If you can survive the high blood pressure!

I'm not especially a fan of MCP but it also offers: - Standardized input and output schemas for each tool - Standardized annotations that indicate how potentially dangerous each to…

I just saw the new Spider-Man movie and there were a ton of notices about Canada-based film credits and from various provinces, too. I'm not sure how these credits work, but maybe …

> AI can't replace the notoriety part of why studios hire actors. I mean it probably can if a few famous actors license their likeness to be used in AI films. And it's probably onl…

My favorite thing lately is that it's very good at resolving dependency security vulnerabilities. GitHub already does a good job at detecting and notifying which packages are vulne…

That was my first thought. There are clearly things to tighten up (as they note), but anything that would detect someone snooping secrets, files, or network addresses should have c…

I just deleted my sibling comment because I was recommending the same clock. I set it to do its daily WiFi time sync at 4am so that any DST adjustment happens before I wake up. No …

I tried atomic clocks but they wouldn't work unless they were on the southwest corner of the house. It even said in the manual that if it's not working, to try putting it there. Ki…

It's that, but it's also that AI is not visibly providing any tangible benefit for most people. It'd be one thing if you had to tolerate a datacenter at the edge of town, but at le…

Our small team (~6 devs) is still using Claude Code because we're still on the cost-per-seat-month plan. If we were being pressed to pay per token, we'd be re-evaluating for sure.

This stuff happened years ago, right? Something tells me that discussion has already happened, and they went with Google. Besides: Apple is a "real" company that will definitely st…

If matrix multiplication isn't the main primitive, I think we have a lot of pain coming our way.

I thought that a year or two ago. Thankfully I did not. I have no idea how long the music will keep playing.

It's anecdotal but the kind of people I know that bought Mac Minis for this purpose are what I'd call "light techies." They definitely know how to use an iPhone or a Mac but would …

I'm doing both. I've only got so many years remaining and very few of these things "only" work if you've also optimized your diet and exercise. I do acknowledge that diet and exerc…

I take: - Essential Capsules - it's like a multivitamin except with better stuff. I've seen mixed evidence that multivitamins actually provide much benefit if you're already taking…

> But I'd bet that if he hadn't been tracking his labs, he would've lived a pretty normal life. Well I mean we have a control group consisting of just about every other person diag…

I buy a lot of his supplements. They're competitively priced for what they are, and what's in them is based on the studies and science they dig up. Not all of them will be cost-eff…

Do you expect this to result in much substantive change relative to before the ruling was made?

I think ratification by 2/3 of states fairly meets the definition of "difficult to change, but not immutable." That it's been done numerous times in the past suggests it is quite f…

If it were easy to change, there would be no purpose to having a Constitution.

Campaigns already have strong limits. They get around it by giving money to PACs, which can spend money opposing other candidates or talking about issues in particular. Should ther…

Hmm. Dreamweaver must be what the cool kids were using instead of Frontpage.

Because they're reading blog posts and listening to podcasts that increase their expectations of what your output should be.
