Nothing's stopping you from writing.

I work with a guy who spins his own yarn with a spindle. That's just all of us now.

I love my Steamdeck but I've never found the argument for Linux gaming very compelling when it explicitly hinges on running Windows emulator software. It's really just an argument for consoles. PC gaming isn't really a good idea because PCs aren't really a good idea, and with the PCs, the big 3 OSes aren't really a good idea either. Salvage the kernels and build narrow, bespoke things without all the cruft.

I mean you can see its thinking output, that's the internal world right there. We just have a periscope into it.

What an intensely wrong comment. The trajectory of all software is the opposite of what you say. Bash is the entry level, everything flees.

At one point the web was bash scripts glued together. Now everything is brought into a runtime. Then brought into virtualized containers to isolate and hide from every other aspect of the operating system.

Eventually the agents will be on a runtime as well. The existing ones just aren't good enough. Rather than forking like made as a way of doing everything, exfiltration into arbitrary executables will be something more tightly controlled.

Organizations need better in-product control and auditing of the operations of the agent. They need it to work across OSes and not depend on the state of the machine, and not conflict with what else the developer is trying to do with it.

They were about to push a big change to actions pricing a little wihle ago and people revolted

I also noticed Gemini's habit of getting stuck on things I said. It became evident quite quickly. I haven't noticed this in the same way in any other model. Something's wrong with that boy

copium argument

Infantile take. Here's a positive: creates incentive for people who want to compete to actually make something new.

If we could just freely clone generational hit games and make millions off them, only idiots would make new games.

You're not using the good models and then blaming the tool? Just use claude models.

Copilot's main problem seems to be people don't know how to use it. They need to delete all their plugins except the vscode, CLI ones, and disable all models except anthropic ones.

The Claude Code reputation diff is greatly exaggerated beyond that.

Not my experience at all. Copilot launched as a useless code complete, is now basically the same as anything. It's all converging. The features are converging, but the features barely matter anyway when Opus is just doing all the heavy lifting anyway. It just 1-shots half the stuff. Copilot's payment model where you pay by the prompt not by the token is highly abusable, no way this lasts.

Gambling sites probably do have it in their user agreements.

Further, "insider trading" in prediction markets is probably fundamentally illegal under existing commodities fraud laws in the US (I am not a lawyer,) but there's probably nobody actively policing it, and probably no precedent in how to prosecute the cases.

Your own wiki link disagrees with you, most of the article uses landlordism as the base-level example. You've just discovered how "rent seeking" is used as a more broad term to describe many phenomena, but they're still describing them essentially in the metaphor of landlordism.

I think they were referring to the costs of training and hosting the models. You're counting the cost of what you're buying, but the people selling it to you are in the red.

That's literally what he said

In my experience owning private stock, you basically own part of a pool. (Hopefully the exact same classes of shares as the board has or else it's a scam.) The board controls the pool, and whenever they do dividends or transfer ownership, each person's share is affected proportionally. You can petition the board to buy back your shares or transfer them to another shareholder but that's probably unusual for a rank-and-file employee.

The shares are valued by an accounting firm auditor of some type. This determines the basis value if you're paying taxes up-front. After that the tax situation should be the same as getting publicly traded options/shares, there's some choices in how you want to handle the taxes but generally you file a special tax form at the year of grant.
