An old story. I used to work for Fox Home Entertainment (CDs etc)this is 20+ years ago. And we had proper DOS running on old machines. We used it to do all our finances (including all of Japan, Asia sales). Most of the money we made on movies like Titanic were tracked on DOS. Until about 2003 if memory serves me where we moved to SAP. Why this was worrisome was how easily fraud occurred. In my tenure there $5-10M was stolen. At the time sent to companies in Brazil. I'm still surprised by larger firms where they keep these things alive to retain the data. CocaCola did it. A few large Insurance firms too. Crazy.

Flock did not put the woman in jail. The police and DA put her in Jail. This is not a failure of the technology (do they have confidence levels?). This is a failure of how police are outsourcing their reasoning and decision making to an AI camera service that seems to fail at the tail.

vibe code the same app and send them a link to it. Raise money to buy them out and make them work for you. Anything is possible in the AI world

I think this is fine if you are not a citizen. But if you are, no way. We do not owe any non-citizen privacy if they want to visit America.

coding is not understanding, nor is it architecture. And debt is always there. No matter who writes it. But I think it can be better.

only one way to do that. Opensource self hosting. We get about 1 billion tokens (up and down) for $3000~ including server costs. Great for long running agents. I even point claudecode to it and it works fine. Near fable levels in some cases.

By that, they mean they don't want Palantir to see what is going on in those systems. Palantir has an unmodifiable blockchain to track all additions, changes and modifications, and deletions and by whom. No way to cheat. In many ways, Palantir is so much safer than any other system. But my guess is there are things they don't want the Trump DSI/NSA/CIA/Military Intelligence to see.

Governemnt money should be approved by elected politicians or the President's electives. Until now the approach has led to abuse in many ways. Especially gatekeeping by professors on new ideas. Cold fusion comes to mind. Probably put behind by 40 years. I do not mind this new strategy by the President at all.

That post was disgusting. He shouldn't find a job anytime soon. But being fired for speech is wrong. So from that point, he deserves the settlement. But I certainly don't want to be near someone that revels in someone's assassination.

They are cheating. 100%. I want a full audit.

Good luck on that one. God often requires us to go to war in the bible. Once he even asked for the total destruction of a whole culture. Man, woman and child. Divine justification is perfectly fine. Much like some wars we consider just (WWI, WWII, and hundred others). War is bad the weak always say. Yet anyone that studies it knows it is often needed, is often leveraged to achieve other goals unachievable without it, and sometimes it is justified, and sometimes it is divine. We will see other wars soon spurned and and supported by God. The Pope can not stop God. Maybe not even interpret him.
