I wouldn’t be surprised if ‘experienced’ agents are generally also incompetent. Pre-trump they would have mostly had pretty mundane duties, maybe manning a border station checking paperwork, maybe even desk jockeys. Sure “enforcement” actions were a thing, but I suspect a large number of people were never anywhere close to ‘action’.

A reporter that went through the hiring process included the detail that while desk work was a possibility that a recruit had to be prepared for, it was a critical priority to get as many people on the streets with guns.

It’s frequently hard to tell at a glance codegen slop, you actually have to look at it and understand what’s going on. An LLM that would produce such slop itself isn’t going to be effective at detecting such slop.

So there remains a market for that content, just like there is a giant market for free low effort mobile games with micro transactions.

Can still seek out and reward passionate projects that clearly actually care about their output. Those projects may not get the same obscene revenue, but they frequently get a viable amount and consistently get recognition for just how well done they are.

Instead of new SSNs, how about we maybe the number less risky in general?

It should never have served as a “secret”. Authenticating someone needs more than some account number. SSN should be more of a “username”, not a password.

When it’s based on a book/series and outruns the source material

Look at the feature list bragged about. It’s really simple stuff. I can absolutely believe they vibe coded that stuff.

The “hardest” one was to feed listener history to an LLM and have it generate a playlist based on the titles. That’s such an absurdly trivial thing to do.

It’s not rocket science. It’s a trivial streaming music player.

And even if you babysit it and carefully tell it all the mistakes, it will learn nothing and suggest the same stupid mistakes next tim. I did actually know a human just like AI and he kept his job for years before quitting to grift another company because management refused to believe he sucked. So I’m not optimistic about AI screwing up discouraging business leaders.

Or even to true believers, they can just vibe code up just as good of an app.

It basically declares point blank that the technology does not matter, it’s their marketing and music rights only that matter.

Most of these employera pay employees a couple thousand dollar bonus for any patw t they get out there successfully, with zero limitations on actually implementing the patent.

I wouldn’t even mind if the fake grills looked decent, but they are just ugly. They seem to be thrashing around with what to do trying all sorts of ugly things.

Huh, how do they prevent you changing your own tire? Is this just that thing where they went with run flats and say you can’t patch them and need to buy a whole new expensive tire or something else?

If their costs went up by 3%, they could hold prices level by taking the credit card fee out and making it an explicit surcharge.

In this scenario, you have a number of these AI companies contributing to the hoarding having their equipment handled through ‘asset recovery’, which means that at least companies that can drive 15kw to a system and water cooling will probably get them on the cheap and run it on their premise, or in a colo. Maybe some of those parts will trickle down, but admittedly a good chunk of the stuff is hard to accommodate in a residential setting.

Longer term, the hardware becomes obtainable as supply chains re-calibrate back to identcal or more close solutions. Ten years ago, a datacenter GPU was likely to be same hardware as consumer, but with a different thermal solution, firmware, and the video ports unpopulated. The AI rush has made them shift to exotic packaging so they can have absurdly unreasonable wattage in small places that doesn’t work in home settings. I anticipate a swing back that way eventually.

Note that the mantra doesn’t say the market can stay irrational, it’s just a warning that if you are predicting when irrational failure will produce the expected results, you can be in for a bad time. So if someone is thinking about shorting a bunch of the heaviest bubble stocks and expecting to win, well, they can get screwed as the bubble sustains long enough to screw them and then pop.

Saw a generated site, but it just made up plausible image links and also went image heavy so it was a bunch of broken image icons as it linked to nowhere.

keeppassxc for local password manager. More secure and more helpful UI for that very purpose, also can hold your top and let you ctrl-t the current number into to clipboard.

True, though after Compaq broke the weak exclusivity, Microsoft took over stewardship of all these things like ACPI standards and such. Intel certainly contributed but Microsoft really had the force to make vendors have to honor those standards and norms.

And you get off my lawn…

All your base are belong to us…

Don’t you think?
