Wouldn’t you just have fallbacks? Today’s frontier models are just better than the other models, they don’t really have a ton of entirely unique abilities that can’t be replicated with more time and effort. So you use the frontier model, th

But marketplaces also exist and big players in a marketplace are often able to manipulate the market such that they are advantaged and small players are not able to break in.

I don't think the core issue is the health insurance companies stealing money, it's the deep inefficiencies that come from the position the insurance companies hold. How many man-hours are spent dealing with insurance paperwork? H

How do we know the training data did not contain child sexual assault and that’s what’s used to generate “accurate” images? “Just a multi million array of floats” could be applied to anything once it’s digitally encoded.

It’ll be obvious when you turn “their” head that it’s not real.

Interesting thought. But the Trump administration is absolutely vindictive enough that they’d put some kind of import restriction on Anthropic as punishment if they left the US and they won’t want to lose the US market, as much as the curre

Because a lot of the time there won’t be any error when you’re wrong, just silent data loss.

That kind of gets to the absurdity of it. Either it’s a wildly powerful next generation model with incredible capabilities and thus needs to be limited… or it’s another progressive enhancement like we’ve seen already and limiting access t

They have affiliated themselves to him. Watch, within a month of Democrats being back in power they’ll be harping small government, denigrating the national debt they ballooned themselves. There’s no reason to help them attempt to disavow i

Lobbyists exist in a lot of countries. It’s only in the US where they’re as problematic as they are.

What surprises me more is that any of the AI CEOs believed them. They were in the tank for Trump because they thought Biden/Harris would stifle them… and here we are.

Good grief. Really? > The 90s were the most violent period in terms of crime. So any increase in violence from, say, five years ago to today doesn’t matter because it isn’t as bad as the 90s? ICE agents killing people and detaining other

Why are podcasts exempt from the “they make money off you coming back” issue? They have the exact same motives. Non profit news also doesn’t have the issues you’re describing. Sites like Propublica do incredible work. The reality is that e

For those of us living in the US there is a clear backslide in corruption, attempts at voter suppression and increased economic inequality compared to just a few years ago. Expanding out to the entire world and choosing the arbitrary point

I don’t think we can examine these things in isolation. We do have more and more news available to us than ever before but: a) there are more other things than ever before too. Used to be folks would watch the nightly news because there w

This feels dangerous. Being obsessed with reading the news, watching endless cable news, getting steams of push notifications… yeah, unhealthy. But completely ignorance of what’s going on in the world is not something to be lauded. It’s how

I assume speed. But also, I know “rewrite in Rust” is a meme but if you’re doing something new, why not ? I can’t see a good argument that a pile of shell scripts would be a superior way to organise things.

Isn't this a problem contained to npm more than Node itself? I'm imagining pnpm or others being able to adopt a package.json file that allows comments, then, when actually publishing, ensuring the published package.json is regular

It isn’t really a normal thing to do, no. Do you think they keep dossiers on everyone who complains about concession prices? About long lines to get in? Do you think people who have done either of those things get denied access to MSG? The

Debating this specific dossier ignores the larger issue, IMO: > MSG has deployed facial recognition technology since 2018 to identify people entering the venue. MSG’s facial recognition systems have been used to block entry to the stadiu

If your document details personal information about your competitors employees and their personal contact details then I think the situation might be comparable. And very much not normal.

I have a TCL Roku TV that I use disconnected and with an Apple TV. It still has annoyances here and there, like pausing for three seconds or so on every startup before it switches inputs. I’d pay a mild premium to not have that.

Unfortunately being technically possible is only half the story. If it won't pass iOS App Store review it isn't a viable strategy.

The USA doesn't have one voting system. Each state has their own. Perhaps you could explain how "progressives" rigged the system in a state like Georgia, an overwhelmingly Republican state with a Republican governor?

I was under the impression it was because Java wouldn’t work on mobile devices. Is that not the case?

So, like I said in my previous comment, any moves to require ID in order to vote should be paired with comprehensive programs to make sure ID is free and easily available to all eligible voters. You haven’t considered why it isn’t? > rec

I think you’ve spent a little too long huffing right wing media glue. There are valid arguments against voter ID requirements. Primarily that not everyone has ID. Any push for voter ID should be paired with a comprehensive program to aid fo

I think the point OP is making is that the Trump administration would never propose a system like that. They don’t want to replace voter registration with a mandatory system all citizens use as an essential part of their lives. They want to
