That's totally on me. I should have asked you before shutting down the subagents. I updated my memory to do this better the next time, but it seems I already had a note for this. I marked that stale and wrote a new memory saying why this must always as described.

Does this work?

First 10 minutes: Making a team, 2 guys or gals living a life, talk about it

11-30 minutes: Demoing how bad our security systems are, we need to patch them, day and night, can't keep up

31-40: But we need money, no one is paying our bounties

41-50: How about? They do not tell what it is

51-60: We are going to hack StarLink (they never say that, it is just the logo in the background when they are talking how easy it is to get in and out)

61-70: Dry Run, text scrolling on the screens

71-85: The Hack, split screens, zoom in and outs

86-88: Oh it was Solozzo (Binance) all along, not Starlink.

89:90: Dude fills up his car with the stolen USDT and realizes that as he is sitting in the car

I am technically not saying that. I am taking off from the parent comment and speculating.

Their data from September is leaked via IPO preview, and October is not yet complete, so how can someone even project that?

// I am a techie, not a finance guy, so apart from public chatter, no inside knowledge.

And I do feel their IPO is being rushed before anyone has enough information to make up their mind. The VCs or private equity have given them a lot of money and want to cash out. When the revenue does slow down, any investor should pause to take a look at whether they can right the ship, or has the landscape itself changed.

That's why Anthropic are rushing the IPO. You can explain a single quarter slowdown, you can not explain a multi quarter one.

One of them, sure. 8 of them?

But they launch a lot of satellites to build their telecom, no?

I have some sorta skin condition that I can not stand either the heated seats and the heated steering wheel.

But my wife ... in winters, the first thing on entering the car is to activate the heatings seats. Some people like them. And yes I paid for the subscription (or a package that cost me a bunch but gave me everything all inclusive).

Someone's got to get the vulnerabilities patched before AI (sorry, SI) does a coordinated hit job. I like this one at a time thing than a complete dystopia. By next year, half of these will be patched, and people writing more secure software .... sorry one too many jokes :)

And like any complex software, the last 20% takes 80-90% of the time.

I must be one of the few who completed the interview. I was hesitant with some questions but still gave direct feedback and asked to make my feedback public. Not sure if they will do it. And just like LLM does the interview did pick up some nuances from my answer and played them back for me to confirm. "Oh so you are saying not only this but that, is that right?

Whether they use it or not, whether they use it to manipulate us or whatever, it is undeniable that AI is the biggest change happening right now, and if there is an opportunity to nudge it, why not.

Edit. And no, I was not asked to login. They likely had the login. I just clicked the survey link from the terminal claude, it opened in a browser and off to the races.

I did that last week for my son. Had photo from Walgreens though but rest of the process was quite amazing. This was before the announcement and I may have used state.gov or something ... maybe they had this going on for a while.

Still, much better than how it used to be. You could not do expedited processing but I guess it will come eventually.

Also did not need a login at all which seemed surprising and I did check whether I had gone to a phishing site.

Whether it be corporates, Eiffel Tower management, or religious groups, I guess the new norm is - better to ask for forgiveness.

I am Indian origin so full disclosure done. I saw a picture of the group's 93 year old head in ascetic robes, the one who does not see women, have a picture below Eiffel Tower for memories. Sir, what part of asceticism do you teach?

What triggered me to ask was because I can see myself writing that. Not the content but the style. In the old days, I will spend time finessing an argument and feel happy about it. But with the pace nowadays plus the AI, it is a different world, so do not know.

... or frustrated. "I have my quota of jiras to meet, and this person is taking up too much of my time when it was such a simple issue which no one complains about". Not a good customer service mindset, but frustration happens.
