Unlike the CIA and/or FBI being in charge of preventing attacks like 9/11, NSA and DHS aren't in charge of each state's or city's infrastructure. They could run some opt-in program…

There must be agents already ordering Doordash meals or Uber rides.

I'm curious from the other direction; where do you see overlap between k8s and what's described on the Superlogical website?

Because at some point their emails about the firing will be subpoenaed, and if they lie about it now it's going to bite them harder later.

I don't think it's really that new, legally. Cows, dogs, and whatever have been escaping from people's land and damaging their neighbor's land for thousands of years. Cases like th…

I also thought that was weird. Then I learned it gets better. If you click through to the BBC article that was apparently their main source, the quote is this: > Alternatively, as …

OK but, Postgres is not one of those clunky "we have to replace this" systems.

Except, a gallon is a gallon no matter which gas station I'm at. Also I know my car's gas mileage, and it doesn't change when I visit a Shell station instead of a Chevron. The comp…

Sometimes they are. The US Earned Income Tax Credit being probably the biggest example. https://taxfoundation.org/research/all/federal/earned-income...

It's not that bizarre. Not everyone is trying to optimize for maximum profit. Some creators or companies want to build a community by increasing the consumer surplus received by th…

"SUV" is too broad a category. A RAV4 is an SUV. It's similarly sized to most of the SUVs I've seen in Europe. And a pedestrian getting hit by one would have a similar experience t…

I agree with the "steal an ancient roman baby" premise. The "roman citizen" example is not as strong. Cognitive ability is not just genetics. The grown-up roman would be missing a …

People eating lead in their food don't know it's there. People engaging with the AI built into Google results pages can see it, and assumedly Google's A/B testing showed that they …

Good piece, but I think there's a missing angle to it. He cites a study showing how often people say they "use AI", and a little over 50% use it less than once per week. If we're j…

If you've ever watched an episode of "How It's Made" and seen how incredibly customized these machines are, it won't be surprising that the people who build them are proud of their…

Slightly agree. :) I don't think handmade shoes are the right comparison, unless you're talking about software that's meant to be used by just one person. The more apt comparison m…

They tended to be solo productions, or sponsored by aristocratic patrons. Anyone suggesting that we could create movies, TV, music, or games on the scale we do today, without copyr…

The Claude Code client source was never their moat. There are plenty of other companies with equivalent tools (gemini cli, cursor cli, augment, codex, etc.) The models that it talk…

"frontier level" is doing a lot of work there, but the idea would be to only feed it earlier sources. There are people working on this. e.g. https://github.com/haykgrigo3/TimeCapsu…

You're saying no one capitalizes software development costs anymore? The rest of the internet disagrees strongly. The finance team at my employer would disagree strongly. Accountan…

There are licensing laws already protecting the lawyers whose names appear on motions and briefs, but not much protection for the junior lawyers who will be impacted most. Big law,…

> You’re literally describing all companies. No, not quite. It really comes down to opex vs capex and the depreciation schedule for your investment. Software development is typical…

Macs are very popular in schools today for teachers and staff. Switching to Macbook Neos for students would actually simplify their support burden. I'm not sure they'd be cost just…

Guidelines on their own probably won't be taken too seriously. But other things will: - Liability rules - Regulations that you get audited on (esp. for companies already heavily re…
