Headline is misleading. It does not talk about trading securities at all. Not worth a read if you actually were interested in the headline.

Better headline: Using Insider Information to Advance (Save?) Your Career.

I am not a lawyer, but I can't see how any court would enforce this unconscionable term in a clickwrap license.

I have 2x R9700 and 192G RAM on a computer and would like to run this!

What do people do if you are on the $200 Claude plan and hit your limit mid-week? This does not happen often but happened to me this week after going from $29 to $100 to $200 last week. Do you get a Codex sub? A second Claude account? How do you deal with continuity.

Not a law. A regulation. If it were a law, it would have required Congress to change. Not that that would likely have stopped this administration.

Good way to spend $1.3T that this party of fiscal responsibility doesn't have.

Please share what operating system and model runtime you use? I have two and don't get close to that with AMD's own Lemonade. Thanks!

Shame the page does not tell you what HTMX is, even in one sentence.

Antigravity (at least Antigravity CLI which I use) is the CLI coding (?) agent harness from Google that uses Gemini as the model. There are other models available but I haven't tried them.

In this case, get an ancient VAXstation running with VAX LISP so I could port my Z-machine interpreter from CLOS to their CLtL flavors implementation and try to get Zork and other games running on it. But goodness forbid you ask Claude for help with 35 year old software without hitting their guardrails.

I have noticed that too!! I order something, they take 3-5 days to ship, it arrives in 1-2 days after that. Why not just ship it straight away? Shouldn't AmazonPrime be sued for fraudulence?

Surprising. I have hit its BS guardrails a lot lately, working on my vintage computers from the 80s and early 90s. Just about done with Claude.

I have a Flip 7 and did the opposite - turned off all Samsung stuff. Maybe that was wrong? Can you give some concrete examples of useful Samsung AI stuff please?

I use Claude and Antigravity CLI as an (Arch) Linux desktop system administrator a lot lately. Is Codex useful for that too?

I have a place in upstate NY, near the vermont/canada border. I have prime. The best shipping they usually do is a week. Nigh useless.

Best Buy, Microcenter, B&H, Walmart all do better. They just don't have the range or sometimes do not respect my tax forms.

I am an hour drive from a larger town with a big box store like Walmart. The Best Buy closed. The closest thing nearby is something called Tractor Supply. They put out a big sign each year saying "We Have Chicks!!!" which means they have baby chickens, ducks and turkeys. They are super cute.

I saw this movie. Schindler's List, was it? History really does repeat itself.
