This is awesome!

Where have I seen that before…

This. Give me cheap tokens that produce accurate information and the deal is done

They released a bunch of apps for creatives last year. That was the signal, no?

I bought a cheapo lifetime pass in the early days of plex. Their business leadership decided to make Plex more like a TV than a personal media server, and the UI / UX changes reflected this.

I got a great deal as an early user, but new users have Good Reasons not to use plex anymore.

What kind of automotive company thinks customers will take them seriously if we can’t see a picture of the whole vehicle and interior on the website?

Dispatch works great, and I have reversed the setup so Claude can ssh-spawn sessions on my homelab for non-Mac dependent work

Uh, do you mean house plants?

There is also a Ted talk about taking this to an extreme, which does seem to anecdotally work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gmn7tjSNyAA&pp=ygURdGVkIGthb...

If you squint just right on that Einstein photo, you get Marylin with a mustache, and it looks quite vaudevillian.

I just set up my pipeline to do this exact thing for both the Apple and Android ecosystems, dispatching loads to my mac studio or Linux box accordingly. I moved the runners off GitHub because uptime for GitHub actions has been trash lately, and the Apple Silicon runners are pricey.

Claude was great at figuring out what was broken when and either fixing it, or clicking as far as it could until it needed me.

You could say I'm mostly just IRL hands for the AI now.

There is a reason why VMs even are a thing at all: they can offer better security guarantees than alternatives.

A separate user is a good start but LLM tests themselves show they can cleverly bypass guardrails if they figure out they are in a sandboxed environment of some kind, right?

So, I read those test results as: an LLM is less likely to do something crazy if it thinks it has the whole environment to itself.

Honeybees are not native to North America.

It is great and currently necessary we use them the way we do. It makes one wonder in the age of AI and evolving farm practices, can we start finding ways to cultivate already-climate-adapted native bees to do the work? Can we leverage adaptations for specific crops?

I get it that honeybees work great at pollinating monoculture fields, etc., but that does not change the fact we are perpetuating a square peg in round hole problem and pushing it very very far right now, at greater and greater cost, all while climate change is fighting us.

Jeez it's on the Wikipedia page, not sure why you wouldn't consider these things "direct involvement":

- NASA Skylancer built to validate wing design and improve landings.

- NASA simulations at Ames that predicted ground effect pitch issues that was incorporated into pilot training.

I think that’s the point of their niche right? They are already plenty reliable. Also let’s them do stuff like this:

The US was still very much involved in its development and testing, so I think we can still chalk it up as a win for multi-country collaboration, eh :3

What lead you to believe this? Got a link from a reputable source?

Not worth the capex to do that. Air cooling with evaporators up front is pretty standard and works great, not to mention fewer moving parts.

Dumb question: why would I use this instead of airflow with some custom built agent bits?

lmao this is a terrible take. Google is the only company with AI deployed in every market where AI can exist, and _all_ of their products in those segments gush money.

The irony here is meta won’t verify my business nor will the meta AI helper do nefarious things by design but this exploit was just hanging out.

Grizzly Man was the first Herzog documentary I saw and this scene is exactly what you’re talking about and something I still think about when I am with people willing to share the things they alone carry in life: https://youtu.be/hXyQAtXJ4II

This is a blastocyst, then back to earth experiment. No organ development?

Yes, we don't experiment on humans in space right now, so there is no evidence, sure. My (limited) understanding leads me to this conclusion for (I think) two _very good_ reasons:

1. The twisting and folding of the heart tube is highly dependent on gravity and micro-pressures of circulating blood in the embryo. I learned that from Dr. Larry Taber at Wash U in St. Louis. In microgravity, there's a very strong chance the heart forms incorrectly or if it does form correctly, it conditions itself for zero-g life, so it will have reduced pumping strength because it never needs to move blood from toe to head against gravity. So, even if you gestate a kid correctly in microgravity, the transition to an environment _with_ gravity could be extremely stressful on the body or possibly fatal.

2. Other phases of gestation _depend_ on gravity. The "baby dropping" around the beginning of third trimester is important to kick start the body to prepare for birth. The baby presses on the cervix to stimulate dilation during the process of birth, etc.

It seems pretty cut and dry to me: Boomers I know today still rave about Regan-era policies and how good they were for everyone, although I'm not sure what "everyone" they are referring to in that sentence. Regan-era deregulation, cutting of social spending, and favoring asset-based versus wage based economic growth certainly laid the groundwork for where we are with today's K-shaped economy.

Moon more likely than mars, but “permanent” is a big lift in that sentence.

Humans gestate at 1g and only 1g. Try doing it elsewhere and you’ll have horrible problems.

Try the Jira MCP server.

I am _fighting_ with elderly relatives to adjust their YouTube habits. They didn't even know it comes on autopilot by default. They don't even check sources, they just let the garbage in.

Sendgrid is such an enshittified product, I am grateful this now exists and integrates directly with tools I have on cloudflare already.

I can see many cases where installing an IoT camera will be more reliable and less costly than, "shut down equipment to unplug this analog instrument, hook up a digital one, calibrate it, then restart the equipment".

If it ain't broke don't fix it — pointing a cheap camera at it with some cloud compute will suffice.

I think you meant to reply this elsewhere? My comment was in response to the apparent social willingness to accept violence towards oligarchical behavior.
