I WOULD have assets, but they're not solid enough to pay yet. Each watch and gold bar is earmarked for assets in the pipeline. In the mean time, please send more gold bars and Rolexes to keep the pipeline full. I can't prove the assets are real because that would blow their cover, obviously. Moles, you know. Anyone could be a mole. You could be a mole. The boss is always the mole.

I believe that is true. The world's intelligence agencies want good, honest and loyal analysts in the office, but people who they recruit for the field excel at deception, infiltration, manipulation, interrogation, torture. This guy seems perfect for a spy runner.

The majority of runtime errors in code are references to null pointers. Segfaults and memory leaks are probably the next most common. The stack overflow should be less common, because who the f...k uses recursion in production code anymore? Well not in the kind of shizz I work on anyway.
25 or so years ago, building server code in C we shared memory pointers and stuff I wouldn't consider doing today, but we're actually doing those things, but the dangerous parts are abstracted out by the concurrency model of the language or libraries.
I like a language with all the development capabilities and tools built in. I don't want to install plugins or tools like prettier or spotless for formatting (yuck), the language should have its own formatter as a pre-compiler. I don't want hundreds of 3rd party dependencies to do simple stuff like format a string or send/receive network calls. I don't want to install an "ecosystem", I want a programming language and a set of standard libraries. I don't want to get stuck in the latest framework's opinions just to have to migrate to the next latest framework because none of them were well thought out in the first place. Most of the stuff we do is 'standard' and the standard library should provide all that.

The kernel is what, 3% rust, 98% C?
It's still 0% Zig so that's not great.

I forgot about Soma FM! I don't see the point of Last FM. That reminds me I need to send my bandcamp albums to Soma FM.

If one uses a pay-per-token model this is probably going to be a net loss without a lot of hand-holding and prompt adjusting. I personally don't like trading because of all the missed opportunities. But running a local model with this MCP server could make trading a bit less of a PITA. An LLM that is already authenticated can place a limit order faster than I could log-in, perform 2FA and fill out the limit-order form. I'd use it. I'd let it manage my non-IRA, non 401k portfolio and see what it can do. I'd be really surprised if it did anything but invest in things the analysts tell it to.

As much as I thumbs-up and thumbs-down content, it still has opinions on what it thinks I want to see that are entirely wrong. The feedback loop is short to get new content into the feed. Getting the slop out takes a lot longer.

These are the people who buy all the self-help and successful living books. There's a book club at work run by managers, and guess which books are always featured.

As much as I want to quit the tech industry to run a hobby farm, I really don't want to have to make money doing it.
I never saw the draw of those pigs. Someone down the street had one and it was .. a pig. Runny-nosed fat little pig.

He's doing what labor leaders asked him to do:
"In February, AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler and Gonzalez delivered what amounted to an ultimatum to Newsom: regulate AI or lose labor's support for any future presidential run."
  Also:
"Businesses are going to make a fortune, and that's why you cannot continue to have a payroll tax system that taxes jobs and then subsidizes automation."

Hey, ya der ah, ders a lot of crackers in Chicago.

The woman with the cane looks like Charlize Theron. The love interest looks like anybody - too generic to be interesting. The protagonist looks like a composite of 3-5 actors who's names I can't conjure up right now. If the director "just wants to tell stories" as he claims, he's not telling very original or interesting ones. I'm sure someone will come along and write a script and 100k lines of prompts to make something we forget is AI generated because it's such a good story, but that has yet to happen. So far everything I've seen is trying to recreate someone's idea of an anime sci-fi action flick using ai-gen 'live action' characters.

"Creatives" don't use LLMs when they work on creative things. They use them because the people who employ them saying "AI is the future" and humans are just expensive meat that gets in the way.
Almost everyone in film making that's entirely finance/business end of things is an artist or at least a crafter/technician. Actors, set work, costume work, lighting, sound, weapon making, vehicles, stunts, visual FX, editing .. Watch the f-king credits of any film, even the low budget stuff and you see lots and lots of people involved. I've watched gen-AI movies (short ones) being made, and there's very little art to it. Building enormous prompts that make a statistical algorithm behave the way you want is tedious, time consuming and not very rewarding to artists. There's a huge difference between getting a kick out of chatbots and making art.
It's kind of like how the intersection of sports fans and people with gambling and addiction problems is large. The dopamine scrollers and addicts might get a kick out of AI prompting.

Can't the news story come out AFTER I purchase the stock. I should already have owned shares in GF already. This is probably just an insider trading deal. If the Trump admin's back-office finance team purchases a ton of undervalued stocks, and then Trump hands the companies behind those tickers a few billion in public money, is it a crime?
It's a crime. As is giving public money to people who tried to overthrow the government. But that's neither here nor there.

You're right, you don't gotta. Similar comments appear under every layoff announcement article and I think it's a knee-jerk reaction to the number. LinkedIn's business model is a lot bigger/more complex than just job listings. Learning courses, advertising, blah blah blah.. Microsoft bought them for $196/share in 2016. That was and is a buttload of money.
