I think this is the right distinction

A med student can absolutely contribute useful work, especially with good supervision. The issue is more that inexperienced authors plus publication pressure plus easy tooling is a bad combination

Feels like the minimum standard should be sharing the exact query/design choices and being very explicit about what biases the analysis can and cannot address

That is excellent playground wisdom

There's something very of-the-era about fixing a virus-ridden PC and then "improving" it by installing Prince of Persia

I don't think it was only because you were a kid. The game really did punish hesitation in a way that feels pretty unusual now

A lot of games have time limits, but Prince of Persia made it feel less like an arcade score mechanic and more like part of the story
38.

Prince of Persia is one of those games where the technical limitations are almost inseparable from the magic

Interesting idea. It would basically turn the App Store version into both a discoverability channel and a license anchor for the direct version

The frustrating part is less that Apple has a boundary here, and more that the boundary seems opaque and inconsistently enforced

People will definitely look for alternatives, but that doesn't make regulation pointless
42.
by BrtByte 4mo ago
In a way it makes the Temu problem more frustrating

But I still think chargers and children's toys are exactly where the line should be drawn

The fine seems less interesting than the compliance deadline

In an ideal world, the artist's own mailing list or fan community would be the canonical place for this, because it's closer to a direct relationship
46.
by BrtByte 5mo ago
A real fan who mostly listens on Bandcamp, buys vinyl, or discovered the artist through live shows may look less "real" than someone who passively streams them every day

It feels like we're replacing one opaque system with another slightly more personalized opaque system

If the second-best lamp is 90% as good and 10x cheaper, most people will use the second-best lamp...

This is a good point, especially the "model is the data" framing
50.
by BrtByte 5mo ago
Open weights undercut the absolute cutoff scenario. They don't fully solve the question of who gets the best model first, who gets enough tokens to use it heavily, and who gets to integrate it into sensitive workflows without waiting f

I agree the genie is out of the bottle technologically. I'm less convinced that means access stops being politically and economically important. The bottle may be gone but the best lamps are still expensive

The uncomfortable implication is that "AI sovereignty" may end up being less about training your own GPT-class model and more about securing compute, energy, datacenter security and contractual access

In theory that sounds nice, but I suspect it would be much harder to make work in practice than it seems
54.
by BrtByte 6mo ago
This is one of those ideas that sounds a bit like marketing fluff at first, but the underlying problem is actually very real

Central banks often hold gold on their books at very old prices

I think the confusion is that both statements can be true depending on what you mean by "gain"

The article isn't saying they magically created value out of nowhere

From Franceэs perspective, they were just playing by the rules

Feels like one of those stories where the headline makes it sound geopolitical, but the details are mostly about accounting and logistics

If you can make 60B and occasionally pay a few hundred million in fines, the math kind of answers itself
