CFPB once played that role for financial services. Ah well.

If it's not dangerous enough to be classified as WMD by USG, who's interested.

I wonder though if, as long as you have LLMs to maintain the extra code, it's worth it to gain the new feature. Less tech debt than your intuition expects.

I've been wrestling for days with a recalcitrant Opus 4.8 unable to close the circle on an algorithm I'm sure, based on the three previous days' experience, Fable 5 will cut right through.

I hired a programmer and after giving him his Linux laptop let him set up a few things. A couple hours later he asked me where he could get PuTTY for it, and I recognized a huge gap in my interview coverage.

My eyes glaze over reading all the AI produced verbiage.

I did find a few useful parameter settings I've already discovered using my single 3090 and ollama.

I'm just remarking that the LLMs overwhelm me with minutiae, especially as I'm working on code design. I frequently ask it to restate concisely, and that helps.

[edited to mention ollama as a nice alt]

If they found actual life on Mars the NASA budget would multiply many times, so I don't understand your thinking.

Nobody's talking about how "terrorism" has expanded to mean, in law, armed opposition the the government. Throw in terrorism and the sentence goes up dramatically.

Is it possible to oppose the government with arms yet not be a terrorist? I'd say, yes. But I never expect to see a prosecution acknowledge that. They're even making drug smugglers into terrorists and murdering them extrajudicially.

MS has their own profile of Cowork targeted at your users that presumably will be more enterprisey:

As long as the LLM can unravel, repair, and improve the slopware it creates, that's where we are necessarily going. The code will continue to be maintainable, by the LLM. I'm used to this idea and I for one welcome...

Just this morning I tweaked my single 3090 setup too:

  OLLAMA_FLASH_ATTENTION=1
  OLLAMA_KV_CACHE_TYPE=q8_0
  OLLAMA_CONTEXT_LENGTH=180000

and that fits in 23GB.

Coincidentally for the last week or so I've revived my Glycine automatic as my daily wearer and I'm gauging my level of dependence on my Apple watch. So far -- hey, I wasn't all that dependent on it, and I guess, I was feeling a bit too digital. I'm going to keep going for a while this way.

  The assumption is that if you send people checks, they’ll find meaning in hobbies and community. They’ll paint. They’ll garden. They’ll finally write that novel.

The author suggests it will fail because we'll all use drugs and booze and commit suicide. But it works for retired people. They love it.

Is this why we all have to work 9 to 5 drudge jobs? Because we can't handle the freedom?
