I wonder if health insurance companies won't use the data they collect and decide that if you don't get vaccinated, your premiums go way up, kind of like for smokers.

Only when Obama did them.

It's good that Grassley has found something fun and interesting to do in retirement. So much of our elderly population wastes away watching reruns and eating at Golden Corral.

Why run in the browser? If you're converting a bank statement to CSV, you want to do something with the data, keep it around for trends, categorize it, something.

We're not supposed to use federal dollars some way, but Trump gets to monetize the entire presidency. Corruption has costs beyond the simple monetary, and ignoring bans that aren't…

Maybe they don't believe in "trickle-down economics", they same way the do believe that "CRT and DEI are bad". They certainly believe that lowering tax rates raises revenue collect…

Reads like one of those "punchy" LinkedIn posts, it's got one line per paragraph, and lots of "it's not this, it's that" styling. It made my spider-sense tingle.

Coming from texting is a good thought, but I assumed it came from LLMs "ingesting" all those rah-rah LinkedInfluencer grindset articles. Every time I read something with the single…

I think that asymmetry is why scraping keeps getting worse. The scrapers' costs fell faster than everyone's defenses improved. There it is. Just like the fckn spammers who ruined S…

Delete the throat-clearing opener. This post has one. There's also a few "it's not this, it's that", albeit a little differently phrased. Lots of LLM in this one His aircraft manua…

This assumes that LLMs can do those things. Given day to day experience with "chat bots", they can't. The LLM eii be circular do nothing of value then route your call to a number w…

This is just an attempt to pin the blame for Trump's terrible handling of the pandemic on Fauci. I blame NYT for playing into Republican's hand on this one. I also can't figure out…

Makes sense. Warsh almost certainly owes Trump something in exchange for the appointment.

The amount of effort crypto people put into circumventing know your customer reflects very badly on their ultimate motivations. In the real world, we're often told that if you're n…

Did it tell them what they are maximized for?

What a magnificent post! A metaphor mix for the ages - football, sailing, math, economics, physics - plus trader slang and Linkinfluencer styling. Do people read this every day and…

What's the consensus on this? I feel like the packaging and heat dissipation issues need some work. Its much harder to fly electronics on a big noisy rocket than most people think

Why are we so eager to stigmatize determining whether some work is "AI" or not? That is, we're quick to say "I'm tired of people calling something AI slop", we're quick to decry pe…

We won't try that until people who remember and are still angry about The Hostage Crisis (1979-80) die off, or at least aren't in positions of influence.

I do not, especially after their ongoing easy treatment of Trump relative to how reporting of Biden and Clinton was framed. I try not to give them clicks or as views either

Ad blocking is personal infosec.

Why source this from The Telegraph, which is a prominent UK paper? Hasn't this been reported by our home grown media? Why rely on foreign reporting, which may have anti-Trump biase…

I'm not sure "windowslatest.com" is an objective, authoritative source for this.

I heard there was some inside joke on the "IX" suffix of UNIX as a Roman numeral, and the 9 in Plan 9.

But I don't enjoy reviewing AI-generated PRs. Poring over hundreds of lines of overly-defensive, badly-commented, subtly incorrect code is not fun. Ain't that the truth. There's no…
