Sure but is that evidence that content type does not matter?

But it’s the incoherence of the EU support that’s so weird. Apple ships USB-C phones (a year before required): look at the EU standing up to big tech and forcing consumer-friendly products. Crazy policies cripple small business and domestic

Sure, but technically proficient users often have other things they want to spend their time on, outside of exercising technical proficiency on every single thing. Heck, I don’t even do my own oil changes anymore despite it being easy. Life

Fair, but I disagree. This person is interviewing at Anthropic. If they’ve done a decent job of prep work, they know something about the business, the challenges, possible adjacencies, etc. Springing “hey what if our core business goes to z

Well, do you think perfect copy protection is possible? Same problem: if humans can see the output, it can be copied.

Explain “exact same thing”? Like it load the Wikipedia page for Fort Worth, Texas, does it make Wikipedia spin up an editor to go write the article? I’m really not sure how you’re getting “exact” here.

Are you thinking distillation goes from zero to complete model? I believe it can be used in the RL / fine tuning sense, in which case 150,000 requests, assuming every one was detected, could move the needle in quality. I agree it could

Can you name one with parts ONLY made in China? Not Taiwan, not Vietnam, but China proper?

I mean, are you fooled by these websites? Training corpuses (corpii?) have always had lies, propaganda, derangement, you name it.

The massive disconnect between “should” and “how the systems really work” that even people at Microsoft don’t know.

Not the person you’re responding to, but I’d say serious here means committed to delivering value for customers, willing to take lower profits in the short term to be steadfast and reliable, deeply introspective about process (with transpar

That’s why head units stay in low power mode for 30ish minutes when you turn off the car. They do not stay in low power for weeks. Car batteries are really not that big, and cranking an engine takes some amps. I had a Subaru crosstrek that

Some of us want to get work done and don’t feel the need to either glorify or hypothesize about what might happen. I’m happy with Claude. If they become (bigger) jerks, I’ll switch to something else. I don’t ha e the energy to praise Anthro

Yeah same. Multiple 20x max accounts, I typically hit > 50% of the fable usage limit on eace, literally never seen a guardrail. Maybe I’m boring? Maybe they have some kind of account reputation system?

What an odd claim. Is it possible they have families, aging relatives to care for, health issues or other reasons that time is precious and “spend an hour correlating amazing restaurants with their available bookings against my crazy schedu

Can’t say you’re the only one but I certainly want an assistant. I’ve been putting off some dental work for a year or more because I have an implant that’s come lose, and the two dentists I saw about it said they’d have to remove the crown,

Did people stop writing recipes because it’s possible someone could appropriate it without attribution? There are probably software developers (and chefs) driven entirely by recognition, and maybe they’ll keep their secrets secret. But most

Head units aren’t always-on. Typically they go into a low power standby 2-5 minutes after ignition / accessory mode turns off, and go completely power-off 30-ish minutes later. Otherwise any car sitting unused for a week or two would h

I’ll never understand the “I’ve never used it but am absolutely certain I would get zero value from it if I did” mentality. I use MCP to accelerate CAD mould-making and for music production. I use it to avoid copying and pasting slack threa

Hey, I just want measles to not be a thing. If that’s political, many apologies. But to the extent there are political folks who want measles, low pay for women, abuse of gay people, and random harassment and deportation of legal immigrants

Exactly. It’s the funniest thing. These books are only being bought by AI companies. It seems pretty clear they only have value to AI companies. Otherwise all these people bemoaning the loss of rare books would be… buying them. “How dare th

Well many had ancestors brought over in slave ships. Others came to work the railroads because they were willing to trade racist abuse for economic benefits. Are you really that unfamiliar with American history?

The age-old cry of the aging population, faced with tech that didn’t exist when they were young. Turn back time! I’m reminded of the screeds about the dangers of novels.
