There is one scenario it would be good for. People running stock trading programs often need a better network and always on environment than they can get at home

One superpower I wish I had is the incredible summarizing into single sentences that you can see in the LLM web UIs when they automatically make a title for a discussion.

I wonder if there’s a way to train that ability.


If by "train" you mean "learn", it occurs to me you could try applying the "CAR story" interview technique of relating a story in 3 sentence (one each for the Challenge, Action and Result). Once you have it down to 3 sentences, distilling it into one, or producing a title, should become doable. HTH

> I wonder if there’s a way to train that ability.

I have to imagine it comes down to study and practice, just like everything else.


"plucked out of my bum" sounds so much more sophisticated than “pulled out of my ass”

Plucked betwixt mine cheeks

Optimizing for learning/iteration speed is a solid approach that applies just as much to software development.

Designers and product managers were showing Steve Jobs all the fancy things the new app for writing DVDs could do.

Steve Jobs stopped them, drew a square on the whiteboard and said “anything the user drags into this square gets written to the DVD” - that is taste!


This is a fine start for filesystem and network policies. But before I’m ever going to be comfortable with an OpenClaw-like thing running on my system on my behalf, I’m going to want policies at an application level as well - which emails can be read, sent, deleted. Same for calendar entries and instant messaging, etc.

So what’s the disease called when you have an uncompetitive domestic car industry?

Chinese cars are a cancer, and American cars are obese with heart disease extremely high healthcare premiums?

[edit]

For the record, I would never buy a Chinese car, but I can't fault anyone who is disappointed by domestic offerings: too heavy, too luxurious, too big, too expensive, too over-complicated, too many touchscreens, poor repair-ability, sky-high insurance premiums, terrible visibility, skyrocketing repair costs, too many sensors, etc, etc.


Why would you never buy a Chinese car?

I'd be worried about safety in a crash, safety with regard to battery fires, and then privacy / tracking issues. It's easy to say that these issues are just as bad for non-Chinese cars, but that's not true. As recently as 2024, you could get base model Nissans with no telematics systems whatsoever (this may still be true in 2026, I'm just unaware) and the Ford Maverick's Telematics system has a single fuse that you can easily remove without affecting any other system.

Casually mentions “prompt injection detection” with zero explanation of how or within what limits, as if this is a solved problem.

Yes it’s a despicable regime, but wiping out a “whole civilization” implies all of the innocent people who have done nothing other than having had the misfortune of being born there.

Europeans already see the USA as no longer a trustworthy partner. Greenland, abandoning NATO, undermining Ukraine will do that.

Asians no longer see the USA as a viable alternative to China.

Canada and others talk about alliances between Middle Powers as the future.

The damage to America’s international reputation is devastating.


r/flairedusersonly I mean r/whinysafespacecriers I mean r/hypocrites is up to their usual whining "everyone is a liberal infiltrator" and "clearly trumps just trolling" again:

I think we should troll a bit whenever we meet magas with jokes such as "I wish to disembowel trump", "nuke Mar a'lago" and so on I am sure they will take it in the good humor its intended to be.


Pfff, this is nothing. The $20,000 Neo folds clothes much slower and comes with free remote operators.
