It seems hard to cure because a lot of this is stuff that just probably shouldn’t be done. Ie the structure of the products veers so close to anti-competitive practices that it’s just untenable in the face of regulatory…
If they’re bigger folks or starving and someone doesn’t want bone-in chicken, I could see it. 3 large 4 piece combos is $55.50 in Miami, and I think there are other things in that range (eg a 5 pc tender meal if someone…
I do think it’s a step function improvement, as someone that enjoys those crappy but infinitely-useful tools. Those tools tend to suck in the sense that they were written for a single person, so the tool assumes that…
I was thinking of studies like https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adh2586 I may have misremembered the domain, or I may have neglected to remember the publishers. This time around I explicitly excluded any…
They can be impeached, though the efficacy of that is questionable these days.

There’s no way to justify their valuations if they get downgraded to a pair programming tool. They need fully agentic stuff to work and replace human engineers to even come close. Offhand, I’m not even certain whether a…

That's not a lawsuit by a gun manufacturer, those are regular private citizens and the "California Rifle and Pistol Association". So far as I can tell, that's not an industry lobby group, it's a private interest group…

One is a specific pattern, with specific distances, colors, etc. The other is a human-invented category of objects that lacks consistency in size, shape and design. “Don’t print this specific pattern” is a much more…
They don’t claim it doesn’t exist, they claim it bears a cost significant to the overall cost of the firearm and is unlikely to meaningfully accomplish its stated goals. Ie prices will go up by 10% or whatever for…
New stuff does, but most of my peripherals aren't new. A couple are a decade old and probably pre-date USB-C being standardized. I am semi-frequently annoyed that my laptop has 0 USB-A ports. At least give me one.

There’s few implementations of the engine, but many implementations of rules for that engine. I think OPs point is that many of those rule sets probably don’t do what the author intended. I would second that, because…
It’s not what they do, and it’s a crowded market where they don’t really have an edge. If you want well-vetted products, don’t go to Craigslist. They’re just digital classifieds, the tradition is basically “anyone can…
I would disagree, purely because the utility of a programming language doesn’t hinge on how many speak it. The goal of programming languages is to execute instructions on the machine. Brainfuck still executes machine…
I suspect these won't be as sticky as the contracts you're thinking of. Oracle and Microsoft can run on that because their products aren't compatible with anything else so migrating is a huge pain. Cursor doesn't really…
The dual risks of either a) accidentally pushing a foreign competitor into the lead and losing dominant status, or b) pushing the underlying companies hard enough that they decide to relocate. a) is specifically the…

An illustrative example I've seen a lot is creating Jira tickets in projects with custom fields marked as mandatory. It tries to create the ticket without the field and the tool call fails. The LLM needs access to the…
