The Romania-ization of European democracies has just begun. Once Brussels sends „democracy-protecting“ tanks into the capitals of its member states, the „EU-SSR-meme“ will have successfully completed the „conspiracy“ life cycle we‘ve become so adjusted to lately (conspiracy > meme > reality). Just remember to, in the meantime, de-humanize every complainer as „Putin-Puppet“ because how else can we protect democracy if not by eliminating dissent, eh?
Yeah, I guess my question was: that assumes the MCP server is running on the same machine as your files? Otherwise, if it's a remote MCP server then you would have to be developing on that remote machine? That may be an obvious "yes" so I just wonder why there are so many posts around hosting MCP servers via Cloudfare or what have you if they can't even edit your files on your machine.

Fraud is fraud, but I'm happy JPMorgan got caught up in this mess. Buying a promising startup for its technology or product is one thing, but the bank literally only cared about the personal data of its supposed 4 million high school and college aged users. Good riddance the whole thing imploded and there weren't real teenagers being spammed credit card and car loan offers.
I looked to see if this is normal behavior for the account thinking they got hacked... but they have troll comments from 10 months ago too. Missing required medications?
The article also says

> JPMorgan became interested partly because of the potential it saw in Frank’s supposedly huge list of satisfied clients. The bank believed those future college graduates could become lifelong bank customers

Generating a fake user accounts database would only conceivably work if you expected the purchaser to never attempt to contact any of the business's users, which seems a ludicrous expectation.

Good point, another commenter above linked to the court records which explained she provided this during due-diligence:

> Javice agreed to provide in the template actual customer data for all fields except email and home street addresses; those she agreed to provide as a “unique ID” due to alleged privacy concerns.

So they did verify it but didn't catch it until the real list was sent.
As a kid, my all-time favorite Christmas present was a Gen-1x baseball bat. It was my first -3 bat, and promised a new metal alloy that would help me hit harder. Talk about sparking the imagination!

Without question, one of the high points of childhood was going out and trying to make that bat pop.

A lot of long-term baseball fans “get it” when it comes to creative tech in the game and it’s fun to see something new with bats.

The only thing I want to point out is that baseball (and all big sports) have always been a technological arms race and always will be. It’s just part of it.
It split. The counter part is antimatter. And there’s more matter than antimatter.

The harm comes from AI "entrepreneurs" making a business out of cloning Miyazaki's style - and the styles of countless lesser known artists - and flooding the market with garbage that cheapens the value of the original work and undermines the market for human talent. And from the people in the AI community who are already claiming this is superior to the original and celebrating the death of human art. And from the likelihood that people will become dependent on this technology - which will be forced down our throats whether we want it or not - and consider themselves artists having never bothered to learn how to express themselves or develop their own talent, or even be allowed the tools to do so beyond the bounds of what an AI intermediary allows.

> And you conveniently ignore Moses killing all the first-borns.

I don't think it's really Moses killing all the first-borns. It's God. While he's complicit to some extent, he doesn't really have a choice in the matter.

While he could theoretically ask for mercy, God isn't exactly known for his compassion at that point in the story. He only really mellows out a bit when he has his own child.

Not to mention that Moses's got pretty good motivation. How many people stuck in a concentration camp would happily murder all first-borns in Germany given the chance?
I can attest to how easy it's become to update jdks for our org.

8->11 was really a pain in the neck. 11->17 had some pain, but mostly was nothing serious.

17->21 has been painless.

The feature delivery has been great and we are getting pretty close to not needing to do anything but update the jdk to move forward.

The article references the showrooms as the sales point.

Not "online sales". "Tesla sold about 8,600 cars in three days at four separate stores in Canada".

Yes, cars were sold online. This references Tesla recording the place of sale as those showrooms.

The contortions to defend Tesla are ridiculous.

If you believe Tesla, nearly 20% of its annual sales for the entirety of Canada happened around these four locations in one weekend. It just so, coincidentally, happened to be conveniently timed for subsidies.
You can do that on the Boox devices. On their default Neo browser, the volume keys act as PgUp/PgDn, so the screen doesn't refresh when you scroll a few pixels. I had this feature on the Dolphin Android browser way back in the day.
There's also some cool stuff brewing in the AVS space to allow nondeterminism, GPU, storage, and more.. for example, WAVS executes stuff off-chain in WASI components, and brings the result on-chain (secured by re-staking via Eigenlayer etc.)- so there's a roadmap to do things directly in wasi-gfx powered shaders and more low-level access like that
Honestly, seeing this, I'm 1/2 tempted to revisit org-mode and retrying emacs as a dev environment.

Don't get me wrong; I use emacs all the time, I just can't seem to make it work for me when working with teams of people on large-ish software projects.

But maybe org mode is worth a revisit as a "managing my ADHD" tool; it's got to be better than Jira, haha.

Charitable trusts, depending on the type, often/usually provide shielding from various types of taxes. That's not intended to be a cynical statement--the end result may well still be positive for society--but nonetheless it's one mechanism by which at least relatively affluent people can keep profits out of the hands of the government. It happens at much smaller scale than in this case as well.

> It is possible this was legit but there should be an investigation.

It's really not. That's Tesla saying that one-fifth of its annual sales for the entire country of Canada happened on one weekend in one part of the province of Ottawa.
>Unfortunately the US government has always been a government for people who do not want to be governed

I don't think that's the entire description of the problem. The US government was setup to strictly govern a certain subset of the population (non-voting citizens, later non-voting people), but allow freedom to people who don't want to be governed.

The clash between the two has "generally" been helpful since it is a largely symbolic reality that we do both want structure and regulation but also freedom to do things outside that structure.

The current regime demonstrates that to a tee. That there is no clear intersection between who should be strictly governed and who should be imbued with freedom, and that there's no simple tests of them.

I've tried playing guitar on and off my whole life over last 40 years and I can't believe that it took me until this year to try, on a whim, a classical guitar. Suddenly my fat fingers can fit next to each other making an A or B chord, and they don't hurt and blister after a short session of play. Seriously make sure to not overlook non-steel guitars if you're having trouble.

If the cult doesn't vote or is overrun by engaged normal people, then we can dismisss them as that father did his family. Cults aren't necessarily known for their majority rule (exposing them to the public is often poison to them).

People engaged in going to townhalls are absolutely a great measure of what will actually happen at the polls. Especially in non-national elections which often have a small fraction of turnout and a few hundred votes can swing an entire election.

>"We’re now at a place where our audience is actually bigger in the U.S. than The Wall Street Journal’s audience in the U.S."

That feels like not that much money considering the readership, right? The WSJ has somewhere around 3 million subscribers; they would need to be making only 14 dollars per subscription per year to do that sort of revenue.

Not to say that's necessarily a bad thing, but more that you need a pretty substantial readership to get there.

Put another way, that revenue is like 200k subscribers at 20 bucks a month. That would put you at the level of a newspaper like the Minnesota Star Tribune as far as subscription revenue.
It’s actually just a Forbes marketing ploy.

> The article says that works out to 18% of annual volume, which means the cancellation of the rebate brought forward just over 2 months worth of sales.

For the country. This happened in one city of one province.

Ottawa has 1.4M people in a country of 37M (4%).

So 18% of the country's entire volume for the year was sold in a city that has less than 4% of the population. In a weekend.

8600 vehicles sold, representing 18% of the vehicles sold in Canada = 48,000 in a year. Two months of sales would be 8,000. Recognizing that the population isn't evenly distributed, that is actually more like 320 is the expectation... not 8,600. Even multiplying that number by 10 to factor in things like urban/rural still gets you to less than a third of what Tesla claims was sold...

> I'd save $10k (or whatever the rebate is) compared to if I bought 2 months later.

Just over $3k ($5k CAD).

The problem fundamentally is during a sale you don't get access to the actual DB. DD you typically only get a subset of data, so whoever you contact or even physically visit, it all could be fake people answering the phone or even at a fake address impersonating whoever they need to.

For $175m of fraud, it's definitely worth to set that up.

The core problem here is - the US lacks the ability to realtime verify identity against a centrally government controlled DB. US would never allow this under privacy rules, but that's what it would take to really identify a particular person.
Here's my left-field pitch since everyone's shopping the A.IDEs - don't use them.

The polish of Cursor et al is a component of its dishonesty. You should keep the nature of the tool exposed to you at all times.

I say you should:

- identify the things about your personal development process that you'd like to streamline (up to and including not having to code everything by hand)

- write Python scripts that call LLMs (or don't!) to achieve the thing you want.

- heck, write library functions and establish some neat patterns - a random prompt picker using a folder of txt files, why not?

Not only can you create a development experience that approximates much of what Cursor does, you can make one that is twice as good for you because it is aligned with how you work, and how you think.

And at that point, with your fluent new workflow, making a simple VSCode extension to hook into your scripts can't be all that hard. At that point, how can Cursor compete?

I read the Guardian for 20 years, it's not less partisan in its output, it's incredibly partisan - just like all the other big papers.
