For a laptop rather Linux Mint. But 900 squid for that is indeed a fine price.

The Department of Defense becoming the Department of War was a tell.

Total shite. This language is a legacy of the US tech/VC nexus. Instead of just saying 'we like money, so fuck off and let us make it, we don't give a shit'... they come out with this pious sounding BS about how they are helping people.
Zuck is a master at this.

Hey @axios.com, it’s actually nine jets, four of them luxury, with another luxury jet on the way. You’re only counting two luxury jets and the one on the way.

Please credit me when you confirm and update your story, thank you! gillianbrockell.ghost.io/noems-luxury...

Yup. Quick and easy enough to learn and play all in one go. And if you want you can plug and play the lore with that other lore from that other Great War game.

Now that he’s started a war, I’ve completely forgotten that he’s a pedophile.

The business strategies that make Walmart a ghoul and Costco a mensch Neither Walmart nor Costco represents the extreme of what's possible within the system, but their choices do showcase some sharp contrasts within the broad spectrum of American capitalism.

Strategic choices: When both options are good Real strategy means choosing between two good options and accepting all the consequences--even the painful ones you don’t like.

ICYMI: New article!

Most strategy docs are just moral aspirations: customer-first, move fast, quality.

They feel good because they avoid sacrifice.

A real strategic choice hurts: choosing A over B even though B is also smart.

Accept the consequences you don’t like to get the ones you do.

This Is How Companies REALLY Come Up With 'Organisational Values'
This Is How Companies REALLY Come Up With 'Organisational Values' YouTube video by Wankernomics

Uninteresting is a mild way of putting it. Most statements of organizational values are motherhood & apple pie. But staff on a day to day basis have no consistent conceptual model for how to translate those values into 'trade-off' decisions such as described in the OP's article.

Alice in Wonderland x Dreamland game went well! The trick IMHO with an Alice game is keeping up the level of wordplay and jokes that the material demands... but when I couldn't do that, I at least tried to keep it weird. Tested some new game mechanics & Impairments for the Wonderland region #ttrpg

I missed the bluesky vs X discourse but as always you can start everyone one of these debates with a simple question!!!!!

Every time I talk about the issues and problems surrounding LLM (or Vibe-coded) ***product*** development, I get a bunch of off-topic comments (which the writers seem to think are refutations) along the lines of "but I built this useful small thing for myself."

When oligarchs talk of β€œpersonal liberties and free markets” they mean their own liberties to become even richer and more powerful.

When oligarchs speak of β€œfreedom,” what they actually seek is freedom from accountability.

Know the truth.

As the world reels from the president's rant and threats of additional tariff chaos, I'd just like to remind the UK that they recently arrested someone who could probably bring down this entire house of cards with very little incentive.

Same. And definitely not a day goes by but the LLM makes /some/ important error or hallucination. I dread to think what it would produce if one did not constantly apply pinches of salt

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

That's a pile of plastic packaging though for a small tasty product. The case looks like PET which will prob get recycled. The lid is something flexible which will likely go through a long journey eastwards until being quietly burned.
