No doubt the headline's claim is true, but Claude just wrote a working MCP serving up the last 10 years of my employer's work product. For $13 in api credits. While technically cap…

It is too bad Erik Naggum did not live to see the AI era.

I think the responses to your comment show the whirlwind of 'wtf?' confronting any programmer contemplating front end development for the first time. What you wrote is probably tru…

1- It's PERA that changes the alice/mayo test. PREVAIL is the old STRONGER Patents act that is introduced every Congress. 2- Yeah, the one 'reasonable' complaint of IPR critics is …

some large contracting firms will do corp-to-corp, but most of the clients still want a firewall between them and your alleged IC classification.

The rule does not implement the ABC test from California. Indeed, the DOL has gone on at length about why it believes it cannot do that. Unlike the Cal Supreme Court decision in Dy…

Have to see the final text, of course, but open source models apparently got some breaks in the final agreement last Friday.

Unfortunately rational narrow bills that benefit ordinary citizens rarely make it out of committee. But it _is_ nice to see the effort.

I hear you, and have been in similar situations with an extra zero on the figure. At the end of the day, the value wasn't in the memo itself but rather in making the person who ask…

Biden's EO on cyber [0] mandates the agencies move to multifactor auth and zero trust architecture. Requirements on agencies flow through to their contractors, and eventually to th…

The target for the communication is investors. I read it to say "Price in the costs for a garden variety data breach, but not a CPRA-specific class action."

I did this for a career change, and it was worth it, but the adjustment period was extremely long (4-6x). Financially it was okay (still painful; 20% cut + move to vhcol area), but…

Usenet is definitely the answer. Old school but it works and its inaccessibility relative to torrents keeps it out of "easy-ish target" territory for IP enforcers.

Thank you for your comments. I don't interact with "not of the world" folks much but am always glad when it happens.

I'm 10 years sober. That sick and tired feeling is your body trying to repair itself. It will go faster if you quit entirely. There's a lot of good writing on the process, there's …

Like other posters, I think there are other things going on here. Good on you for doing the work in therapy. Fix (or make serious progress on) those things before bringing a child …

Thank you so much for JQ. It has been my secret weapon in more than one instance.

Have similar feelings about docker. LXD containers through a bridged interface fit my mental model/use case.

I don't think the US needs a CBDC. Availability at the retail level will suck deposits out of the commercial banking system. The Fed has some FOMO but I anticipate any CBDC to be m…

Tech policy, former regulator, can code in anger Location: DC Remote: Open to it Willing to relocate: no Technologies: CL, Python, Postgresql (all somewhat stale) Resume: Forward-l…

Nah. Biglaw associates start @ 215k [0]. A crushing life though, according to most of my acquaintances in the field. [0] https://www.biglawinvestor.com/biglaw-salary-scale/

I have been happy with the OKI 332 w/ a duplexer. Plugs into ethernet, if all else fails you can drop a file to the printer with your browser.
