery (liberals of the time used to mock big SUVs like the Cadillac Escalade and the Hummer, particularly after they got associated with the timespan of the Bush administration before becoming uneconomical after the late 2000s oil price spike). Also the batteries just didn't have enough capacity at a reasonable price to build anything heavier than a sedan.

As soon as it was feasible, Tesla released a CUV (the Model Y) which now outsells the Model 3 almost 2-to-1. Arguably Tesla has fumbled by letting Elon pursue the Cybertruck rather than a full-sized SUV or normal pickup truck. You can observe that Rivian went after precisely those missing models.

I presume you get connected somehow when opening up a high-value account at a participating bank. If that account has some sort of concierge service, I presume that’s how special numbers for other companies might be distributed.

Pope Leo is not that rich, and had lived outside the US for many years (he came up in the church hierarchy of Latin America), so it’s not that surprising that he ran into this situation.

What’s your state?

So does ChatGPT. The hallucination problem is not completely solved, but much better than a few years ago, especially if you use reasoning mode, where it’s more likely to spontaneously do a web search

If a cop happens to see evidence of a crime, they don't need a warrant to arrest you for it nor for you to be charged for it. Unfortunate for this man, but he shouldn't have had drugs on him (he also had cocaine in addition to marijuana).

But you think that Anthropic of all companies would realize this, so why did they do it that way? Did they literally take the first suggestion Mythos gave them to add these guardrails - wouldn't be surprising, seeing the state of the leaked Claude Code codebase.

Who is they?

There’s a simple way to solve this: just use Codex. The auto-compaction is really good, and lets threads go on for a long time without losing track. In case you do notice a session is starting to go off track, it’s straightforward to make a new session, ask it to summarize an old session into an AGENTS.md, and start it from there.

Unfortunately, the Metaverse happened during the COVID bubble, so there was no shareholder discipline then. Meta did crash after interest rates went up - there were large layoffs - but then they got a boost to their stock due to their AI strategy, which seemed competitive until Llama 4 in early 2025, although they were never on the frontier. Even since then they’ve been burning a ton of cash on AI with no discernible results.

The private equity strategy of putting Meta into maintenance mode and focusing purely on their social media business would have been much better.

Particularly not with OpenAI finally getting on Bedrock.

Europe 2031[0] imagined something like this would happen, but thought it would take a few years. AGI ahead of schedule

Anthropic in particular has been angling for regulatory capture (with themselves in control, of course) pretty explicity.

You would think that someone is getting real cell phone numbers, for the same reason scammers value residential IPs rather than data center IPs.

> In the Hot 8 Yoga burglary case, San Francisco police issued a search warrant that forced Waymo to turn over information on the account that ordered the ride and video footage from the white Jaguar that served as the getaway car, police records show.

> Faye said that he couldn’t discuss certain details of the case, but that the Waymo user’s account information didn’t lead police to the suspect. In general, he said, it’s not unusual for a criminal to order a service with stolen information or a burner phone.

> The video evidence didn’t help much either, Faye said. He said that the company had not retained interior footage of the car by the time the search warrant was filed in April and that it had kept the faces seen outside the car blurred for privacy reasons.

> “It’s highly unusual in the first place that a Waymo is even used by a suspect,” Faye said. “It was disappointing that the internal video was not able to lead to the recognition of a suspect.”

This headline is so vague as to be misleading.

What actually happened is that AT&T and Verizon were penalized for mishandling customer location data by the FCC. They paid their fines, but attempted to contest them because they were levied by an administrative action, without a jury trial (which they claim would violate the Seventh Amendment), drawing an analogy to the case SEC v. Jarkesy, in which the Supreme Court ruled that the SEC could not impose civil penalties without a jury trial.

However, the Court ruled in this case that, since the law in question allowed the companies to appeal their fines to a jury trial, that the penalties are constitutional. This is unlike SEC v. Jarkesy, where the SEC civil fines in question had no provision for appeal to a trial by jury.

Furthermore, the Court clarified that the companies have the option to settle their obligations by either paying the fine, or by not paying the fine and appealing. The companies had claimed that the text of the law required them to pay the fine before their appeal, but the Court disagreed.

It costs a lot more than $18,000 to hire a decent developer, pretty much anywhere in the world. Also using a model is better than another developer in some ways, because there aren't two independent minds trying to work with each other.

No, but you do want Opus-tier models to do desktop and office software automation (think about people who intensely use Excel and the like). Actually those might take even more tokens that coding in a lot of cases. Why do you think Claude Cowork is successful, and why do you think Codex is leaning so hard into Computer use?

Can you name a service that charged companies thousands/seat/month that turned out to be almost or completely useless? There's lots of random services sold to corporates that are not very useful (all the random benefits besides health care, life insurance, and other big-ticket items), but the per-seat charge of those is much smaller.

> "unlimited tokens for every employees we don't even care if it actually ends up being a net positive financially"

That was clearly a short-term trend that would obviously get fixed. Doesn't say much about AI coding as a business model.

There are some objections here saying that some US firms are using Chinese AI providers, but I wonder if any of those are subject to compliance. Large firms that are disproportionately responsible for AI spending are all subject to compliance.

I am too. I've heard of the supposedly correct pronunciation, but I can't bring myself to use it. The "PRY-mer" pronunciation is more common in practice.

I command you to love systemd timers!

(Yeah, they're pretty useful, especially after you get an LLM to write all the boilerplate for you. The boilerplate was the main reason I preferred crontab before.)

Not related - many robber barons went bankrupt in the severe economic crashes of the time, such as the Panics of 1873 and 1893. The Gilded Age continued despite bubbles popping.
