There may not be many, but these people do exist.

I watched someone ask Claude to replace all occurrences of a string instead of using a deterministic operation like “Find and Replace” available in the very same VSCode window they prompted Claude from.

It’s all part of the game it seems.

The US bugged the “toilet partitions” of the Russian embassy in D.C. during its construction[0] and the FBI built a tunnel under it for espionage purposes in the 80s[1].

New comment by csh0 in "US orders diplomats to fight data sovereignty initiatives"

csh0 — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 15:49:21 +0000

I think it’s fair to say that diplomats appear to be appointed under a two-faced system.

On the one side you have some diplomats who really are quite capable career foreign policy wonks, appointed in a manner which appears to be meritocratic.

On the other side you have folks appointed, like you mention, as a kind of patronage.

Traditionally, it has been that the softer counterparties (Friendly countries, European allies, small island nations, etc) are staffed with patrons while the more difficult or geopolitically sensitive relationships are manned by professionals, but this is certainly not always true, and one can find many counterexamples.

Your quoted paragraphs are not discussing the same trend, your first paragraph is referring to drinking habits in those 65 or older.

The second paragraph is discussing drinking habits for all US adults.

This is interesting, do all major airports have the ability to set up this cable system if needed? Or is this unique to PDX, or perhaps only those airports which are near where fighters train.

I looked it up since I was also curious. There’s this story making the rounds right now in FL: https://youtu.be/ia1qP1DmJdg

It seems as if these are developments which didn’t get completed.

This reads like a fluff piece for Goldman Sachs and the startup Cognition. It’s running in a bunch of outlets concurrently.

Goldman gets to appear as being on the cutting edge by incorporating AI. The startup behind the agent GS is using, Cognition (who is seeking a $2B valuation), gets to be seen as effective and bolster their name recognition.

New comment by csh0 in "Ask HN: Anyone is an "AI Engineer"? What does your job tasks include?"

csh0 — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 22:15:10 +0000

The “AI Software Engineers” at my company, whose applications and workflows I often support as an SRE, by and large build things with LLMs rather than train or create them.

What they build ranges from product features to internal tools. They make heavy use of LLM vendor inference APIs, vector databases, etc. They end up writing a lot of glue code and software to manage the context of the LLM, query for data, integrate with other systems and so on. They also develop front-end interfaces for their applications.

Only recently have they started to, lightly, explore the idea of training LLMs with managed services like AWS SageMaker.

All this is to say that, the “AI Engineer/SWE” title will probably represent vastly different things depending on the technical sophistication of the organization.

If someone told me they were an AI Engineer at OpenAI I’d be more inclined to expect their role to be more fundamental, elsewhere, not so much.

FWIW, eBay no longer works like this. When you put up a listing there’s now an option, enabled by default, to require payment at checkout.

This situation may still occur if you are taking offers on an item. In that case the buyer has to pay within 48 hours of the offer being accepted or the listing will become eligible for re-posting.

This is basically the point of PSLF[0]. The cost to participants is not $0, but it can ultimately be very low if they only make income adjusted payments during their 10 years of service.

I think the idea is that if you were recording a podcast it wouldn’t be live (I know the parent used the word live but I think they meant “live” during recording or in conversation while the episode is being created), so you are free to make references to soon to be declared URLs.

You just have to make sure you have populated the content at the location you are referencing before you upload or publish your episode for your listeners.

If I had to guess: side load F-Droid onto the Fire Stick and install Termux from there.

Then you could SSH into a cloud computing environment and work off that.
