@niconiconi of course! And a cat is like a netcat, but without the network

@david_chisnall @kim_harding the conflict is with the budget airlines, who would be just as opposed to mandating any kind of checked baggage allowance. The traditional ones already offer both checked luggage and more generally included board luggage.

@grimalkina you might have heard of the fedi - bsky bridge, which allows users to interact with each other between bluesky and Mastodon.
People could get confused between your Mastodon / bsky selves - I don't have to deal with that as I don't use bluesky.

@tedunderwood.me@bsky.brid.gy I know you're half joking, but when I catch myself "goldplating" like this for some throwaway /noncritical personal tool, I consider it a kind of procrastination or self-soothing behavior.

@ahl @binjip978 @bcantrill Let me help you out: I noticed a pointed lack of chime when Bryan mentioned a certain capillary topic that appeared in a previous episode.

@bert_hubert re: smart outsourcing, this also came to mind: https://danluu.com/nothing-works/

"... mid-sized tech companies, we can see that they often need to have in-house expertise that's far outside what anyone would consider their core competency unless, e.g., every social media company has kernel expertise as a core competency."

@susankayequinn looks like there's some "tuning" going on https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/waymo-robotaxis-driving-like-humans-20354066.php, which they will hopefully get in trouble for.
As for the liability, Uber has a similarly effective solution that doesn't require $30b (and counting) of investment: it stops with the driver-contractor. They do provide additional insurance, but they usually can't be sued themselves AFAICT.

@bob yeah, pretty bad. Though on the upside I'm pretty sure cars would not be allowed on public streets if they were invented today

@TheServitor @kdkorte indeed! See https://fedi.simonwillison.net/@simon/114693248045080643 and many other posts by @simon and others

@TheServitor @kdkorte the practical implications are overstated in my opinion. It could make it harder for the kind of business model that requires rug-pulling by relicensing open-source, but most code is either open-sourced under a generous license (MIT /Apache, etc) or it's never made public (in which case copyright is irrelevant; we're talking about leaking of internal company information, which is a different legal topic).
The security risks when your LLM starts accessing the web directly are much more concerning.
