i think this becomes somewhat less of an issue once SpaceX gets Starship fulfilling contracts at scale. they're limited in width by the max payload faring width for Falcon 9, which is like half that of starship. add to that an exec cla

this is a misread. it's still unclear whether use of copyrighted works to train LLMs falls under fair use but, with current laws, the answer is probably yes. you may not like that but, even if it changes, existing models were trained u

Sure. Mazda’s CX-3/5/9 in the aughts and early teens often had licensed Ford engines. The current Ford Tourneo Connect has a wholly VW-manufactured engine. It’s probably most common when an automaker introduces a new make and want

same reason i hate gradle/maven/ant: shipping a big runtime that many devs won't have installed for a build tool is bad. even with AOT, you still need a dotnet runtime.

i don't think this speaks to the general reasons someone would rewrite a mid- or low-level project in a high-level language, so much as to the special treatment JS/TS get. yes, your data model being the default supported, and ever

C# is a decently-designed language, but its first principles are being microsoft-y and java-y, which are perhaps two of my least favorite principles. that aside, i've worked on C# backends deployed to lots of linux boxes and it's

funny you bring up this analogy. tons of auto manufacturers these days will license other mfgs' engines and use them in your cars. e.g. a fair number of Ford's cars have had Mazda engines and a fair number of Mazdas have had Ford

one really easy example is the AI arms race. and make no mistake, it is an arms race that matters for maintaining global American supremacy and ensuring china stays secondary. LLMs are one of the very few recent technologies where the margi

this is the least-bad state of things. consider the financial literacy (or notable lack thereof) of the average person. consider how much worse active investing would be, particularly in light of the bubble-y market regime recently prevaili

Believe it or not, twelve figures can probably influence an election regardless of the first digit. Zeroing out tesla and taking him down to a paltry hundred-billion-and-change would still leave him handily able to cut another quarter-billi

The guy is probably on some sort of spectrum and not well-composed at the best of times. It would be monumentally stupid enough, beyond other stupid musk decisions, that I am convinced people who rage about it and boycott teslas or whatever

Yep, freedoms of speech, of association, and to bear arms are seriously jeapordized by nearly every ruling European regime. It’s a shame America doesn’t stand up for our values and punish Europe until she quits oppressing her citizens.

To be clear, the french regularly engage in violence, of which the yellow vest riots are an excellent example. Damage to property and injury to persons is not “political organization”, it is definitionally violence.

germany probably has a fair case to do so but the UK hardly does given she furnished the harris campaign with a large amount of free labor, nearly 100 staffers: https://mynbc15.com/news/nation-world/british-labour-

i don't believe the ukraine has shown willingness to accept anything less than a status quo ante bellum resolution. i don't really blame her for this - in her position, i'd push for everything back plus the crimea to boot - b

even the UK surely wouldn't risk the horrible PR of extraditing someone from a third nation because a citizen of a completely different country didn't follow their asinine laws. and were the person in question an American citizen,

the problem is something that has gone from working 10% of the time to working 50% of the time still requires me to thoroughly review everything it does 100% of the time. hence my comment about "the intern problem".

the chamberlain/weimar comparison is inaccurate for this case. germany was an ascendant power; russia is a crippled one. the war was actually a great investment because it's decimated russia's military population and stores o

this seems like a misread. we get something out of sending resources to Ukraine. it's a decently-leveraged way to keep Russia, a would-be superpower, down for the next decade or so, to keep bleeding her without bleeding our own young m

there are "a few" problems with this. if you know how you want something done, tough luck. LLMs, even the "really smart" ones, still often do it "their way". they use "their style" (whatever the most

someone owns the forum and it's still a big archive of stuff. backlinks pointing there, old info, can run ads so it should cashflow somehow.

why? if you're located elsewhere you can literally just ignore UK/EU law. they don't have jurisdiction over you; worst-case scenario is probably them ordering ISPs to block your site.
