My first boss told me that it's the primary role of a good manager to keep bullshit away from your most competent staff and 'manage' everyone else. I've worked for a number of organizations with different ideas of management since then, but that has been my guiding principle.

One thing I ponder after remembering previous tech booms, is that they often left behind something extremely valuable (fiber). With all the GPU datacenters rolling out, what next bubble can take advantage of this boon, if it is one?

Many of the executives I've been around are extroverts with ADD. They love open offices.

> I don't understand why you think tracking user access rights would be infeasible and would not scale.
Allow me to try to inject my understanding of how these agents work vs regular applications.
A regular SaaS will have an API endpoint that has permissions attached. Before the endpoint processes anything, the user making the request has their permissions checked against the endpoint itself. Once this request succeeds, anything that endpoint collects is considered "ok" ship to the user.
AI Agents, instead, directly access the database, completely bypassing this layer. That means you need to embed the access permissions into the individual rows, rather than at the URL/API layer. It's much more complex as a result.
For your bank analogy: they actually work in a similar way to how I described above. A temporary access is granted to the resources but, once it's granted, any data included in those screens is assumed to be ok. They won't see something like a blank box somewhere because there's info they're not supposed to see.
DISCLAIMER: I'm making an assumption on how these AI Agents work, I could be wrong.
The solution to this problem is to develop your agents to use delegation and exchange tokens for access to other services using an on-behalf-of flow. Agents are never operating under their own identity, but as the user.
I like Courier. Are we gonna bash our heads in and argue over personal preferences?
What else is there to do? We live in an era where there's nothing left to talk about except gpu enabled terminal emulators and how much capitalism sucks

Given that the world is headed towards a surveillance dystopia and Peter Thiel being involved I think I should buy some stocks now. What happened end of 2024 that kicked off its price hike?
Palantir donated millions to the Trump campaign and he won.
Slashdot refused to moderate comments in an effective manner. Comment section was always full of bad memes that became stale:
* Lot of rickrolling. but replace Rick Astley by Goatse, Tubgirl, or LemonParty.
* Frist post
* BSD is dying
* GNAA
* Nathalie Portman
* Robotic Overlord
* In Soviet Russia
* Imagine a Beowulf cluster of these memes
* etc.
Then it becames fixated on SCO and basically became Darl McBride News, for years...
However, what was interresting was their qualified upvote system. You did not simply upvote or downvote, but needed to add a qualifier to it: +1 Informative, +1 Insightful, +1 Interesting, +1 Funny, -1 Troll, -1 Offtopic, -1 Flamebeat. I never seen such a system elsewhere.

Except for the ridiculous laggy interface, it has some functional bugs as well such as things just disappearing for a few days and then they pop up again
