On the other hand, my wife wouldn’t have survived to this age if not for technology that wasn’t available in the 1900s. I can answer those emails from my air conditioned office or house. I have time to answer them because we’re not spending

People in comfortable positions wish that other people would stop competing to take them away. Organizing the whole world to stop competing only sounds nice when you imagine that it means you get to lock your position in life in place and s

They probably would be awful to have a house next to, but which if the hyperscale data center proposals are near residential areas? The really large data centers have to go into areas with a lot of land and utility connections. These are us

I agree that I don’t want a data center in my backyard either. What’s missing from this strange conversation is discussion about how many data center proposals are near residential areas. I tried to look for one in my state and a few surrou

Meta has not spent $2 billion on ID lobbying. That bogus number came from a complete AI slop Reddit post that was later removed. That’s why the only references you can find to it are from sites like your gadgetreview.com link that repost cl

Are you using the free ChatGPT tier? You might see an ad separate from the response. Do you pay $20/month or more? You won't see any ads.

The judge already ruled that training on the books does not constitute reselling their content. The authors were only owed money for the piracy.

I think a lot of people are missing the fact that this is for the free tier, not their subscriptions. OpenAI has an unbelievable number of free users. People paying $20 a month or more are in the minority. It’s not cheap to serve LLMs to hu

The people who care about open versus proprietary models or even care about using good models at all aren’t using the ChatGPT free and ultra low cost tier, where these ads show up. Any discussion about ChatGPT ads attracts all these assumpt

The judge already ruled that it was fair for Anthropic to use books for training if they acquired them legally.

They actually did this. > Anthropic spent many millions of dollars to purchase millions of print books, often in used condition. Then, its service providers stripped the books from their bindings, cut their pages to size, and scanned the

The lawsuit was a mixed blend of individual authors and publishers. It was started by a group of authors, not publishers.

by Aurornis 3mo ago
This is a settlement that the authors and Anthropic agreed upon. They agreed on the amount last year. The judge approved it now. The lawsuit was for the way the books were acquired. They already ruled that it's not infringement to use

The proposed CSAM scanning used perceptual hashing to try to identify CSAM material known to law enforcement. It was not a tool to identify private images as being underage. That’s an impossible task.

TL;DR: Instead of measuring the percentage of homes that are owned by people who live there, they want to measure the percentage of adults who own a home. Feels like an apples and oranges situation. The two numbers each have their own value

If you are a collection of 5 companies with annual net income in the hundreds of billions of dollars, the debt is actually still their problem. Everyone likes to repeat this tired cliche but skips all of the steps that would have to happen

I like all the different comments in this thread saying that most companies do X, where X is a different answer from each person: LiteLLM, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code.

by Aurornis 3mo ago
GitHub Copilot is the sticky product in your org. You can choose a selection of different models within it, but you're not using Codex or Claude Code.

That's a good question. Some of the perspectives in the book can be helpful. The limitation is that the scenarios and themes in the books are always a little too perfect to reflect real life. Like you're watching a movie and every

I feel like there could be a lot of value in understanding the psychology of teams and using it to build an environment where they can thrive. However, every person I've worked with who was into these workplace-psychology books started

For personal use I agree. For companies, these decisions are very sticky. Companies go through a lot of red tape to get anything purchased and approved, then they discourage change because it's a lot of work. So the product that gets a

It’s a sneaky statistic. You could say that 100% of the startups I worked at used Windows laptops because at least one person had a Windows computer somewhere. If you saw the engineers you’d see 80% Macs and 20% Linux laptops. The statistic

There should not be errors during normal use at rated speeds. With non-ECC RAM running a memory test and getting any errors means it’s not stable. The memory tests run at maximum bandwidth constantly so a few days of full bandwidth memory t

Parent comment didn’t say anything about data centers. Getting power from the areas with high renewable energy density over to the population centers is a good goal to have.
