I like to use SWE-1.6 for quick help with git. For instance:
review the top stash and tell me what's in it (grouped appropriately)
1.6 does this fine nearly instantly.
1.7 tried for 17s before I killed it
"Total fiscal Q3 revenue was $41.5 billion, up 74% sequentially and up 346% year over year, representing our fifth consecutive quarterly revenue record. The $17.6 billion sequential increase is the largest in our history, eclipsing last quarter’s $10.2 billion record."

Having never really looked at valuations, my ignorant mind can get from Starlink's 10M subscribers to a $380B valuation. If you make $100/mo/user that's 12B/yr and that with a higher 50x P/E ratio is 60B. If you go to 100x, that's $120B.

Make that two people. I much prefer to slap the rare check on the scanner than fiddle with the phone. My banks "scan the check" part of the app was buggy for a long time, so maybe that jaded me. (~"move closer", ~"move away", ~"increase lighting"...)
I found many points interesting. Here's one:
Policymakers supposedly work for us/the people and they could have made surveillance ad tech expensive and thereby severely limited it, but
"Policymakers failed us because cops and spies hate privacy laws and lobby like hell against them. Cops and spies love commercial surveillance, because the private sector's massive surveillance dossiers are an off-the-books trove of warrantless surveillance data that the government can't legally collect."
What this means for you: Helicone's services will remain live for the foreseeable future in maintenance mode. This means security updates, new models, bug & performance fixes all keep shipping.
Hmm
Try searching for "glasses" and you get a page full of blocks?
Hello fello Technology Connections watcher?
who voted Trump because they believed Harris was not tough enough
No, they voted for Trump because he was their guy then later made up a rational justification. We know that people generally do NOT make decisions by rationally evaluating things, their subconscious makes a decision and their conscious makes plausible rational arguments. (Yes, citation needed.)
It's one handed? The hand with the ring is the same hand that uses the thumb to hit the button?

$30K NOT counting some expenses (cardiologist, ER docs)???
Bills were a few thousand here for the cardiologist, another few there for the ER docs, a bit for the radiologist. I helped my sister-in-law negotiate these down but they weren’t back breakers. Then the hospital bill came: $195k. This is a story about that.
"Community banks mostly don’t have programmers on staff, and are reliant on the so-called “core processors” ...
This is the largest reason why in-place upgrades to the U.S. financial system are slow. Coordinating the Faster ACH rollout took years, and the community bank lobby was loudly in favor of delaying it, to avoid disadvantaging themselves competitively versus banks with more capability to write software (and otherwise adapt operationally to the challenges same-day ACH posed)."

Can someone ELI5?
Reuters reported on March 12th that "Abu Dhabi-backed investment group MGX has made a $2 billion cryptocurrency investment in Binance, the companies said on Wednesday" and "It will see MGX become a minority shareholder after making the investment in stablecoin"
Why does it matter that the investment was made in crypto/stablecoin? (Pretend the stablecoin wasn't Trump affiliated. What purpose would this serve?)
Again, no. Not all TS material is SCI. You only need a SCIF for SCI.
"SCIFs are often employed for processing things that are only marked Secret or systems only handling Secret"
No. SCIFs are expensive. They are not built when they are not needed. They are only needed for SCI materials.
"classified information is ONLY supposed to viewed in a SCIF"
No.
No, no, no.
Most classified information is NOT designated SCI. When classified info was mostly paper, it was placed in GSA approved safes in regular 'ole office buildings. You'd get to work, open your safe, and do your work. Most SIPRNet computers are not in SCIFs.
Heck, you can even mail classified documents via USPS. Confidential and secret documents can be sent registered mail.
"authoritative interpretations of law FOR THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH." Suppose the National Security Agency comes up with a new tactic or operation and they want to know if it's legal. My guess is that previous to this EO, worker bees helped the NSA general counsel make a decision brief for the head of the NSA who then made the final legal/illegal decision. This memo means the AG or POTUS are now the decision makers. That's my reading of the memo anyway.
Nope. The article is much more like "if you drop parking lot requirements, you need to demand price parking so there are always a couple of spots available, drivers have incentives to leave, etc."
That's not the law that passed. The law that passed is https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/815 (lengthy law -- see DIVISION H—PROTECTING AMERICANS FROM FOREIGN ADVERSARY CONTROLLED APPLICATIONS ACT), page 62 in the PDF.
Also, both the House and the Senate have pending legislation to extend the deadline.
