Have you ever been to The Mystery Spot[1]? It is a fun tourist trap with all sorts of conundrums like that.

The M2 money supply is ~4x higher now than in 1999. Does that indicate there is a lot more runway now, than then, at least on that metric?

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be pedantic. I was trying to make the point (which I think is in line with your point) that the fact that AI is involved here doesn't make a difference. It is a tool, but the people using the tool are (as always) responsible for the outcome.

But machines don't do things. People do things, and they use tools/machines to do those things more easily or efficiently.

> The tracked set is built from FAA registry data

So I imagine planes in other countries exist, but the US FAA doesn't have data on them.

So, if you see a 5, you are probably fine. If it gets up to 6 or 7, maybe start worrying.

But I bet if you filter for airports that business jets park at, the percentage of airports without towers is much lower than the overall average.

Yeah, they do sat they only want tails from squirrels harvested primarily for food; they don't expect or want people to hunt squirrels just the sell the tails.

I see what you mean, but isn't this an issue with any filesystem backup tool? Or is there something about untracked files in a git workspace that is different, that I'm not seeing?

Sorry, what are you saying shouldn't be done? Backing up untracked/modified files in a bit repo? Or compressing the .git folder and backing it up as a unit?
pkaeding
·3 months ago·discuss
This is a good point, but you might expect them to back up untracked and modified files in the backup, along with everything else on your filesystem.

I thought Wayland was different from X11, and didn't allow this. But I'm far from an expert on this topic so I'd like to learn more.

> permitted a single ECS task role "read access to every secret in the account, including the production Redshift master credential."

...

> noting that the stolen information was old and consisted mostly of non-critical details

So I guess 'mostly' is doing a lot of heavy lifting, and they hadn't rotated the credentials in a long time

Like the headline said, you had to be there...

Of course, nostalgia slop can exist for any period. But it can be interesting to stop and think about how the little details of everyday life have changed over the years.
