Not even close the service offered by, as an example, Pix in Brazil.

Does that actually help? Because it would send a pretty strong message if the payment screen said, "sorry you can only buy this with amex/discover" (click here for why) but that doesn't seem to be how this plays out.

It's a student project with a ToS that's basically "don't use this for anything that could get us in trouble." I don't find that particularly unreasonable especially when honor codes at schools are usually stri

I can appreciate that scientists in the field are fighting the good fight and picking it apart but it seems that this is just PhD nerd sniping. Designed specifically to get the world to waste their time going um actually… to a bad faith p

It's almost surely because of where you sourced it rather than its rawness. I have a friend who is a cheese monger, which like what a cool job, and they source fresh high fat content milk from a local dairy farm. He brought some home t

I personally don't see a difference between large motor with capped speed and a small motor legally speaking. The thing you want is a speed limit and you got it. Clearly bike riders prefer a capped large motor because you get better ac

If I put a speed limiter on a Harley so that it doesn't exceed 30 mph is it a bike? I'm sure teenagers would love this loophole to drive a motorcycle without a license more than the 70mph bike. Clearly speed isn't the only th

Why is no one in this thread saying the real reason—because it's meant for business customers who are using LLMs in a professional context sending sometimes five figures of tokens per prompt for 8 hours a day every day. And while busin

Can't really say I agree after being quite pleased with Biden's admin—would have been more than happy with the sequel. I clearly don't see the same thing you see in this guy but at least someone is happy and optimistic about

If you live in one of the states that hasn't yet added one of these laws. I expect it will become a federal bill in a year or two so there aren't 20 variants of the same law. You can really feel the "big tent" nature of

And since individually targeted ads perform better and are less expensive it pushes everyone to big US tech platforms. This isn't small advertisers' faults, the law signed their death warrant. They made local grocery stores more e

I mean I support what could be termed "mass immigration" and hold no biases as to what kinds of work they would do. I see no reason they wouldn't find work in all sorts of fields. But one of the most common talking points aga

Banning porn depicting choking "to protect women from violence" is so funny. You could not ask for a better example of moral panic from people that didn't do their research. Choking is a strongly women preferred kink.

What an uninspired article. Doesn't dig into the regulations and explain why they exist in the first place before dismissing them out of hand. They don't even do a good job of saying what the regulations actually are outside of ha

Well yeah, because variables in what you consider to be a strongly typed language are allocating the storage for those variables. When you say int x you're asking the compiler to give you an int shaped box. When you say x = 1 in Ruby a

You can sell open source software and you can charge for binaries and add additional terms on the binaries that restrict distribution. This is how RHEL works. But what you can't do is prevent someone who acquired the source from distri

Wouldn't the path forward be that the browser acts more like a kernel with a syscall interface which both V8 and WASM use? You wouldn't access "Web APIs" from WASM because those would be written in JS but you get access
