If Epstein had the photo in his possession, then that would explain why it's there!

And to most Hong Kongers (at least judging by the last local election after the 2019 protests), anone who collaborated with pro-mainland forces to kill one-country-two-systems and stifle the free speech guaranteed under the handover could b

Hong Kongers would very much like to choose their own leadership. I understand that you're arguing from a mainland Chinese perspective, but in so doing you're ignoring the people who ought to have the most to say.

Minor blip? First one million people marching. Then a week later nearly two. Street battles between police and protesters supported by many thousands of people. I saw a video of a guy being shoved out of a high-rise window. No doubt that wa

The takeover was deftly executed, with the kind of patience only a government not concerned with elections can exhibit. While local elections came and went, and the opposition parties valiantly fought in the public sphere, the institutional

All I'm saying is that pointing to patents as evidence isn't convincing in and of itself. Now you've brought up specific programs, which are at the very least evidence of their own existence. I think the hurdle is still massi

I know what picture we're talking about. 1) it's not the same as the Getty stock image everyone seems to mistake it for. 2) we don't know if the redaction is erroneous or intentionally misleading, but either way the non-celeb

That's not the exact same image, though. It's a separate image, from the same time and place. The one released may have been in Epstein's possession and therefore part of the files. Either some DoJ drone just redacted all chi

As you say, it's not the same photo. If the one in the dump was in Epstein's possession, the reason for the redactions are either that some drone in the DOJ just redacted all children out of habit, or that it was deliberately done

The fact that someone has filed a patent doesn't mean that they have a workable idea, only that they can formulate and illustrate said idea and that it doesn't overlap with something that already exists.

That is inevitable. Too many people ship only on price and we’ll never reach sufficient mass

It does, but much more important to me is the color grading. The white point in the film versions is infinitely better.

Wow, that genuinely gave me goosebumps. It is incredible to live in a time where so much of that hopeful optimism came to pass.

There is one key way in which I believe the current AI bubble differs from the TMT bubble. As the author points out, much of the TMT bubble money was spent building infrastructure that benefited us many decades later. But in the case of AI,

Ok, so I'm not a programmer, just a knuckle dragger who is vibe coding myself a digital assistant to help me prioritize emails and do scheduling. And because I may use a cloud AI's API rather than local processing I already consid

Your 2006 MacBook was pre-retina, a.k.a. High-resolution, displays though. Any kind of smearing effect probably improved the perception of the image because it masked the very visible pixels in the LCD

AI and vibe coding does not prevent the creation of good, robust and durable code. All it takes is for the coder to think carefully about the functions and not fall for the temptation to make the LLM add a bunch of fluff and features "

It’s a matter of degree. It all adds up. Surely you’ve heard of the great smog in London? That’s an extreme example but all major cities had appalling air pollution. Bad air alone killed untold numbers of people every year.

What kind of tasks do you use it for, if I may ask? Does it include local LLM/AI?

First thing I thought of when reading the linked post! You explained it for a non-Norwegian audience better than I could have too!

Perhaps. But it’s telling that someone whose job is selling those kinds of services wasn’t aware of any personally.

The parable of boots seems apt here. In the extreme, expensive pair can last for a decade while people who can only afford the cheap pair will have to keep buying a new one every year. Yes, the fact that any family can afford a new shelving
