I don't disagree. It's a legal fraud, but it's not a moral fraud. I do not view "the law" a neutral arbiter of morality, and given what is happening in the US right now I hope you don't either.

> It’s a big source of fraud This isn't 'fraud' in any meaningful moral sense, it is a rational reaction to immoral, unjust school funding models that perpetuate systemic inequalities based on the zip-code you can afford.

> Companies are using your need to have the latest and greatest against you This is a false dichotomy. My love of cinema drives me to have certain features in my TV: 4k, OLED, HDR. My hatred of ads drives to me buy certain products to us

It is a shame reddit lets people hide their post and comment history now so there can be no identifying signals about astro-turfing or bots. I'm sure this is ostensibly about preventing harassment, and in actuality about disguising bot

It is extremely difficult for me to believe that someone watching Babylon 5 as it aired on a typical sized CRT television thought the effects looked "cheap". Hokey? Okay, maybe, that's subjective enough to be non-debatable. B

I think it's a fair response, and I can appreciate the truth in one's own life that leads you to write it. But this situation is a complex dynamic, no two situations are precisely the same either factually or subjectively. The sam

Especially with extremists, a solid foundation of argumentation will do you no good because the facts are beside the point.

That's just one of the things that has to go right: marketing, finding the audience, being in the right places and place in time for your target viewers, etc.

The presumption of good faith has been justifiably obliterated when it comes to Topics Such As These with our right-wing extremist political and media leadership.

I think this is likely to be true for every artistic creation that requires lots of capital and widespread human coordination. Ultimately for a TV show to be great many, many things have to go right, and much of what could go wrong happens

Is this statement a version of "actually, there isn't a problem"? Because if you're dismissing what's happening, all I can do is implore you to look into this issue with a curious and open mind.

We can acknowledge historical change while still acting to prevent unnecessary modern destruction. To my set of values, these ecosystems are worth protection from the accelerated decay almost always caused by human development, and losing t

> I suspect they'll follow the law and do what the court says Which, to me, seems like a clearly worse outcome? I hate the feudal masters more than most on HN, if that somehow matters for the credibility of my own opinion.

Okay, he says they drastically (though temporarily) increased limits after surprising users with reduced limits that generated a strong reaction. This is the definition of hearsay though.

One non-nitpicky critique of the parent you replied to: under USDA labeling rules, a product may only be labeled “grass-fed” if the producer can substantiate that cattle were fed a 100% forage diet after weaning. Feeding grain, including co

I like Claude. I want to use it. But I just never feel comfortable with the usage limits at the ($20/month level at least) and it often feels like those limits are a moving, sometimes obfuscated target. Apparently something irritating

I did the same as you about 20 years ago. And about three years ago, I started reinvesting in physical ownership again for my music and movies. For me this started from a desire to reduce my reliance on major tech companies, especially lice

If you have a plugged-in device, then you can just disconnect the TV from the network.

The comparison doesn't quite hold because AWS is a utility; they aren't an arbiter of quality. Amazon charges for a serverless call regardless of whether your code worked or crashed. You pay for the effort (compute), which is veri

The em dashes didn't strike me as LLM because they had spaces on either side, something I don't typically see in LLM outputs as much. But the quote you highlighted is pretty much dead-on for LLM "speak" I must admit. In

At scale? Programmatically? In a way that actually saves time and doesn't create billing conflict (that always happens to benefit the LLM vendor)? No I do not.

Completely agree. The movie ruined Dr. Frankenstein's motives by adding his benefactor, and ruined his monster by removing the inner rage he felt and expressed towards the world the shunned him. A very, very odd decision by GDT. Simila

There are no real conservationist groups that support this.

I agree with all of this and everything you've said thus far. I hope my prior comment was not interpreted as some sort of indictment or attack on your motives.

OpenAI has seemingly done everything they can to put publishers in a position to make this demand, and they've certainly not done anything to make it impossible for them to respond to it. Is there a better, more privacy minded way for
