They may not recoup R&D costs for a while depending on volume, but they will make a profit per unit. They can't sell them as loss leaders like regular console manufacturers can, since then general computer buyers would get them as

I read a plot outline describing "turn of the century" and it threw me when I figured out they were talking about the early 2000s.

It has 1M context, and it's not a huge codebase, and the context is sub 10% for a thorough task. This is an LLM issue, not a model/harness issue. I've run copilot/gemini/pi/opencode/etc for a long time, ag

I run Claude Max daily, and tried letting Opus 4.8 write an ADR with known requirements. After searching through codebase, git history, etc it spat out a surface level reasonable ADR, with the customary bloated text. I started reading throu

The downstream portion isn't proven, and more importantly, even if it was, it's not localized to where the data center is built (and its effect on the local population).

On Craigslist I have direct contact with the seller. Not on Temu. Fedex has (almost) no idea what they're shipping. These are not even apples and oranges.

Industries dump toxic waste into waterways if they can get away with it in the US today (literally today [0]). I agree that I might not be specifically worried about borax milk if FDA was reversed, but I would absolutely expect risky shortc

The sellers are in practice anonymous, and the consumer facing Temu (or Shein, or Aliexpress, etc) very much markets to consumers, yet shirk any responsibility. They are Walmart but ignore the little accountability Walmart faces. Of course

We've already tried the third one in the US before the FDA. A ton of people kept dying. Milk was filled with borax and formaldehyde, coffee was cut with sawdust/charred bone/lead, spices were often 100% counterfeit. The marke

Tron 3 would be fine if not for the main character. Every other character/performance is great IMO, and the Trent Reznor soundtrack. The main performance was just incredibly bad, which sinks the whole movie.
