Anthropic have non-cancellable obligations of $500bn yet they have $4.6bn of cancellable income. How on earth do they expect an IPO valuation of $2tn?! Is its existential risk to humanity the risk it presents to the market?

The ability to rapidly generate code on demand changes the typical programmer’s mix of how they spend their time. Typing code was never the most valuable thing programmers did; with agent-assisted programming hand editing source code shrinks as a percentage of their day, leaving more time for…

Macron: “Brexit is the biggest lie of the last 30 years. “Those who said, "We will be richer" - eight points of GDP less ten years later. "”We will solve the problem of immigration" - it is more complicated than before. "”We are going to crush it in international trade" - it is worse.”

Don't be fooled into thinking that a "free market" only exists when corporations get to "self-regulate" and do whatever they want. And don't be led to think that the government is "intruding" into the market when it crafts laws to protect the public. The real issue is power — and who has it.

The Trump administration suffered its 24th straight court loss in its voter roll grab Thursday, after a federal judge in Vermont denied the U.S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) effort to access Green Mountain State voters’ unredacted personal data. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

So far, the DOJ has lost every one of its case to have been decided — and it also lost an appeal to the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Azure Service Bus duplicate detection won't save you from redelivery. It only suppresses repeated sends. Your consumer still has to be idempotent, and Microsoft's new Idempotent Consumer pattern page shows how.

learn.microsoft.com

Idempotent Consumer Pattern - Azure Architecture Center

Use the Idempotent Consumer pattern to safely process duplicate messages from at-least-once deliveries so that repeated processing has the same effects as processing once.

An element of this that I'm still exploring is compounding errors. If interaction 1 is wrong, the error can become part of the context of interaction 2. There's *causality* involved, and the amount of unvalidated causality - feedback latency - becomes a dominant factor, I suspect.
