cuts out like 80-90% of the automated scans in our cases.

and the other way round - have it built in for self-fuzzing and healing the infra.

the "perfectly rational markets" expect the central banks to lower interest rates. which actually assumes that something economically worse happens in the meantime because as it is now, the fed is _not_ lowering.

core CPI is dropping and most of the growth in December was real-state (which is on a downward trend)

Some consumer prices deflated last month

Wider economy job data is not as hot (december was 40k higher than expected but 70k jobs were erased from octo and november payroll so its cooling)

while the fed may not cut in march i think its likely they will cut at least once or twice in '24

yes that sounds rational. central bankers are humans with a target on their back though.

it's a play on n-wave feminism and how white lady feminism was/is different than that of the "subalterns".

they will sell. the big guys are gobbling up _anything_ they can get their hands on.

> My fear is that eventually you'll start seeing government services where identity and auth are handed off to private companies like Google and Apple. Imagine having your real identity tied to an attestation by one of those companies.

a general taste for dysfunctional public-private partnerships and the fact that auth is a seriously hard problem at scale, make this scenario a few percentage points more likely than anyone should feel comfortable with.

yes i'd second deepseek-coder and check out wingman. it's a relatively new extension, snappy and with good ux.

Is this the one? https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=nvms.ai-...

There's another one called Wingman Copilot as well: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=WingmanC...

yes, it's the nvms one.

yes. from the perspective of anthropology, humans using tools are cyborgs. and language and texts are ai. or "alien intelligence" as burroughs (and a few others) would have put it.

you both describe valid approaches, similar to a breadth- or depth-first search. one will get into deep waters with "some great big system", regardless of the specifics.

this looks really cool. might be perfect for an old odroid. hope that doesn't stray too far from the happy paths.
