The UK’s premier league tv rights are worth a little bit over £1bn/yr. The rights holders are tv companies who also run most of the UK’s domestic telecoms, so they lobby incredibly hard and effectively to have pirate match streaming si

I'm not so certain. I used to buy a broadsheet newspaper, which was full of ads. Now I pay a few hundred a year, and get the same newspaper online, with no ads at all. So, the precursor to online media has already gone through this par

It'd be useful to see "approx monthly cost" or something similar. I love seeing other people's setups, but the first post I clicked on describes at least $400/mo in subscription plans.

I feel that the overly verbose AI generated marketing text on the page doesn’t do this product justice, given that the product’s claim is that it can reduce the verbosity of AI generated output.

That’s the average household cable tv subscription, no? I subscribe to YouTube and my partner subscribes to Prime. We have a joint cable-like tv package too, and one of us pays for Disney Plus. In the past we’d have been consolidated into o

Considering how language models work, you'd expect two distinct conversations on the same mathematical problem to have enormous crossover.

If you could construct a sandbox to test this, where it doesn’t touch the real economy, then yeah it’s a great benchmark. As it is, real humans spent real business hours dealing with this researcher’s spambot generated emails and fraudulent

I'd say this article is a stronger argument that "programming can be a hobby" than "programming is an art". Lots of people do lots of things for enjoyment without a salary, and we tend not to call all of those thin

German law for malicious computer use is fairly loosely defined, and massively favours the harmed party over the one causing harm. I don’t think it’d be a slam-dunk by any means, but a reasonably competent legal team should be able to estab

I think if you start taking cost into account for tasks which models have saturated a long time ago, the bitter lesson stops being applicable. If your task is "write a function to sort a list of 1mn entries alphabetically", a smal
