Impressive marketing spin on “our product and deployment strategies are wildly insecure.”

$160/yr for a two person plan. (And I use it on phone, personal, work, gaming — it’s not like their limiting user sessions.) I pretty much only use the search.

Yep, but it’s optional. I have the AI summary in my search off.

Switched to Kagi a year ago, haven’t looked back.

Nuts, undermines the picture I had of them based on abolishing their army.

How do you use it?

My main interaction with Pinterest had been with it clogging my search results with copied images that no longer link back to their source pages.

I was very excited about open firmware and ran FreshTomato for a while. Eventually I decided it wasn’t reliable though (2.4Ghz wasn’t actually running on one router, occasional speed issues).

I switched to Unify and have had a great experience. Great visibility into link speed, which device is on which AP, able to SSH into each device and run iperf3, WiFiMan is a great debugging tool (which you don’t need their ecosystem to try), notifies me when the ISP is slow/down. There’s a bewildering array of hardware and it’s not cheap or always in stock, but there are some good guides around.

So, I’d like FOSS to be the right answer, but in this case I’m glad I switched to Unifi.

ETA: https://evanmccann.net/ubiquiti is the most useful guide. And a key aspect is Ubiquiti is the cloud services are an optional aspect, it won’t brick if they go under.

The article doesn’t cover potential impact, just an analogy to a household. Do we expect runaway inflation soon? The national debt had been going up as long as I remember. Was it propped up by international goodwill/trust/fear which we have now burned?

Not the best drivers, but clearly drivers! Cool.

Affected folks probably know, but: near Honolulu, Hawaii.

Leaders said there was a “robust process” to ensure the contracts align with Google’s AI principles.

Ah, I think you’ve identified their “robust process” and what the key “principles” are.

Yeah, got headhunted for 10 replace-doctors-with-AI startup for every 1 ed-tech company that even looked at my resume, and the company I’m at now, though good on paper, is squeezing AI into every nook and cranny as fast as they can while sidelining security concerns.

It seems like the AI never gets tired of writing code

I think that’s a telling observation. The whole reason we have software, and programming languages, is that people get tired.

Necessity has invented generally and reuse to combat repetition. With agents that don’t tire, they don’t gravitate to generally — but their endless repetition does tire their human reverse-centaur bodies dealing with the code review and maintainability they can’t reason about.

“And they have no inductive reasoning capabilities. A model cannot check its own work. It doesn’t know if the answer it gave you is right. Those are foundational problems no one has solved in LLM technology. And you want to tell me that’s not going to manifest in code quality problems? Of course it’s going to manifest.”

If this guy didn’t work at a consulting company I’d send him an application. But maybe if people are paying him to tell them AI is slop, that’s as good as it gets at the moment.

So would I, but I’d like to pay to make it simpler and route more of it to education / universal healthcare.

Also reported by the Texas Tribune . Horrifying. I can’t imagine what it would do to a kid to spend 1st grade in a concentration camp eating moldy food, instead of in a safe loving home getting solid nutrition, I only hope they can recover.

Gofundme preparing to support them on release. Apparently one of the trumped-up reasons for holding them is they don’t have means of support? I didn’t see a more direct way to help get them out.

The hair clips are a nice detail.

I agree, seems more like an insightful reminder about inclusivity, product design, and data analysis; and a window into someone who’s probably incredibly frustrated trying to be positive.

For me, it’s more that it’s a vivid image. I have felt that “immiseration” so it immediately resonates; I don’t need a metaphor. But when people who don’t know technology are gushing about the latest agentic process, I wonder if having a somewhat grotesque, embellished counter will be useful.
