We would be much more secure if we didn't have those pesky users.

> using up more compute, time and context

LLM compute is getting cheaper, so one can re-run the coding agent until it produces the desired result.

> without adding value compared to a more thoughtful, efficient implementation

Thoughtful implementations require thoughtful developers, and thoughtful developers cost more money that dumb GPUs.

Not sure how APIKulture, a REST API testing GUI, is in any way an alternative for Electron, which is framework for building cross-platform GUI apps. Care to explain your thought process?

> Technical details aside, this volume is ridiculous. How on earth do they see this kind of "growth" as an asset and not a liability?

That coding volume is a liability only for human engineers, with their limited memory, short attention span, tiredness, and quirky coding preferences. LLMs don't have any of those problems.

How did the pandemic response affect informed consent in the IPO market?

Exactly. If I need a new supplier for my business, why would I ask around, listen to pitches, negotiate, sign contracts, monitor quality, etc.? I should be able to ask one of my AI agents to do all of that. And when the new supplier does not work out, I re-prompt my agent.

> I think I could be ok with it, as long as I can query it. Preferable if I have a way to directly interact with it that isn't just moving things around;

`CD` without any arguments will display the current directory on the current drive.

`CD E:` will display the current directory on the `E:` drive.

No state chnages for either case.

> My layman reading of the names: there is one Terra, one Luna and one Sol => "Astra" is singular.

That is incorrect. "Astra" is Latin for "stars" (plural). The singular would be "astrum".

The argument works with any service business that is shared by high income and low income earners: restaurants, transportation, clothing, housing, groceries, etc.

> Of course you are carrying some intermediary risk but that's also inherent with stock brokers as well.

Stock broker customers have SIPC to reduce risk. Is there an equivalent entity for the crypto token space?

I am not going to censor myself because at some future time, in some datacenter, an AI is going to misinterpret my comment.

Maybe Anthropic should invest in nukes, to avoid Ukraine's fate.

Maybe they are passionate about themselves??

That's just the braindeqd design of DNS, responding to arbitrary UDP packets without authenticating the IP address of the sender.

Assuming you have this finger app installed. My Android store does not seem to have one, for example.

My main email is not GMail, but I forward it to a GMail account to get free spam filtering, free backup, and free search. I encourage everyone to do the same.

Giving up (aka cynicism) is easy.

The only option is to invest in robots with machine guns, to provide security services to the ultrarich.

"It's for security, honey."

If your phone does not have any important or sensitive on it, why even secure it?

Exactly. Digital IP can be transferred infinitely and cheaply (by copying it) without loss of use. Physical items cannot (yet!?) be transferred infinitely and cheaply without loss of use. Once the item is transferred, the previous holder of the physical item loses use of it.

The announcement claims a "privacy-preserving [...] payment system". Are you saying this would come in conflict with German law?

I haven't looked at Taler in a while. What capabilities do they have to transfer money around without being surveilled? Also are transactions final and irreversible?

> But still, if someone posts a copy of your book or painting online, you can pretty cheaply file a DMCA request that it be taken down, and most large players will comply. If you throw out copyright law altogether, you get rid of that too.

Good, get rid of copyright law! It has only lead to pure rent seeking.

> These corporations are rent seeking monopolists. Like many Japanese companies, Sony is an intellectual property absolutist.

The whole intellectual property space is pure rent seeking. Everybody wants name recognition and/or money whenever some text, code, image, or video they produced is used or remixed. It is pure rent seeking, from FSF to Sony to Metallica.

> I think, usually, in those cases it's that people believe the company did not really do anywhere near everything it could - it did the bare minimum it thought it could get away with then seemed shocked it wasn't enough to matter.

Yes, and Quad9 could have done better in the German court case. At a minimum they could have asked users to register and provide proof of residency, and then could have ensured that their DNS service is offered only to registered users.

This could easily be developed into a resort. Instead the state is getting its grubby hands on it and will probably leave it as an unimproved dirt hole.

Maybe programmers should not create so much buggy software. Did you try that?

Philip Morris stock is up 100% over the last 5 years. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PM/

Not bad for tobacco company that everybody presumably shuns.
