I don't have specific information about Minions, but I do know about Stripe's architecture and internal tooling.

The article isn't really talking about changes they made to goose, it's describing how they went about integrating goose with the rest of their developer infrastructure (ie. the AWS-based remote devbox system, Toolshed, etc).


This was also my experience. I was a daily drinker, but once I started on tirzepatide I lost all interest. Even after I stopped taking the medicine, I still wasn't interested. I'll occasionally have a cocktail or glass of wine, but it's now a once-a-month sort of thing.


It removes my craving for alcohol, but I can definitely time my dosage effectiveness based on when I start craving beer again.


This is a really nice tool! (Also, I love the old school animated GIFs in the site's footer.)


> I don’t understand why we are getting these software products that want to have vendor lock in when the underlying system isn’t being improved.

I think it's clear now that the pace of model improvements is asymptotic (or at least it's reached a local maxima) and the model itself provides no moat. (Every few weeks last year, the perception of "the best model" changed, based on basically nothing other than random vibes and hearsay.)

As a result, the labs are starting to focus on vertical integration (that is, building up the product stack) to deepen their moat.


> I think it's clear now that the pace of model improvements is asymptotic

As much as I wish it were, I don't think this is clear at all... it's only been a couple months since Opus 4.5, after all, which many developers state was a major change compared to previous models.


Like I said, lots of vibes and hearsay! :)

The models are definitely continuing to improve; it's more of a question of whether we're reaching diminishing returns. It might make sense to spend $X billion to train a new model that's 100% better, but it makes much less sense to spend $X0 billion to train a new model that's 10% better. (Numbers all made up, obviously.)

You're over-rotating on security. Not that it isn't important, but there are other dimensions to software that benefit heavily from the author having a deep understanding of the code that's being created.


You keep commenting to cite this statute when you clearly have not actually read what it says. Peaceful protest is explicitly protected by the first amendment.


The statute defines a crime that is distinguishable from peaceful protest/1A. You are free to interpret that however you like in relation to what is occurring.


> by force, intimidation, or threat

You seem to be glossing over the key piece of that statute. Peaceful protest is protected by the first amendment (free speech, right to assembly).


Intimidation, or threat at the very least seems applicable here if you have any idea of what's going on in Minnesota and what these Signal chats are being used for.


This statute defines the conditions where free speech transitions to criminal activity.

You can interpret it however you like.


Blocking law enforcement's vehicles and their person (I saw several protestors put hands on officers), when they are conducting arrests, certainly seems to fit the bill.


If you threaten to kill somebody then follow them around for days at a time, is that intimidation?

I've seen pictures of someone with a damaged finger. Given the wild differences between video evidence and what the top levels of the administration claim happen, I think a healthy degree of scepticism is warrented.

Could easily have been hurt by their own flashbang devices or caught it in a car door.


> I've seen pictures of someone with a damaged finger.

The finger was completely removed and pictured separately.

> Could easily have been hurt by their own flashbang devices or caught it in a car door.

I can't fathom either of these explaining what I saw.


I haven't seen the supposed Signal logs, but I'm confident that there wasn't a conspiracy to bite someone's finger.


The point is to establish that the protest has not been entirely peaceful, which raises the possibility of conspiracy covering non-protected actions. The subthread is about what they plan to charge people with, not about exactly what actually happened and whether it meets legal standards. That's what investigations and trials are for.


Some of these are still in existence. For example, Wealthfront Cash is their HYSA offering, which is still very much a thing: https://www.wealthfront.com/cash
