They didn't get "caught." It was published, by them, when they released Fable a few days ago. They were very clear about it. It wasn't the correct way of handling the problem they were trying to address, but they definit

Many of us would love to, and the models are there, but we're constrained by heavily inflated hardware costs. If big AI does crash out, it would be an absolute gold-mine for local LLM. Cheap, efficient, Nvidia GPUs, and RAM that can ru

So you say "It's the publishers" but you haven't really explained the mechanism of action? Who writes the class syllabus? Nobody from the publishers does, professors and or departments do that. Maybe based on advice from

The reason abusive textbook practices persists (i.e. instead of free/shared) is because students and parents direct their anger and complaints in the wrong direction. Specifically, the people making you waste money with bi-yearly re-re

I’m sure we’d all welcome your alternative and or superior proposals. Without that, this just comes across like unconstructive commentary. This moves the needle a little your proposals or the lack thereof don’t move it at all. So I’ll take

Yeah; unfortunately what would good commentary look like? It is more of the same, but now with even higher prices, and even more limited availability. But at least it scores 5% better in whatever benchmark they've selected (*when guard

Google sold Apple the ability to run certain Gemini models on Apple's data-center hardware, using Google's orchestration layer. Apple hooks into that not dissimilar from an API-provider, and then builds everything upstream. Meanin

With Windows in particular, you absolutely can navigate Windows + Office keyboard only. I do it every day. Now, third party software, is always going to be all over the place. Stuff that was largely built on Win32 components works fine, but

Windows 10 is end-of-life; so the question itself is odd. It may work on Windows 10, but they definitely don't support an EoL version of their OS.

I suppose. But that's a "Perfect is the enemy of good"-like argument. Wherein: Why even reduce an easy to exploit attack surface when there could be holes elsewhere?! Because, you know, it makes things much more secure even i

Let me provide context, since a bunch of people responding with "every package manager can be hit!!!" npm, by design, allows all packages to run package supplied arbitrary code as the logged-in user after an update completes. That

Yes including for DeepSeek. But while DeepSeek Pro doesn't run on other people's infrastructure, several other Chinese models you get competitors competing to offer them on price. We'll see how it winds up, but we could see m

Not hard; just initially expensive (hardware mostly). While I'm also a huge fan of local LLMs and believe they will be key in the future; I think the claim of "just as good" is hyperbole. They're productively useful to

I assume cryptocurrency, since OP mentioned "true believers." There isn't cryptography true-believers, it is just mathematical proofs with sometimes good or bad code wrapping it.

I think the caution around Bitwarden is justified; and I think it is good that the message is getting out there. I will say "while you still can" is hyperbole, and will do more to distract from the larger (correct) point about Pri

People mock Excel's encryption, mostly based on the outdated binary format's "encryption" (which admittedly was a joke). Modern Excel is actually legitimately secure, it uses PBKDF2 (5K rounds) to hash the user's pa

I'm surprised no eBook Reader vendor has a Project Gutenberg "Store." Where you can just browse Gutenberg, find a book, and just grab it down to the reader. Instead, they either are actively hostile (Kindle), or require the u

I tried it when Claude released "Remote Control." It is a cool feature when it works; particularly with how usage-limited both Claude and Codex have become particularly during prime-time.

Yep; I think the above comment took the wrong lessons. What actually happened in the US is that "common norms and expectations" were thrown out the window, so instead of the question being "What is traditionally done?" i

Thanks for the explanation. Yeah, I use "genuinely" and "honestly" far too much; and often in odd places. It is a bad habit. As to that comment's tone, my entire comment history is visible going back years . I&#x27
