Pour one out for the memory of CruiseControl, the OG (?) granddaddy of all CI systems in the form we would recognise them today.

I remember setting up CruiseControl when I was at a J2EE shop. That and Mantis, but I don't remember which was before which.

Hah, I was looking at this and going "wasn't this up on HN front page just a few days ago?" and has completely missed Nanoclaw vs Nanobot.

Meanwhile in Australia two teens I am responsible for still have TikTok appearing in their screentime usage and for longer than the time limit I have set for them.

I think if someone came up with a liquid solution that could be easily carried and sprayed on dog poo, such that it harmlessly (to either the pavement or grass/soil it was deposited upon) dissolved in the space of a few minutes leaving nary a trace… that person would become very very rich.

You want a spray that converts dog poo into dog diarrhea, and you think thats better?

Dog poo is detrimental to the environment and us, so that would only make things worse actually.

Without answers to these questions, I don't think we are ever achieving AGI. At the end of the day, frontier models are just arithmetic, conditionals, and loops.

Maybe, but I did come to the article hoping to learn that he had just published another collection of short stories, but alas not.

Apple have no interest in fixing the “one more minute” loophole in Screen Time so I don’t see them wanting to support this.
