The way money-laundering works, you take ill-begotten funds and somehow churn it into legal tender in ways that can’t be traced back to the source. Another angle is to create corporate entities that show loss against gains, so you can deduct and don’t have to pay taxes on your windfall profits.

In the olden days, these were physical, degrading assets. Like strip malls, real-eestate, and dodgy, money-losing businesses that somehow stuck around forever. At the end, you were stuck with physical entities you couldn’t unload.

Crypto and NFT were just digital variations of the same financial model, minus the hassle of having to manage the property.

Should have had him pose BEFORE the big lamb stew. Afterwards, everyone needed a nap.

Go big or go home. Burkas.

Minimum 15 years of experience.

Given that the infrastructure description included the DataTalks.Club website, this resulted in a full wipe of the setup for both sites, including a database with 2.5 years of records, and database snapshots that Grigorev had counted on as backups. The operator had to contact Amazon Business support, which helped restore the data within about a day.

Non-story. He let Terraform zap his production site without offsite backups. But then support restored it all back.

I’d be more alarmed that a ‘destroy’ command is reversible.

There’s a difference between ‘repairable’ and ‘upgradable.’ Most of the comments seem to conflate the two. Lenovo isn’t doing a Framework.

It’s a smart move. Differentiates them from other laptop-makers for corporate IT, who can do the parts swaps themselves. Also smart is associating the brand with iFixit and working to get a 10/10. That’ll be what sets them apart from all the others, at least for the next year or two.

Ah, pregnancy… when internal organs migrate to the arms.

Was self-hosting gitlab or foregejo not an option?

How many of these are SmallSats and CubeSats?

There are high schools and colleges lobbing these into space.

At some point, some DIY person will come up with a way to disable these things in their presence.

And they will make bank.

MCPs could learn a thing or two from the failures of ActiveX.

Will they?

No…

Web4? Seriously?

There’s a reason that sign is there.

These are all the Least Worst solutions. I humbly disagree.

Like RAM, CSS color prices have gone through the roof.

When LLMs first came out, I asked them a few fun logic puzzles. The kind that Martin Gardner used to publish in Scientific American.

Got total gibberish answers. A while later, tried again. This time, perfect word-for-word responses. Had LLMs become sentient and developed logic? Turned out they had found all the old Scientific American back issues to train on.

Guessing the same is going on with the carwash question. The more posts come out about it, the more likely the LLM responses will get closer to published answers.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Question is, how long before it makes it to the next DGX Spark? Some people don’t have $10B to burn.

370 BC?

The beards need to be way more fierce.
