> suddenly stop working

I think we might already be there with security. Exploits, hack attempts are up and likely continue to stay high. Traditional development process could work but it’s probably more engineers than management wants to spend on a cost center.

Relatedly, as my kids near computer age, we’ve been thinking about bringing back the “computer room:” iPad or laptop mounted to the wall or a desk.

This is just cringeworthy, even for Tobi.

Since Sol 6.1 came out, I have come nowhere close to my daily token budget. Previously, it was basically every day.

OOC did you have this list prepared? You posted it very quickly as a response

Maybe it’s their day job… they seem to be the kind of commenter that doesn’t have any interest outside of LLMs.

Like I said, brigading botlike behavior.

Folks certainly have their preferences, but I think most consider each company's roughly equivalent models to be of the same quality.

Great reason to use privacy.com virtual cards wherever possible and online

This is good advice for anyone who lives in the USA, but there are hardly any adequate alternatives for the rest of the world, as far as I know.

Maybe start with your bank?

My local (Central European) bank offered virtual cards service yesterday to which I declined setting them up on site, will strongly reconsider now, thanks!

My bank is the opposite of yours. They used to offer a similar service but shuttered it a few years ago. A shame.

>My bank is the opposite of yours. They used to offer a similar service but shuttered it a few years ago.

Maybe a good time to call up the bank (or other banks) and ask them if they provide this or any other service that would prevent you from needing to cancel physical cards in case of these ever-increasing security incidents?

Late edit: just checked it out and the virtual cards can be ordered via the banking app, either permanent virtual or one-time use where the card auto-expires after the purchase has gone through. That's really neat! (Not gloating but sharing what I've learned, hope you can find similar security in your bank offerings).

I did some research and corroborated with Claude. No banks in my country offer anything akin to Privacy.com. There are a few "virtual card" services but they have limits that make them virtually unusable.

I doubt I'll have any influence on the products any one bank in my country offers, but it doesn't hurt to ask.

yea, until privacy.com gets hacked

What would they do with my bank account and routing number?

> What would they do with my bank account and routing number?

Use it for money laundering and fraud.

The numbers that are on every check I’ve ever written? I presume that info is public knowledge, and that if there’s any fraud, my bank will reverse it.

That sounds a lot harder to do then putting a number on a page.

Tiniest fiddle

It might not count as innovation in the last four years because the groundwork was laid decades ago, but in the last four years Waymo evolved to the point where it can drive on the highways.

And this is progress, how?

All it will lead to is yet more people that are out of a job. Right now at least a driving license (more so if it is a commercial license) is a source of income to many.

Good! All jobs should be made obsolete

And then what? Once the economy no longer depends on human input (labor), why do we expect it to keep producing outputs that humans need (food, shelter, medical care)?

Roughly 36k people died on US roads last year. Waymo's own numbers over 271M driverless miles show about 95% fewer serious injury crashes than the human benchmark in the cities it runs in. Discount that however much you want for methodology, it's still progress.

And you really believe that when Waymo is the only way to drive around that those figures will hold?
