8.1 was a liiiiitle better but that's not saying much.

It's likely not politically feasible for a genuine attempt at right-sizing our budget, although we have had attempts (short-lived) in the past. Blaming a political party for this i…

Microsoft's security suite has been available for Linux for a long time, so I would imagine they have a tremendous amount of data. Sentinel connectors have been available for Cisc-…

Not bad, just a lawnmower.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. And if someone sent me a bill for 17 billion I would just tell them I don't have it and never will, sorry.

It's a great movie! One of the best attempts at capturing a Lovecraftian vibe, maybe only bested by The Thing or his excellent Event Horizon.

Assuming we eek thru a whirlwind of catastrophic dangers, one day we will look at this period of time with the same reaction as if we had been sprinkling lead on our cereal.

It's bad on social media, especially Tik Tok. I don't use it often, but when I do I bet I get 3 Kalshi ads every 10 minutes easy.

Yeah I saw that, looks like this is a new laptop class, perhaps an AI-infused evolution of the Chromebook Plus spec: https://www.google.com/chromebook/chromebookplus/

I thought that too, but it looks like this isn't a laptop but a new laptop class , and Lenovo, Dell and HP will all be producing Googlebooks. This does not appear to be a first-par…

I wanted to like the Pixelbook, but it had a lot of limitations, ChromeOS being the major one. I recall that people were able to run Linux on them, but no idea what that experience…

Not sure if it matters that they compete with Apple blow-for-blow, it's probably just the threat of existential risk if they don't own any platform. They want to make sure they don…

If it's an offsite backup, you would deal with it like you would any DR site-- either plan for yet another backup, or presume that it's unlikely that both the primary and replica w…

IBM sells hyperconverged AIO OpenShift on Dell & Lenovo hardware now: https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/fusion-hci-systems/2.12.x?topic=...

I think you mean 5 trillion?

"My father died from cancer, and this is what it taught me about B2B SaaS sales..."

We had a great candidate for a job decline to relocate to the US for precisely this reason. I really do not blame anyone for making that decision

Are you being cheeky or do you really drag a monitor outside?

I don't have the data to demonstrate that this is incorrect, and that's because we lack a fundamental model of how brains operate. Brains probably compute under an expansive defini…

I disagree a bit. Coding can remain an artistic passion for you indefinitely, it's just your ability to demand that everyone crafts each line of code artisinally won't be subsidize…

Interesting article! I think I get what the concern is, but I think your view of human cognition is going to heavily color what you think the limitations of an LLM are. For example…

why does it have to connect to prod in order to be useful?

I can't really imagine any statement they could give that would ease concerns that at some point in time they change their mind. But for now, it is a relief to read, even if this i…

Interesting, I had never even heard of this laptop! Thanks for the tip!

Do they still use a paddle trackpad? Framework seems like its nearly perfect for me, even if I would miss Apple's displays on the MBP.
