Yeah I don’t wait for it either but it does cause me click the play button a few times and watch the throbber spin for a second before I do.

That was always the plan. They were just slow walking it.

I have noticed lately that in FF with ublock the videos have refused to play for an ad like length of time. Probably ab testing something.

Are these actually meaningful availability zones?

They should hit us-east.

I mean with proper regulation or would be slightly better. If they can maneuver to avoid collisions they can likes deorbit themselves at a quicker pace.

The main issue is if ever they went under someone would buy it, or try to buy it, at a discount. So they likely wouldn’t go away even if Star link went under.

Sure, I’m not telling you how it should be, I’m telling you how it is.

The LLM just increases the damage done because it can do more damage faster before someone figures out they fucked up.

This is the last big one I remembered offhand but I know it happens a couple times a year and probably more just goes unreported.

Why would an intern be given prod supply chain credentials, who knows. People fuck up all the time.

They shouldn’t and we know that but this is hardly the first time that story has been told even before LLMs. Usually it was blamed on “the intern” or whatever.

Are you in the US? My take away here is American healthcare is bad but we’re treating the symptom not the disease.

If you’ve ever used it you can see how easily it can happen.

At first you Sandbox box it and you’re careful. Then after a while the sand box is a bit of a pain so you just run it as is. Then it asks for permission a 1000 times to do something and at first you carefully check each command but after a while you just skim them and eventually, sure you can run ‘psql *’ to debug some query on the dev instance…

It’s one of the major problems with the “full self driving” stuff as well. It’s right often enough that eventually you get complacent or your attention drifts elsewhere.

This kind of stuff happened before the LLM coding agents existed, they have just supercharged the speed and as a result increased the amount of damage that can be done before it’s noticed.

There are already a bunch of failures in place for something like this to happen. Having the prod credentials available etc etc it’s just now instead of rolling the dice every couple weeks your LLM is rolling them every 20s.

Which of why they are all Trump’s friend. They are the friend of who ever is in power and doesn’t get in the way (or helps) make the stock price larger.

If Trump disappeared tomorrow and was replaced with a progressive they would change their tune immediately.

Corporations don’t have morals and have no qualms about being hypocritical. If they are publically traded the only language they speak is “stock go up” and “stock go down”.

I would be curious to see how often people actually upgrade their frameworks.

I agree with their repair stance. It just feels like one of those things people will tell you they want and then never do.

Still maybe the explosion in memory prices will change the incentives and people will start holding things longer. It will be interesting to see.

A think pad t series is not really much harder to take apart than a framework. Just more screws and fewer magnets. The screen is probably an exception however.

The appeal of Amazon is the things that surround the store.

When I buy from a random website it often takes weeks to ship, costs more to ship, makes me deal with CC fraud if something is untoward, fights me on returns and I usually have to pay to ship back etc etc.

Amazon is bad for a number of reasons but the main driver for me is not the choice of things on there, it’s everything else.

Every time I hear that I always say the same thing.

It isn’t enough that you have nothing to hide.

All that’s required is that the general public think they have access to information that someone might want to hide.

Once the public thinks that data can exist or is accessible all that’s required is for them to lie or fabricate the required data.

“It would be very unfortunate if there was questionable content ‘found’ on your phone”

No, there are a bunch of things required to be met in the US for libel and a bunch of precedent which is why it’s hard to sue for it and succeed

As much as I would like to see that happen paying to fight a court case against Conde Nast just to get a retraction that they will stick somewhere invisible doesn’t really sound like a winning formula.

Sue them for what? He would have to prove damages and they took it down.

You’ve brought 2010 ad blocking techniques to 2026.

The ads now a days are less in your face and way more pervasive.

They are in the articles you read with a tiny “sponsored content” under the by line(if there even is one)

They are recommendation from a friend who themselves got the information from some small time influencer or podcast they follow.

They are the AI comments here and elsewhere that might not stick a product in your face but make sure it’s always in the conversation.

The list goes on and on and sucks.

This happens every time there is blow back on something like this.

They will reverse course and slow walk it a bit every 3 or 4 months and we will be back here in a years time.

Someone’s bonus depends on this deal at Amazon, they are still going into work tomorrow and they still want that bonus.

I should not have even gotten the 128.

I can use it but barely at 4600 because ryzen chips can’t handle 4 dimms of 32gvb.

I honestly didn’t even bother to check at the time of purchase and it is is still a roll of the dice if I restart.
