That sounds a lot harder to do then putting a number on a page.

What would they do with my bank account and routing number?

Not going to college was probably one of the better decisions I made. I chose to join the US Navy instead as a submariner (nuclear). Rather than signing up for 100k student debt, I was signing a 100k enlistment bonus. I was able to purchase my first house at 22. I was then immediately picked up by Google once my enlistment expired.

Obviously everyone's situation will be different. But now having been in the software engineering realm for many years, the level of maturity and execution I see in college graduates is deeply concerning. I generally outperform not necessarily because I'm smarter, but mostly because I just have strong discipline, communication, and conflict resolution skills gained from years in the military.

I would imagine that AI completely wrecking the consumer PC market is finally starting to show in real world value. I think it outpaced whatever other profits Intel was predicting to make.

I was shocked this wasn't flagged into oblivion. NYPost is notoriously wrongspeak.

I have to agree. I've been using it for a few days now after coming from GrokBot, then Muse, then Dots. None really clicked for me within the first day. Duet seems different. I haven't quite pegged it, but off the top of my hand:

1. Yes, channels really are useful

2. It does seem to be using Opus 5.5 behind the scenes because, shockingly, it's not screwing everything up like the others usually did

3. Agree that the answers are short and to the point. If you want more info, you just pop open whatever task (separate from channels) it started and you can see what it's doing.

Seems like more time in the oven might have paid off here.

Also, to be clear, this is purely used as a personal assistant by me. I still use omp+Paseo for all of my day to day work. I find the separation of concerns kind of nice.

Still remember being a small kid running around the house as my dad had TNG playing on the TV. Patrick was pretty formative in the early years for me.

I also really liked him in a Christmas Carrol (1999). I thought he played the role really well.

I was just watching a video the other day of ICE protestors blocking NYC bridge traffic. Tons of people coming out of their vehicles pleading with them to move so they could get to their job, drop their kid off, deliver a DoorDash order, etc.

I'm all for fighting against your enemies, even if I don't see it exactly the same way. But when I see stuff like that, it just seems totally disconnected from doing anything meaningful towards their enemies (besides making more of them, I guess).

I mean I don't know what else that sentence means. Are you confused?

I mean Republicans have done tons of corrupt things. Not really open to debate for me. It's just they always sit on the top page of HN for a day if not more then a day due to hundreds of upvotes. But then a bombshell report like this comes out and its all crickets.

It doesn't help it's the NYT, so the usual crowd that just denounces things on the basis of the publisher doesn't have any ammunition.
