Wait, we shouldn’t be basing our investment decisions today on data from the past and projections from people with a vested interest in the stock going up?

Covid drops were a true black swan, 6-10% drops. Justified because we shut down the world. We’re still paying for that… You have the crazy crashes like black monday and a few of the days in 08/09. But the worst times are the repricings where there’s suddenly a realization that we haven’t been paying enough attention to the true value of things, and maybe we should have been doing that. That’s the long multi year stagnating bear markets like 1999-2002. I think probably 50-75% haircut is warranted. That doesn’t mean we won’t rise again, but you also have a lot of money held by boomers who just aren’t going to go back in. This is the start of a long decline that is needed to get things back to a normal tracking of reality. It must happen and it’s actually good for everyone to get a stronger sense of the sacrifices we all have to make to build a functional world. We all have to work hard almost our entire lives. It’s just how it is. Robots are going to help this time for sure, that hard work will reward us and our successor generations with longer, healthier lives. But we still need to work hard.

This for some reason reminds me of OS/400 libraries. Basically on AS/400 everything is an object, libraries are basically like DB tables but are first class OS objects (like files in unix). You might want to read up on it, they took the concept incredibly far and it’s of course still a part of i series to this day. You basically can use SQL right on the command line.

Good reminder to send Rusty Hodge my annual $20

Also, that’s the wrong mental model. Anyone who runs a sass platform or a website knows that the Internet is already full of millions and millions and millions of bots and scripts and other random shit that’s always trying to attack you, often completely randomly. Security is always a battle between good and evil. All I can say is that if you’re in charge of keeping something secure, you should probably try to get your hands on the best tools to do that. I think the problem in this case is that the best tools to do that are also the tools that are making it more easy for evil to occur. So it’s more for me a perception of someone creating a threat and the tool to fix it and then charging for it which doesn’t feel right.

It lowers the economic cost of a given attack, but also lowers the economic cost of protection. Not sure if it’ll be a perfect balance, but right now there’s a manufactured IMbalance due to embargos and winner picking.

oauth, saml, oidc accomplish the same thing in a way more mature way, so if you’re already using SSO just do that instead of adding another point of failure..

BS

The mind-body connection is also real.

You could run 3 times and overlay/average the images to show how consistent they are

Need to just pay all your other vendors through marketplace too!

Opus 4.7 tends to do this overkill stuff regardless of what you’re trying to do

It allows one to conveniently hide your claude expense in your big ass AWS bill.

Great game. You could maybe have it pause the train a variable amount if you get double/triple words or letters or higher than 50 points for a word. Then you get rewarded for better play.

They just want to fire up Colstrip again, 4 huge coal power generation plants that literally print money. If you’re burning shit for AI it’s fine now I guess.
