> And I would ensure that Y was a poor solution.

How do you ensure people don't think you're not good at your job, if you continually propose poor solutions? Since you're emailing other teams here, they probably(?) don't get to work with you day-to-day to realize you're doing this on purpose.

Also, what's the point of Y being a poor solution? Even if the other team isn't very responsive, can't you always propose your

> best attempt at solving it

such that even if they don't respond, you can implement a decent solution?

I think it's just to hype Anthropic. Check it out, we have products so dangerous the government banned them, we must be so advanced. (Their competitors cannot make such a claim.)

wrt. the end of the story, it will be interesting to see if people start noticing their Dunning-Kruger bias as a result of LLMs.

Specifically: LLMs make it really easy to misunderestimate the complexity of fields other than your own. (You can see this with a lot of vibecoded projects, for example – once they hit the wall of complexity, they stall out or start finding ugly patches for fundamental design issues, etc.)

I don't think this sort of cultural change will happen short-term, though.

Huh, Canada seems roughly intact (except for BC).

This is an ARM device, so presumably compatibility with third-party software.

Might be interesting to try emailing dang to see if they keep track of this.

This talk – "Programming without pointers" – by Andrew Kelley may be interesting to you.

First transaction would be outside the channel. e.g., scalper may require high-value Venmo or Zelle transaction, then enter buyer ID / name on ticket website at listed limit.

You are falling victim to frequency bias. Popular books are popular – and especially before mass printing technologies, really popular. A lot of people may have tried to write books doesn't mean they're writing books good enough to dedicate an actual person's time towards copying them down.

Also, Juvenal was a poet. He most likely knew other poets, or aspiring poets, or at least people who liked writing. Your average, generally functionally illiterate, individual at the time is not trying their hand at writing books.

Since LLMs are trained on "random people online", why are they not of equal rank?

By your criterion, Google, Apple, and Amazon are terrible names as well.

This is not what Liquid Glass actually looks like on first-party macOS applications. This needs way more blur and opacity to match even the control center widgets.

I think parent means reflective. In the videos it looks like just a slightly different color. On the other MacBooks it is polished metal.

Is there any way to make images accessible other than the alt tag? I'm sure SVGs are more machine-readable, but how would that help vision-impaired folks?

Libraries get rid of books in poor condition and loan books to other libraries, and patrons regularly fail to return books.

I see this as roughly equivalent to amortized big O complexity. If I push to a vector repeatedly, sometimes I will incur a significant cost O(n) of reallocation, but most of the time it's still O(1).

Similarly, if Meta violates the law, and is infrequently fined a small fraction of their revenue by a small number of governments, in general it will not be a big deal for them.

Meta made $60B in Q4 2025. A one-time $1.4B fine, 20 years after enactment, is not "getting hammered".
