Hi Felix! Simple suggestion: logo should be a cow and and orc to match how I originally read the product name.

This is exactly why the CEO of Anthropic has been talking up "risks" from AI models and asking for legislation to regulate the industry.

Anthropic are already running much of their workloads on Amazon Inferentia, so the nvidia tax was already somewhat circumvented. AIUI everything relies on TSMC (Amazon and Google custom hardware included), so they're still having to

If this was actually the lesson then they'd be banning Fortinet, but it seems these concerns about security don't apply to US listed companies.

It looks like AI slop to me. "Profiles in Firefox aren’t just a way to clean up your tabs. They’re a way to set boundaries, protect your information and make the internet a little calmer." - classic meaningless comparison.

The service is still in preview, so AWS are explicitly telling people not to put it into production. From my non-production experiments with it, the main limitation is that you can only retrieve up to 30 top_k results, which means you can&#

For those unaware, there are a ton of AI generated videos across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook of physicist Brian Cox saying this is an alien spacecraft: https://www.ign.com/articles/physicist-brian-cox-thanks-yo

Can we get a tag for AI slop generated articles like this one? If the author couldn't be bothered to write it, why would anyone think we should bother to read it?

The fact that they believe there to be a single 'British' accent means this can be quickly discounted as nonsense.

In the UK, everyone refers to a vacuum as a 'hoover'. They are not the dominant vacuum brand there despite the massive name recognition.

Came to say pretty much the same thing. This slop is unreadable for me at this point. I keep getting a paragraph or two into something, read one of the terrible "It's not just word - it's massive hyperbole!" sentences, s

OK, this sounds interesting enough for me to give it a try. I actually think the two axis approach would work well for the way I work.

One thing I love about Hyprland (and Sway, which I was using before it) is the ability to have a key-combination which takes me straight to where I want. Is this possible on Niri, where the virtual desktop expands infinitely?

If it really is a single 100 page prompt then it will be even less reliable than a KPMG audit. (See https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/oct/12/kpmg-fined-... or https://pcaobus.org/

The saccharin writing style would be bad in isolation, but bearable. The overexposure to it is what leads me to dislike it so much I think. The fact is written by AI does add a layer of frustration because you know someone wrote something m

Am I the only one who cannot stand this terrible AI generated writing style? These awful three sentence abominations: "Each subagent runs in complete isolation. The primary agent handles all the orchestration. Simple." "No co

There were many companies in the mid 2000s that were viable only because they bought networks at a fraction of the cost spent to build them.

I wouldn't worry too much, no-one seems to be able to agree what it means anyway. Depending on who you speak to it can be anything from coding only by describing the general idea of what you want, to just being another term for LLM ass

Agreed. It's surprising to see this sort of slop on the front page, but perhaps it's still worthwhile as a way to stimulate conversation in the comments here?

When I tried it with the Walthamstow constituency the ID used a , as a date separator instead of a . Seems odd, but probably wouldn't be noticed by an automated validator anyway.

This isn't limited to property. Britain could just as easily tax profits on the sale of shares in British companies, regardless of the country of domicile of the company or individual that sold the shares. We don't need wealth tax

The British government closed this loophole because it's politically easier than the strategy which is actually needed: properly taxing assets. This is much harder to evade - if you own most of Mayfair, you can't just move your as

Sadly, I think we all know the answer - because laws don't apply to large corporations or wealthy, powerful individuals in the same way they apply to the rest of us.

This is a good read that is a great starting point for thinking about this. It essentially takes the extreme position - SaaS no longer needs a UI, because the LLM is the UI. In reality, as always, I suspect the truth will be somewhere in be

If you do the same thing with Claude, it will tell you it's ChatGPT. The models are all being trained on each other's output, giving them a bit of an identity crisis.
