This is such a great name and domain for this purpose.

I don’t think I’d like using a third party server for this, but a skill that just handles it locally or something would be useful.

In my experience this is not representative of most fintechs. Of course there are both cases of real intentional noncompliance, and accidental, but by and large it seems like everyone’s trying to innovate within the law.

I’d love if they supported an SSH certificate CA for commit signing verification though.

This is what confuses me about tech sales too. Why do I always get a discount for buying right at the end of the quarter? Seems like you could just get ahead on the next one.

I’ve listened to a few of these. Agree it’s also really well done.

Oh that’s funny. Yes you’re right.

He has actually mentioned the History of English before, but I’ve never listened to it. Great to hear though!

I think there’s a numbering difference. He went back and re did a bunch of earlier ones.

I’m listening on Apple Podcasts. Season 5 episode 5 “Printin and Perkin” if it helps.

I’m just ahead of you on episode 200! Just getting into the rise of printing in English.

I absolutely agree. This has become my comfort podcast when I just want to decompress.

I’ve been happy with hey.com. No plans on switching.

Fair! I’ve been surprised in some cases. I’m thinking specifically of a handful of conversations I was in or around during the Vegas cons.

I might also be hyper sensitive to the cynicism. It tends to bug me more than it probably should.

I’ve noticed a strong negative streak in the security community around LLMs. Lots of comments about how they’ll just generate more vulnerabilities, “junk code”, etc.

It seems very short sighted.

I think of it more like self driving cars. I expect the error rate to quickly become lower than humans.

Maybe in a couple of years we’ll consider it irresponsible not to write security and safety critical code with frontier LLMs.

I’m not affiliated, but this made me think of this AI for COBOL startup: https://www.cobolcopilot.com/

For some reason I think we’re all drawn to the idea of working with an older language. I wonder why!
